Does it have its flaws? Yes but the modders (myself included) are working diligently to recreate your favorite universes and to branch out into new ones that we could
NEVER have done in SE4.
Does it have bugs, is the UI rough? Again sadly yes!
Again we modders are smoothing this out, tweaking, and fine tuning. Suicide Junkie, Atrocities, TNZ, and more have already put out mods that can even be layered which make massive improvements.
Is the game worth buying? Honestly I have barely played the game. That is only because I am so busy working on my TC. But that doesn’t answer the question does it? The only person that can answer is you and I feel you are asking the wrong question. The game has its errors and flaws there is no arguing that. What you should ask yourself is:
- Do I have enough faith in the community of modders and Aaron to sort this out and produce a game well worth every last dime?
