I liked it overall. In general the story is enjoyable, characters are a mixed bag. The romances start a bit too early as well. But I liked the different routes (even if they all end up doing the same thing for 80% of the game), and the mythic feats are an interesting second level of character building.
I'm going to spend the rest of the post bitching about design decisions, though.
Major complaints: Every single "non-DnD" system they put into their games drags horribly to the point of being better left on auto (Kingdom management in Kingmaker, Crusade management in Wrath, I'm sure there will be something similar in Rogue Trader).
Needing to rebuff yourself so constantly in the early game is an annoyance to the point that the BubbleBuff mod that handles buffing with a single click went from "nice QoL" to "absolute requirement" after my first playthrough.
I'm always annoyed when the best companions you can take for higher difficulties are always custom hirelings. Let me respec story characters from level 1 (mostly a problem on first playthrough, after you already know the story the party banter is less important).
And the demon city is just fucking annoying. I get the idea of a city of chaos adjusting its layout based on camera angle, but it's just a nuisance. I dread it each playthrough.
