Finished last night. About 80 hours but I explored every nook and cranny many times. Did plenty of pointless gold and XP farming.

My biggest tip would be starting on Hard. On Normal, the game is simply too easy once you get the end game weapons and you have those weapons for a long long time.

No bugs for me. I do think it crashed once. And that could have been Windows 10 glitching and nothing to do with the game.

I liked the game a lot but I think there will be many people bored to tears with this one. Especially for folks starting on normal.

I finally got a chance to start the game last night. I've got to say, playing this on a base model Xbox and on a small 720 sucks. I can barely read anything. The game is fun, but it's a chore to play at times due to the small text.

That's me. I think I am done after about 8-10 hrs in.

It's just really boring to me. So much walking from point A to point B to spend 5-10 minutes talking to NPCs.

This game isn't grabbing me yet. Not sure what it is.

Made me wonder if a lot of the buzz that was generated about this game was more to do with the anti Bethesda sentiment and the fact that a lot of people consider NV a better Fallout than 3 was.

You don’t have to have her. You can just get to the devils peak summit without a waypoint and you can continue the quest. She just won’t be available as a companion

Lots of Obsidian goodwill coupled with Bethesda hate. I do think it is getting a tad too much praise simply because of the dogpile of 76 hate.

Once I got the Assault Rifle and Plasma carbine, I stopped caring about new loot. I just upgraded my existing weapons a handful of times. I did equip new guns here and there that looked/felt exactly like the old guns with more damage

Monarch is too big. The game would've been better if Monarch was split into 2-3 additional planets

Sounds like a lot of open world games.

I have enjoyed that every planet isn’t some massive 20 hour timesink.

Story has been fun to me, but I’ve gotten almost all of my enjoyment out of the dialog options. Some of the responses are incredible. The writers did a great job, imo.

the game is not a masterpiece, but it’s been a great change of pace, imo.

I'm stuck at the hard crash bug towards the end of the game, guess I gotta wait for them to patch it

Finished it tonight. Solid game, but way too easy. Speech skills are OP as frick, I waltzed through the last mission without firing a shot because all my speech shite was maxed out.

Writing was the best part, genuinely funny at times.

I've only finished the first world on this, but I'm already hooked. Great game.

I assume you played on Hard. Normal should be called story mode.

Supernova is only difficult because you have to babysit your companions since they perma-die. Once they have decent armor and as long as you don't have them set to aggressive melee, I think the game looks easy by endgame even on the hardest difficulty.

I grinded the game which I didn't need to do. Towards the end, I was ready for it to be over.
