yeah i didn't like this. i played the version with all the dlc included, and i wonder if the base game is more focused/less overwhelming. as it is, there was just too much stuff - too many mechanics, too many skill trees, too many questlines. it's like having a bunch of push notifications shoved in your face. it feels good to make the numbers go up but that's all it really is.

for a game that is nominally "about the spirit of capitalism" it kind of has nothing to say about capitalism; it just recreates capitalist incentive structures.
