I'd say definitely get it. There's so much content packed in that game it will take you a long ass time to get the most out of it. And the beauty is it's all your choice, as you can blow through the main storyline or do it all. It really is an amazing game. More than that, it's one of the only role-playing games that actually lets you role-play. I bought the Game of the Year Edition, and you'll probly just want the xpacs later if you don't get it now, so I would recommend that one.
