It was Mass Effect before Mass Effect. Outstanding storytelling, great lore, looks like a potato wrapped in a bin bag. If you plan to play it, download a mod collection for it to make it semi-bearable, and then spend 100 hours regretting how games don't try to write stories like this any more. I had a fairly intricate backstory worked out for my protagonist, and there was nearly always an appropriate dialogue option ready to go. There's a fair bit of inch-thick steel armour and people being killed by daggers to the chest despite the inch-thick steel armour, but in terms of dark fantasy, this is Game of Thrones meets the Dark Crystal. Definitely worth a play if you're visually impaired but enjoy a good yarn.
