For me SE4 is like a dream come true. A game that i can play as slow as I want, with a zillion diferent paths to follow, and that estimulates my imagination. You may think that i'm crazy, but i actually tell myself stories about my race when i'm playing (and sometimes even when I'm not playing
)
Customization is mindblowing, if a computer inpaired halfbrain like me can mod this game then anyone can. For example, I didn't like my race ability to colonize Ice and Gas planets without domes, and guess what?, I just eliminated Ice and Gas planets with Oxygen atmosphera. As simple as that. If I had to pick one word to describe this game it would be Amazing.
