Patient Gamers

Love it to pieces. Paid absolutely no attention to it before it was released, and due to some friendly advice from an online mate, waited a few months before picking it up, when most of the really bad bugs were already ironed out.

I love pretty much everything about it:

• The score. The music is just so fantastic.
• The settings. Brilliant. Any RPG that isn't set in a plain vanilla fantasy world already has a big advantage when it comes to my affection, but this setting is just super cool.
• The representation. Absolutely not in-your-face, yet so much there.
• The world building. I think they paid absolutely absurd attention to details, like "where does everyone's food come from" and "where does everybody's garbage go".
• The story. I like it.
• The characters. They feel relatable and their motivation makes sense, which is not always the case in many games. I find myself caring about (some of) them.
• The quests. I like them.
• The combat. It started out okay, but now, it is so much fun. I absolutely love what they have done with it after 2.0. I love being able to actually throw people at each others. I love the various melee finishers. I love the cyberware. I love using the wrist rocket launcher to blow up attacking cars. I love being able to throw knifes and axes without constly having to craft more. I love all of it.
• The mods. I love what dedicated modders have done to make a good game into a really really great game. There are such fantastic mods for this game, it keeps bogging my mind.

So yeah, love it to pieces, and absolutely one of my all time favorite games.
