imagine if skyrim was the most popular game of all time by an orderof magnitude and people caleld video games ‘skyrims’. and it cost ninety dollars and took up half the average computers hard drive. and then peoel would be on nexus being like ‘hi guys check out my farming sim skyrim mod’ and it just had you kiling draugr but on a farm. and people were like ‘yeah i think that you just cant do farm simulation in video games’ and if anyone brought up stardew valley theyd be like ‘okay well first of all its presumptuous to assume i can afford a second video game or have space for it on my hard drive. and Second of all when i play skyrim i just run back and forth around the towns picking up all the cabbages for seven hours on end so i don’t see why i’d need a whole game programmed to be about farming. i can play skyrim the way i want to. stop gatekeeping gaming.’ anyway thats what its like to like ttrpgs other than dungeons and dragons.

This was Fallout 4 for me— which is basically Skyrim, but set in a post-apocalyptic future. Same game engine, even.

My settlements were built up into cities. I practically rebuilt the wasteland. Over and over and over. I passed 15,000 hours of playtime sometime during Covid.

    It was a companion from a mod expansion pack, because 1) he was gay, and because 2) he said, just the sweetest things constantly. In fact, that might’ve been my most favorite thing about the game: the fact that you could have same-sex relationships with pretty much any companion you met in the game. (although this dynamic started with fallout 3 and carried on with fallout new Vegas)

    Three cheers for Bethesda 🏳️‍🌈

    Who is that crazy guy? Who was the boss of Nuka World? Yeah, had a “relationship” with him too. had a fun time, imagining that voice actor recording all of those lines (“ I never imagined having these thoughts, but it feels so right!”)… yeah, it was fun, making him my husband, lol. So loving. So tender. He cared. 😘😝

    Fallout 4 was really about the exploration and discovery of a new world and a new self as much as it was about anything else

    Yes, it was definitely Gage I was thinking about. He turned out to be deeper and more interesting than one would’ve thought. too bad he wasn’t very well developed.

    Romancing Preston Garvey was kind of boring… just like everything else about him. More shallow and less interesting than one would’ve thought. completely 2-dimensional.
