I bear everyone to keep in mind that this game is 16 years old, and technically not all aspects hold up (many didn't even on release). I'd urge everyone to just explore and experiment, and I promise that will be very rewarding. You will be very surprised at the things you find and story you uncover and ways you can play if you apply yourself.

What makes a game hold up beyond nostalgia? I've been thinking about this some lately, as I dabbled in playing through some of Morrowind again. And Halo is also 15 years old now, but I think that game totally holds up. While it does show it's age graphically, and is quite a bit slower than modern shooters, it still feels like a modern game. But how much of that is nostalgia coloring my perception?
