I agree, but you've described very small areas in the game you purely run through maybe doing small 5 minute side quests in. Outside of that there's basically 1 interior style that you're looking at for every ship, space station, mars, the moon, and every other settlement.
It's like if Fallout 4 had Diamond city, the institute, the railroad, and every other outdoor location looked like the Glowing Sea: flat, rocky, one building type.
God I would kill (every NPC) for an Obsidian-made Skyrim.
Tbh Outer Worlds is kinda a kill-every-NPC Starfield.
Also there's not really a gameplay appeal of FO:NV (or FO3). 2008 is really where games got shooting mechanics down and Bethesda's engine didn't really get there until 2015. That's why VATS exists.
FO was a very TTRPG-like (CRPG) game for a long time so the focus wasnt on gameplay.
Or just hit the one trigger (that's always directly between you and the ring) and it stops spinning.
npcs repeat the same path and barks every few minutes.
Man you really haven't played a Bethesda game since Skyrim
The lack of rpg choices makes it less bethesda to me
You mean the games where the dialogue choices are:
Tbh, you could probably still play this; the steam deck can play it.
That being said, I don't recommend you play it.
90% of the bullet points are unrecorded. If we're counting every Joe Smoe, then 99.9999...% is unrecorded.
It's the Square checkouts and the other new POS like them. I'm pretty sure Square takes a chunk of the tip which is why they're enabled by default (and I'm not sure you can disable them).
The murals are a nice touch, let's see how the white paint looks in 50 years though.
Oktoberfest beers (Märzens) literally have carmel malts, they're the Starbucks of beers.
...what?
There's flavor text options I guess but NPCs don't even acknowledge what you say. They always respond with a canned "I didn't think about it that way", or "oh, interesting"
The "minigame" is just rolling three dice instead of one dice roll like in the past.
