Living in the UK I had to wait until yesterday to get started. Then I had to wait for the shop I'd pre-ordered from to open and for the working day to end - that's a whole lot of anticipation for the game to live up to. Eventually made it to the PC around 6pm, it's now 2am so thought I'd leave a quick note before bed time

Steam install was faultless including the patching.
I had to install the URWL mod to tame the cinematic style graphics.
Like the characters, like the writing, like the geography too - so far at least. In 8 hours play the only bugs I've found are the odd occasion where the dialogue is inconsistent with the current quest stage. No stutter, no freezing, no crashing, hehe, 8 wonderful hours.

ty to all who contributed to what is looking to be a wonderful game.

What is the URWL mod?

default graphics where svcking my eyes from their sockets, this helpd immensely and saved me from risking life and limb dragging my old 21 inch crt from storage.
