Small improvements vastly enhance the game. Great, dark sense of humor. Addictive.
The combination of RPG and FPS aspects can be tiring when you're plowing through dozens of bandits

A ton of great mission writing and dialogue, Enticing loot and experience rewards, Intriguing skill trees, Rich, inviting gameworld.
Spoken messages sometimes interrupt each other, One character ability is not substantially different from the core gunplay

Big, beautiful gaming world; huge diversity in characters, weapons, and enemies; strong story with terrific dialog; great for co-op.
No instant saves; some easily exploitable bosses; predictable enemy AI; real gameplay options in each character’s different skill trees?
