I would be shocked if the game was ground breaking. I fully expect more of the "NPCs just go back to default if you kill their buddy and wait a while" like we've had for 20 years. Plus all sorts of other jank and nonsense. I just don't think Microsoft can pull off something new and great.

But even if they did: fuck em.

    My personal favourite is as long as it says "hidden" they won't know you're stealing from them while you three feet away.

    The worst I ever saw was in Starfield. I had to hack a computer. Instead of waiting for him to leave his office I just knelt down behind his computer monitor until he couldn't apparently see me....or remember I was just there...or hear me.

    That lazy shit is so egregious in 2026. I've played mid-quality AA games with better NPCs (Greedfall and Elex come to mind)
