  How is the game loop broken?

    Did you try to play stealth my guy. And how much fucking work do I have to put in, how much useless crafting do I have to do so I can just put a silencer on my gun common man if this doesn’t mean broken what does.

      It’s “come on” or “c’mon”, not “common”.

        Thanks, I guess. I’ll edit.

      Yeah, my first build was a stealth character, I did it just fine. You’re mostly likely specing your builds wrong for stealth or wearing a million pounds of armor clanking around thinking you’re being stealthy. There’s specific armor pieces meant for stealth, which also help a ton.

      The weapon modding isn’t broken. If you find a gun with a suppressor, you can take that off and put it on the same model as yours. I don’t think needing a skill/crafting to make a whole suppressor warrants the game being called broken.

    Everyone says everything is “broken” now. The game loop absolutely works so it’s not broken Yet it is flawed.

      Yeah, they could’ve done better with the New Game+ for sure, which to me isn’t exactly surprising since it’s their first main line game to have it.

      I do appreciate that there are considerable differences to the story on certain replays, but it’s a slog doing basically the same thing every time. I wish there was a bit more variance.

      I do think it will be remembered fondly eventually just like every other mainline Bethesda game has been though.

        Funnily enough, this is the first time a game’s NG+ actual felt compelling to me with how it’s actually part of the story and the workings of the universe.
