I want to play a fucking RPG, where the actual game world reflects my choices.

If I wanted to play a sandbox with my own head canon I would never bother with all the Bethesda jank and play a Rockstar or Ubisoft game instead. At least those are competently made.

You're all over the place. I never said Fallout 4 is a great RPG. My point has been that Bethesda games are no longer RPG's so stuffing in outdated RPG skill points doesn't benefit them. If you want to play a fucking RPG, why have you been buying Bethesda games for the past 15 years at all? Like I said at the very start, play a real fucking RPG. This is like me picking up Tetris Attack and complaining it sucks because it isn't Tetris classic.

Rockstar and Ubisoft games don't offer any "head canon" options at all, so I don't know what the fuck you're going on bringing them up.

You are honestly proving my point about how fucking retarded the people who complain about this shit are. Especially if you're going to say that Rockstar of all people make competent games anymore.

Nigger, you're the one insisting that there's great roleplay in FO4 because you can leave power armor unused or something.

Every god damn day, I see 20+ articles on fucking mods in my news feed. That's right, mods. Are they ever any impressive kind of mods, like adding a new campaign, total rebalances or something wholly unique? Lol, NO! Every single god damn article is some dumb shit like "dis guy putted da Goku frum da Draygoon Bull into udder fightin' game, ain't dat neat?".


Unpopular opinion time: Most mods are fucking gay and cringe, you put all this time and effort into fixing/improving someone else's work, instead of your own. You're a programming cuck. The vast majority of mods that aren't basically patches are for coomers and people who absolutely need to shove other out of place properties into places they don't belong (ponymod faggots are the perfect example). Mods can be amazing and offer great improvements to old games, but the vast majority are dog shit and the people who made them should be ashamed of themselves.

Yeah, and some people act like a game is worthless unless you install an enormous number of mods. I'm not talking about broken ones that really need them like VTMB, I mean like, Morrowind. It gives me the same sort of feeling like if I saw someone dumping half a bottle of ketchup on their dinner. Like, if you really can't enjoy your meal without that much ketchup covering it, maybe you don't actually like that dish, and should order something else.

The recent trend of modding the hell out of Skyrim so it controls like a Souls game is so fucking retarded, but now people act like it's needed.

Like...just play a Souls game?

Persona 5 is over-rated, Persona 4 is only good because of it's characters; it's plot is pretty predictable.

Persona 2 did a better job at highlighting the characters as friends than Persona 4 does, and Persona 3 is the best in the series, because it's about a group of kids who all use each other eventually teaming up to save the world.

What I disagree is that Fallout is a RPG. It's not. Player choices and level up skills don't make it an RPG.

Exactly. It's an "action RPG" now, but even that name is a misnomer with how prevalent these progression systems and dialogue trees have become in action games.
 
The term "role-playing game" has no utility anymore. It started out as an extremely vague catch-all description of pen-and-paper games and has only gotten worse over time.

At this point, it seems to be something like "game where player is explicitly presented with some numbers of some kind, which usually increase over time" and nothing more.

When people talk about "role-playing" in Skyrim, they are talking about digital larping where you self impose arbitrary limitations to be heckin authentic in your larp role.

"digital larping" is an oxymoron

"role play" has absolutely no meaning anymore because it's something different for everyone.

correct, an autistic display of dress up and make believe about playing a heckin faithful characterino

That's just role playing. You can't "digitally larp" because the LA stands for Live Action.

Like are you just making fun of role players, or do you actually think that somehow it's less autistic if there are numbers and math forcing you to stay in the role?

Pretty much. It's distinct with tabletop, I make a character and act out a role in D&D or Cyberpunk. I'm not acting out a role to play fucking Yahtzee or Chess.

Then you get to video games and it's kind of like the distinction between stubble and a beard: at what point does one end and another begin? If you get the right combination of character customisation, progression systems, and story, some people will call it "an RPG" and others still will call it "not an RPG."
