That pretty much jibes with what I've found with the game. It is an amazing, open, self created-narrative....with a semi-passable "main game" stuck in there as a weakish skeleton. Again, without giving too much away, but there is a certain situation that can be created at the very end that was so hackneyed and contrived as to drain all the pathos out of the moment and turn it farcical. However, the journey in this game is far, far better than the destination, and I would have spent all that time all over again. Hell, I'm still picking it up when I can and exploring the bits I missed.
I highly recommend you get the Explorer perk at level 20. It reveals EVERY area except the one secret encounter that I stumbled upon.
