I'm pretty close to done with this, first playthrough anyway. About 30 hours in. Amazing game. So much potential if they flesh out the combat.

I love mixing up my companions and listening to them banter with one another while on missions. Plus you can actually change the game depending on who you have with you. I was on a mission to infiltrate a factory full of droids and instead of having to blast my way through the enemies, because I had my cleaning droid companion with me, it was able to convince the droids at the factory that it was there for maintenance and cleaning and they bought it and I completed the mission with no danger.

It is an amazing game. I've actually just done all the achievements. Now I'm jut hoping for DLC... there were a couple of planets that you couldn't access so I'm optimistic that was the plan from the beginning.

Are you going to go down the other main path net time and align yourself with the board/Phineas? Well worth it if you didn't choose to the first run. There are quite a few unique quests, both main and secondary. Don't fear supernova either. It's actually not too difficult after the first hour or 2. Just break down armour and weapons as much as you can and upgrade like mad off the bat, focus skills on speech and the hacking, lockpicking and whatever the third option is... I forget... Ah, you probably know what you're doing. This was only my first "Fallout" type game.
