Gold Standard for endless bugs.

This is 10x better than Cyberpunk was at launch. Cyberpunk still actually sucks.

Not successor. A successor to Skyrim would be another, nice looking, but effortless/brain dead RPG. It's Oblivion that initiated the downfall of RPGs as they are nowadays, pretty but idiotic button-mashing quest-marker following games.

Studios like Warhorse and Larian Studios actually head in a completely different direction, back to the root of RPGs that were much more demanding, requiring learning mechanics, being cautious and attentive, with far more interesting and complete narrative.
But nowadays, this can be achieved while also offering amazing visuals, hence confusing KCD2 as a successor of Skyrim. But they're nothing alike except for good looks.

love it or hate it, skyrim sold 60 million copies
imo morrowind was bethesdas peak.

Commercial success doesn't have to mean "actually good".

So what is good? What you decide to be good?

KCD2 is only a successor to its own franchise which stands on its own without compare. (No comparison is needed.)

Sadly thanks to other developers with bad predatory and anti-consumer practices, I'm going to end up waiting even longer to play this one.

(The community didn't help matters, but that's not really the reason anymore. I cannot set a standard only to set it aside for anyone, no matter how much I think someone's trustworthy.)

No one will lose any sleep over your take on this.
