Everything related to the synths or the institute is easily the worst part of the game.
Right after the settlement-mechanics that are forced on you.

>>3474314
there's a way to get around that kind of. before you go visit preston go to all the locations in the game with settlements and take over them. if that means the people currently living there die under msyterious circumstances so be it. than you have all of the settlements getting your help and you dont gotta go on preston missions. I think I ended up with only like 7 settlers in the main settlement (your home town) and my def system kept it safe. also who said you need to play thru the main story at all. be a scav who has a base or 2 and dont do settlements.

>>3474314
>remember the settlement-building shit
you only need to make 500 wall-mounted shelves at the start of the game and the teleporter setup at the end, you can completely ignore crafting in between

>>3464575
Vault girls don't look like this because Bethesda has godawful character artists

>>3474314
>I wish there was a mod the remove that whole part of the game.

>P.S. So, I flew back to my hometown for a funeral. While it was a sad time, I am grateful for the opportunity spend time with family there. While there, I went to a store to pick up medications and a man standing next to me dropped item without realizing it.
>I picked it up to help him and then the man collapsed. His hand was shaking uncontrollably. I rushed to help him and then swiftly went to alert the store's staff so they could call in an ambulance. But as the staff went back to the man... he was gone.

I was only level ~90 when I killed Ultra Nulgath for my first 51% weapon and Drago is way easier.
I recommend lv95 and a 51% if you plan on being the DPS often, maybe Absolution if you're LoO.

I have an Idea that basicslly comes down to making final fantasy final inspired by the great RPGs of old while, at the same time, looking at modern sandbox adventures games, like totk

>>3474450
My reply in another thread:
Id make a sandbox final fantasy highly inspired by old school crpgs like Wizardry 7 and other more modern non-rpg titles, with ff1 in the mix.
5 member party and you get to start with your Basic Job-characters. Games lets you accumulate characters of other Jobs, being there, ideally, 2 characters of each job.
You have a heroes of light Quest as the main objective, in which you must defeat the big Evil in his sky temple, but you cant really reach there at the beginning.
Like Elminage, you need to collect some mcguffins to access the a tower that leads you to the space station.
That what the sandbox is for. In Zelda totk-fashion you wander a nice world, filled with dungeons, Villages, Monsters Lairs etc to hunt these Dungeons where the endgame treasures are hidden, make little sidequests to access them, by solving the problems they cause, and also to get new characters (like world of Ruin ff6) and their jobs.
When the mcguffins are collected, through the clearing of increasingly high level Dungeons, you access the Tower and are allowed to beat the final boss after clearing his space station Dungeon.
The game world doesnt even need to be huge, but simply full of things to do.
Id suggest a 3d top view pov, Bravely style, but with fog of war, for Dungeons and a more zelda-like camera for overworld travel.
Turn based combat with ATB, simply because that is a staple of the series.
Expansive bestiary, with effort put into Monster lore, and really, great world lore in general, which is a thing that generates a lot of organic interest for the game.
Dungeons must be really fun and expansive for It to work, so the best dungeon crawlers must be the source of inspiration here.
Classes must feel inspired and have some degree of complexity
Combat must offer risk, permadeath, in fact, could be an option. Though you should, like ff1 did back in its days, be allowed to revive characters at the city church/clinic. Make phoenix dawns extremely rare

>There were strategy guides everywhere even before the great internet boom so I don't think it was that much of an issue.

It would still require you to either have access to the guide itself or someone who did. Outside that most game secrets and stratagems where figured out through group discussion and experimentation. It's why we had so many YOU CAN TOTALLY REVIVE AERITH GUYS rumors and shit.

>>3474266
You had to get your folks to drive you to the store and then you had to hope they had a guide for the game you were stuck in. Kids now can just open their smart phone and look at google immediately when they get stuck. Completely different.

This is really important so pay attention. The issue isn't whether or not a game is hard or not, its whether or not the content you are consuming is shallow and lazy. Like everyone can enjoy watching a trashie movie once in awhile, but no one wants to be around someone who consumes trash all the time. Like the guy who only plays final fantasy games and types up giant text walls on wiki theories or has hundreds of hours in elder scrolls, that person is a smelly retard and needs to fuck off. We should have 20 good threads for every 1 thread on the trash you play, but instead we have 1 good thread for every 20 pretty much identical threads on the absolute goyslop you play. Its really that simple. Can't play shit games all the time and people are politely giving you a push in the right direction instead of pointing out that you're an unlikable subhuman retard and an enormous burden on everyone around you.

>>3473978
Some people do their best to play games in the most autistic unfun manner and complain about it online. Best to ignore.

Is the game actually unfinished?
It feels so barebones.

Dude all the best games come from schizos stealing assets. Real outsider art shit.

>>3473624
The game has absolutely zero depth.

I don't know what the fuck they were doing with this to be completely honest.

It's the every character interaction is this strange predictable one liner that each character bounces off one another.

There's almost no actual dialogue. I can't say I've ever experienced this in three decades of playing RPGs.

Also, the cooking minigame is out right broken. It doesn't work at intended and you can literally pick the same three combinations and win every single cooking contest.

I am finishing it the remaining few hours and forgetting it exists.

nowadays, yes
back then, it could be excused because pretty much all they had was blobbers, 3d was just coming around, especially for big rpgs

but all the systems are complete shit, the quests are all shit, the dialog is horrendous and the world is a chore to explore
I've literally played all Bethesda games and I can even enjoy Arena and Daggerfall, Morrowind is the ONLY one that has zero redeeming qualities.

>>3466116
Morrowind was technically just an offline mmo. Thats why the combat is just auto attack and the whole thing is a grind.

>>3466116
Morrowind is actually a point-and-click game, that's why you point and click

Shiren 4 is a weird game

>>3473920
ah, i see, thanks for that. i guess "the second shiren game that was made," would've been a better way to put it. my first run on hard mode made it to floor 10, so i'm feeling pretty optimistic about clearing it a little quicker (though i only needed around 45 or so attempts to clear shiren 1)
and that's interesting, i'm gonna have to try that next. shiren 1 sfc also has that trap maze dungeon for gaibara as postgame so i wanna try that out too... this is quite a series of games. i don't generally care for roguelikes but this one's been fun so far.

>>3446615
also now that i've finished shiren 1 sfc once, i can confirm that runs past the first clear don't start you out with a free onigiri, which will probably make things pretty rough

It's not like I know where they were going with things. I don't think they really knew either. Beside some obvious revelation like the heroine being the reincarnation of a goddess or something.

I don't have a problem with the isekai setup and OP stats. I just want to see a conclusion.
