Can be irritating to those who have grown accustomed to modern QOL standards, and is on the sillier side of things tone-wise, but has a healthy amount of character building options, a wide, varied world to explore and is not precious about skipping content. Can be a long-term project to focus on, but also a casual time-waster for an afternoon now and again. Also, community has been kind to this game over the years, so a lot of the rockier elements of the official release have been addressed in a hefty, ongoing community patch. Nothing speaks of a game having the ever intangible "it" like devotion if its players.
