I’m certainly enjoying playing. I just wish Bethesda could stop making potato people with weird talking animations and the whole muted, grainy, weird Bethesda art style, but that aside it’s pretty fun. I wasn’t watching a bunch of footage beforehand, so I didn’t build up expectations to get let down. I think paying too much attention to things said during development (which is where lots of changes happen) is pretty dumb.
I went a couple of times years ago when it was just starting to turn into what you describe. Had a great time, but it quickly priced me out. Now, it sounds like an influencer-laden hellscape. The addition of premium plug and play sites was the nail in the coffin. That said, a lot of the old time Burners are fucking amazing, creative, resourceful, and helpful people.
The struggle isn’t men vs women. It’s different mindsets. There are men, women, and other identities who view things in an us vs them bigoted way and then there are those who don’t look at what someone is, but how they treat others. The latter tend to be capable of getting along just fine together and use communication skills and emotional maturity to create solidarity with each other rather than pointing fingers at each other and creating absolutist rules and narratives. They show what is possible and are creating change and progress through being the solution of unity and solidarity by simply being cool with each other and not assuming anything about each other based on whatever identities they have.
At least they could have the social courtesy to hop on the digital bandwagon and use autotone.
I’m having a blast with a Bard character. So many dialogue options open up and I get like +7 on many dialogue rolls. This is the best D&D experience I’ve had in a video game.
This used to be the way with all games. You had one version. It was one game and everyone got the same thing. All the additional stuff is just a normalized scam.
I’m American, but switched it to the male UK voice. Far less irritating and a lot less “by the way…” crap.
I guess birds aren’t real after all.
Nah, it’ll just be another, “Gawd werks in mysterious wayz!”
Diablo 4, Chivalry 2 when I need to blow off steam or just get high and bash about and be silly.
I’ve got a mid-grade PC and haven’t had any issues except the potato people with weird speaking animations and that ugly green filter over everything. Used a mod to take care of the second thing. While I am enjoying the game quite a bit, I’ve long wished that Bethesda could up their art style and animations. Thank fuck they got more than 5 voice actors now.
