Someone told me to post this here and that’s all I got to say.

My popular opinion is that I don’t like this flavor of subcommunity

    That’s fair - sometimes you just want to pick up a controller and beat up baddies without the baggage of a whole story.

    What grinds my gears is the reliance on loading screens, in-game books, displays, item descriptions, etc. to deliver story elements. It’s one thing to use them to deliver extra flair, I.e. Skyrim’s Lusty Argonian Maids, but if I’m having to read pages of text just to know what’s going on in the game, then that’s plain bad story-telling.

      I respectfully disagree! I’m all about that kind of storytelling. I’m not about to go to bat for Skyrim though. The maid stuff felt like fluff, not what I personally prefer
