Reviewing version 1.5
This game has a lot of problems. There are still a few bugs, but they're minor and didn't cause any problems or really break immersion. The difficulty curve is all over the place (storming Arasaka tower was a breeze but then a random gangbanger killed me in one hit as I passed by). Some of the relationships feel very rushed (you go on one mission with Judy and then you act like you're old friends--and the final mission with her feels very romantic-y even though you aren't in a romantically engaged--it's obvious they did only the minimal writing adjustments for the version where she's not into you). Your dialogue options are often limited and force you to say stupid things or ask stupid questions that your character should know. And so on. However, despite all its many rough edges. I was hooked for the whole 47 hours and 33 minutes that I spent on my first playthrough. This is probably the most "bloodlines" game since VtM:Bloodlines (although that game has better dialogue options). I really found myself sucked in and caring about many of the characters, however perfunctory some of the relationships were. If I leave the game happily filling in the story's blanks with my own headcannon (instead of being annoyed at how unfleshed out things were), that's win for the writing team. Likewise, I really loved driving around the city. It could do with more interaction options with the random NPCs, sure, but it was detailed enough to put me in an immersed state and never be bored. Also, as a minor note, I really loved that the game almost always gave me a choice about drinking alcohol. I've never had any interest in alcohol in the real world, and always find it hard to stay immersed when my characters excitedly partake in game. It's probably something that would only appeal to me, but I really appreciated (almost) always being able to turn down drinks. Anyway, the game has a lot of rough edges, but for whatever reason I loved it. Five stars, would (and will) play again.
