This sounds like average Bethesda experience. I always get hyped by their pre-releases, but I find the actual games to be tedious and boring slogs.
I know it’s down to personal taste, but I think I enjoy a bit more rail-roading and bit less sandbox. Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 are “just right” for me, the story is tight. Bethesda games a bit loosey-goosey (ha!) with their storytelling.
