I'm one of them. Once I left the sewers, I was really hit by how old the game is. Explored the city a bit but it just felt dead. Put me off of all future remakes in general.
The whole remake scene feels like a huge cash grab. They need to offer a base and improved version. I don't really want to play oblivion with slightly nicer graphics but the same stilted NPC pathing and empty cities. Current hardware can probably run the game with 5 times as many NPCs.
They don't need to all have quests but at least it would make the city feel alive. And the pathfinding is boring, they just walk behind each other in a line. I turned the game off when I went into the boat inn and everyone spawned at the entrance and was just staring at me. Can't believe I paid 70$ for that.
This is a complaint I've had about Skyrim for ages now. Every year they try to sell another copy of it, but it's the same game they sold me in 2011. They've had 15 years to go back and fix literally anything. 15 years to add real meaningful content. They could have added a new full story with every reprint and been hailed as the best RPG ever, instead they ask full price to watch Lydia get stuck in the same fucking doorways that she did when I was in highschool.
You're looking at it wrong.
They had 15 years to perfect the mod store. That code is airtight.
Any Bethesda code being air tight is impressive.
That's fair, I'm absolutely shocked that I can't just pick all of them up on nexus, but from the few I've tried on fo4 I don't see why I'd bother. Even most of the "do this one thing for the op weapon" mods have more effort put into them.
Yup. At least in skyrims case there are mods that do a lot of heavy lifting.
Honestly, they could move to just making a sandbox world and letting modders fill the game and I think the world would be happier.
I'm also one of them. I was pulled in by the nostalgia of Shivering Isles, but lost interest before I made it there. At least I "only" paid $50, I guess.
Not just feels like!
