I'll be honest, it's only occasional third person. I generally find female voice acting better in games (yeah, I know there is none in ES games).
On a tangent I thought loudspeaker calls in public were the worst thing until I sat on a plane behind a guy watching a movie on loudspeaker. Loudly.
I mean, wtaf.
Personally I think £50 is a bit steep for a game I've already bought and played for about 800 hours. £30 I would have right in there. £40 I'd probably still have dived in. £50 puts it on my Wish List until the price drops. Unless all the self-declared "hard-core gamers" announce they hate it, in which case I'll buy it immediately.
I've tried it on Game Pass and it's... ok. It's superficially pretty enough, albeit it has that weird oily-sheen look that a lot of UE5 titles tend to. Unfortunately, things break down in motion, as the character animation is definitely still stuck on the Xbox 360.
If you've got Game Pass, it's worth checking out, but I personally wouldn't shell out £50 on this.

This looks SOO GOOOOD!!!!!!!
Skyrim with these remastered graphics would be awesome..
OR Ultima Underworld

Deluxe has horse armour
There's currently 138K people playing this right now on Steam alone, it's only just launched and did so fairly suddenly without long term pre-order options afaik so we can expect that number to rise.
To put into context, that's more than DA:V and Avowed, which are the closest recent releases I can think of in a similar vein with all time peaks of 60.5k and 19K respectively, KCD2 had a respectable overall peak of 255K but it's more history focused without the fantasy elements so I'm not sure if it's fully comparable despite being of a similar genre.
All of these games other than KCD2 were also available on Games Pass or EA: play at launch.
Suffice it to say this has clearly been a very lucrative venture, maybe we'll see Morrowind getting the same treatment?
(I still want to know if level scaling is still baked into this release!)

I would pre order a UE5 remaster of that just to see Morrigan in 4k
You ok dude? Shouldn't you be stuck in Veilguard?
Forgot it existed, see it's still living rent free in your head though
I make that £6.9 mill, of which Steam gets a chunk, and so does Microsoft and Bethesda. I can't imagine it cost less then £50 mill to make. Long way to go yet to prove the concept.
