Perfection.
It's the only word that comes to my mind when describing this game. Is it actually perfect? Fuck no lmao, the game is riddled with all kinds of bugs and crashes. Yet why is this game so perfect in my eyes that despite all the bugs, despite all the times I was stuck in a loading screen and was forced to lose progress, why do I love this game so damn much? The answer dare I say is actually pretty simple. It's the dedication and passion of Obsidian for this game that lets me see past the loading screens past the crashes past everything. Yes that line was cringy but I don't really care there needs to be shown some respect for the developers and what they have created, a game where you are completely free to do what you want, be who you want and go where you want. This game honestly hits it right out of the park, all the way from the game giving you the tools to accomplish being who you want to also granting you various choices in quests that will leave you second guessing testing how you or the character you have created would act in a situation like that and the game almost always will end up leaving you with that feeling of uneasiness, that feeling of not being sure if you did the right (or wrong) thing, I absolutely adore stuff like that.
The characters are also well made making for some fun interactions just by seeing the type of people living in this post apocalyptic wasteland just trying to live their every day lives to the best of their abilities.
The companions are a treat, they all have their own backstories personalities, likes and dislikes and will even give you quests to further progress their own story its brilliant, its beautiful no longer are you trusty companions just that one npc carrying your stuff, you actually start to care for them.
The factions are all really good (although Caesars legion is prob my least favourite of all of them) each one of them having their advantages for if you choose them to be the best choice for the mojave, while also possessing just as many disadvantages.
The DLC are also all amazing all of the containing their own story that just leads up to one of the best final confrontations in a videogame period. However I believe I'll go in depth about those perhaps another day
Final rating:
Masterpiece / 10
