It’s tough to write and implement systems that make NPCs feel human. I get it feel disappointing to a player when NPCs are revealed as mere instruments for the player’s satisfaction, but also see it being frustrating when a game steps in to tell you that the narrative you’re trying to build with an NPC isn’t allowed…

I think you’re looking back on your PS3/Xbox360 with incredibly rose-colored glasses or through 2023 eyes because this looks identical to the 2010 game... because that’s all it is. Not a remaster, just the game from 2010, 13 years ago.

Sadly it all comes down to the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory - a person given anonymity and an audience equals a total fuckwad. You can ban someone all you want, but they can always just create a new account and restart their shitshow. Even IP bans aren’t hard to get around anymore. As long as these wastes of space…

I have no doubt that some people want that, but I don’t think I’ve ever tried to make a customizable character in a video game look like me. It would never even have occurred to me to do so.

“LARIAN WAS ABLE TO BUILD THREE COCKS IN A CAVE OUT OF A BOX OF SCRAPS!”

If it’s long enough, it can act as a pointer from the top down 

“Hopefully this is the actualization of an RPG that really lets you create a character that reflects your identity and lived experience.”

The ONE comment they have on their first comment page about ‘the left’ is them complaining that the left always lets ‘the right’ control the narrative, which is true. Democrats are horrendous about messaging, by and large. Looking at the rest of their comments, they pretty obviously have a liberal mindset.

Welcome to Biden’s America where anyone can just customize their genitals. The woke left has gone too far. Bunch of biological half-orcs unfairly competing against githyankis. It’s a travesty.

Gaming needs more auteurs, not fewer.

“Bethesda won’t directly benefit the Xbox console community in any way.”

This is devastating news for people who enjoy watching other people do things.

good. it should have always been more than two days, but Spez fucked it up again.

Well, they will continue to let 3rd parties access the API and do exactly what they had been doing - just for a much higher price. They are shooting themselves in the foot, just as Twitter has done, not realizing or caring how many of their users prefer using a third-party app.

Good. Fuck em

Well look at that, an indirect question about insulting someone directly, not much better than sarcasm. and I wouldn’t mind because I’m neither. 

I’ve only seen praise of this game and this is the first I’ve heard about the losers being losers. Almost feels like this post was written to get clicks (which it was) and not be anything of actual substance.

Huh, guess I haven’t been on the parts of the internet where this is happening. That’s great.

You know... for the Christmas tree!

There’s statues of Lois Lane holding Superman’s dead body, this isn’t that extreme.
