This game fundamentally changed how I look at what games can be (for better or for worse). The first time I ever played an "RPG" and actually felt like I could represent myself in the game's world. I've played it many times over and I feel like every time is at least somewhat novel - sure you'll do the same things in some playthroughs, but the overall context is almost never the same. I'm sure there are other CRPGs from the earlier days of gaming that did all this stuff before. But, playing this, a contemporary game - in a landscape where most big title games are grand hodgepodges of every genre with a battle pass to maximize engagement - was the most refreshing game experience I've ever had
