I tried the first and just couldn't get into it. But the game industry needs titles that aren't full of loot boxes and requiring online connectivity
Yes, not every game needs to appeal to everyone - the problem is that big publishers are always aiming for the lowest common denominator, that’s why we end up with many bland and similar games
Did you try any mods that remove some of the limiter features? For example I played with encumbrance set to zero and all vendors with gold to sell you. Both were huge QoL improvements.
I couldn't get into the combat. I'm too used to Skyrim and simple fighting systems. Maybe I'll try it again
I would maybe suggest modding your defence to a high level, unlocking defence perks, and spamming block. The combat certainly becomes more manageable as you level up, unless you're simply fighting a group of people by yourself. Then it never gets easier.
