Good story. Lots of side-quests. Decent voice-acting. Some merit in replays where the story and game meta merge. Quick-save works!

Missed opportunities in commanding the ships / flying / role-playing. Crash to desktop. Only one save point. And who the hell REQUIRES an SSD? Missed that in the specs so my bad, but c'mon. If I downgrade the graphics quality I still get several seconds delay before the dialogue sound comes in, still have 24 second loading screens. What are you still loading?

I bought this cuz I thought all the haters were about the mod community. But after a point, the progression through the main quest starts to unfun. Forced moral-based character choices. Bullet sponge aggressors instead of new tactics to combat them. A weapon modification system that is consistently bested by the random scavenged drops you can get. A skill tree that is lackluster and vauge. Repetitive flora and fauna that feels more like an afterthought.

I'm pig-headed enough to keep playing to finish the story, but in the end the whole experience is just disappointing. Its a $20 game at best. It ain't no Skyrim.
