It's gonna be shit, isn't it? We've gone from vampire sandbox to Fallout 4, but with worse dialogue

And I was getting so hopeful after Mitsoda got canned and the game got pushed back indefinetely. Auteur theory is a fuck, Mitsoda has basic gen-x'er humor and I'm glad he's gone. Why the fuck did they decide to pivot into this Fallout 4 type dreg though? The main character is going to have an established backstory and everything.
Why make an RPG if you don't want players to role play?
I guess. At some point, I'm just looking for a good story with a nice polished veneer.
More annoyed that, in the year of our Lord 2023, its this fucking hard to reskin ME/Fallout 3 as Gothic Horror and get it out the door.
Yeah, me too. Disco Elysium is a fantastic game, and it is (in a lot of ways) very rigid about the character you're playing. It's just fantastically written and beautiful to experience, and that's the best I can hope for.
Not all games can deliver that though, and I'll gladly take a mid story with lots of possibility for roleplay/exploration different approaches and the like. I just have a hard time enjoying a middling story that is also rigid in its presentation of its character, especially when that story is presented thru an RPG.
:yea: I really just wanted some cool locations, some fun powers and some neat side-quests. It seems like every group that's been involved thinks it has to make some Epic Saga or some shit. Just give me some Prototype but with more RPG elements.
Honestly, the more I think about it... Can the folks that did Pathologic 2 put together a V:tM game? Because I feel like they're both on the same frequency.
That would rule
