I know what your point is, it’s just not applicable to Game Design, only to graphical fidelity and perhaps controls and smoothness. Throwing more money or a bigger team isn’t going to make the actual Role Playing better, and historically the opposite has happened. Chasing profits leads to making games with more mass appeal, and removes niches.

Again, see Morrowind, Fallout 1/2/New Vegas, Arcanum, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, and more all have vastly superior RPG mechanics to Skyrim, Oblivion, Fallout 4, and Starfield, despite having smaller budgets, a less experienced team, and less money.

The same thing happens in Skyrim, lol. As compared with Skyrim, Starfield is better.

Sure, I never mentioned FNV.

Sure, Starfield is a step down in quite a few ways. Still a better RPG.

They did, that’s why there’s traits and actual skill checks again. However, they still chase that bag and as such made it as generic and profitable as possible.

Same as usual. Vote for the least harmful candidates while advocating for actual grassroots improvements, because voting harder won’t move America to the left, ever.

Love Anarchist philosophy, I think it’s literally radical as hell, but holy shit Anarchists are just as whiny as Tankies sometimes.

Rather than posting infighting memes or debating online, try to educate and learn more yourself, build up your community, actually do something. These memes are just cringe.

Because if you’re not advocating and actually doing praxis, then you should be spending time on yourself and enjoying life, or working to support yourself and those around you. Infighting memes are just cringe.

There are too few hours in the day to spend any time with infighting memes, lmao

Yes, it’s either the terminally online, or the people that have managed to actually make it far enough that it even matters. In the west, it absolutely doesn’t matter, except perhaps in revolutionary strategy, ie Anarcho-Syndicalism vs Vanguardism vs etc.

Day to day, the same exact praxis persists: educate yourself, improve your life and understanding, advocate for positive change, unionize, build up your community, and educate others. It doesn’t matter what leftist tendency you personally prefer, the praxis on a day to day level is the same.

The ability to actually roleplay a character you create, ie mechanics within game to reinforce that which you design your character as.

Medical skill checks for doctors, background checks for Freestar natives, piracy subcycles for pirates, etc.

What you’re describing has nothing to do with roleplaying, just the setting, which I never tried to argue was better in Starfield because it isn’t.
