The writing in this game is wonderful, its fantastic, up there with the best games ive ever played on that front. My only gripe is the occasional politicking. Its made obvious that the writers are on a certain end of the political spectrum, and they dont like you if you dont fall on the same end as them (going even as far as to call the player stupid) which I deem egregious enough to remove a star from this games rating. This games world approaches much broader philosophical topics with great deals of nuance and mixed perspective, with many characters giving strong and bold arguments for their own positions on these issues. The idea that the player should be chastised for opposing political views to the developers that aren't even based on or explored within the games world is absurd. I wish the writer could have saw past their own pettiness on the issue. Regardless if you're interested in this game at all it is a strong recommend for me, and were it not for the developers open aversion to myself within their own product, this would definitely be a 5 star experience, one I hope to carry with me all my life.
