60 hours in, either I'm playing it or thinking about it. Hell, I'm taking a break from just wiping out the Crimson Fleet to post this.
Yeah yeah puddle deep and all but I like Bethesda RPGs, there isn't anyone else making sandbox RPGs to compare to and it runs good enough on Xbox. My PC was never gonna play it well.
No matter how much you hate it tho you have to admit the dialog system is the best of the atudios' games by far. There are so many Persuade options and the mini game for it is done well enough. So many skills and traits get brought up in dialog like stealth, security, wanted, faction, etc. It's like an upgrade on New Vegas's system. Combat is great too and impactful . Hell I shot a guy in the shoulder and he grabbed it and yelled "OW HE HIT ME IN THE SHOULDER!" which surprised me. Space combat is fun too.
Wish UI and inventory management was better. Wish I could fly off the beaten path and find shit outside the "space box" you warp into. But whatever, once I realized it's Fallout, not Freelancer I adjusted accordingly. Games better than the haters make it out to be, and that's without any mods.
...what?
There's flavor text options I guess but NPCs don't even acknowledge what you say. They always respond with a canned "I didn't think about it that way", or "oh, interesting"
The "minigame" is just rolling three dice instead of one dice roll like in the past.
Which is an improvement over Fallout 4 and Skyrim.
Name a better way without invoking ChatGPT Go:
Games that NPCs actually respond appropriately something you say to persuade them?
Off the top of my head:
Persuation in Mass Effect was literally a karma check. What are you talking about?
