    A Rockstar version of Starfield/Fallout/Elderscrolls

    Bethesda has become so goddamned lazy in their game mechanic design. Its 2026…an NPC should be at least smart enough to know I’m still fucking there if I leave their field of view.

    Or whether I’ve already joined and completed their mortal enemies quest line and behave accordingly towards me as a result…

    Or even just realising that of your company just got hacked, even if you didn’t witness it, it might have something to do with the stranger that was fucking around in your server room…

    Or at least react when I bump into them…

    I dearly love Bethesda’s open worlds. I love the settings, the stories etc… There are no games I would rather “live in”, for lack of a better word. But those worlds deserve far far better NPC/faction mechanics
