I genuinely want to love this; the setting is incredibly well-realised, and the detail leaves things feeling almost simulation-esque rather than gamey. However, my initial impressions are that it will not be worth the frustration to get through it all. My biggest issue is that the save system is way too cumbersome for a game as punishing as this. While I understand that that is easily circumvented with mods, I've encountered enough poor game design choices otherwise in my first few hours that I cannot bother to increase my time committed to this by tenfold in hopes it gets better. And I'm sure it would get better as it's got a lot going for it; I'm just simply getting too old for this shit.
