    People say that it’s a heavily polished game but 4/5 of my characters I had to throw away because of some bug that made their build useless, or put the story in a state that I wasn’t happy with. And my 20 charisma builds might as well have been 1 charisma because I failed Every. Single. Roll.

    If EA put out the exact same game it would have been blasted.

        The biggest fallacy I felt from XCom was putting a miss statistic on everything.

        You need to walk to work. You take a step forward. You take a step forward. You take a step forward. (Repeat x 1000) You fail your step forward, fall forwards bending your knee back, and become permanently paralyzed! You’re also still expected at the office.

        In an action game, if I miss an enemy with an assault rifle…I just shoot again in the same second.
