There are parts of the story and maps we simply canāt get to because they arenāt there yet (I imagine about 30 to 50%), and thereās a limit to how much we can improve our relationship with the various characters (which means that thereās probably a significant amount of voice acting we canāt hear yet), all of this clearly indicated as provisionally cut content (āyou might be able to do this in the futureā, ācanāt go there yetā, āwhat happened after this is, for now, literally indescribableā, that kind of thing).
Thereās also whatās clearly provisional concept art from time to time, and plenty of placeholder character models and art (plus keepsakes, and fish, the later even having generic descriptions), and thereās almost certainly missing gods and characters (though thereās no indication of which those might be and in which number).
So, yeah, itās not complete, by a long shot.
That said, Iām fairly certain that thereās already as much content and story as in the complete first game, if not more, or at least it feels like it. And itās just as fun.
Several characters, all keepsakes, all fish except, I think, one, at least one background elementā¦
The voice acting is all there
Iād be very surprised if the number of voiced characters isnāt significantly higher in the finished game. And, of course, weāre missing the top end of the relationship interactions with all characters, which will definitely be voice acted.
the mechanics are all there
I wouldnāt be surprised if we get some new mini games in certain parts of the map we canāt access yet.
Apart from these minor nitpickings, however, I completely agree (well, except that I havenāt had any crashes or significant bugs); Iām already enjoying the game as much as the first one, and I definitely feel I got my moneyās worth, which is sadly quite unusual for too many supposedly complete games these days.
Understanding hate as an emotional response can help you recognize your feelings about something or someone and be curious about where those feelings are coming from. This awareness will give you time to gather more information and imagine the other personās perspective....
āOn display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.ā
āThatās the display department.ā
āWith a flashlight.ā
āAh, well, the lights had probably gone.ā
āSo had the stairs.ā
āBut look, you found the notice, didnāt you?ā
āYes,ā said Arthur, āyes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying āBeware of the Leopard.

Itās a good adaptation, but not necessarily a faithful one (though, frankly, Iām not deep enough into the lore to tell, or care).
Looks like New Vegas might show up in season two, so weāll see if and how they make the timelines fit (though if they do itāll have to be a pretty tight fit, seems like).
Cain appreciated the performances and storytelling, but singled out how the show nailed the Fallout āvibeā as its biggest achievement. āI was just looking at all the props,ā he said of one scene. āI realized after a few minutes went by that I had not followed the dialogue at all, because I was so engrossed by it...
UE has evolved and changed over time to use new hardware features and adapt to new player needs.
Gamebryo is still the exact same engine that ran Morrowind, just running worse games on faster hardware with more memory. It even still has some of the same bugs, which community patch mods have had to fix for every single game (except Starfield, because thatās become such a clusterfuck of bugs and poor design that even the most dedicated modders have given up).
Eh, kidsā futureās fucked anyway due to global warming and rampant enshittification, might as well sacrifice whatās left of it for the greater good. š¤·āāļø
Now, feeding them alive to the big cats at the zoo, on the other hand, would serve the same purpose, and entertain the kitties to boot, which the brain control parasites my kittens have infected me with tell me is a good thing, and since we donāt eat them or anything that eats them thereās no risk of prion spread, at least until deer chronic wasting disease inevitably spreads to humans and kills us all.
To anyone whoās played the games itās very evidently exactly the same engine used in Morrowind, running on faster hardware and with less functionality due to it being unable to handle the higher quality graphics. (Morrowind had mostly open cities - except for Vivec - and flying, for instance; later games had to sacrifice those and add more and more loading screensā¦)
If I recall correctly you meet a guy who did that with agility (or was it acrobatics?) just after leaving Seyda Neen. It didnāt end well for him.
(Also, I havenāt played that damn game in probably over two decades; how the fuck do I still remember that townās nameā¦? How the fuck do I still remember Fargothā¦!?)
3; 2 didnāt have body models, only 2D faces (and event artwork, but there was no nudity in that).
3 has full 3D body models, which are used for events, court, and so on, and itās not unusual to encounter characters (often your own) who prefer to be in the buff, for religious or cultural reasons or due to specific events, traits, or bugs.
I mean, maybe itās trying, I donāt know, but Iām not even trying to keep ublock origin up to date (maybe it updates itself in the background?) and I havenāt noticed any difference (or ads) other than the normal progressive enshittification of both platform and channels, and Iām pretty certain I live in the worldā¦ EDIT: And before anyone asks, I am logged in, I mostly use YouTube through the subscriptions page, so being logged in doesnāt seem to be causing any problems for me either.
