PC Update Blues

@Riamus They could have easily kept the way of playing however you want and change the systems for the balance, wich is the reason we got told tehy changed things at least. . That wouldn´t really be big problem. If their vision was looting heavily as a must, why let us play different for nearly 10 years?

I won't try to guess their reasons for doing things.  But I think it is pretty clear that their intent is to have looting be one of the bigger parts of the game.  There could be any number of reasons why this was not as big a part earlier in development but that doesn't mean it isn't what they intended.

And you can still play differently if you want.  Perhaps you need a mod, but that doesn't mean you can't play the way you want.  When they add bandits, there will be people who don't like them.  Does that mean they shouldn't add them just because they weren't there before?  Of course not.  Those who don't want them can use a mod to remove them.  I may be one of those depending on how they turn out.

The game offers more modding options than most other games.  They let you download and play most older versions, which is a bit unusual for developers.  There are plenty of ways to play the game the way you want.  For me, I usually give myself a boost in the beginning of a new game because I really don't like dealing with that anymore.  I enjoy the later game when I can start really building stuff.  Does that mean that they should change things back so that the game progression is faster like it was before A21?  No, it doesn't.  I preferred the faster progression, but that doesn't mean my preference is any more valid than anyone else's.  I have options to play the way I want and I use them.

If they are anything like the raiders in the wasteland mod it´s gonna be horrible. Heard a shot not even seeing anyone and got killed instantly. Hope this doesn´t turn out like a pure shooter were you have to check every possible location on or in any building before moving on in a city or town. That would suck big time. They aren´t everywhere in the wasteland mod, but still it´s kinda annoying.

But the mod has to work with what is in the game already, so that´s propably not really an indicator. And someone on YT who was at twitch con, i think it was Guns, Nerds and Steel, who talked to them, said they might be in POI´s only. Well we will see. Question is just when. If this goes on, they might be a "DLC" after release.

I am very well aware of modding. But seeing that they will continue working on the game after release, it´s always a bit luck based if your favorited mods still get updated after the game got updated. That can be annoying af. So i would prefer to have not needing too many mods to get it to my liking.
