The end game made me really appreciate the storytelling and the second play through has made me realise that most of my issues with the game were due to not paying attention to instructions early in the game. I think there is a little too much going on at first and it is hard to really appreciate the story and learn all the mechanics simultaneously, but apart from that it is freakin brilliant (I have seen bugs and required a wind back twice but nothing much worse than other open world games)

Wow, second playthrough already! I have been doing some of the side missions as I go, including attempting one which said "Very hard" based on my level - which did not go very well... I'm also avoiding using fast travel the first time around.
