Very well done...so far.

Arkane / Bethesda have more work to make the game performant.

The graphics are a bit too watercolor-ey for my tastes but overall the game is beautifully done.

Buy this game if you enjoy stealth and non-lethal combat solutions.
Do not buy this game if you dislike tedium because you will spend a lot of your play time waiting for the right moment to strike.

I felt like the game was constantly wagging it's finger at me not to use lethal methods to solve a given situation.
I chose non-lethal solutions for all the bosses and at least 50% of the combatants on each level and for some reason i kept moving toward lethal / chaos.

I'm not sure i agree with the morality system in the game since sometimes really bad people have to die in order to make the world a better place.

The developer has given me a razor sharp sword, pistol, crossbow, mines, upgrades and skills to make them even more lethal and then told me that i shouldn't have used them to save the world from some very, very bad people.

Perhaps i don't fully comprehend the subtle nuances the game was trying to convey to me.
(or the developer needs to leave their bubble and look out the window once in a while)

I still think the game is worth the price and Arkane / Bethesda deserve much praise for a very well made game.

But understand before your first play through that the well being of every hostile and non-hostile NPC in the game is your responsibility and if granny stumbles into a fire because a guard bumps into her while chasing you down...

...it's all your fault.
