This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Dialogue system that gives you 3+ options which change literally nothing

No feedback when hitting enemies, besides generic blood splashing and maybe a stumble

Way more health than is necessary or interesting on enemies

Combat system is mindless and boring

Quests are full of "go to this cookie-cutter dungeon, clear it out and bring me the MacGuffin at the end" on loop.

The game has lots of bugs that were in the previous 2 games, and were patched in the fan-patches of both the previous 2 games.

2? More like:

The game has lots of bugs that were in the previous 7 games, and were patched in the fan-patches of all of the previous 7 games.

I encountered bugs playing Starfield that I also experienced in unmodified Morrowind, a game from 20 years and 7 games before SF

Its pathetic and embarrassing afaic, I'd be fired if my work had the same issues someone else fixed 7 iterations ago and i keep breaking it again

Out of curiosity what's the morrowind bug?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

I legit can't remember now which specific one it was a year later. I think it had something to do with items and physics, I just remember being incredibly frustrated at seeing something I'd also seen in a semi-recent unmodded Morrowind playthrough (my first ever so the bugs were FRESH in my mind as I'd never seen them in a playthrough before)

And yet I still see people posting Skyrim screenshots and praising it... What a mediocre p.o.s.

> No

Okay, well I'm gonna take that as a yes

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

No, but actually yes but not right now.

All dialogue options have previews that are nothing like what you actually say (Looking at you Cyberpunk) so you try to apologise for someones loss but the actual dialogue is your character being an utter piece of shit without warning. Getting the true ending and several important pieces of gear require you to never be mean to multiple NPCs.

NPC: My husband was killed!

1: Sorry for your loss...
2: It's about time!

1: pfft sorry for your loss 🙄 tell someone who cares 🥱

2: It's about time we found the MF who did this! Let's go hunt him down!

Reminds me at the start of witcher 3 my brother was playing and some thugs come annoy you, one option was something like 'I disagree' which sounds reasonable, so he picked it. That option has Gerald insulting them and jumping straight into a fight, shit escalated fucking quickly lol

Do you want to die?

A. No
B. No way
C. Definitely not

And one randomly answers "yes" and you need to restart from a save.
