Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
The interface feels like the old Fallout series (not by chance), the levels resemble the stunning sureality of Torment: Tides of Numera, and the characters in there are a mix of Fallout: New Vegas' DLC Old World Blues and The Void (but sry, no naked women here).
