    Thanks! Yeah I wouldn’t say I didn’t enjoy the writing of the DLC, but, after doing 2 hours of fetch quests, another 2 hours of fetch quests was a bit rough. Though, I don’t think I would have liked Theresa as much as I do without it. So there’s that.

    Glad to hear about the weapon combos.

    combat is difficult until you and Henry know what they’re doing.

    So I shouldn’t be that upset that 1v1 bandits are very hard and anything more is actually impossible for me?

    I’m definitely enjoying it, though, now that I feel that the world has opened up, I don’t feel like I can progress the main story(killing bandits after ginger) so I’m sorta just treading water, not sure how to progress lol




  • My biggest thing personally is the UI. Which is also getting a facelift. It’s not super intuitive. I think the overhauled tutorials, along with some UI changes are going to make this game exponentially more accessible.

    I’m not a X4 vet either. I have a couple hundred hours. Which, the X4 vets will have saves with hundreds or thousands of hours. But, I feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface. I’m not sure what the price is. I bought it on sale about a year ago. Though, even if I spent $70(which it is not) I definitely have gotten enough enjoyment to justify that! I think it goes on sale fairly regularly though if the price is a bit too much for you now!




  • I agree. And I most definitely understand, you don’t have, not should you expect a right to privacy the second you leave your front door. (Arguably before that too, but that’s neither here nor there.)

    I think what bothers me most is, I don’t want, let’s say my walking pattern in a city, monitored(it already is) to then have some camera see that I’m having a “bad day” then in inundated with ads that, “based on my profile, x emotion shows I’ll spend money here.” Idk. It just feels very dystopian, if that reasoning makes sense. Though, it’s sorta like climate change, it’s inevitable and the individual is essentially powerless.


  • Well, I don’t think that’s the profound bit, more, that, you have an army of video surveillance robots. The time you are walking down the street being recorded is only ever increasing. Granted, every official is going to come at it from the “reduced crime” stat, which, surveillance does combat, but, it’s a slippery slope.

    If they had cause, I’m sure the majority of my private conversations, and where I’ve been have all been recorded and could be used against me in court. Am I a criminal? No. I’m not “scared” of it necessarily. I don’t think it’s ethical though.




  • Honestly, beats me. I shouldn’t say I live in goodhue specifically either, I live in goodhue county. Zumbrota specifically, we also have our own PD too. Not sure the rational behind it. Goodhue has a population of like 1800 and zumbrota a population of like 3000. Maybe that’s big enough to warrant a PD, but I wouldn’t think so.

    City politics aren’t really my thing, but, now that I’ve lived in this small town for a couple years, it’s becoming more crucial. So, maybe I’d have a better answer if I’ve lived here longer.
