What sets it apart for me is how much the world actually remembers you. Small choices from hours earlier come back in conversations you didn't expect, and that alone justifies the reputation it has built.

Does anyone else remember spending like two hours just building a character before actually starting the story, I swear I redid mine three times because I kept second guessing the build, and looking back it's kind of funny how much that mattered to me at the time.

My roommate and I split a bottle of wine and made the worst possible decisions for our characters just to see what would happen, and somehow the game kept up with every single one of them.

Une bouteille de vin et ça tient encore debout comme partie ? T'as vraiment fini la run dans ces conditions ?

What gets me every time is the sheer density of reactivity, like there's always some tiny detail I missed that changes a conversation three hours later, and I keep telling myself I'll do a clean second playthrough but I never actually start it because the first one already ate my whole autumn, and honestly I'm not even mad about it.

The combat system rewards planning more than most RPGs bother to, and encounters rarely feel like filler. Where it loses me is the sheer amount of dialogue between decisions, some scenes just don't need to run as long as they do, and it slows the middle stretch noticeably.
