thank you for illustrating my point.

Disarm and pacify everyone. Have you not been paying attention?

Mass consumption is what we got to avoid the question that has no satisfactory answer (why we're here). Nobody is interested in personal sacrifice for a future that promises nothing. So they take what they can now until it is all gone.

COC and movetoqt commands work fine for me. I've played about 100 hours going back to the CW twice with no ill effects that I can tell so far. Even went to FH for a bit.

The whole AAA industry- with a few notable exceptions- is shooting for middle of the road and lowest common denominator to sell as much of their 'product' as possible while trying to keep a handle on expenses. It's why some studios freaked when they saw BG3 drop with hundreds of hours of meticulously crafted content to enjoy. "Overly ambitious" setting "unrealistic expectations". It's a multi billion dollar industry and taking chances is not in any investor's interests. So, no, I don't expect Beth to change much. Nor do I expect ESVI to be anything special. But, as many have already pointed out, they provide the best mod support- hands down. So until another studio/publisher steps up to take their place in this regard, Beth is the best we have.

It is the folly of newer generations to not learn from past mistakes and older generations to forget the lessons. Thus a vicious cycle repeats itself over and over with the stakes (meaning collateral damage) rising each time. We'll have peace, because those few of us that are left will just be struggling to survive for a very long time even under favorable conditions- which is not what we'll have when most of the planet is a wasteland. I've said it before and I'll say it again; We have to get off this rock to save humanity from itself.

You're in a different stage of your life is all. There will be times when you think about your past and maybe regret those times being gone. But it's important to always look ahead I think... to focus more on the now and tomorrow. Wisdom is what you have now and while it helps you day to day, it's important to share it whenever and wherever you can with other people regardless of age so they don't have to experience making the same mistakes you might have made reaching this point in your life. Granted, few will listen probably. But even if you can only teach one person an important lesson you've learned so that they can carry the torch even further, you can live with the satisfaction that you made a difference in someone's life and contributed to a better future for everyone. I figure I've given good advice to a few people in my later years and that makes me feel kind of proud- needed even. Maybe we'll all eventually learn to stop hating so much and try to understand each other more instead.:)

Yeah, there were many instances like that where it was very convenient to the plot even if it meant breaking with established lore without giving much of an alternative plausible explanation. Maximus brings back the wrong head to purposely try and deceive the BOS full well expecting the worst if found out- which is what should have happened. What happens instead is that the elder claps him on the shoulder telling him he's just what the BOS needs as a leader and that together they can rule the wastes?

It had "moments". From a lore standpoint (not really my strong suit. but okay), it felt like they were saying "Yeah, we want to pay a bit of homage to the original and you as a fan should love us for it. But it's ours and we can damn well do as we please". It's a kids ride at the FO theme park that teases tiny flashes of brilliance that ultimately don't materialize into anything very entertaining or interesting. For me in particular, their portrayal of the BOS as incompetent idiots in PA with no real sense of honor or purpose- however flawed it may be- felt very disingenuous and lazy as hell as did the big reveal that Vault-Tec had graduated from sadistic psychopathic scientist to genocidal maniac overlord with some middle management flunky as it's representative. Could be wrong about something here since I watched it once only paying half attention as soon as I started seeing stuff that just made my eyes roll. I think had they shown the awesome power and sheer terror of encountering a single Death Claw in a short scene, this series would have gained somewhat better reviews from everyone. Maybe they'll get it done in season 2.

Agree. Voice actors should be given full support to protect their work like any other artists. Besides, there are more than enough actors willing to do NSFW as it is and there's no reason to basically steal someone's signature sound. It's like stealing from the Beatles or something- you just don't do it.

Good info Karna. I personally don't use too many mods with this game since I haven't seen what I really wanted and the game is pretty damn good without them tbh.

Other devs groaned when they saw BG3 released because they knew they would have to step up their game (i.e. not just milk some tired existing franchise for all it was worth). BG3 is by no means perfect or worth all the hype it has received. But it was ambitious. The gold standard (as far as I'm concerned) is still TW3. The game is an almost flawless rollercoaster story ride with a wide, interesting world to explore with so many things to see and do. I usually play it again every 12-18 months or so and am still blown away at the careful craftsmanship, care to detail, and just plain love that went into it.

Adding a fomod installer with the option to add items to the leveled lists is nice and I see it done quite a bit from more well known authors. Not that hard to do either iirc. Some mod assets I absolutely want added to the leveled lists. But a very few I want to be unique one-of-a-kind that only I can obtain so I feel special. I've actually made quite a few special variants on weapons, armor, items and purposely left them out of the leveled list for this very reason since I have no plans to ever package the changes in a mod and share them.

Would love to see this happen in 2024 since the game is so much better now and Redmod has been out awhile. Would need to do some reading to see where the problems are and what could be done. Still pretty new to modding CDPR games though.

It really is. And yes.... sometimes the mods are just as good or better than content the devs released. But the whole point I'm making is why play exactly what the devs intended if you don't have to? I paid for the game for my entertainment and I'll use/make whatever is legally permissible to get the most out of it if I feel like it.
