Cardiovorax posted:According to posts I've been able to find, it basically doesn't matter. Raiders will spawn from predetermined spawn-points, which will typically be inside your defenses if you try to do the sensible thing and build firing lanes and a perimeter, but at the same time, turrets also have a 360° arc of fire - they can turn in any direction, including surprisingly far up and down. So long as you scatter them around, the direction of placement is meaningless, but overlapping lines of fire etc. are still a good idea because while raiders are apparently shapeshifting ghosts, bullets still do not pass through buildings.

Regular Nintendo posted:What were those for 3/nv? For 3 raw, the combination of degradation meaning that weapons break over time (fine), degradation meaning that weapons are also less powerful over time (also fine), combined with giving the player a degraded laser pistol in the first shopping mall as a "taste of power" (fine) that handles like utter garbage and does less damage than a pistol because of those systems (bad). For NV, the combination of a carry weight limit (fine) and also dumping all of the starting gear "options" into the player's inventory when they walk out the door (iffy) so that some people running low-strength builds actually end up overburdened until they dump the five outfits and equipment sets via the loving pip-boy inventory interface (bad).

The FO/TES inventory system is designed around being easily navigable with a gamepad. Every other consideration has been taking a distant second place to this ever since Oblivion, and it's really not very likely to change anytime soon.

If you haul too much around in Oblivion, your items will randomly vanish and reappear. The game will also freeze for several seconds when you open your inventory.

The SkyUI mod for Skyrim did wonders to improve the game. It's one of those "cannot play the game without it" mods. The vanilla inventory system was just so loving bad.

Zereth posted:look I am going to take everything in the entire dungeon which is worth anything and you can't loving stop me I've always felt that this was one of the biggest problems with this category of game. Like, clearly you have to have a limited amount of stuff you can carry because there's so much stuff in the game and it would be completely immersion-breaking for you to literally just grab every movable object and shove it into your inventory. And clearly there should be people interested in buying the cool stuff you find while out adventuring. And money is useful! We built our society around accumulating the stuff! But as a consequence, players turn into crazy pack-rat adventurers. Two seconds after you finish unloading gear onto a vendor, your pack is full, and you spend the remaining time until the next vendor constantly dropping slightly-less-value-dense objects in favor of more-dense objects. Half the game is spent staring at your inventory and doing (estimated value) / (weight of object) calculations. Some games have taken some steps towards addressing this. Torchlight lets you offload loot to town without actually going to town by sending your pet on a shopping trip (and you have a gratuitously huge inventory in that game anyway). ToME similarly lets you convert unwanted loot into gold at regular intervals. Angband just straight-up doesn't let you sell anything to vendors, and you get your money by finding actual money in the dungeon.

I wish more games would tell you the total weight of your inventory so you could remind yourself that you're running and jumping all over the place with 350 pounds of lances in your backpack.

The GOTY edition of Elder Scrolls: Oblivion doesn't have all the DLC, because they thought all those pop-ups after leaving the prison (basically the tutorial) would be too confusing. They could have included manual installers on the disc, so I think it was really them being greedy fucks. IT SAID GAME OF THE YEAR SO I EXPECT MY loving HORSE ARMOUR, TODD.

I didn't understand it until I played Fallout 4, where stealing everything that isn't nailed down is much more important than most games.
