I get the feeling that the level of popularity was a bit of a surprise, and that its warranted expanding some features beyond what was initially planned. I can see a lot of features becoming massive time sinks with diminishing returns otherwise.
Not sure why this is downvoted, radiant quests were a big feature in Skyrim, and were technically kinda impressive, but still repetitive. Likewise, quests for the College of Bards were mostly just a dungeon fetch quests and things.
It's still a great game, but it was great for the bits that were handcrafted.
But give it 5-10 years and I'd be very interested to see another pass at procedural generation using machine learning, especially dialogue, could open the doors to more creativity than would be possible when doing it all by hand!
Thanks man!
It's a failed state that 'elects' terrorists who have destroyed any actual opportunity for economic independence or peace.
There's no way forward with Hamas in charge IMO. But what can be done. Any kind of 'go in and fix it' from Israel is going to be terrible in terms of optics even if done with complete benevolence, which it won't, even if they're not as bad.
They could just annex it and move forward with a highly inclusive approach, give Palestine the quality of life they deserve. But that wouldn't sit right with many, for quite fair reasons. Leave a power vacuum? Unlikely to go well.
I think Palestine needs external support and guidence to stand on its own and be a functional state. I'd say that Egypt or Jordan would 'look' best to do that. But it raises a huge number of problems.
At the moment it's basically festering, and things will never improve under the current leadership. What they demand is not reasonable or acceptable, and what they will do until they (Hamas) get what they want is also unacceptable.
So really, it's a question of whether Palestine will ever deal with Hamas themselves, and if not, who else can/should.
CA will do literally anything to avoid making Medieval 3.
It's not even both side bad. Fuck colonial Russia, fuck the Hamas butchers that wouldn't waste a breath before slitting the throats of anyone that leftists support.
Why the fuck are these people supporting these absolute scum that stand against any progressive ideals.
I mean, what are their salaries? I genuinely don't know, one would assume that a specialised job like that would command a pretty solid salary, and the assumption would be that working on a project like this would get them to the top of the list for applications to other companies.
I don't know how the job was advertised, but seeing how the industry works from the outside, I would never assume a job for life at a game studio, but you could still count on security after working on a project like this.
I work a steady job, it's hard, and the pay is okay for me, I suspect a game dev will earn several times what I do, part of which is due to the short term, or at least risky nature of the roles, the rest would be down to the specialist skills.
I don't really think that forming a union signifies that at all, I'd say it's more likely down to the ongoing working conditions.
Because you can always go and get a warehousing job or similar, it's steady, but kinda boring and lower pay.
The money may keep rolling in for those who invested the most and took the largest risks. But that's irrelevant IMO. You take a job for the pay that's offered, and it lasts as long as it does, how long that is depends on the kind of role.
I'm making assumptions, but I think everyone here is too. But I do particularly resent the 'slaves' comment as it is disrespectful of the employees, and diminishes actual slavery which is bigger than ever.
Man am I tired of being shafted for not having kids, the when it comes to holidays, covering for other staff and things, employees with kids always take priority and employees without don't have an 'excuse'. Extending that to layoffs is extremely toxic and punitive to younger workers.
Huh? They don't have a monopoly in any space, and have significant competitors. And I don't really see how they are slowing down innovation. I think it's fair to say that Nvidia are investing significanly in R&D, and is driving innovation more than anyone else in the industry for the moment.
Which makes them superior, which is why they are used. Cost can't be ignored any more than the torque or speed, speccing parts that are considerably more expensive that achieve equivalent results is bad engineering unless you have a very specific application that requires it.
If it was 'objectively inferior' we wouldn't use them. You build to your requirements, not by playing top trumps with competing technologies while ignoring the cost.
