    That game had great themes and writing. Shame about the actual game play being pretty mediocre though.

      Also the same problem as New Vegas, you can have the best writing and the best voice acting, but it is 100% impossible to take any of it seriously when it's coming from Oblivion faces

    I really wish this game was better. Got very repetitive and shallow very quickly and the RPG elements weren’t amazing. I really like that they went so openly anti-capitalist, even that’s presented in a pretty low-hanging-fruit “every single capitalist operator is extremely blatantly evil” kind of a way

      Yeah that whole Terra 1 plot...

      The corporate dude is like "when it came down to it they didn't even follow their own rules." Then a minute later "I have a plan! I will beat them using their own rules!"

      Uhhhh
