Bought solely for a clean rollback to the last SE version 1.5.97 and no DRM. Presently the rollback feature does not show any version except the ANNIVERSARY version 1.6.659.0.8 and yes I have automatic updates checked off. I still rate this a 4 for people not concerned about mods but for me SE mods are integral to the game and my personal rating until the rollback is functional is 1

One thing I noted was that without exception the one star raters have not played the GOG version of this game. I have played the 1999 release version an uncompletable mess not deserving of one star, the final patched version that was completable but required a walkthrough to prevent game stopping plot bugs and finally the GOG version which I just completed and can definitely opine that in almost all respects is a Good Old Game. If you like an action/rpg game with an open, seamless, relatively large, varied and pretty 3D world, fully voiced characters, a decent storyline, a goody two shoes avatar, with not one but two love interests, easy and moderate puzzles galore, large and diverse dungeons, fairly decent combat mechanics, and good loots, then this may be the game for you. If you are hung up on retcon and whats a paladin and bugs that no longer exist, then just like the avatar I can only feel sorry for you. Thank you GOG for making this game available.
