I feel like some people *need* you to not cater to all that.
I mean a game like Elden Ring sold incredibly well, on the charts for months, and judging by some of these late game percentages on steam, a pretty sizeable chunk of players actually meaningfully played the game for a good long while.

I feel like there's some MGS stuff in here that I don't recall seeing before
I'm sure it's nothing new, but very cool regardless

This post made me curious about what engine they used and I saw this on unseen64, it seems like they were originally so invested in this that they were developing an engine alongside it. They moved to renderware eventually.

Just using this as an excuse to repost a joke I spent an embarrassing amount of time on to reply to your introduction/bio post (the vast majority of the time was spent figuring out the citizen sleeper logo font)

This stretch of time saw other choice-heavy RPG releases like Mass Effect 2 and Witcher 2. I don't think it's a coincidence that I loved escaping to them. Of course it wasn't games that got me out of my situation, but they provided much needed comfort at a time when everything else was discomfort.

Some of it is major, like your faction reputation, governed by a dynamic system in concert with discrete story choices, which determines who will be your enemy. It all came together to give an impression of reactivity, partially by leveraging layers of Bethesda's systems from their toolkit.

FNV has a ton of small feedback to your narrative choices and character build. The bulk of it is minor things: return to Helios One to find the Legion guarding it, or an NCR sharecropper chews you out bc they lost their plot of land due to missed quotas if you let Westside co-op siphon their water.

I think New Vegas resonated with me bc it gave me a sense of agency at a time when I felt I had none. Little touches- an unnamed NPC hearing rumors of something I did across the map, a check for a skill I tagged that opens up a more amicable quest path. It felt like I had choices and they mattered.

Just saw that it's New Vegas' 15th birthday, a game that's very likely my favorite of all time. This game came out during my most depressed period of my life, as I slowly realized but self-denied the extent to which my partner at the time was manipulating and gaslighting me.

I love it, and I feel they did a great job transitioning Fallout's art direction to 3D and to something thematically DC. It seems like Adam Adamowicz did a lot of the heavy lifting in this regard, and I think Fallout 4's art direction didn't quite have the same strength of vision in his absence.
