| azuarc 12/13/20 11:11:06 AM #34: | The main thing that always annoyed me about New Vegas is how the beginning of the game basically feels like it's on rails until you get to Vegas. You have to pass through all of these other areas before you can get there, which minimizes the amount of free-roaming you can do. And if you dare to stray too far off the path, you get overwhelmed by incredibly powerful enemies. Going through the quarry to shortcut and staring down a bunch of devilsaurs is basically a metaphor for my frustration with the game. Like, I enjoy New Vegas, I think it's factions and its world-building are vastly superior to actual Bethesda games, but there's also a certain stiffness to the way I feel like I'm meant to enjoy it that just doesn't work for me. I'm playing The Outer Worlds right now, and it's there, too. Say what you will about FO3, FO4, and Skyrim, but they feel a lot looser and a lot more accommodating to you doing what you want to do, even if they don't work nearly as hard at encouraging role-playing. --- Video Game Music Contest 14 champion: Idola Phantasy Star Saga - Endeavour ...
