As someone who doesn't really enjoy sci-fi settings or RPGs, this is one of my favorite games of all time. Everything good about the first game is still there, the combat has been streamlined and improved, and you have SO many companions with their own unique aspects and quests. This game's companion system is absolutely top-tier with emotional stories, loyalty, and consequences for your choices that I haven't seen in any other game. I can't talk much more about this without spoiling it but god DAMN, it is good. I am shocked at how much I enjoyed this game, as I only played it because I wanted to speedrun it. I did not expect to enjoy it so much casually.
