Greedfall

Disclaimer - I am just 10 hours in the game.

Cons:

Its an AA title, which shows in some ways as in lip sync, somewhat dated facial animations and the occasional asset reuse for buildings.

Companions and their interactions are not as fleshed out and expanded like in some classic Bioware games - it's better than KOTOR, Jade Empire and ME1 (maybe MEA too), but not as good as DA2, ME2, or DAI. (disclaimer - my subjective opinion, please don't start with "ME1, JE, KOTOR has the best comps evah!")

The combat is not flashy like in DAI, but if you find your build, it can be fun.

Enemy variety is ok, but I can guess that if you explore a lot and move back and forth through areas, the encounters might start to feel repetitive.

You don't get much filler dialogue options, so don't expect to be able to interrogate NPCs for everything about their whole life.

Pros:

The game is pretty and filled with details. The atmosphere is definitely a big plus. Exploring really feels like exploring, unlike DAI. There are many areas to visit and they are not so annoyingly huge to make them feel like a chore.

It is absolutely a story driven experience from start to...well, 10 hours in so far Reminds me a lot of KOTOR and DAO in that regard. Voice acting is top notch - it's often so good, even in side quests, that I'm surprised. The story itself is interesting thus far and it keeps building up. You can definitely tell the story was the main focus of the game.

And while we are talking about side quests - they are great! Each one so far has it's own story that unfolds along the way, often with twists! The experience overall is like a good detective adventure. You will do a lot of crime solving. Another great thing is that each quest offers a variety of ways to solve many of it's steps - you can just go in with brute force, or pay, or use Charisma/Intuition/Science/Vigor, or use stealth/disguise, or craft an item, or lockpick a chest, etc.

The game is going back to the roots of many classic RPG mechanics with it's multiple stat checks (I love stat checks). There doesn't seem to be a wrong way to building your character, just different options. You won't have the points to take advantage of every stat check opportunity, but this won't lock you out of an experience, because of the multiple paths you can take. If you are not Charismatic enough, you might have enough Science to get the information you need yourself or enough Intuition to bluff your opponent. Or your Vigor is high enough to traverse otherwise inaccessible places and sneak in through the back door.

The factions in the game give you the opportunity to play a diplomat (skilled or a terrible one) and I find this to add well to the RPG experience. The option to disguise yourself and infiltrate otherwise inaccessible faction controlled areas is a nice feature that not many games offer.

You get more than one companion quest for each companion and those often evolve into more than what they initially seem. I have to say it again - the quests in this game are done with a lot of effort and love. As I am a sucker for good side quests, Greedfall wins an awful lot of points in my books.

No spoilers really, but just to be on the safe side:
