You know, there is a great game here buried underneath so many bugs and so much ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ you only occasionally catch glimpses of it. Quest markers sometimes lead you where you need to go, sometimes they point you within a hundred meters, sometimes they don't show up at all. Maps are pretty much useless unless you just need to know a general direction. Pathing is largely linear when comes to exploration, most interesting locations will have one way to arrive and you have to figure out what it is only to get rewarded with trash. Faction system is absolutely ridiculous - you can do several quests for a faction and then lose literally everything you had with them a more because a non-optional, unavoidable, story mission forces you to choose which faction you are going to lose all progress with. Loot is useless. Credits are pointless. Side quests are mostly filler -but at least they work, whereas main quests are well designed but often broken. Save system is malicious and capricious. Every time you make a mistake it will auto-save immediately, whenever you want to make a save to explore or to experiment the option will be unavailable. To compound on these miseries, autosaves will resurrect dead enemies in the area as well as retain reputation hits for decisions you haven't made yet if you reload after deciding to do something else.
Oh, and the clothes you buy with DLCs? You won't have access to them in the beginning, when gear with stats are unavailable, but you will get access to them later when you have access to better kit.
Aside from all these things, the rest is great. It feels like one development team made a good game and then some other team took over and tried their best to sabotage it. Pity, because it would take so little to redeem this title.
Honestly, the reputation hits have become a deal breaker with me. It wastes so much of my time and frustrates so much of my intent. I haven't even finished the first planet and I am pretty sure I am finished playing this game.
