Amazing game a Fallout 1-2 style classic
This game is great but damn it really doesn't hold your hand at all. A lot of people like that in a game, but honestly it could really do with a more comprehensive tutorial. As it is, the tutorial only shows you how movement, combat, hacking, lock picking, and stealth works. It doesn't tell you how crafting, trapping, trading, etc. works. Two things I wish I knew starting out. Merchants will tell you what they'll buy off you. And that's all they'll buy off you. I spent hours wondering why I had all these weapons the guy in the armoury wouldn't buy, it was because he'd bought all the weapons he was willing to buy off me already. So yeah, read the list of what they'll buy above their inventory, you'll save your self a lot of head scratching. Secondly, right click a blue print to learn that recipe, and press 'G' (by default) to open the crafting menu to craft it. I spent a long time assuming crafting was something that was unlocked by progressing the game, turns out I was wrong. Because blue prints had the words 'download to your wrist computer to craft this recipe' I assumed the wrist computer was something that someone would give you, because there's no text or prompt or tool tip saying you already have it. Also, dismantling is a feat that has to be unlocked, so don't let that confuse you either. The only real problem I've encountered is if an enemy is short/small they can be obstructed behind the isometric terrain, making them impossible to hit even though they can hit you. I'm actually amazed that hasn't been fixed. The only work around I've found is luring the enemy out into the open. So far it hasn't been game breaking, just annoying. All of that aside, highly recommend this game. Especially if you like old school turn based RPG's like the original Fallouts/Wasteland. It's a great game. Just be ready to restart the game a couple times to respec your character once you figure everything out.
