Those expansive games are such a crock of shit too. How many pointless sidequests exist just to pad out a shitty main plot? Aside from New Vegas, I can't think of too many games with side quests that didn't just tickle that part of my brain that needs to collect all the things.
Dragon Age Inquisition was such a bad offender with this. Throw in some more dialogue options in the main story and drop the collection quests/empty maps.
Skyrim just bugged me because the side quests took me so far out of the plot. It's a series of interesting adventures, yes, but nothing that made me feel something.
I picked up DA: Origins solely because games where you're building a kingdom or something from the ground up are absolutely irresistible to me. Goddamn that game was dogshit
You hated Origins???
That was best in the series???
Ooooof
I liked it enough to finish it, but that was about it.
Tbf it took them like 8 years to make or whatever and it's their best game. Every other game sucks in comparison.
Really puts things into perspective
Based on the Jason Schreier exposés on Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem, I wouldn't be surprised if the first 7 years or so were just them huffing their farts and then panicking and making the actual game in a year.
Lol, Origins is also by far the best in that series.
I think the first one was the best for its time, but it would be borderline unplayable now
I remember the real-time w/ pause being kind of chunky and awkward, but it wasn't that bad. I imagine it probably plays better on PC than it did on console back in the day.
