Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Auto scaling NPCs to your level is such a shitty and lazy solution to difficulty scaling. I'm so sick of it.
Why can't they do an escalation system like the cops instead for each gang? The longer you aggravate them on their turf the heavier the guys are they send out. Much more realistic, and if you are getting your ass kicked you just scoot over to some other gangs turf.
I hated this in GTA (mainly 3 and SA). You're doing an escort mission and suddenly 6 guys start shooting at you with AKs from nowhere because you pissed them off in an unrelated quest.
I prefer a Morrowind-like approach where enemies don't scale and you have to take care not to venture too deep into some crazy gang's territory early on.
But it's much much harder to make this work properly, and scaling enemies have become an expectation by players at this point.
