First time playing it, and I really enjoyed it. Used a walkthrough for some of it (the city's quests are a bit of a mess and the constant back-and-forth between city areas can become annoying), but half of the fun really is the exploration and the joy of stumbling into interesting things. A simple combat in an otherwise empty wilderness area can be interesting and satisfying. The main story was fine, nothing revolutionary but good enough, and there's plenty of side quests to do thanks to the Tales of the Sword Coast DLC.

Having said all of that, PLEASE if you're playing the Enhanced Edition, when you reach the ending, just skip the final cinematic and search the original one on YouTube. They completely botched it in the EE and it can ruin an otherwise epic moment.
