Early days for me as in I got through "Character Customisation" which took a Looong time, well for me about 45 minutes but there were loads of customisation categories that I ignored as I was not interested like scars, butt sizes and many other things similar, some could easily spend well over an hour in there I am sure.
One thing I did note is where quite a few people are mentioning the artwork/graphical design, I think it might be customisable to a certain degree for characters at least. I say that because when I was customising I came to a selection that referred to the character and their followers with 4 choices I think, Cinematic (default), Cold, Warm and sharp and trying each one changed the visual appearance, I will find out tonight if it makes a difference to the characters overall appearance once I get to a spot with some decent lighting.
Shader compilation is the first thing you come across when starting the game for the first time, it took around 10 - 12 minutes for me and the AIO fans were starting to ramp up significantly but by the time I got to the Bar straight after customisation things were steady and silent on the cooling front. Pre play everything seems smooth and well thought out but like I said early days, a nuke may drop at any time lol.
At the moment I have set detail to High on the games recommendation with a couple of further tweaks but RT off for now, I will play some more with graphical settings soon to get a feel for what my somewhat aging system can do with this game.
Edit: I started with Human Warrior. You also get to customise the Inquisitor who apparently makes a few appearances throughout the game.
