even before 2.0 the game was pretty playable and decent, but it's far from everything they promised. RPG aspects are put aside and when I played I felt my impact on the story was less than that of Skyrim missions. The main quest in particular is basically resumed to one option in the end, a lot of side quests are like that, and the factions are very clear "endless enemy" burden. It's not a bad game, but it's a bad role-playing game

The main story has multiple endings, and also a hidden ending. It's not really that single choice. Also, there's all the characters and how they interact has some impact on the end story depending. Some side quests can similarly become available or unavailable depending on some choices. There's also the relationship with Johnny, etc. The roleplaying aspect apparently improved in Phantom Liberty. But I wouldn't say CP is worse than Skyrim! Both have their moments

I agree with you on the point it was decent even before 2.0 and that there's missing features. If you're on PC though, there's a lot of mechanics added in by mods too!
