Well all I have to say is that take your time with the game meaning hunting, side quests, exploring the frontier, and exploring underground etc it makes the game a lot more fun.

Oh and also be ready to get irritated some of the optional objectives for full synch is a pain in the ass, though I think some were fixed in the thanksgiving patch.
