I didn’t find any of the responses to be insightful, more a marketing reply to convince people who are off put by the negativity. This is coming from someone who’s played the game nearly 80 hours. Still disappointed by it, but I have a hoarding sim problem

Bethesda games make hoarding painful though.

Are you kidding? Slowly unloading your ship 200 pounds at a time and waiting for it to hopefully actually transfer to the pods is so fun. Not to mention they have absolutely no storage so you need a wall of them that you must then manually search to find anything. The best is when your cargo ship doesn't fit on the landing pad so you have to carry it all yourself. Or you could build a convoluted network of shipping docks and either manually fuel them or create another convoluted network of shipping docks just to ship helium 3 to all the other shipping docks. Fuck I love loading screens.

Rage aside, the game itself was pretty fun for a run or two, but after that the shallowness really showed. Outposts suck ass though. I made shitty ones and figured I'd hit ng+ before actually caring about them, but I couldn't make myself care. Benches go outside, I don't give a shit.

God I'm just remembering how bad it is now. If the terrain isn't perfectly level go fuck yourself, you can't expand your hab. I build a fucking boardwalk with multiple levels and shopfronts in FO4, I had nearly full map coverage for artillery, I could attract settlers to live there and defend it. Now I just drop an extractor and power and fuck off.

Real talk inventory and weight limits are 99% time completely useless mechanics that detract from gameplay.

yeah not having the ability to have shops and all that stuff like fallout 4 sucks, hopefully they will keep adding things like they did to fo4 to get the game to a better state

I mean, to be fair in every Bethesda game you had to do some...let's call it "inventory management".

At least in Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim

I had a barrel outside caius' house that I dumped all my extra stuff into. One barrel held everything. My current storage outpost has... At least 10 resource storage crates? And that's still not enough. Plus actually hauling all that shit from mining outposts.

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Replying to myself because I just can't get over how shitty storage is. I can carry my armor, pack, like 8 guns, and way too many consumables, then stack another 130 or so on top of that. The giant ass storage crates as tall as me? 100, take it or leave it.

I prefer the use oxygen to run mechanic over the now you can only walk mechanic. But yeah, it could be better. Let me hold all the guns Bethesda, encumbrance isn’t fun. I should just use the console and add that mod that reenables achievements
