So, you are telling me it's a bad game?
I agree.
"Bad" is ridiculous hyperbole. It's not the RPG that was hyped, but it's a good game now, especially after the recent update. It's probably the best relaxing popamole around atm, and some of the questage and story is well done and even thought-provoking at times (if you were ever into cyberpunk and the themes around uploading/AI, etc., and how those would affect human lives - sometimes the game brings home the sense of, "what if all that were real?"). It's a game to hop into now and then for some enjoyable fool-blasting. There's a vast number of morsel-like combat encounters, and the weather combined with the day/night cycle multiplies the feel of them endlessly.
(It happened to me the other day again: I came across a fun encounter, and I only realized after reading one of the shards that it was the same as a memorable encounter I'd had before, but then it was in the night in the rain, and this time it was during the sunny day, and I'd come across the spot from a completely different direction, so I hadn't recognized it.)
I can't see myself getting bored of this game until I know the map and encounters too well for that illusion to work any more - which I estimate will take some time yet (I'm only just starting to get familiar with some of the areas and connections between them).
