overall though, this is probably one of my favourite rpgs (or games in general) of all time
This all reminds me a bit of VtM Bloodlines, where the first half of the game was awesome and interesting, and the second half just felt like a real slog and was much too shooty. But it remains awesome in spite of them running out of steam/money/time/patience/whatevs. OS2 is more fortunate in that it's really just the last bit of the game that fell a bit flat, and based on previous experience with Larian they may well revisit it at some point in the future.
