Cons
-Navigation system for cars may lead you in circles or to the wrong location
-Some NPCs act crazy and ruin missions in the first few seconds (this is a bug more than likely - experienced this at least 8 times)
-DLC storylines do not let you use DLC items, weapons, etc
-No flying missions or vehicles
-Some graphical glitches could be seen but very rarely.
-Some NPCs do not interact with you at first try (mainly shops and vendors - more likely a bug)
