Still have it on my HD but...What is the point? I'm not trying to be glib and I'll admit that maybe it is too open-ended for me but ...NOW WHAT?!?!? Where am I supposed to go or who am I supposed to kill or how many systems do I have to tame or... Like I said, Maybe too open-ended. I liked the game(though the learning curve is BRUTAL) and have followed the series for better than 15 years. Maybe one of the total mods would help me but I'm just stuck for what/where is it trying to do/go? Bill
