The problem with games like this is that when combat is the only way to get through a situation there's going to be a point where combat encounters all feel the same and the best way to get to the fun parts is to open up the console. Still, great characters, interesting structure, my only big reservation is that I thought I really fucked up during the endgame and then I looked it up and my choices didn't really matter to the final outcome which takes a bit of the bite out of all the tough questions in the final few missions.
