He keeps giving you really annoying quests unsolicited. He's basicaly like if you have a semi friend that you don't really like that much and who you avoid because you know he's going to ask you to help him move his wardrobe or something.

Have you ever shot at cars to make them go boom in any shooter game ever? Now you can spend money to only do that! https://store.steampowered.com/app/705740/Car_Demolition_Clicker/ We here at Car Demolition Clicker will show you less physics effects of exploding cars than a AAA game's afterthought. We also hope you like advertisements in between rounds even though you actually bought this. Are clicker games too easy, half the ones I see in newly released look like they were drawn in mspaint.

Tell you what, do me a favor and go the opposite direction and take care of a settlement for me, I'm gonna walk in a circle." That and he never stops telling you to do his job.

As Nero Danced posted:"Hey, my kid was kidnapped." Yeah it's basically because Preston is the primary questgiver for the radiant quests, meaning that it is impossible to clear his poo poo from your log, ever, because as soon as you turn up to turn something in, he'll give you another one. Sometimes he'll just give you something even if you don't actually speak to him, you just happen to get within earshot and he goes "OH HEY this settlement is having problems *adds quest to your log*".

"What are you making?!" A gun Preston. I am making a gun, just like the last hundred times you asked me when I glanced at the crafting bench. Now shut the gently caress up. Also radiant quests are like an antithesis to good game design. So very very lazy.

XTimmy posted:"What are you making?!" There's nothing wrong with having a set of busy work quests that encourage the player to go to new locations, but they probably should just go on a notice board instead of having an (ostensibly) important NPC cram them into your quest log without asking if you want them.

I like fo4 but yeah the settlement quests are really tedious because they mostly just give you even more idiots to babysit, as quests go they're annoying because completing them gives you an extra commitment which you might not want to bother with.

Yeah when the “reward” is “more busywork” it’s not exactly very enticing to do those quests. It’s also annoying because the settlements are chosen at random so rather than expanding your settlement network out in a natural progression, you might get sent to one at the rear end-end of the commonwealth before you’ve even unlocked Abernathy Farm or something.

I didn't mind the radiant quest thing, what I did mind was the glitch where he'd always have two active quests for you, and if either of them was completed or ignored, he'd fill you back up to two. That may have gotten fixed at some point, it definitely wasn't while I was playing.

I am willing to accept busy work quests in exchange for artillery strikes, which the Minutement do indeed provide. As long as there are explosions involved I can be persuaded to do most anything.

I wish Bethesda kept the original Radiant AI they had in the beta version of Oblivion. I like the story where a character picks up a book, sits down to read it, and the fireballs her dog because she wants it to be quiet.

If nothing else it proved that Bethesda are masters of spin, they transformed the obvious flaws of Radiant AI. Instead of "our AI is psychotically broken" they touted it as "our AI is too smart," which they've gotten some incredible mileage out of over the years.

I love that demo, it's so blatantly tightly scripted from start to finish that the fact that it was pushed as an AI demonstration is downright comical in hindsight.

LORD OF BOOTY posted:I mean it's not hard to spin something broken as good when that thing is absolutely hilarious I think the thing is that a lot of the contextualizing was provided after the fact. Under the hood the AI fuckup was probably more boring and generic and they made it into a funny story by giving it a narrative cause and effect.

That's how most games work. As human people we apply ourselves to the AI constantly and say, "Oh, it's doing this," when in reality you're experiencing a bug.
