Oddbean new post about login | logout Fallout 4 had fully fledged romances, its where this system came from
Though Mass Effect did it better because of the whole "carrying over decisions between games" and actually having well written compelling characters.
I still cannot believe that one of the most prominently featured characters in Starfield, one literally on the cover, can be best described as "wooden" and she's one of 4 that you're supposed to be attracted to, its so odd (also she's like 40 years old if not older given how she's spoken about in regards to past actions)
@Shadowman311 yeah I wonder who wrote that character and regrets her life actions
It's weird that it's just her too, every other companion is actually surprisingly complex and well written, and then there's her, who just seems out of place in almost every conversation.
Like seriously, my first interaction with anyone from Constellation was the funny charismatic black dude and then my immediate second one was her, it was like whiplash. The random miners you walk around with in the tutorial are better, more fleshed out characters than she is.
@Shadowman311 yeah I couldn't believe how quickly the game just threw her at you. Or how lazy the rest of the characters in the lodge were. Oh great we got some MCU crew bullshit, can't wait for a funko pop reference in a cut scene
@Shadowman311 @de2788d5 why are you still playing these games
@f1026653 @Shadowman311 the people that make entertainment that hate me have my best interests at heart https://static.noagendasocial.com/media_attachments/files/111/022/969/798/061/453/original/1bbaf37a8cac4b81.jpg
I started getting fed up with Bethesda when Fallout 4 came out. Going from New Vegas to that was one hell of a downgrade.
She's also a massive henpecking bitch. Can't forget that.
I chose the option to bring back those big alien dinosaurs to deal with the Terrormorphs because they're cool and I wanted to see them more while exploring, and she spent like 5 minutes berating me because I didn't pick the other option, every other companion I talked to either voiced mild displeasure or support, it was so weird. Tomorrow I'm going to use console commands to fuck with companion affinity so she gets domed by the spaceman and not every other companion who all have actual personalities.
@Shadowman311 @73906740 @Remi wait now that I think about it, I can't romance the robot? You said there were like only 4 options.
Nope, theres only 4, the cardboard cutout blonde, the Asian assassin, the Cowboy and the Black dude.
