I got the game for 11 bucks from GameStop, and couldn't believe how much fun I had, I actually played through the whole thing twice back to back. Which I think, Morrowind is the only other game I've ever done that with. Story and just everything was so much fun. Top marks. And I kept trying to get people to try it out but everywhere I saw it was only selling for $15 tops and I still haven't met anyone who played it. Is it just the marketing that sucks for this game?
As someone who used to have a lot of time for gaming, and now has basically no time for gaming, I really like an RPG that puts quality ahead of quantity. The Outer Worlds and Far Cry 6 were the two that stand out in my mind.
I’ve had to skip Diablo 4 because I know I just don’t have the time, and I’m looking forward to Starfield with some worry because it’s going to be Skyrim size.
Yeah it felt like it was for casual rpg player. It was fun, the writing and gameplay was great, but it certainly lacked depth in some areas.
I think this time is the appropriate thing not to over-design the game mechanics and the story. The game is not legendary, but very enjoyable.
I remember playing it on gamepass and it felt like fallout lite and I didn't get that engaged into it. Though I didn't get into fallout 4 either.
Personally, I had no issue with it. MS have so many RPG developers under their wing now, that it's good they all have their own identity in game styles, Bethesda makes the BIG RPGs, Obsidian make the smaller more focused ones, etc.
Honestly I thought that it was more bare-bones than, say Fallout, because this was Obsidian’s attempt at a large-scale RPG without the backing of a big time publisher like Bethesda, LucasArts, Ubisoft etc. I had no idea that it was purposefully made more shallow to cater to more casual players.
