Couldn't see one and the 'Upcoming Games' thread was getting polluted.

I'm about 4 hours in and it's both enticing and aggravating. Some of the decisions around controls are bizarre, like forcing you to button mash to sprint with the horse, or having to press an extra button (control on keyboard) to 'initiate' certain actions like talking to vendors or chopping down trees. And some odd, non-sensical quest design decisions, like having to drop the iron ore and timber off at the vendors' assistants halfway across Hernand, without the quest-giver ever telling you this. Just doesn't make sense from any perspective.
But the combat is pretty good so far, and feels quite meaty when you land blows. And the landscape and towns look great.
I probably need to play around with the the graphics settings too, but everything looks way over saturated and creates janky texture edges.
Really hope they roll those patches out quick, though. I got stuck in a random bucket/tub thing and couldn't get out, including through jumping (the precision jump action is strange). Also, not having storage at all is so weird. How do you spend 7+ years making a game and not think storage is an obvious thing to have available? It's even in the tent at the start, you just can't use it. Supposedly on the list to get patched quickly.
