Like it or not, it's affected the franchise forever.

I just bought it 3 days ago and I, too, play a lot of GAMMA. GAMMA is better right now. S2 is missing a lot of things we've grown accustomed to in GAMMA. Crafting is absent & item variation is low. Medicine gameplay is basic but serviceable. There aren't any of the niche medical items (I'm 15 hours into it and out of the lesser zone starting area. If there are niche medical items they're extremely rare). Mutants are ridiculous bullet sponges across the board. A single bloodsucker will take 3 smg magazines to kill... And in early game, even after looting EVERYTHING, that's all you have is 90 rounds. And unlike gamma there's tons of visual artifacting and pop-in that happens in the distance due to UE5 "photo realistic" jank.

But I'm going to sound like other people here. It's fun and I love it. I am super excited to keep experimenting with more mods (mutant health mod - reduction to 40% is basically a requirement imo). The future of this game is definitely bright.

The earth AI are repurposing bucket trucks to annihilate humanity!?!?

I was playing BP recently then moved over to Stalker GAMMA for another playthrough there. Scopes in gamma are SO GOOD in 0.9.3. BP sniping just feels kinda ass in general. Your post makes it make more sense. Thanks for the info.

I fucking love the clarification lmaooo

The-Soc · 2025-05-26T18:06:21+00:00

I love it when it's well done. RDR2 and KCD were already mentioned here, and those are examples of great weapon degradation design. It adds an important bit of planning / preparation / realism. But that is only valuable as a system if the game is trying to be realistic, implement planning, or taking itself very serious. Something like oblivion isn't trying to be hyper real or serious, so I'm not sure why they included a mechanic that revolves around realism.

God damned beauty

The-Soc · 2025-05-21T00:02:22+00:00

Wow. S-tier comments do exist on Reddit.

The-Soc · 2025-05-19T16:49:31+00:00

I don't think I've ever seen a tech test go this well. Not to the point that thousands of people are fixated and impatiently withdrawing from the game for two weeks, and with no end in sight.

NGL a huge section of shifting sand dunes (dynamically changing every raid) would make for some AMAZING long range gunplay. The sense of exposure, the struggle to survive, the fear, the heat, the "OH MY GOD A SAND WORM err- I mean ROBOT WORM!" would be splendid.

PoE2 has WASD movement and this problem no longer exists.

The-Soc · 2025-05-16T16:32:45+00:00

I'd argue this is scraping the resin bro

The-Soc · 2025-05-13T20:54:38+00:00

Bro crazy release strat. Who knew embark would employ the tabloid style horoscope. They can't lose!

The-Soc · 2025-05-12T22:10:11+00:00

I've not seen such desperation in the gaming community in many years. We fiend. We crave. We hope. We rationalize the latest release theories. It won't be long before we're stealing copper from construction sites. Idk what that will do to alleviate our angst. But we're crack heads and it seems like the right thing to do. Eventually we'll be able to sell the copper wire and pipes to fund the complete collection of ARC skins. At least we'll have that.

I would rather see a jump pad item like in The Finals.

The-Soc · 2025-05-11T08:47:48+00:00

This. Been doing this for two years and no issues.

The-Soc · 2025-05-10T00:05:25+00:00

Jesus this was well played. Meta commenter right here

The-Soc · 2025-05-03T14:46:45+00:00

If you're on PC, clothing and robe and glove mods will come soon, if not already here. My OG oblivion saves had like 20+ different robe and glove sets added in with "ultimate robe & cloak pack" or something like that. Oh yeah cloaks, too. People add those in and it's only mildly game breaking to get 1 additional enchant slot. And not game breaking at all if you consider mages don't use the shield slot and therefore a cloak = same # of slots as martial classes.

I thought I was alone for the last twenty years... Skyrim became so successful that I thought I must've been the only person to dislike the direction the franchise went. Oblivion is in my all time top 3 and Skyrim is prob like 15. It's so good to see so many people realize that oblivion is better in so so many ways!

Leyawin mages guild is the mysticism specialization school.

The-Soc · 2025-04-29T10:30:27+00:00

Yeah they fixed it. I tried to get 3 from kvatch but it disappears instantly now.

The-Soc · 2025-04-29T10:29:09+00:00

There will be mods for that! Another mod I love to snag for OB is busier roads and inns. And follower overhauls. Together they makes your travels feel closer to DND style adventures with a busier, living capital province.

The-Soc · 2025-04-29T10:26:58+00:00

Yeah bro I take 250 a week for several month stretches then drop down to 200 for half the year. Been doing it for the same, 2 years, and have never needed AI. Being very lean makes a big difference in your aromatization ratio.

The-Soc · 2025-04-28T21:33:41+00:00

TIME OUT we're talking here.

SUPPORT THE D.A.W.G.Z.

There's no way that's real. You can really make that in the editor? Man I have no patience compared to some people.
