That's all nice and dandy, but doesn't really amount to much unless they fix that atrocious performance.
I shouldn't have to turn a game down to low settings just to not have it devolve into a stutterfest on a 3K rig...

Especially not if it looks like a game from 5-10 years ago.
Not saying it looks bad, but a game with those graphics should run roughly 3-10x better than this one does.

I haven't checked the new patch, but so far, after the first week's fix it's been running amazingly well for me on ultra settings, 4k resolution, DLSS enabled - sustained 60FPS with slight sporadic drops to 30-40 when turning my camera fast in the city, when arguably it doesn't really matter for my gameplay experience. My rig cost me just about 3k as well, though admittedly, it was put together by professionals who knew what they were doing and what components would perform well together.

How's the situation with the drawing distance of NPC?

How's the situation with the drawing distance of NPC?

I never experienced an issue worth mentioning with this on PC. Either its a console thing or some setting I never experienced.

I can honestly see a pack of goblons assaulting some merchants far down the road, and its no different in the cities.
