I’ve been very busy with work the last few months so I haven’t really played any games, but things are finally starting to get back to normal a bit and I wanted to try this RPG. I played it a bit when it came out but decided to really dive into it this time. Just wondering if there’s anyone here who’s played it and has any advice? I’ve had the game spoiled for me already so don’t worry about spoilers.

    The game’s maps are like walled areas of differing sizes so don’t expect open world or a sandbox.

    Overall I enjoyed it, just never felt like I needed to replay it like a Bethesda game, I play those once and do the things I want in it and move on.

    Yeah, was kinda my take too.

    You have freedom to backtrack, but there’s little reason to do so, so it plays kinda linearly.

    And there’s little to “stumble upon” outside the cities.

    The perks are almost all of the “slightly tweak one stat” variety, so there’s not a lot of excitement there.

    Aside from the “science weapons”, which have some unique characteristics, the weapons you get tend to have pretty much forgettable characteristics, too, including the uniques. You’re not getting Ratslayer or the like.

    It’s got a lot of similar elements to the Fallout series, but it didn’t click for me the same way.

    Was pretty bug-free, though.
