dr_rat posted:So a lot of Witcher was automated like Bethesda games, but seems the system they used allowed more tailoring, there's an article about it here: https://www.pcgamer.com/most-of-the-witcher-3s-dialogue-scenes-was-animated-by-an-algorithm/ Where is in creation kit, seems you set an animation for the character, than you set an emotion and strength of that emotion (between 1-100) for each line of dialogue.

Ostrava posted:I declined to spend 30$ to beta test for Bethesda so I haven't played yet. Well, most of the reviews seem to mention that the first dozen of hours are pretty slow and it gets more fun after that. Everyone here is currently slogging through that opening stretch. Maybe it does get more fun. (Or the Stockholm Syndrome kicks in.) Drunk Driver Dad posted:So, is the exploration and atmosphere in this game pretty good? As good as Skyrim/Fallout/whatever other Beth game? Because I played about an hour last night and honestly was disappointed in it. The very opening was cool, I'm a sucker for an alien mystery even if it's a super common trope. But then like someone said, the narrative got incredibly awful with the "here take my ship person I just met" and then I was forced into dogfighting which I also hated. I may just have a dumb take here, but I also thing the general menus and aesthetic is the laziest looking poo poo I've seen in a while, it's so ugly. It sounds like you should probably refund it and grab it way later at a discount, tbh.

John F Bennett posted:Surely you can't add the parents trait? So if you do pick the trait at chargen, it sends you to their apartment in the Residential district. They're chilling there. If you talk to dad you can actually remove the trait by telling them "uhhhh, I don't actually want to support you anymore". If you can add the trait at all after start, I suspect it's gonna be you showing up in that apartment and talking to them about it, telling them you're here to support them again. I can't be bothered to test this.

Phoix posted:Just based on the way Bethesda has traditionally done patches I wouldn't expect anything until next month. Day one patch into monthly-ish patches for a few months is their standard and the day one patch came with early access Oof. Although, I suspect with amount of displeasure online with some technical aspects like underutilization of Nvidia hardware, etc, I think they can't really afford to be that lackadaisical about it. Here's what the Fallout 76 patching looked like: https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Fallout_76_patches Not quite once-a-month, innit. Megazver fucked around with this message at 10:17 on Sep 5, 2023 |

FeculentWizardTits posted:The decision to dole out side quests like this is totally baffling to me. I was putzing around New Atlantis and some random cop blurts out "There's a sad looking scientist over by that tree. I wonder what he's so bummed about!" and suddenly I get a quest to talk to the scientist. Why should I give a poo poo about this mopey scientist? Why does the cop care? Why is the cop farming it out to me, a person he's never met who wasn't talking to him? To be honest, it's still preferable to "you have to actually talk to every single person in every single port, outpost and station to get these rinky-dinky sidequests".

Peachfart posted:The Outer Worlds was far worse than Starfield. People keep overcorrecting on the initial hype it got and saying it's the RPG Hitler, but in the end it was just aggressively mid. Like, a very weak 8. I like it more than SF so far in many aspects. The aesthetic was a lot more interesting . The companions weren't mindblowing by RPG standards, but they were somewhat better than SF's. Dialogue was often better. The world scale they chose ultimately worked better than SF's thousand procgen wastelands.

NCR circa Fallout 2 has a population of ~700,000 and about ~70 NPCs if you want to round the number in a convenient way. You can use that conclude that a single NPC represents about 10k population in this type of game!

Captain Beans posted:How is it that witcher 3, which released 8 years ago, still absolutely crushes everything in the npc conversations department? I’m talking the whole system - actual dialogue writing, the camera placement, npc facial expressions, body movements, speech volume balance/mixing, just everything. Panzeh posted:Well, that's in keeping with the first person perspective with these games. CDP also discarded their whole third person dialogue tech to do first person in CP2077 just because they thought it would be a cool technical challenge and while CP2077 is also a flawed game like SF, the first person conversations in it were better from tech POV than anything Bethesda ever did.

Sumerian Telecom posted:The entire worldbuilding is so unbelievably lame. It's like not a single cool person works at Bethesda. Space snake god? Cowboy hat town? Everything is so golly gee wilikers. quote:I used to have this thing with Todd, because he was one of the ones that’s like, “Let’s not make it too weird.” So I’d bamboozle him. There was a period where I would actually draw two different versions of a monster — the one that was weird and that I wanted to be in the game, and then one that was loving crazy. And so I’d go to Todd, and I’m like, “OK, I think I’ve got the mid-level creature set.” And I’d show him a picture. He’d be like, “Nah, dude, that’s crazy.” Then I’d go back to my office and I would act like I was drawing something new, and I’d just come back with the original drawing of what I really wanted to be in there. Like, “Hey, is this what you were thinking?” And he’d be all, “Oh, yeah, that’s much better. That’s great.”

tracecomplete posted:Starfield got me to finally go play Skyrim Special Edition and I nearly jumped out of my skin when I remembered that this is how skills worked (because I haven't really played Skyrim since release, I went back to FO3 and FONV a few times though). It's so good. If any of you haven't tried the Ordinator mod for Skyrim that reworks the perk trees, I recommend it. It's really fun for the second playthrough.
