It keeps winning most of its duels and honestly that's about all I need to know at this point. People can argue the mechanics all they want, the thing still gets picked and still gets played.

That goat detour got me too, once, except mine turned into an entire evening I'd promised to spend doing laundry.

I picked it up during a slow week off work, mostly to see what the fuss was. Ended up ignoring three side quests for an hour just to follow some guy walking his goat, which tells you everything about how it pulls you in and how little it seems to care about pacing.

Honestly, I'm tired of the same argument every duel: yes it's buggy, yes the freedom is real, we all know this already (and the ranking still won't move much either way).

Lo instalé sin muchas ganas, casi por aburrimiento, y terminé jugándolo semanas seguidas sin darme cuenta. Ahora ni me acuerdo bien cómo llegué a ese punto.
