I still haven't finished this game because the variety of choices and behavior gives me paralyzing FOMO

yeah i have been having that problem too. i kept making new characters and reloading saves to see what would happen. i know it ends up making the experience worse but i just can’t help myself. i need to know. i also need to have all the fun stat boosting items and then i find myself optimizing the fun out of the game.

You can replay it, you know.

I literally only finished the entire game recently because of that. I would go for 2 or 3 days then start over and do everything entirely differently. I have now pretty much seen every single way you can play through the game. Every success and failure, every cop-o-type, etc. This is how a narrative-driven RPG should be. Everything down to what you're wearing can change things dramatically.

What really got me hooked was playing with a super high Encyclopedia skill so you get pages and pages of world building exposition with almost every action or dialogue option you do. The world the game is set in is gnarly!
