That segment of the game is the way that it is for two reasons:
Wait, forced? You're telling me that there is no way for a charismatic character to simply charm or talk their way into getting the artifact peacefully because Emil wanted to point a finger at you and say "You're the bad guy now!!" later on in the game?
These are the only ways to finish that mission:
See, I used to think number 1, but then number 2 made me think he's not clever enough for that.
What Bugthesda (and AAA studios in general) don't understand is that people aren't gonna play your game simply for the sake of it. People are going to play it because it is FUN. If you game is ugly, and filled with tedious GAAS timesink bullshit and preachy DEI nonsense people are going to find better things to do with their time. I like playing Skyrim, but if you told me if I had to clear all the word wall dungeons ten times in a row to unlock all of the dragon shouts, I'd tell you to go fuck yourself!
But you're not supposed to feel bad, because Petrov is a bad guy. How do you know he's a bad guy? Because he's voiced by Stephen Russell.
Hell, you could just take a stand and be like "Oh well, guess we're not getting this one right now." and leave and just have him get attacked by The Hunter off camera.
No, it's definitely #1. The only reason why that whole story beat with Petrov even exists in the first place is to make Constellation seem unsympathetic enough for the Hunter's attack to fulfill the hubris/nemesis pairing. The Hunter even explicitly tells you that you're no different from him (since you, also, are willing to obtain the artifacts by immoral methods).
i don't know which thread i said it in, but OW almost feels like a parody of Starfield, your character isn't special, your powers are a side effect from being a test subject, the explanation for everywhere looking so sparse is that woke retards led to a massive competency crisis and the only white men you meet are mostly jaded and the only ones actually good at their jobs rather than "good enough"
It helps that Outer Worlds is Fallout-lite that can be enjoyed as a treat if you like New Vegas or even Fallout 3/4. Starfield is...a poor man's Fallout 4 but also a poor man's Skyrim. There is a reason to play Outer Worlds if you like New Vegas since we're never getting another New Vegas, and the game is just "good enough" with DLC that you can fool yourself that you're playing a spiritual successor. With Starfield, there is absolutely no reason not to just go back to Fallout 4 or Skyrim if you enjoy toddslop, as Starfield offers absolutely nothing other than flying dragons that look like spaceships over these two games and their tens of thousands of mods you can use to tailor-craft your own personal experience. Starfield has only a taste of these kinds of mods, and it's getting abundantly clear that we will never get a Starfield mod community that is anywhere as big as the other Bethesda titles, making this yet another game that "modders cannot fix" like Fallout 76. Outer Worlds doesn't have this problem, it "just works" outside the box, much like the games of old, and the few mods it does have are addons that can be taken or left behind, not something you NEED to enjoy the experience.
I thought the real reason for it was to force you to get a bounty on you so you have to access the bounty system.
Simping for Outer Worlds is a new low. "It's an actual RPG" it's no a good RPG, or a bad RPG but an utter dogshit one. You have like 20 dialogue choices where it skill checks you. And those choices don't change anything. Character build also doesn't matter because the game is so dogshit and easy. The companions all suck ass and half of them don't get companion quests and the ones that do are like go here, talk missions. Add on top that the world building is terrible, nobody is likeable, they all talk like retards.
The Combat is utter dogshit. It's the same dogshit as Cyberpunk. Where you kill everyone with ease, get a new higher level weapon and kill everyone with ease again. If you don't get a higher level weapon you can't do shit. The only good idea they had was the combat injector mechanic. Somebody competent should steal that. Maps are even worse. Environments are boring and everything is instanced like it's an MMO. But the biggest sin of this terrible game is how boring it is. I struggle to remember anything enjoyable. I finished it mostly out of spite
"Fallout Lite". That is more insulting to fallout than the TV show and the BoS games combined. The Outer worlds is just your average "coporations bad", liniear larping as open world open form dogshit modern RPG. In all Fallout games even Todds once you get out of the baby zone you can go and do what ever you want in what ever order you want to a point. And once you got somewhere there was a decent chance that somewhere felt different from the places you have been to before. Not in the Outer Worlds, everything feels the same they just changed to color pallets slightly, everyone acts the same and the story of each place(in so much as there is a story to a place in the game) is the same. The problems Starfield has are the same and even more major for the Outer Worlds.
If you consider the Outer Worlds better than anything that's a problem with you.
If I am so wrong then it should be so easy to correct me.
Tim Cain was and is a hack fraud. The people who made Fallout 1 and 2 so great left and didn't come back to Obsidian years later, some completely left the games industry and the ones that came back for FNV left afterwards. The fact that you think this is some contest between the man that made Morrowind and the man that was employed when some good games were made speaks for it's self.
Oh yeah? He's certainly making you cry right now!
Isn't this the faggot praising the Fallout TV show?
He's certainly a faggot and he certainly made a better game than Starfield. That's all I need to know.
If the game is so good you should probably tell us why then instead of acting like baby's first 4chan troll. But I am guessing you didn't even play it.
