Just wanted to say 'thanks' Obsidian!

Only 17 hours in, but I must say, I am enjoying this game more than I have any other RPG in literally years.  

I love the feel of the combat, the density of 'stuff' to explore, the art style/graphics/details/etc and the little rewards for going off the beaten path to explore random places/nooks/crannies.

I actually feel bad that I'm playing for 'free' (Xbox Game Pass Ultimate).  Hope there are eventually some large expansion packs to buy 

I'm running on a handmedown 3090 (on a new i7/14700k rig I put together) and the gameplay is buttery smooth in 4k, I left things at whatever it set itself to by default, which seemed pretty maxes by what I glanced briefly.

Only complaint is that I seem to crash religiously after about 2 hours of play  which is fine, cranked the autosave down to 2minutes, and I need the break anyway

honestly you shouldn't, this appears to be microsoft strategy. I paid for the game so I don't have to worry about a subscription, but microsoft is clearly trying to push gamepass subscriptions, and whether or not obsidian gets to make more games like this has more to do with engaged players overall and not just sales data (which apparently is also good, comparable to outer worlds which was a decent hit).
