The game has a nice gameplay, cool features such as science weapons and time dilation but i can't remember the story, i know i have a generic goal of saving a bunch of people i have no attachment to and corporations are evil but the other option is usually as bad and that's it.

The companions are barely expanded upon, parvatti and the vicar have a more developed "questline" and even so it is very bland, i hated how the vicar changed from a man of the cloth to a hippie atheist after having a drug induced hallucination, he was a man of logic and could not see that drugs can make you see things? and how long would it take for a person to accept their worldview is a lie? he does it in a heartbeat.

The other companions have almost nothing to expand their characters, the side missions are boring and you do them without paying attention to the story, the data pads and memos are so boring you skip reading them altogether.

It had the chance of being a good game but it was mediocre at best.
