Optimization is only one of many complaints, albeit the biggest.

The AI and dialogue is flat out bad. You can walk up to enemies on the hardest difficulty and just shotgun them in the face. This is one of many games where higher difficulty = take more damage, not smarter enemies. It’s old and tired at this point. I’ll happily take half as many bad guys if they were twice as smart.

Wasteland 3 came out earlier this year, was an indie top down RPG, and while it had just as many bugs, it absolutely takes CDPR, the studio responsible for maybe the best written game of the last decade in TW3, to writing school.

If the issue was just optimization, I’d be happy as a clam. I can deal with pop in. But it’s simply not the case.
