Something Wicked Games snatches another veteran for their horror-RPG
Looking forward to talking to an NPC, going to the specified location, slaughtering every man, woman, and animal in sight, then returning to the NPC for my reward in the new Something Wicked game

After playing Starfield, I, uh, wouldn’t be chomping at the bit to hire their lead main quest designer.

Don't work at Bethesda. Not going to claim this is in anyway accurate. Maybe the reason they left was because they weren't allowed to design interesting quests and thus were tired of being railroaded. I say this because any quest designer is essentially a storyteller so for quests to be so bland to lack character has to be intentional.

maybe, but also they were a /lead/ so should have had some level of agency there.

Is the story lacking?
Fredselfish@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Haven’t played yet is the game not good.

It’s atmospheric and good, but player choice is lacking.

It’s fallout 4 with a different texture painted over the top, with all the charm removed and replaced with loading screens.

I really like it. These people are hating because it’s memey to hate Bethesda.

The game is fine. It’s on Gamepass so I’d play it through that, I wouldn’t pay the full retail for it.
Mostly I was referencing that the quests are fairly flat and uninspiring.

It’s a firm 7/10 without mods. It’s a great framework but it lacks content past a certain point

It’s really good but the Bethesda hate train is still going strong. It’s definitely not for everyone though, it’s not a space sim by any means.
