Legit played for like twelve straight hours yesterday. God. That time flew by. Haven't experienced that with a game in a long time. I couldn't stop even when things got a bit fetch questy.
I was at the end of day two interrogating a certain someone, cutting right down to the very end of things, and I had multiple thoughts interceding with conflicting ways to proceed. And I thought that was exactly what this game was about. It was stunning. I truly didn't know whether to believe them or my own brain or not. It was astounding writing.
Right now I'm building up a super-sorry superstar 'moralist' communist cop right at the beginning of day 3, ready to explore the other side. Only have 4 real in my pocket so gotta scrounge for bottles to make rent otherwise I'll be hobocop too lol. Can't wait to get home from work and keep going. I have a feeling I'm gonna err on 90 hour side of completion with this one lol.
This is pretty much the exact follow up to Fallout 1/2 that I've always wanted. And you can see that inspiration pretty clearly even though this is obviously it's own thing.
Also I absolutely love how incredulous Ken or other characters get when you just say or do just the most wacky stupid shit.
Anyway, I can't stop raving about this game because it's one of those small inspired miracles like a Morrowind, New Vegas, or Planescape made by passionate and hard working devs that don't come along very often at all.
It's an achievement in the medium. Probably my GOTY
