really great time capsule and clearly a work of immense passion, despite being a total mess throughout. luckily it is now 2021 and you can install a bunch of mods to get rid of the sewers, improve the combat, fix various stupid bugs. it's quite a nasty game which doesn't like its characters or people more generally, but i can really sink into that attitude as a specific, angry Moment of gen x culture which hit us nasty little millennial goblins like a ton of bricks.

bethesda games used to be broken and badly written in fun ways. my favourite fact about this game is that they organised the script in alphabetical order when they gave it to the voice actors, so the reason everything sounds so disjointed is that two lines in the same conversation might have been recorded hours apart from each other. thats the type of absolutely insane decision-making which went into making this game, and for that alone i have to support it.

i rate this highly because i'm a boring guy, but really because this was the high point of mid-tier games, when a studio would be given a solid budget to turn in a CoD rip-off for a major publisher, and then given free reign with what they did with it. i respect the hell out of taking that brief and making something so utterly scathing and depressed. good for them.
