Sandy Petersen you son of a bitch, your episode will haunt my nightmares.

This game has good ideas but it got way too obsessed with it's own difficulty reputation. It feels like every enemy and location in this game is obsessed with making you miserable, be it with poison, hiding behind things, setting traps, or being really hard to navigate. I loved Dark Souls 1 but this one lost the spark.

Great first entry to the series, but they really didn't hit their stride until the landmark title: "Faces.... Tris III".

The only bad thing about this is the outdated engine
Amazing music

oh. oh my god. oh. oh nooo. so this game got taken down by the devs because a furry pedo worked on it, who's fetishes were blatantly strewn into the game. There's a weird settlement of horny lizard people who are very aggravating to listen to. There's a companion that's a young woman slave that you can have a horrific, discord groomer esque relationship with. There's dialogue from said slave girl about how stinky and smelly her feet are.

and worst of all, there's this.

i cannot explain how painful it is to witness this part of the game, i can only share it with you and apologize. this has got to be the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen in a video game. HOW. Like, you could at least make them sentient intelligent creatures!!! i can't say for certain if this was really all this one specific furry's fault, it seems insane for an entire team to not catch this and take issue with it, but dawg WHY would you put that in your militaristic Fallout mod????

aside from that, this just isn't very good. the writing is verrrryyy poor, there's a lot of odd combat/narrative set pieces that do not fit in with the game, and overall it feels unfocused and misguided. i truly do not know why one would want to make an action-heavy game full of linear, CoD-esque setpieces and put it in Fallout: New Vegas of all games. extremely impressive game, though. what they manage to do technically on this engine is marvelous.

more like unworthy of having a good color palette!
