very very good but i'm like 30 hours in and i'm starting to feel the game drag quite a bit so i'm probably gonna put it down for now. this isn't honestly a new thing for me when it comes to bethesda games because i'm not sure i've actually finished the main story in any of them, lol.

excellent and basically unrivaled sense of progression and i'm fascinated by what this game has to say so I definitely wanna come back to it eventually but the last couple times i've booted it up the magic of the earlier parts of the game just weren't there for me.

is it because i've finally stumbled across enough OP gear that i can now very easily deal with pretty much every enemy i run into? is it because i just got to the point in the main plotline where i have to run around the map to 7 different places and get approval from a bunch of random people? is the cumbersome inventory management finally getting to me? is it because i fell off of playing it for like a week and a half because the guy who's steam library i was aping this from with family sharing was busy with elden ring (lol)? honestly probably all of the above, and i figure i should probably stop playing now before that sours my enjoyment of the first 30 hours of my playthrough
