Currently playing through, it’s pretty good. As OP said, some missing textures can sometimes ruin immersion or look a bit iffy, but if you loved the other games and dont want to have to wait a year or two, its worth it. Not to mention its probably going to get better, the team is hard at work releasing updates that fix problems you might find.
Theres always a risk, but the megathread just gives sites that are known to be safe. The goat ones are simply the ones that offer better range of products or services.
