Had Starfield been contained to like a dozen star systems with way denser planets it probably would have done better. Its just too damn big. And BGS is scared to death to go for what everyone really cares about, the species that built The Armillary. Had they focused on that I’d still be locked in. I like the game. But its too big. They went all the way in on the “kill, loot, return” playstyle and neglected everyone else. I never cared about that shit. I hated it in F4. Give me lore, story, details, actual faction choices that actually matter.
My very first playthrough of Fallout 4 I sided with The Institute because I had plans to take over and free the synths. Imagine my fuckin’ surprise when the credits rolled. They lost the plot long ago. And if they don’t have a “come to jesus” moment and figure that shit out then ES6 might be their last game. Big Daddy Microsoft isn’t gonna keep humoring Todd and Emil. They want their goddamn money back and a cargo ship more as interest.
It’s not just Indiana. It’s literally everywhere in the country.
Hospital “groups” (cartels) are a fkin plague.
They build or buy the biggest hospital around. Then buy up all the smaller clinics and whatnot. Close them and funnel all the Healthcare traffic through a handful of hospitals that are ran on skeleton crews. Nurses are overworked. Rural folks are just completely screwed.
Private Equity doing what Private Equity does.
By any means necessary.
