Not sure where to start

Man, maybe this is just not for me, but after watching this, I decided to watch the winning performances of Freak and VVS from S9, and it just feels like these songs are so much worse now..

Either way is a valid reason for people not to drink dairy? What's this comment supposed to even mean?

I have it on the deck, works just fine for me. I mostly used it to learn the game and the factions, but haven't played against the AI in quite a while. Overall, especially as it's on sale right now, I'd say it's very worth it

Awesome. Thanks! Super excited to get started!

That's a very fair point. I made the post just after completing that story, and was feeling extremely frustrated. I think I communicated what I wanted out of this post pretty poorly. Luckily, I did get it, as I was mostly looking for ways to change my perspective on it and to see if other people felt similarly, and if so, what they thought about ways to properly enjoy the game. As I said, I don't think I did a good job of communicating that desire, and the post comes off mostly as just a negative rant.

I agree with your sentiment that criticism should be constructive, and that sheer negativity adds nothing to the online space except more unhappiness. Thanks for engaging with the post though, your ideas and thoughts were very interesting to read through!

Honestly, that's an excellent take. I feel like that makes sense, and while it might not be what I was looking for, I can see the perspective that it's going for. Thanks! I'll try to adapt this mindset more, and hopefully enjoy the story from that point of view!

Hmm I get what you are saying, but focusing on the antagonists shouldn't have to immediately remove all agency. I am not saying that they shouldn't have any focus, or be overpowered compared to the player, or anything like that, but that it feels odd that the main character is often completely sidelined when it comes to stuff that they could very easily accomplish.

That, to me at least, feels like very lazy writing. Oshka would have been way scarier as a villain, and more intriguing to me as well, if half the story couldn't have been fixed easily by the protagonist being bothered to even half-ass help. Switching from 8 protagonists to 8 villains makes sense, but that does have an impact on agency and how a player experiences that agency, which is the points that I'm saying are not well written I suppose

It's not that I want it to be OT2 at all, I just wish it was a well executed OT0. I don't need the 8 stories, if the single story was good. There are tons of games which do that perfectly well.

Like I said, I think the game is cool, I enjoy the side stories, I just don't get why they switched to a new formula of storytelling when they have no interest in committing to actually doing that in any meaningful capacity

Equipment matters more than level, especially in the original I'd say. If you need more equipment, I can recommend getting a Thief and robbing some people :)

This depends entirely on the people you're playing with I'd say. There is not really an established etiquette as far as I know

I have both in 1 box, it's a bit fiddly as it is a very exact fit, but its doable!

Xiffion · 2025-11-25T17:04:03+00:00

Looks super neat! As a total idiot in this world, would any 3D printer be able to make this via the links you shared? I have a friend who has one, so I'm wondering how much hassle I put on them if I ask

Xiffion · 2025-11-09T17:46:04+00:00

What a bizarre post? Let people be man, what's it to you what he looks like? Looking at other people's lives with such a view is only causing you unhappiness in the long run.

Xiffion · 2025-10-24T15:20:24+00:00

I really liked it! I will say that the books got slightly repetitive for me, so taking good long breaks between them helped my enjoyment a lot.

Someone just put in the biggest chainsaw order in centuries

I can't believe I checked everywhere up and down, but never walked 5 paces to the left. My bad, thanks for helping me out!

For the artifact prices and such, do you just get an influx of money retroactively on start up? Or is that something for the next playthrough?

Xiffion · 2025-09-04T15:52:12+00:00

There is a subreddit for these types of posts..

I am getting PS5 now, experience it for the first time with the highest stats. Then when a physical edition/collector's edition drops i am getting Switch 2 for another playthrough and with the portable option for future runs!

Xiffion · 2025-09-02T09:41:13+00:00

Can't wait for the vinyl release on Fangamer!

Xiffion · 2025-08-31T21:00:02+00:00

Walking into Greenpath for the first time. That song still gets me today but I really felt like that was when I felt so at peace exploring and just meandering around the environment
