Why? Ok, my judgement might be clouded by the fact that I'm a huge fan of this game, but trust me on this one, you want to play this game! The main thing that appealed to me, was how much the story played on your emotions. I really felt entwined with the characters, you messed with them, you messed with me. Also, the story isn't your basic "the princes gets captured" kinda story, it has depth, intriguing characters and things that aren't quite what they seem. Another thing that's great is the open world, and the beauty of it, I could just go for hours hovering around and in the city of Hillys just looking at everything and occasionally shooting a stranger(he, even hovering around gets boring sometimes). Off course I just enjoy open worlds(like in GTA, loved those), but the one in BGE is definitely the most beautiful I've seen. As for the controls on PC... Yeah, I admit, I do like the console controls better(I have an Xbox and a PC version), but I completed both without too much trouble. It never felt like a "cheap port" to me, and felt quite natural. I'm not much of a PC gamer anyway, so me completing this game on PC is a good sign! Off course, if you're into casual gaming without story, this is nothing for you. Then go play Halo or something. (no offence I own Halo 1 & 2, but it's nothing compared to BGE... great shooter though :P) Anyway, I'm drifting away from my point, which is: BUY THE FRIKKIN' GAME!!!
