I think a lot of the flak could’ve been avoided, if they had been bolder and more creative with mechanics and systems. A lot of world and narrative blandness could relative easily be mitigated via ”actually” interesting gameplay (mechanics and presentation) and world interactivity.

And Itemization.

I'd be very satisfied with the game as is, if the systems were more intricate / more rewarding/unique in case of itemization.

That's right now. The more mediocre games they release, the more it degrades the Obsidian brand. At least that's my hope.

To be fair, I have an unhealthy amount of JRPG Platinium Trophies. Including FF X (and VII, XII, XIII, XIII-2, LR and WOFF, but they are all a joke compared to 0:00 chocobo), Star Ocean 4+5, a few Tales Games, Persona 4+5 and all Kingdom Hearts Games except 3 and Dream Drop Distance.

So, much so that hunderds of hour long JRPG's are nearly the only plats I actually have.

... Which may not be the healthiest gaming habit.

concept stellar bay looks dope, realized version is a bit of dope from a long distance...

That's pretty much the standard for every video game ever. Concept art looks great, in game version looks like crap.

Currently game industry doesn't have the technology to make in game model looks as good as concept art without pouring too much time and resources into it.

I don't think "technology" explains the horror shows of OW and Bethesda character generation. No there is some serious anti-talent involved in that.
