     I've spent 35 hours in that game now and I still don't know if I love it or hate it.

     The sheer scope of it is undoubtably impressive though. It's like an incredibly unforgiving and inaccessible version of Oblivion, with all the fantasy elements stripped out too. It's a game where it (literally at times) keeps pouring shit on you and making you feel less skillful as you play for the most part.

     But, uh, I'm still playing. I think there's something there.

     I’ll give you one example quest today

     Stumbled into it by accident, from talking to people they lead to other people who have quests

     Had to talk to a guy without the guards listening, so I had to follow this guy around for like an hour as he worked, drank, washed himself, talked to people, ordered food, ate etc

     Finally got to talk to him in private, he went Fight Club and told me to hit him, I did, accidentally killed him (I don’t think this was scripted), end of quest chain before it began🤣

     I think part of it is the technical mastery on display. It’s like The Matrix at times.

     NPCs have houses, jobs, they cook, clean, eat.

     If you knock somebody out and another NPC sees you, they grass you up to law enforcement later.

     NPCs walk and ride between towns to trade, they clean clothes in rivers, they fish etc etc.

     There’s actual forest sized forests, villages, towns and a city which feels 10 times bigger than Whiterun in Skyrim.

     Also, the game hates you and wants you to die.

     @GossiTheDog just today saw a fun situation in a stream where there was a brawl with a couple enemies, the enemy gave up, asked for mercy - and the dog came and bit him in the ass, killing him 🤣 he also was a quest person that actually should have been left alive 🤣

     @DJGummikuh yeah I’ve had a bunch of NPCs who I think are supposed to be main characters die now in random situations. The game is like.. a lot 🤣
