anyone else spend 10x the amount of time getting mods to function than actually playing the game?
(sh.itjust.works)
Gimme a game where I just change settings and load orders. I don't want to actually play a game, I want to move sliders, click check boxes, and scroll through drop down menus. The lizard part of my brain yearns for simple tasks
Sounds like you should just play more 4x games instead of trying to turn games like Fallout into something they aren't.
Edit: or maybe something like Kenshi.
My problem with 4x is I am too stupid to ever win the end game. Or so my time with Stellaris tells me. That early and mid game was pretty fun, though. But anyways, I'll never be too dumb to waltz into an orc encampment, slaughter them all, and clear out their mines just to bump my smithing skill up a bit.
For me it's the problem solving of modding that's fun, I like the troubleshooting process, and the moment when you finally get the game to run smoothly with your set of mods is veery satisfying.
To each their own, it just seems like the crux of this post is 'man I sure wish modding wasn't as complicated'. Which, as far as both you and I are concerned, kind of defeats the point of modding.
I'm of the opinion that modding is fun, both the process and the finished result. Even if it can be kind of a pain in the ass sometimes.
4x doesn't scratch that same itch. Kenshi is fun. Very weird but also very fun, unless I make my base in the wrong place and some weeaboos with tin hats keep dabbing away with my bread baskets. Fuck the Black Dragon Ninjas
Yeah, that I can understand. I realized that there are many more similarities between Fallout and Kenshi than there are between Fallout and 4x games.
Have you tried Caves of Qud?
I've heard of it, but I've never played it
May or may not be your thing, it's hard to find games that check all the boxes. Caves of Qud is rough in some ways, very very deep experience but rough.
