Really goes to show how much of a mess people are willing to go through if this game is as immaculate as it is broken.
So many crashes and bugs and jank, yet this is still one of the best RPGs. You have so much choice in role playing and character builds, yet it's also very accessible with it being a standard first person shooter. Certainly isn't one of the finest shooters but lobbing mini nukes just never gets boring (explosive builds are best)
The world and story really sell this game. Few to no characters and factions feel one note. Replaying the game and going through different story routes makes you see so much of the world in a new light. Several revelations being quite hidden or not said out loud, but it's never obnoxious to the point of "I have no idea what's going on". The layers of motivation and political intrigue is on another level, one that you can experience at your own pace. The fact you can kill literally every NPC and never get a dead game is admirable. Well, they do cheat by having one unkillable character but that's way fewer then so many other RPGs.
The DLC really wraps this game beautifully with a over arching narrative that only becomes apparent at the the final DLC but has always been there from the start. That, and each location being very unique makes every DLC memorable with its unique themes and atmosphere.
This game feels a like long ongoing role playing session, messy as hell with bizzare events yet full of passion that somehow ends with it all coming together.
