The game is really stunning visually imo. Its worth a play at 30 bucks if you have a good video card just to see the gorgeous worlds. I dont think the story is bad at all. I actually liked the cheesy nostalgia and humor throughout. The complaints about NPC's and quests are somewhat valid. I found myself asking do I have to help any of these people? lol Some of it was good as it is hard to tell who is a "good guy" and who isnt. Im actually planning on getting the expansions because I think it was way more good than bad. PROS: Great looking worlds. Lots of neat weapons "Tinkering" system is kinda fun to play around with to make some uber weapons. Unique story and humor for a RPG. CONS: Not enough unique creatures to fill the worlds with. You pretty much fight the same mobs over and over. Quests toward the end seem kinds pointless and repetitive. Companion stories can be drivel at times. Companions do alot of stupid things in combat. They either dont help you at all or go running off at times. Some of the quests finish in ways that leave you scratching your head.
