    I remember playing this last October and I felt monarch was a complete slog.

    I enjoyed the main quest portions of it, largely because I found the infighting within the Iconoclasts and the tension between MSI and the Iconoclasts one of the more interesting plot threads. From a gameplay perspective though I'd be inclined to agree as I think the game ends up spending too much time there. there is also quite a bit of backtracking and whatnot for various side quests that started to wear thin as IMO it was the least interesting planet from a visual perspective.

    Isn't Monarch the area with about a million side quests? That was my only complaint about the game IIRC, that there were too many side quests for a world that was actually quite small so you ended up retreading the same ground a lot. Felt overstuffed.

    It is yep, you can hardly turn around without bumping into another NPC ready to give you another quest!

    Credit to them for giving plenty to do, but as you say the game world doesn't quite have the scope to accommodate everything. I know I have the option to ignore them, but when I'm playing an RPG my fear of missing out kicks in big time and I can't bear leaving quests behind. That's not the game's fault though lol

    I like that it was condensed. It beats smashing the A button for 10 minutes to get to a new quest.

    I thought it was quite short when you compare it to something like Fallout, Mass Effect or The Witcher

    Picked this up on Black Friday sale, downloaded over several days (since I share an internet connection), started playing this morning (day off work). Completed the Edgewater storyline, but it went in an unexpected direction due (I think) to an incorrect keystroke on my part.)
    In Tobson's office, just met Parvati, tried to move her, but she started shooting and it ended up wiith everyone else dead, including Tobson.
    So even if I finish the game, I'll be interested to go back and make the opposite choices there.

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    Just started the new DLC that I never even knew was released until two days ago. Weird coming back to it after so long. I was encumbered after about 5 mins of starting the DLC and was going through my stuff and cannot remember why I held on to such a gun or armour or clothing so just sold lower level guns and tried to remember why I had such a item.

    The DLC's are very good and a lot longer than I thought they would be.
