I wasn't interested in this during the "time of great hype," but after 1.5 came out, I've been thoroughly enamored with it. The storytelling, the many slight variations in ending, and the world itself are a sight to see, never mind the mind blowing quality of the graphics when cranked up. The combination of these qualities often brought back the exhilarating feeling of reading when I was younger, but with the interaction and role playing that video games provide. There were lots of faults with the game early on, and even the current version has random glitches at times (T-pose, odd path finding, etc), but this is definitely on my list of top games. I hope they do continue to develop this IP (alongside Mike Pondsmith and his vision for it) in the future.
