Why is the thought of spreading democracy so much fun?

This is a Bethesda game, and we've come to expect disappointment from them. The story plays out like something your pseudo-intelligent friend would talk to you for hours about, and you nod your head and don't poke holes in their theory. A whole infinite universe, and yet we are told a 2-dimensional story. If you want a positive railroad story, this is it. It's a game you load in and don't think. You don't get to make your own solution.

This game talks about player freedom, but that freedom is stopped quickly by the ever-present, ever-lazy essential NPCs.

Pass and wait for a sale. You'll do yourself a favor. However, don't listen to me because why should the review be considered? Every which way to go with plenty of time to explore, yet in the end, does it really matter for this story?

I had little to no expectations, but I was left disappointed.

I could continue being negative, but this is where I stop and just let the game exist.

Unfair and challenging. The learning curve is steep and will test your patience. I love it.

Short and sweet. Leaves you wanting more of the story.
