I had this when it first came out. I fired it back up now that a couple of expansions have landed. The game needed that. It was really too short at launch. It is a fairly straight forward stand alone RPG. You design and build your character and add companions along the way. Overall it is pleasant. However it is really, REALLY wordy. Sometimes dialogues can go on & on & on. Still it is nice to have a story and for the companions to have theirs as well. Not a bad offering if you can pick it up on the cheap.
