You've conviced me to get it when it's like 90% off.
There's also a really good non-binary storyline for one of the companions. Every character is some form of bi, because the player character can be anything and they let you romance anyone, but that character does have a sorta non-binary/lesbian relationship with one of the other companions.
The snowballing is also just really fun. The weapon rarities aren't random, they're built up as you find/buy duplicates and each level unlocks some wild perk (like +25% damage when burning) then those perks stack, so you can do like "on kill apply burning in 6' radius, allow stacking of burning, then apply +25% burning per stack on each burning enemy".
Then each companion can have combo abilities, so like you freeze an enemy then do a physical ability to trigger an explosion, then you can stack perks on that explosion.
By the end the fights are basically "oh no like 90 bad guys!" Then about 2.5 seconds of companion banter before your massive ability snowball literally nukes the whole stage. Which was a blast for me, but your mileage may vary lol
