Can't hit NPCs, flat combat and no RP in dialogues

[CastielArch]

It's 2025 and this game is just bland (exept for its visuals, ironicaly). You can't hit NPCs, you basicaly can't be mean and have very limited RP choices in dialogues, most of the time you get 3 slightly different ways to say the exact same thing with the exact same concequences. The combat felt better in Skyrim with 2 mods in 2015, the animations both in combat and ialogues are really bad, the dialogues and voice acting are nothing to marvel at when they aren't simply uninspired.

Whole game feels like a safe version of Skyrim made by people who don't like fantasy and RPG outside of being colorful.

It’s definitely more of an action game with RPG elements. I’m fine with that, personally, since it’s what I expected.

RPGs should let you to be evil, if that’s not the case then what’s the point?

Trust me it's better for the game that I compare it to Skyrim than Elden Ring, because if I start comparing it to an action adventure game it's like ditching the .22LR and bringing out the 12 gauge slugs... (also works for Witcher 3 gameplay, Vermintide, KCD, CP2077).

Also, if this game was made by a team of 20 people as a first or second AA game it'd be fine, but this is a AAA from Obsidian, this was embarassing.
