It grew into a game without as many bugs. I feel mixed recommending the game too strongly despite having a few dozen hours in it.
The main story didn't hook me too strongly. Its one of those main storylines where the more you progress down the storyline the worse things get for the protagonist. If you like the protagonist you don't want to torture them. If you don't like the protagonist you just feel disconnected from the whole thing. I started with liking the protagonist but ended up more on the side of not liking them.
The side missions and exploration was a lot of fun. I especially enjoyed infiltration/theft missions which offered a variety of solutions. Either quiet hacking stealth mode, guns blazing mode, stealth killing, stealth knockouts, or just running in and out. Or some blend of all the options.

I haven't encountered it. I've tried changing my writing by removing extra crap. Having shorter writing probably helps.

Never bothered me, but ya this game does have that kind of camera. Except when steering the ship. The forward mast thingy gets in the way.
Getting snuck up on isn't a thing. There is an on screen indicator when you have an enemy's attention. And the camera is zoomed out enough in melee that you always have enough reaction time between enemy on screen and enemy attacking.
Stealth on your part is also not a thing. Which is probably consider 'good' but I guess that's a more controversial opinion than some of my other "good" items.
My life has felt similar. Was at a highschool that wasn't anything super special. But had enough well off kids that I was solidly in the middle of the top classes. Got into a large state school, but was in the honors program there. So again it was just me sitting in the middle of the top class. Got into the workforce and it felt similar. Was at a good tech company with smart people but I was still only in the middle.
Feels the same around here. If there is a group of people that belong in the top tenth percentile of users here I'd place myself in it. But I'm only in like the middle among that top 10th percentile.
One time I remember truly feeling dumb was playing a board game with Robin Hanson and another Econ professor at Bryan Caplan's house. Robin and I were new to the game, the other econ professor was not. There was a recognizable meta to the card game that I partly pieced together after having played it. Robin Hanson asked enough questions at the beginning that I realized afterwards he was piecing together the meta just based on the rules. I got slaughtered in the game basically playing according to the rules but without a useful strategy. Hanson and the other professor nearly tied, with Hanson losing out just barely. I only give myself partial credit for understanding the meta cuz of Hanson's questions, and some of his comments afterwards led me to 'get it'.
