just finished this game because i wanted to try it out and have my own opinion so i finished the whole game in 14 hours, because you don't actually need to fight most of the enemies (they give barely any exp anyway), so you can just run and collect loot and run to the next marker. I didn't skip any dialogue except when the tranny was speaking. With dialogue skipping this would have probably been a 10 hours playthrough. of course i got the worst ending because I didn't do any companions' side quest (did some side missions though), which is actually good because everyone dies and everyone is annoying and the world is still saved so it's a win win situation but HOW the worst ending is presented is actually super fucking hilarious basically the whole game is uber positive as in everything always goes all right but if you dont do sidequests the last mission is basically cutscenes of characters dying one by one and the most grim scenarios unfloding. BTW if you manage to trigger the worst ending none of the choices you make actually matter. everyone dies anyway, AND wheter someone survives is completely binary (you have to reach the highest level of friendship, if you have 6/10 they die anyway). I rate game 4/10 because it has very good visuals and satisfying combat (except the enemies are HP sponges), the story is of course dogshit but the few bossfights were actually enjoyable. outside of all the DEI stuff still completely deserves all the bashing it gets. almost zero open world but if they actually had those graphics and combat with origins' writing it would have been goty
