A punishing yet rewarding open-world fantasy where every step outside the city walls feels dangerous and every character has a story to tell.

What players say
Players praise the deep world and atmosphere but warn the game does not work well out of the box on modern systems. The Night of the Raven expansion makes progression much less forgiving, and players say consulting a guide or installing community patches is essential to avoid locking yourself out of content.
