The depth, attention to detail, amazing voice acting, incredibly engaging mechanics, and overall fantasy charm of this game cannot be understated. It truly is the perfect 'Role Playing Game'. I've never played DnD before, nor a Dungeons and Dragons style game, but it has been quite simple and EXTREMELY fun to pick up and get the hang of. I'm not anywhere near finishing it yet, but I can safely say I love the game.
Interestingly, it's also been a great game for my non-gamer sister to pick up and play with me. She loves fantasy, and the lack of button-mashing or fast-paced realtime combat or complex 3-dimensional movement has really done wonders for how much she's able to enjoy the game, since you can really put your focus in to the lore, and depth of abilities rather than use half your brain to develop muscle memory and reflex. So I'd highly recommend for co-operative play, even if the other party isn't a battle-hardened gamer.

Important Edit

There is one thing however, that I must criticise. The multiplayer experience in this game in terms of connection stability, has really been something of a nightmare. Even when playing on a LAN lobby, my sister, who is the guest joining my hosted game, faces CONSTANT disconnects, sometimes 60 minutes apart, sometimes 5. It gets to the point that we'll spend 2 hours 'playing' the game and only progressing 20 real minutes worth of in-game story, because it takes so much time to sit through the random disconnects, reloads, and game lobbies not showing up in the multiplayer menu unless you refresh ~40 times.
It's really discouraging when many of our co-op sessions end not because we were satisfied with the day's play, but because the game simply would not let us play without making it incredibly frustrating to do so., I really hope Larian finds a fix for this issue soon, because speaking from the viewpoint of my sister and I together, the game would unironically become 20 times more enjoyable with just that one fix.
