I enjoyed what little of it there was too, but there just wasn’t anything substantial to it. What was there was mechanics FO4 did better 8 years earlier supporting a non existent story and a largely empty world. I was willing to overlook that snapping/building ships/outposts was FO4’s settlement building but somehow worse. I was prepared to accept that individual clothing pieces were no longer a thing in favor of monolithic outfits even though it felt like a step backwards. I was even willing to accept that I couldn’t walk from one side of a settlement to the other without 3 load screens but by the time it got to the “ending” and my own gorram character just chuckles at me for thinking anything whatsoever would be explained it was obvious that I’d been taken for a ride. I liked what was there, or maybe I just really wanted to, but I was much more disappointed by what wasn’t there.
I was literally just pointing out that he’s a dictator, but you like him. The satire part was specifically in reference to the assertion that he wasn’t/isn’t an autocrat which I find laughable. I wasn’t and didn’t comment on whether he was the best choice for the Mojave, or who was and a such I genuinely don’t see the relevance of rehashing the sociopolitical context of the game.
he’s a libertarian utilitarian dictator not an authoritarian dictator
You said that he’s not an authoritarian dictator. That assertion is laughable, and so patently untrue as to approach ironic satire. What else is there to comprehend? I really don’t get where you’re coming from here.
I want to agree with you, but Starfield would need to have writing in the first place. The whole main story boils down to “there is no story, why would you think there would be?” I honestly believe Todd Howard shot down every idea to cross his desk because he thought he knew better.
Why I think this is dystopian: the rich are spending their money to fly their pets on private jets instead of, I don’t know, giving a shit about anyone but themselves. And the government lets them. So, while we gasp at grocery prices, Ivanka Trump’s dog will be flying first class.
“This thing they announced for last year, then pushed back to this year and released to coincide with a massively hyped TV show was a complete surprise to us.” Is that really FO:London’s stance? I mean, I feel for them that it sucks, but to call it a surprise feels straight up disingenuous.
