Gaming

I think, yeah, that's another issue. It's got a very disparate kind of approach with a bunch of mechanics that aren't all related. I mean, that's not unusual for Bethesda, but I think I also forgot how much I prioritize in their other games and was kind of overwhelmed here and didn't really prioritize stuff like I do with Skyrim or Fallout.

And yeah, going to your example, boost packs was initially confusing to me. I get one from Constellation, telling me that now I should be able to get some height but then I realized I can't actually use it until I unlock the skill.

As for how I spent my 12 hours, I absolutely missed out on a lot. The game is massive, but the performance issues kind of prevented me from really getting into it gameplay-wise. Also fucked myself with some of the traits I picked, which I know you can get removed in-game pretty easily, but since you can't replace them, it feels like I might as well have not used any.

When it comes to mods, yeah. Problem is right now I'm on the Game Pass version, so Nexus has some but not a fortune of compatible stuff. I'll buy it probably winter sale on Steam, which will have much better support for mods. Hopefully Creation Kit comes out early next year as well. When that happens, the quality and scope of mods is going to explode.

I mean, I might give it another chance before then, but I'm content to wait a while. I'm pretty patient with all games and usually only play them a year or so after release. Only reason I played this on release is because of my Game Pass subscription. If I didn't have that, I wouldn't have bought it until like next year. Might still do that, buy it during the spring sale, rather than winter. No rush.
