I thought the writing was the best part.if you never played it, it's a solid game but don't come in expecting Fallout New Vegas in space. It's strictly a AA open world game and even in the writing department it wasn't all that good. It was serviceable and I didn't regret my time with it, but I think playing it via Gamepass was the way to go
*shrug* compared to other Obsidian titles it didn't do it for me. I didn't get attached to any of the characters either they were just there for the ride. But I feel Bioware for the most part has always done a better job at characters over Obsidian.
Actually, I think the biggest issue with this game is that it tries to be Fallout New Vegas. The whole journey of starting as a powerless drifter to slowly becoming a really powerful character of your choosing. Issue is, it's barely a tenth of the size and length of New Vegas, so it all feels comically sped-up, the actual outdoor levels are also all just silly with how close everything is to each other. (except for one map, but that appears far too late into the game)if you never played it, it's a solid game but don't come in expecting Fallout New Vegas in space.

Yeah it really just became a trend to shit on this game after it launched. Its sitting at an 82 on opencritic, it s not a bad game by any means.Idk why so many on here seem to dislike this game tbh. I really loved it.
(Then again, I have adored every Obsidian game I've played. Maybe they've just got my number)

I actually agree with pretty much everything here - I only buy games on sale so I didn't feel burned or anything. Yeah, it's too easy, but I just had so much fun romping around. I do appreciate and understand your opinion though, thanks.It's a game that is amazing early into it. But the more I played it, the more the cracks began to show and I realized it doesn't really matter how I build my character. The game isn't uniquely rewarding whether you decide to sneak through it, shoot through it, or talk through it because the game is just flat out easy. No reason to put any amount of thought into which skills to level up because it doesn't matter. No reason to put any amount of thought into the perks because they're a very small number of perks that are the obvious ones to get while the rest are just hilariously useless.
It fails as an RPG in the aspect that how you build your character doesn't really matter due to how easy the game is. I realized this halfway through as I continued to be unengaged by the experience as I played and dropped it. If you can manage to finish one playthrough, cool. But there is very little reason to play the game again. Definitely a game to get on sale or through Game Pass.
Obsidian is one of my favorite developers and I love their RPGs. But I couldn't like this one despite its attempts at being a New Vegas successor.
$60 with a 50% off launch discount probably. Borderlands 3 and Ancestors both had 50% launch discounts.
Please allow Parvati to go out with the nice engineer lady 🙏🙏🙏. She needs it!
That's the thing

It's the fastest I've fallen of a game, it had a really strong first hour but the big choice you have to make was really on the nose and the combat wasn't all that fantastic.
