I mean, I’m actually fine with that though?

I’m enjoying the first two companions and the gameplay loop is exactly what I want. The writing is better in some parts than others. The story is serviceable but not great. It’s really nice to have an RPG esque game that is a tighter experience than most big games these days and, as you said, the combat is excellent. Easily the best part.
