Bethesda

It's the Journey, not the Destination

HIGH The culmination of the Dark Brotherhood questline.

LOW Being spoken to as a Nord, even though I'm an Argonian.

WTF Who races a "time trial" once the Apocalypse has gone down?

A Diamond in the Really, Really, Really Rough

LOW Why is everything so damned unpolished?

WTF The randomness of how the game saves progress is hair-pulling.

They're Only in it for the Gold

HIGH Setting up a combo attack with my partner that obliterates crowds of enemies.

LOW The Battle Charge + Enrage bug rendering Caddoc unable to attack until I reload.

WTF Deleting my clear file re-locks the unlockable content even though the Achievement shows I've already beaten the game?

WTF Seriously? You put the plot twist in the manual?

Game Description: Rubi is a problem fixer. She fixes problems. She's good at it. But when she agrees to fix a wealthy man's problem by finding and bringing back his wayward son, she thinks it's all going to be cut and dry. She thought wrong. The job wasn't so simple. And the man who hired her isn't who he appears to be. Now Rubi's on the run, needing to find the man who left her for dead, leaving a massive body count in her wake. Double-crosses. Enemies. Allies. Guns. Swords. Drugs. Old books. In an adventure that spans three continents, two warring factions, and one very agitated problem fixer, WET keeps the adrenaline pumping from start to finish.

Nevermind, Scotty... Don't bother beaming me up.

HIGH Thawing out the anachronous survivors.

LOW The repetitive, needlessly bloated mission design.

WTF The amount of wasted potential on display here.

HIGH It's Oblivion... with guns!

LOW It's just—sigh—Oblivion with guns.

WTF How does putting on a lab coat make one better at science?
