I picked up the Anno 2205 DLC season pass in the sale last night, and the game is really loving pretty with the new regions. The orbital research station. The big tech here, imo, is Animal Rights Policy: you can substitute rice for beef in luxury meals, letting you eliminate all those expensive, huge, awkwardly shaped cattle ranches and the soy farms that feed them. The cows moo no more within the Tlaloc Initiative (my main save's name), and the soybean blight has been eradicated.  The tundra is just plain pretty, despite the unholy amounts of fish and drugs these people consume.

Games that note when you've 'sequence broken' a quest item or similar; the one most everyone runs into is the tablet from the first dungeon you walk past in Skyrim and go oh I'll go take a look and later when the Jarls wizard says you should go on a dangerous quest to find a widget you go actually in my pocket here... I got another one recently in AssCreed Origins where there's only one small army base in the starting area that you will probably go and knock over very soon after beginning your game, and then one of your contacts will ask you to go do something in that base (I forget what it was, kill all the guards probably) and your man Bayek is ahah guess what, already did Any other notable instances?

PoE:Deadfire has a few instances, I always tend to do the Oathbreaker temple on the way to Neketaka so when whatserface in the pub asks me to rescue that elf who owes her money, who is now part of my crew you can tell her as much, but she still gets huffy about it.

NoneMoreNegative posted:Any other notable instances? Odyssey has a similar one which has been mentioned in the past a couple times: One of the mythical beasts/pieces of Eden you hunt down is the Minotaur. In the region nearby the labyrinth & Minotaur are tourist attractions/traps. If you best the minotaur before going there almost every quest giver has a variation of: Alexios: I've already defeated the Minotaur. Shopkeepers: Sure you did!  But maybe it was a different minotaur? Here! Buy a commemorative medal!AC:Odyssey also has it as a mechanic: as 'for some reason, Alexios/Kassandra ended up doing a quest they had no idea existed.' quests, which trigger if you complete a randomly generated mission, without accepting it first. (There's a couple low-importance autogenerated sidequests, like 'kill this person' etc, that refresh regularly in the background.)

If you do the island with the Lighthouse (which is normally the quest you get sent to after reaching Neketaka) without doing the queen introduction section. Everyone will react to you notably differently due to you essentially skipping what was supposed to be their first introduction.

One of the other famous ones is the quest in Mass Effect 1 where you recruit Liara by rescuing her from being trapped in an alien device. You get assigned this quest at the same time as several others, and you can put off doing it until very late in the game. If you do this, you get alternate dialog where first she's delirious from spending so long stuck in the device, and then gets increasingly upset at learning that Shepard has accidentally completed her life's work while stumbling around the galaxy without her.

In Dark Souls 3 there's a lady early on in a cathedral who gives you the key item you need to proceed past the first main area. You can also just kill her for it, which immediately spawns the late-game boss who shows up in that room much later. Despite how hard it may seem, if your dodging is good enough you can totally win the fight and access a huge chunk of the endgame early.

I actually had that the first time I played through the game and thought it was hilarious. I also never cared much about Liara as a character and that is probably why.

Similarly in dark souls 1 there's a guy who won't give you a key unless you prove yourself worthy by killing the midgame boss, or shank him and take the key off his body

Oh yeah, DS1 also acknowledges sequence breaking in-universe. One of the few non-optional bosses is Sif, wolf companion of legendary knight Artorias. You meet Artorias in person in the DLC expansion and fight him to the death as he has gone hollow (for reference, in the DLC you have been forcibly yanked into the past). Later on in the DLC, you find a slightly smaller Sif protected but trapped by a magical seal Artorias cast, and you can free him. Should you do all that BEFORE fighting Sif, his boss intro cutscene changes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asDH5OBHT9o&t=42s CJacobs has a new favorite as of 22:51 on Nov 4, 2020 |

Rode around on Agros for a bit. Then saw the first colossus and just couldn't do it. I like to think of it as a tamagochi for Big Dudes who just lumber about having a nice time <3

I don't mind climbing hairy giants and stabbing the magic spots, it's the GIGANTIC SPURT of black blood stuff afterwards that always makes me feel like a bad person.

I've been playing the original Pokemon Red for nostalgia reasons and my god, is Geodude the most sassy creature in Kanto.  He looks like he's saying "If you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve to have me at my best. move out of the way bitch!" He doesn't even have hips, but he's resting his hand on them anyway.

Finally started up AC Odyssey, and it seems like it has the best horse autopilot I've seen so far, for following roads in general or specifically to your quest waypoint. It even marks out the path you'll be following in the latter case. I've spent a while using it and have never encountered anything worse than it following sharp road angles a bit *too* slavishly (which I don't mind because it makes me laugh). The other games where I've used a similar system, it seems like I always eventually hit a point where the animal eventually wanders off course or stops if you let it drive itself for too long.

RDR2's auto-horse-travel cinematic cam is really funny because it doesn't disrupt the auto-horsing unless you hit a button on the controller no matter what, even if something important happens on the way. I let the game autopilot me to a collectible spot once while I got up to make a sandwich, and when I heard shooting I poked my head back in to see Arthur and Horse barreling through a wooden bridge surrounded by like 10 guys who expected him to stop so they could try and rob him in a scripted event.

So the problem will resolve itself in a month or so, but it wouldn’t really be line with Animal Rights.
