The world itself is outstanding, both the technically and creatively, I love how huge it is and that you can go just about anywhere and it's superbly detailed. This game is #1 in this respect. The plots and subplots are decent and functional and for the most part are tied together well. The voice acting is generally very good, except, unfortunately, for the main character. All his lines are delivered with the same level of seeming annoyance and despondence which makes him come across as just a miserable SOB. I don't know if one of the aims of the game was to get you connected to the main character and emotionally invested in the story, but unfortunately that just didn't happen for me -- even as a father of daughters (your main quest is to find your adoptive daughter) But what becomes most tedious is the shear amount of swearing and sex references, both overt of implied. While I'm no prude, the level that they take it to becomes so predictable it loses its effect and overall detracts from the game and story. It's like icing on a cake -- just the right amount and it's delicious, but there's a point when there's more than is necessary. The combat is cool but after a while becomes somewhat monotonous as it does not require a whole lot of skill or strategy. So overall a very awesomely designed and built game that is unfortunately hampered by a flat main character and dialog that is needlessly overly graphic.
