Parvati's personality evaporates into thin air the moment she decides she is in love with another person, yeah. I agree with your assessment overall there. If the characters had better loyalty quests like the ME2 cast, they'd be better. From a gameplay perspective some of the characters have interesting niches, though. Overall the gameplay was the area where I thought Outer Worlds made up for its other flaws, since it has some very interesting/unique quirks.

26. Phantasy Star Online 2/New Genesis: New Genesis kinda sucks but it's the game that SEGA clearly wants you to play so they are pushing it hard. PSO2 is actually the game you want to play, but SEGA doesn't want you to play it anymore, so the game barely has any support or reason to continue playing. Sad. I'll likely go back to playing Blue Burst at some point in 2023 when I get the urge for more PSO, but this game ended up being a bit of a disappointment considering how long I waited for it. I did play for about 2 months before it lost my interest.

25. Skyrim (Legendary Survival Mode): I've played enough Skyrim in my life at this point and yet the experience of playing the game in Survival Mode on Legendary difficulty was still a fresh enough experience that I got super into it for a few days... might have even been a few weeks? Either way, it's a fun experience and one worth trying out. One trick to make this actually fun is to never go to Bleak Falls Barrow and simply roleplay your new life in the world of Skyrim without ever having to deal with annoying dragons spawning randomly all over the place. The lack of fast travel is what ultimately killed this experience for me. While I did have some extremely tense and fun moments as a result (like my deadly hike back from Winterhold to Windhelm the first time!) , it ultimately led to the same problem I have with basically all open world games.

24. Shadowrun (Genesis Version): Unlike Warriors of the Eternal Sun I think this game is absolutely timeless. The gameplay loop is extremely intuitive and can be very addictive; There are even some concepts and ideas this game uses that I want to try implementing into my next development project. This feels like a precursor to the model that would later be used for a lot of sandbox and MMO style games, but the small size of the Genesis cart stops things from sprawling too much and, in my opinion, makes the experience even better. You don't need to ride your horse for 5 minutes to find something interesting, the place you want to go is like 6-10 seconds away. Still, it does suffer from its age, and has a hard time competing with the better games I placed higher on the list. By the way, this is a totally different game from the SNES version if you've already played that.
