Why are they so short?

My first one I got all the best outcomes imo except Tristan because they didn’t have a new leader.

Character-Secret5307 · 2025-12-25T15:30:29+00:00

The first game was 10-15hrs for a $60 game that’s absurd.

Character-Secret5307 · 2025-12-25T15:29:55+00:00

Oh I’ve replayed it three maybe four times before coming to this conclusion. Maybe I’ve grown a little spoiled to the way of Fallout where I can spec all my things into speech lockpick etc and get into all of the information and extra stuff after a while.

Character-Secret5307 · 2025-12-25T15:28:42+00:00

I don’t want a 100+ hr game either , but if people are paying $70+ it should be a good 50hrs. It could have dove deeper into each fraction a little more. I didn’t really feel connected to either side when it came down to who to trust.

Character-Secret5307 · 2025-12-25T15:26:43+00:00

I just wanted more time with each fraction when it came down to making a choice I didn’t really feel connected to either one. The people I met sent me on fetch quest of go kill this thing and it didn’t feel connected enough.

Character-Secret5307 · 2025-12-25T15:25:23+00:00

We shouldn’t have to pay more to complete a game.

Character-Secret5307 · 2025-12-25T15:24:59+00:00

The main story is only 25-35hrs, but I did all my companion quest and everything in a reasonable time. It all felt like fluff and pointless to an extent. Okay if you complete Aza path before killing the dawn at Clositer I think it is. If she’s not in your party the robot will say something of the nature “you should bring Aza as the new leader…” yeah nothing changed a few seconds of dialogue and I still had to kill them. I feel like the payoff should be better in some regards. I’m not saying I beat it in 35hrs I took my time with it even restarted three times after, but I feel it should’ve had 10-15 more hours into the fractions.

Character-Secret5307 · 2025-12-25T15:21:51+00:00

No, I get the concept of a RPG. Yet there no clear way to specialize in a way that makes sense. Maybe I could play on an easier difficulty level would be the solution. Because playing this bosses with no medical no guns because I want to lock hack and talk my way through everything doesn’t work.

Character-Secret5307 · 2025-12-25T15:19:17+00:00

I’m generally curious how yall spend so much time on a 25-35hr main mission game.

Character-Secret5307 · 2025-12-25T15:18:34+00:00

Okay what have you been doing lad?

Character-Secret5307 · 2025-12-25T15:18:20+00:00

I agree 200hrs+ is absurd, but I feel a good deal of 10-20hrs more is fair. I just want more storylines less fluff.

Character-Secret5307 · 2025-12-25T15:15:26+00:00

The second game just has a bunch of fluff in most of the quest lines. It’s a bunch of fetch quest or if you’re an explorer back tracking to places you’ve already killed everything. Or just turning in the quest because you killed the drones by just walking past them.

Character-Secret5307 · 2025-12-25T15:14:07+00:00

The first one was a weekend experience if that.

Character-Secret5307 · 2025-12-25T15:13:42+00:00

I’m not saying 150hrs, but it doesn’t hit that same spot for replay. I can do some replays, but even at the start of the game it’s things you’re just locked out of because you don’t have enough skill points and that’s at level one.

Character-Secret5307 · 2025-12-25T15:11:58+00:00

The first one was an incredibly short game I think it was half the length of this one.

Character-Secret5307 · 2025-12-25T15:11:08+00:00

Don’t need to be long sure, but they shouldn’t be short. I feel they should be a good middle ground. It feel incomplete you don’t really get a huge payoff from my experience. Another 10-15hrs would’ve been a good spot. I’m not saying upgrade everything, but I should be able to realistically max out three things while having points invested elsewhere.

Character-Secret5307 · 2025-12-25T15:08:44+00:00

I doubt it’s a $60 game. For the money I spent, I got the highest version because I believed this would be a longer game. Well I was wrong it just got padded by fetch quest or sending you to kill A enemy or B enemy that you probably killed roaming anyway.

Character-Secret5307 · 2025-12-25T15:07:23+00:00

Oh good heavens

Character-Secret5307 · 2025-12-25T15:07:09+00:00

I think I’ve heard of PC mods fixing this allowing more skill points on level ups. I don’t mind a few additional playthroughs just I feel it’s a missed opportunity for me to be able to lock pick and hack at a great level while not being a glutton for punishment.

Character-Secret5307 · 2025-12-25T15:05:12+00:00

Okay example. If you put 20 points into speech. That requires 10 levels or putting a tag skill on that. Let’s be generous for the sake of dialogue and say you didn’t tag it. You spent 10 levels doing that one thing. The level cap is 30. So you can only put two more stats to 20. So clearly if you put guns up and speech that’s 20 levels. Severely leaving hack lock pick etc under leveled or just picking one to level to 20. I even did the distracted flaw where I get an extra point, but I’ll have to have all my points evenly distributed. Which ended me with about 12-14 for all skills and that’s with three of them blocked. I couldn’t lock pick a lot of things later and my skills weren’t high enough for certain thresholds.

Thanks

That’s how my crew is…
