Chailles

Rank 3. You only Rank 3 to unlock Master-level locks. Rank 4 is for like making it easier or something.

Okay, but from my understanding, in order to change galaxies, I have to find a portal, figure however to use the portal, and then switch galaxies.

For someone whose put in a few hours into the game multiple times as the game has been steadily updated, I didn't know about portals or even that switching galaxies was even a thing. So telling me I'm incorrect because it's NG+ COULD have fixed it for me is pretty disingenuous. How am I suppose to know that after going through 6 more galaxies that I can get what I wanted from the start?

Bethesda has been lowering the base carrying capacity for a while now. It was 300 in Skyrim. 200 in Fallout 4 I think. Around 100-150ish in 76. I can see why it's impacting people so much. Even more so when your ships carrying capacity is also limited.

Yeah! They make good for cleaning out NPCs who don't have enough credits to buy the expensive stuff but enough credits to be the useless junk.

You have no idea how long I kept rope in my inventory in BG3 thinking it'd actually be of use one day.

Look at this way, you've got everything you needed to fix complete. The game is uploaded the the storefront database. It's now a week before release. There will always be bugs to fix and no game will ever be completely bugfree (especially not games at this scale). At some point you have to release the game, so why not just release what you've been working on since when the game launches?

That's not an answer that people would have accepted either and no matter what answer was said, it would have been dissected and criticized by the syllable.

The point I'm trying to make here is that "optimize your game" doesn't help anybody. Especially not as an interview question. You might as well have asked "why didn't you make your game fun?"

I don't want to have to beat the game in order to finally enjoy it.

It doesn't fix the main problem I have with it. There's no magic to finding a new species of plant or animal because every other system has like 30 of them per planet/moon. Like whats the point of naming anything when you'll find something near identical to it in an hour?

Honestly, what do you expect someone to say when asked a question like that? There's no answer there.

Unless I'm completely mistaken here, modders didn't combine the buildings together, that's how they are by default. Mods, however, sometimes needed to break said system which resulted in massively degraded performance.

No Man's Sky still has the same problem it began with, although the landscapes are vastly improved. It doesn't matter what planet it is, there's nothing to distinguish it from the last planet other than what species owns the system, the flavor of hazard present, and the overall color.

No Man's Sky honestly has not enough planets with just dead barren empty planets. At least in Starfield, there's some magic in seeing actual fauna. You don't get that feeling in No Man's Sky because you've seen fauna and flora on the last 30 planets you've been to. You need those empty planets to make the planets with life actually feel special.
