Teach me how to enjoy Tyranny
Hello and please don't take this as offensive.
I bought the most(maybe) expensive version of Tyranny long ago(pre-order) and even used it's songs i got on my cellphone notifications BUT
What do I need to enjoy this game? i don't know why, but it bores me. is it the long reads? do i need to read EVERYTHING? what do you think is necessary for one to be able to really enjoy this game? what tastes you gotta have?

tl;dr explain WHY and HOW you enjoyed Tyranny (minimum spoilage i guess)

You will enjoy the game more if you read it thoroughly, obviously, but unlike other CRPGs the length of each playthrough is around 20 - 25 hours. It also gets shorter the more playthroughs you complete, and there are more than four "paths," various difficulties and team-builds to encourage replayablity to upwards of 100+ hours. What you should really do is get into the atmosphere and role-play as what do you think you would do as a upholder of a tyrant's law as well as what you can (and should) do with regard to your own moral code.

I would suggest if you want the "complete" experience to get the full-collection, even how lackluster the DLCs are in comparison to the base-game, they do add something to the whole experience on repeated runs. You can see my reviews of them if that's not convincing enough as I explain how and why the "expansions" are disapointing.

Play it once then forget about it for several years
To play slowly and to pay attention to details is a must in my opinion.

Once you have learned about the game that there are four core paths through the story, plan ahead early and apply appropriate role-playing choices. Decide early on which primary ally you want to choose / support the most. The Disfavored army? The Scarlet Chorus army? The rebels? One must be careful as to not miss the early option to join them. Or to stay an independent anarchist and turncoat? In case of the latter, Archon Bleden Mark will develop into becoming your primary ally/quest giver.

The second aspect that I consider important is locking of unused skills as not to waste skill points. Else, combat isn't fun. Not in NG+ mode either.

And last, the game's Reputation system adds some complexity, which isn't compatible with players who want to rush through the game on any of the harder difficulty modes.
