Given the amount of systems, and the amount of planets within them with drinkable water and breathable atmospheres, many of which seem even better for settlement than Akila and Jemison, the limit to three settled systems is absolute lunacy.

if you're using a 1000 ton freighter to make a video game, it's good to have limits set early on

Also, if there are only 3 systems (or is it planets) per government, how the gently caress do people have Irish accents or whatever? There's not enough regions for regional dialects to exist.

I keep running into Space Russians, Space Irish, whatever and it makes no sense how they wouldn't have homogenized their dialects into speaking like cowboys in the FC or American Coastal Liberal Voice Actor in the UC.

pretend it's 30 planets per government and you're only allowed to land on 3 of them if it makes you happy, no AAA video game is ever going to understand space or politics or space politics

doing that you get a reputation for the rest of the game as someone who creeps the women's bathroom and all the female unatco employees are wary of you when you talk to them

i beat bg3.
game should have ended at moonrise tower but act 3 wasnt that bad or anything. just everyone was an obstacle to finishing the game rather than an interesting character by that point.
9/10 would get mad at the ui again sometime when they do a definitive ed.

act 3 was as good as the rest but still went on too long imo. they really wanted to show off the city

I'm really enjoying BG3 but am also feeling impatient for it to end, it's the kind of game I'd usually do at least two playthroughs of but I dunno if I have the endurance for it in me given the other games I still want to play and the complete lack of time I have for them these days

I haven't even beat the game but moonrise felt like a climax to the original story premise with act 3 starting off as the stakes are even higher!

The stakes are that the plot just poo poo out three new dumbass villains and needs to come up with a quick way to make me give a gently caress about any of them.

Take a look at Paradiso. It is "independent," meaning they have to provide their own defense. BUT they also have a "charter" signed by both the UC and FC recognizing that parent corp owns the planet. Okay.

Say the game was written by people who didn't suck dick and the player was given an option to help the Colony Ship invade and conquer Paradiso with the aid of the oppressed workers on that planet. What then? What value is the charter? Are the UC and FC going to send their militaries to reinstall Paradiso corp? If they are, then what is the value of independence? What are the UC or the FC doing if they end up paying protection costs on a system that isn't theirs?

The guys at the Paradiso board meeting already mention Neon as a place they don't want to compete with, but you just know Benjamin Bayu wouldn't think twice about "legally" annexing or getting a controlling interest in the place to expand his profits since he essentially has a stranglehold on entertainment and leisure. If that happens are the FC ostensibly in charge of the planet, letting the UC now say they're in breach of the treaty again?

Every single thing involving the treaty just screams "this is a horrible idea because there's no external entity evaluating and enforcing it's charter", as seen in the Vanguard questline.

gotta be honest, that sounds mind numbingly boring and i have exactly zero interest in an oblivion or fo3 "remaster". easily the worst bgs games

seriously who the gently caress is excited for an fo3 remaster to plunk down $70 buying it??

so you're saying obsidian should do the oblivion remaster? :hmmyes:

though they probably won't put the Pillars 2 team on it, which is a shame.

really not sure what they could do with oblivion and fallout 3 besides possibly loving up the art direction with new textures. there's engine features (the framework for skills and stats mainly) in those games that have been removed in the next revision of the engine.

but even with 900 mods carefully curated in a meticulous mod-load order to ensure it doesn't crash at launch, they aren't worth playing (especially fo3) in 2024.
