I tried to get into Fallout 4 for the second or third time recently, and have just given up, and uninstalled it. It's the simplified dialogue that ultimately robs it of any meaning for me. Nobody has anything very interesting to say, and the player just has a few one-word prompts to respond with. I don't suppose that's any different in Fallout: London? I imagine they'd have had to go to unreasonable lengths to change it.

This is from Waterworld, right? Troublingly relatable.

The single-player NWN used 3rd edition. I played a lot of NWN2, which was based on 3.5.

Samesies. I think it didn't help that I played the sequel first. It's just really damned dated. Some older games age really well, but NWN did not.

It's true that I'm not on any other social media, but I'm here every day. There really hasn't been much talk about Veilguard at all. Nothing like, say, all the Starfield criticism.

Is it a big commercial failure? I noped out of the series after seeing the direction they went with Inquisition, but I haven't really seen any negative press about it. Kinda seems like the article's just trying to stir up some shit

The sentence can be interpreted either way.

They're just more people who've fallen victim to a well-funded propaganda campaign. Not much different than trumpets—in fact, they share many talking points! Amusingly, both groups would be offended by the comparison.

I'd hazard a guess that they were referring to the "targeted killing of ethnic Russians" made up shit. That's just a Kremlin talking point. Shades of Operation Himmler. I don't suppose you can cite any reputable sources for it?

I do, too, and sadly I've yet to fly on one! I wonder how much TaleSpin has to do with this.

I had similar feelings about this post. Reminds me of a pansexual family member of mine who claims that everyone is pansexual, really, if they just get over their hang-ups. I'm all for people being who they want to be, and feeling free to express themselves. I dislike the patronizing implication that if I don't want to wear a crop-top and skirt, it's because I'm not sufficiently enlightened or liberated.

I don't think that was at all OP's intent, to be clear—just thinking out loud as it were. I appreciate your thoughtful response.
