I love that everything in it feels organic...like every mission and side mission doesn't take place in an instance.  Shit is always constantly going on.  You can be doing a side mission to shoot people with a bow and get rushed by a captain that is just patrolling by.
I do wish you started out WAY WAY weaker than you do.
The power struggles are cool, and there are a bunch of features and concepts that are amazing.  I think it is a significant release and feels very next gen.  Worth the purchase for sure.
