Ps5. Eh, I've played worse. It's very junky at it's core so the least of it's problems would be in that manner but yes, there is pop in of NPCs. It's not too jarring or off putting though.
@OP. The game has a certain feel to it and after another three hour session I now understand what it's going for and is definitely a step on from the infuriating jank of Dark Arisen which I gave up on after my third or foutlrth combat encounter. It's going for that slow paced, larger than life world that Skyrim and Bethesda games would give years ago, it perhaps takes it too far in some aspects. I'm left wondering is it really that emergent that it would cost this much jank, NPC's can die, quests are basically all radiant quests and everything just happens organically, large monster fights are insane so perhaps. I'll see with time.
It is very punishing though, you loose health even after reloading a save unless you reload a save where you rested at an Inn and it's quite difficult with slow progression, I've yet to unlock a new skill. There is definitely fun here, the last mission I did turned into a little adventure where I done some emergent quests and helped a few people along the way. I don't know how long that fun will last given the jank and time investment it takes to get some things done, the game really has to be taken at a slower pace and if you try to rush thing I'd imagine it'll be quite frustrating.
