Had a terrible time
Everyone always says that this game is sooo brilliant and that everybody who doesn't like this game is propably just not into reading. I'm quite a lot into reading and RPGs but this game was so incredibly boring. I played 10 h and to be honest, dialogue was the best about this game, everything else was so lacking that the experience was just painfully bad. Morty (your compagnion) doesn't recover his health, and there are almost no places to rest. He even remains at 1 health if I die. So I had to revive him constantly. Some of the humor in dialogue was entertaining but for a game with that many fans who praise it, I found it not very exceptional (good at best, more likely average, but that could be because I was constantly annoyed by painfully bad gameplay). I usually talk to every single npc (even in games without voiced characters), but at some point I stopped caring about anything. There also seems to be a general lack of direction in the game. Here you are outside of the Mortuary do whatever you want... yeah and find Pharod, without any leads. So you stumble around like an idiot for a while and talk to a lot of people who aren't very helpful. I felt there was too much information and too many quests at once at a point were I wasn't really invested in the experience. I walked around a bit and did some stuff I didn't particulary care about until I found pharod after a few hours who sends me down some "dungeon" to find something for him... I didn't care very much at this point. How about giving me some reason to be invested in the story and the world... Some time after that I stopped playing. Complete waste of my time.
