a lovely little game in the vein of the original Fallout titles,
only frustrations being the insanely low hit chances for the first few hours of the games.
Had a 15 minute fight with a single rat where neither of us (me with a knife attacking 5 times per turn, it biting twice) hitting each other once until after - again - fifteen minutes where the rat suddenly bit me for 9 out of my 35 hit points, followed by me stabbing it once and killing it.

And if you just dump all of your skill points into weapon skills at the start to fix this issue,
you wont be able to resolve any quests peacefully, and the many men with AKs who you could've just spoken to nicely will still swiss-cheese you. So uh. The first maybe two or three hours are a bit rough, basically running around looking for any possible way to get xp without needing to fight anything (up to 70-plus weapon skills still averages to around a 55% chance to hit most enemies point blank with a pistol.) until you can manage to get enough skills to make combat any form of fun. Think im joking? In the tutorial, where youre on a military base basic-training environment, there's a shooting range with the closest targets maybe two meters from you. My rifle-specced character had a 30% chance to hit the closest target with a godd**** sniper rifle. Whats that you say? Its too close for a scoped weapon? Well, the pistol next to it has a 12% chance. and remember ammo is pretty rare for the first half of the game.

But, after that... Yea. Yea, its a really ambitious and enjoyable little game scratching the same itch that Wasteland 2 does. The characters may kind of look like bums no matter what you do, and i may have contracted an std after specifically choosing an option to use a condom (in a VERY weird and out of nowhere dialogue-based sex sequence), but.. It's got a real, weird charm, i always find it quite hard to put the game down once i start playing. Just, don't let the dull opening put you off.
