What a surreal experience finally getting around to this game. I definitely think I made the right move playing the other main expansions of the first game before getting to this (thanks Connor). There's so much established lore that's being used right out of the gate, returning characters like Barney Calhoun, and the different 2 scientists dudes from the first game were genuinely heartwarming to see in such a beautiful looking game. Sadly there's no sight of the Adrian Shephard. Which means he's still in that black void, waiting to be pulled out. I really hope he does one day. Poor dude.
