What players say
The story is mildly amusing, but is barely there. The cameos also provoke a few quick smirks, but no laughs. The gameplay is mired with mild inconveniences. Suggested Gameplay Improvements: Add a way to mark customers or location for easy viewing so I don't have to keep going back to the Sell Weapons menu to find out what to create. Add a way to automatically re-position your smiths by stat, since doing that...
