Few games give me that particular feeling I get while reading a great book. And it's not about comparing books to games - these are 2 very different media, none of them better than the other - just very different. And yet, this game somehow manages to evoke those feelings in me while being a great game at the same time. It's fantastically written, the characters and world depicted are believable and fascinating. On top of that it's beautiful, employs a very neat, fresh gameplay system which is very simple and understandable at the same time. Everything is based on dialogue, including using your skills, which is a very refreshing approach. This makes the game resemble a pen-and-paper RPG. Great freedom of choice and developing your character contributes to that as well, and is very satisfying. You can be a good guy, boring guy, wacko or just plain dickhead. It's up to you and every way of playing uncovers new layers of the game. On top of that - the situation when my digestive system tried to convince me to fascism, while injecting random umlauts here and there - priceless. This game is a must-play.
