With the caveat I dropped this after only about 5 hours, this really didn't grab me. May have been better at the time and the combat isn't bad, but the intro area has incredibly MMO-ish design in terms of questing (linear, self-contained, minimal reactivity). New Vegas came out two years earlier and the team worked on Morrowind, so I have to assume this is either pointless filler content that isn't signposted or just the way the game works. The thing that ultimately turned me off can be explained in a small anecdote:
After hearing mention of the situation from another character, I organically find an undelivered letter informing a woman in town that her husband has perished in the war. I go to bring it to her, and while I can ask her about the same 7-8 keywords everyone else can talk about, I can't give her the letter.

My greatest memory of this was a nail-biting attack on one of the overworld convoy encounters, one I managed to win at the cost of one of my controller's thumbsticks from needing to make a really sharp turn. Absolutely fantastic vehicle handling. Unfortunately dragged down by frequent and extremely generic character action sections (it's just Arkham combat) which killed my interest.
