Agreed. As a game it was one of the best Ubi has done maybe ever imo.

It was. Most of it’s criticism comes from the fact that it’s not really an assassin’s creed game anymore. It was mostly far cry: ancient greece

And they’re the best at all of that.

So I’ll reinforce my first suggestion to look into turn-based CRPG as a genre and see for yourself. That’s where you’ll find most of the mechanics you seem to want and you won’t have to take the opinions of strangers as to how much gore is too much for you.

Yes but it’s not all of the stuff, far from it

Is any form of violence or blood a no-no? If you can accept some, Larian (bg3’s developper) was already well known for the Divinity series. Many even say that BG3 is kind of Divinity:Original Sin 3 with a DnD license. You’ll still be killing some people though. Otherwise, I suggest searching for Turn-Based games which BG3 is. You might like Battletech which is a mech warrior themed game or the X-Com series where there’s an alien invasion.

And also, you might have been mislead by the videos. Yes the brain parasite is important but you’re really only directly dealing with mind flayers (the tentacle clad monsters) in the very beginning and very end. The rest is just a classic fantasy setting.

Well, I was kinda taking the piss at OP for such a weak post. Colours are kindergarden opinions.

Woosh.

Yellow is the best car color. More cars should be painted yellow. There’s not enough out there.

I think we’ve been far more evil towards them than the other way around. We cut the most beautiful of them to make furniture after all.

IN what way would that be evil? They produce the very thing that keeps us alive by transforming what kills us.

I have done all of this. but thanks for posting this. Somehow venting about this kind of anonymously did more help than anything you just listed.

No, not even remotely. I actually feel worst than ever. But I also feel so paralyzed and hopeless.

Eating is a fundamental physiological need. Making money from selling food isn’t. We have the means to feed everyone but it’s nor profitable. The ecomomy is a human fabrication.

Not all of Starfield is randomly generated. This specific example is from one of the main big cities that are definitely hand built. The random stuff is mostly deserts and outposts like what players can build. So even according to your standards, this is a correct and legitimate comparison.

How could joysticks replace keyboards apart from forcing you to use a virtual keyboard with a joystick? Is everything else about computing the same or is it some form of fantasy joystick centered computer? Anyway what’s more important is that joysticks already exist in computing and we know they serve a specific purpose and really suck for the rest cause we tried. We designed the computer after all so we control how we interact with them. Not like we found them in the wilds and they somehow only had a joystick.
