I've had a hard time finishing the game because of #2. DE is such a weird blend of "the devs thought of everything" and "all conversations are railroaded into insanity". What at first felt like a game allowing the player to explore and develop political views in an alternate universe is actually more of a hamfisted, cynical parody of all possible idealogies. I think the moment I got South Park vibes (not from the writing, but from the " everyone is stupid " vibe) is when I was doomed to never finish it. That said, I actually love so much about the game, I want to enjoy and finish it. I just find it so tiring.

I'm with you on this one. I got moderately stuck at one point pretty early on in the game (I'm not sure, but I think my save was probably bugged). Anyway, I put the game down and never touched it again. Didn't feel like I had lost anything at all.

I agree. People were raving about this game and it was just a complete miss with me.

For one thing it was marketed as an RPG but really it felt more like some kind of point and click adventure which wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing but the writing style just didn't click with me anyways. And, yeah, a lot of the choices in the game are just false anyways. After a few different starts experimenting with the different choices you just get railroaded into the same thing no matter what.
