Starfield and Baldur's Gate 3 have reignited the 'quantity vs quality' debate around RPGs that promise a billion hours of gameplay, but I think they can actually deliver:

Starfield I can feasibly comprehend, but how the fuck are you going to get even 200 hours out of an open world with a few sidequests here and there and a linear story? I know there are a gorillion ways you can complete the main quest in BG3, but it's still a run of the mill main quest with stages. There's no way you can get 200 hours out of BG3, unless you beta test the game for 2 years and do a playthrough every update, like me.

I see what this is all about now. You got End of Rhined by Todd.

No, this is about Bethesda not giving a fuck anymore.

For anyone who doubts what I'm saying, go look at Fallout 76 and what they are doing with the Fallout IP. It is some of the worst treatment of a video game IP I have ever seen, a total bastardization. They make Electronic Arts look faithful.

BETHESDA IS SHIT. FUCK TODD!

Keep thinking mobile is decline while those guys are learning from all the hybridized PCconsole mishap mistakes, smells

... Can't wait for wireless chargers doubling as heatsink.

I liked Fallout4, if only it had more institute and resembled Terminator: Rampage more, my first fps game.

About the romance options, the way Todd describe it sounds like that four people are the only ones having quest line(along with romance). So bascially there are only four companions(WTF Todd), the rest are just crews.

I'd rather have four companions that are actually worth using, than 10+ that are fucking shit

This. If their questlines are actually good and flesh them out this should be plenty. I still remember Nick Valentine's and that redhead crackwhore's questlines in FO4 which were nice.

I got well over 300+ hours from PF WotR from doing a completionist run. Especially if you take time during the combats, inventory management, exploring every nook and granny, er I mean cranny, etc.

Nick has the best writing, but his personal quest is complete shit. Running all over the map to find 10 fuckings terminal just kills all the good will.

Again none of the companion in Fallout 4 has a "quest line", so Bethesda needs to step up their game big time here.
