This game is one of the best RPGs I’ve played in a long time. It’s beautiful, with a lot of detail and areas to explore - and exploration that feels rewarding and meaningful. The writing is smarter, grittier, and less goofy. The characters are more fleshed out and don’t feel as one-dimensional as the first game (which I still loved). The factions are also better written, and there’s a sense, much like New Vegas, that there’s no real ‘good guys’ in the game. Most importantly, this is the first RPG I’ve played in recent years where decisions feel truly meaningful. The choices you make in terms of dialogue, quests, and how you level up your character’s skills makes a HUGE difference to the outcomes in the game. Some of the decisions are truly difficult. As someone who’s being playing RPGs for decades I can’t recommend this game enough. Already can’t wait to see what they do with the DLC.
