When it comes to world design, what do you prefer? Open world, linear world or branching linear world? If it was in my hands... I would ban every developer from doing open world games. I can't think of a single game other than Outer Wilds where the open world actually added anything to the game...

My favorite world design is in CRPG games like Wasteland 2. It includes a hub-based world and overworld travel. Your choices can impact each hub, changing the balance of power and affecting the story and character interactions.

Oh yeah, I loved wasteland 3 until the save data got corrupted 馃拃 was playing it coop with a friend. That model of world design does wonders if it's properly executed. Having your choice of path alter the story gives agency to the player. 20 $degen

F 馃拃 Yeah, I've seen a lot of complaints about it on Steam. I'm sorry you experienced that. Did you start over and beat the game? I had a similar issue with CP2077, but I was only a few hours in and managed to start over

Nah, we left the game therr sadly. The good part is that we played it on gamepass, so at least it's not lost money.

Cool, I also played it on game pass! I finished the game but liked it a lot less than Wasteland 2. For some reason, it felt like your actions had less impact on the world

It's kinda funny how the further technology progresses in gaming, the more restrictive games are. I feel like old RPGs gave way more agency to the player when it came to the story.

True, it feels like they try to appeal to more casual audiences. The drop in roleplaying from Fallout 2 to Fallout 3 was significant (not even talking about later entries, though New Vegas was better in terms of roleplaying and changing the world). The change from Morrowind to Oblivion also showed a big shift
