I think what it comes down to is how much you enjoy the freedom of the games. A lot of their games kinda just let you loose with a story that you can build over the course of the game, whereas New Vegas has a goal in mind that it is constantly pushing you towards.

Again, I don’t think either preference is better than the other. I just think they are two very different play styles that are suited for different experiences.

It sounds like you’re a fan of Bethesda games so I think this game will definitely be great for you.

Personally, I’ve really struggled to enjoy their games because they just feel a bit shallow for reasons that I can’t explain. They just don’t engage me at all. New Vegas was the only one that I completed and I think that is likely due to a difference in game design that I enjoy more.

I want to like Starfield and I will give it a try when it comes out, but I’m just worried it will leave me with an empty feeling like their other games do.

The burden of proof is on the poster to verify the story. I think it’s safe to say like 80% of stories on the internet are fake (what does ‘some missing parts’ even mean??)

I don’t doubt people have had similar experiences but greentexts are rarely true and this one sounds incoherent to me

You’ve gone back too far! I meant mid to late aughts (2005-2010)

It’s because a lot of people here are people who miss the earlier days of the internet and are trying to recreate that feeling. I’m not that old but it’s got me feeling nostalgic so I enjoy it

You’re giving the perfect example of the centrist mindset. I’ve followed American bills and laws being passed in the past four years and there is an objectively correct opinion on which side is better for the wellbeing of the people.

Republicans are constantly trying to repeal laws of bodily autonomy and workers rights. They are pushing for ways to gerrymander and make voting more difficult in Democrat areas. They have to rely on riling up their base with lies and fear-mongering because it’s all they have.

The democrats are more of a mixed bag but they are at least doing some things that actually help and improve the lives of the average person instead of actively doing the opposite.

But that doesn’t fit within the centrist framework because they are just too smart

To be clear, I’m not American either. I just think that centrism reads as a lack of any principles. Especially when one side is blatantly anti-democracy.

More parties would obviously be better but that’s a difficult task to surmount.

You’re right and I have been considering this from the other commenter. It could be pretty interesting.

The only other consideration I’d have as a hobby developer is that it would be pretty expensive for a minor gain, but perhaps major studios wouldn’t have a problem with that

Every American ‘centrist’ I’ve seen plays constant defence for the far right. Idk maybe it’s just a coincidence but I’m not the only one who’s noticed it
