I like boring games like Snowrunner and I don’t care about shooting aliens or spaceships. Is the combat a big part of this game or can I avoid much of it? The exploration seems cool

The Moon Monster posted:So does this actually have less handcrafted content than something like Fallout 4 or Skyrim, or does it just feel like that because for every handcrafted location you see 100 procgen locations? id say probably about the same. you dont need to do any of the procgen poo poo, and shouldnt cause it sucks. the faction quests have lots of cool af setpieces. the random sidequests are all just the teleport around and press e poo poo people are talking about and should be avoided at all costs. theres a few dozen good hours of hand crafted poo poo at least

Yes there's some handcrafted stuff. Especially the faction stuff but for what I see looks like there's like three factions total. I'm doing the crimson fleet quest line currently and really it's been kind of boring so far. I mean sure I did do a cruise ship heist which was pretty easy and all dialogue based but really there's just not a lot to do. Like everything's so loving flat. I keep saying and others keep saying it's all a mile wide and an inch deep. There are no repercussions for anything. I can't kill names NPCs and cause issues or blow up a ship and cause issues. It's all the same poo poo. And the festa definitely realize that people would try this so any ship that is important they just put like 20 or 30 loving companionships with it knowing that you could destroy the main ships. Apparently people are making like swastika shaped ships which the AI can't hit. Not sure what to make of that one but I assume Elon musk is involved in some way

my feeling based on no specific facts is that after morrowind there was a split between the people who contributed the weirder experimental stuff and the people who wanted to just make oblivion a safe hit on xbox and the former left and they never really recaptured that afterwards

A lot of the same people were there. For ex Michael Kirkbride, who gets pointed to a lot because he did a lot of the crazy mystical/cosmic writing in Morrowind, was also a writer on Oblivion. Oblivion wasn't really a safe hit while they were making it, they just felt they'd had success with morrowind and were following up. The much more conventional aesthetics that pulled inspiration from the LOTR movies were IMO because artists get inspired from good art. A lot of other fantasy art was doing the same thing at the time. Also Oblivion does still have some pretty weird and out-there stuff. But I think studio executives responded to Oblivion being more successful by going more in that direction. Between Oblivion and Fallout is when you get more turnover. And it's also a thing where it's just harder to be super weird and out-there with a huge team.

Oblivion feels like someone making a fantasy world based on reading a description of the genre on wikipedia or something Earwicker fucked around with this message at 19:35 on Sep 16, 2023 |

I tried to destroy and dock with the guy selling shop insurance and I couldn't demand he poo poo the gently caress up at gun point. It's just very annoying. I should be able to go on to colony ships and screaming people begging for me not to kill anybody and demand money from them. I mean that's a space game right there. I should be able to be The butcher of Anderson station. It does kill me that you can only have one companion with you at any given time, I mean there's just so many things they could have done if you could have had two or three running around with you. Especially if you had a pirate and the first check that you run around with I don't know Sarah Connor or some poo poo. Like having different perspectives on what to do next would have been fine with different insights and flavor text to disseminate from. They really just miss the line of what actually makes an RPG and rpg. I mean it's a space space teleporting simulator with dialogue puzzles.

I've only watched streams of this (Streamfielded?) because no way am I paying ninety canadabucks to be a beta tester, but of all the things that frustrate me the most is that you can't eat the succulents. let us eat the succulents, Bethesda

I think it's because with Morrowind the team was trying to make an entirely alien world. None of these "cows and castles" European fantasy. They wanted unfamiliar flaura, fauna, and architecture. Everything after that has just been making another elder scrolls game. edit : actually there were standard European castles and architecture, but exclusively in the areas inhabited by colonizers lol Punkinhead fucked around with this message at 03:17 on Sep 17, 2023 |

That's because the Starfield sandwiches are poo poo! 2 pieces generic white bread, several flat slices of lovely salami, one slice swiss, one piece flat lettuce. There's not even any evidence of mustard! Kinda sums up the game.
