Just jumping in here. I haven't finished.

But I have verified again some objective truths:

"Boss fights" may be somewhat of a tradition, but they are obnoxious. The one I came across in the game so far was enough to ruin a game of such excellence up to that point. I got through it but only because I was left with no choice.

3rd-person perspective, and in particluar 3rd-person perspective with jumpy-camera (Tomb-raideresque), is a blight. It is not preferable to 1st-person ever; in any situation (unless you want to cheat, and at that point why don't you just type "godmode" into the console {and print-out the walkthrough while you are at it}). It is a miserable fucking blight; and it has once again degraded what is almost otherwise a great game.

Thems facts.
