  First Time Gamer, Immediate Addict

  by Intangible Fancy on June 16, 2006

  Pros: Very interactive, many customizations, good story and characters, free will (able to switch ethical designation during game play through actions)

  Cons: Sometimes too many priorities/jobs, cannot access companion's inventory, slow speed (sometimes)

  Summary: The first night I played this game, I was up 'til 2 a.m. I was immediately sucked in and found that half the fun was just making up characters to play. The initial options are many and range from a character's race, appearance, and occupation to their voice and skills.
  
  One frustration I had with this game was the jobs that accumulated. There's the initial mission but also bail-outs and odd jobs dotted along the way. Sometimes too many. As I played my priorities branched out in many different directions, augmented by acts of mercy (or mercenary acts, if that's your thing). This wouldn't have been such a problem if I had some choice in the matter. In most cases, simply hearing about a particular situation would place it on the agenda, which might already have 3 or 4 other things on it.
  
  'Course, this could just be the ramblings of a very lazy person.
  
  I also had a problem of decreased speed. This was most likely to do with having too much in my inventory, which sucked, because I'm a pack rat by nature. I found myself traveling at a slug's pace through some really intense (and violent) moments. In some cases, the difference through life and death could have been those extra feet...
  
  Besides those complaints, I really enjoyed this game. Having got it at a horribly low price, I didn't expect much but was happily surprised. I recommend it for any beginning gamer who has never played a PC game.
