>More complex and fun combat than vanilla Skyrim (use melee, spells and ranged weapons all in the same fight without any menus/pausing, more reasons to use heavy attacks/parries, etc)
>Multiple densely packed zones for you to explore (reduces open world bloat)
>interesting moral and political decisions that have consequences and contribute to an ending slideshow so you feel the impact of what you picked (like F:NV)
>a small cast of party members written with a lot of depth and possessing varying views on the world based on their experiences (they'll call you out on your choices and you can either justify them or piss off your companions)
>cool fantasy world that was already well received in the Pillars of Eternity games

This game has a ton of good in it. Was it really ruined by ugly human models and weird writing?
