It's REALLY buggy, like the main quest stopped my progress for three (RL) days because somebody wouldn't wake up. Their fix? make it so you can just wake them up without their "I want to sleep thing" because apparently it never occurred to developers that in real life... you tend to be able to wake somebody up in an emergency.
The combat is meh, like bows and arrows are irritating to use most of the time. Especially with 50 different types of arrows which all do different things. Melee fighting isn't hard for any other reason than the controls being awkward. Getting your character to lock onto the enemy you want to fight, which when being ganged up on it's awesome to be able to get rid of the weaker guys first and then worry about the strong guy. Also the game doesn't really give a damn about your character build when it comes to combat as proven with your fight with Runt. If your stealth or bow focused? TOO BAD! dead match on a church in close quarters it is! (so much for choice)
Romance is shallow, like I courted Theresia and after you boink her... nothing? like REALLY? what's the point of having a courtship system in the game if it ultimately is just a notch on your bed post. Like you think it's going to lead somewhere but ultimately it really doesn't. Adding on that most characters in general are pretty bland and one-dimensional. Freaking GTA5 manages to do this better. This is the same with all the other women also where you boink them and then nothing happens.
It's not a true RPG, dialogue, combat and the world are just too restrictive. Even the world is amazingly empty with anything really that amazing, I know it's based on medieval Bohemia but after trying really hard to get into the exploration part of it.. I just started quick travelling everywhere because the woods held very little interest to me. It just gets you more beds to sleep in and let's be honest... with how quickly you can travel between towns was getting enough sleep every REALLY an issue? hell was getting enough food or water ever a issue for anybody?
The survival aspect would mean more if it was harder to survive but making money is so easy and food is available practically everywhere. Also getting to the next town, inn or camp is just SO easy. Why bother with the survival stuff at all? Also no money for food? just eat from one of the million pots at any campfire.
It's their first game so in that they get a lot of leeway but definitely a game that was overhyped. Also In saying that, I never actually looked into the game much until just before it came out so their wasn't really high expectations.
EDIT: Also, limited saves when your game is REALLY buggy was a horrible idea. It doesn't add it difficulty just frustration
