    Are you seriously excusing shit waterfall mechanics/graphics game wide because this one particular view is only forced on you once in a certain situation?

    That’s a new take lmfao.

      Some people are really pissed because I posted a shitty meme, it really is ridiculous. But I guess when you spend up to a hundred bucks on a 6/10 RPG that was hyped-up like crazy you need to vent all of this frustration somewhere…

        The memes not shitty, people just ignore stuff for whatever justifications they can come up. If you can view it once, why should it be a different quality than something you see 100x? It’s a bloody water effect, there should be zero difference.

        Change the what item it is and it shouldn’t change anything either.

        Don’t put words in my mouth. And I spent $0 on it, gamepass for the win. I still enjoy the game, even with it’s shitty waterfall.

          I still enjoy the game, even with it’s shitty waterfall.

          Just want to say, that I did so, too! It’s not a bad game at all, but it could’ve been better in so many ways. Writing, game mechanics, world building…

      No, I’m just correcting the poster who says it’s a normally viewed part of the game. Are you unable to read or understand simple context?

          My comment says I agree the waterfall is shitty, did you miss that part?

          And no, I’m not incorrect, when a person asks if it is a normally viewed part of the game, that means viewed commonly by everyone. The waterfall is not a normally viewed part of the game.

          It is shitty, and it shouldn’t be, but it is not normally viewed by most players.

            There is no part of any game that is “viewed by everyone” unless it’s a scripted part of the game.

            There’s some doors in skyrim I never entered. So by your weird logic, that interior in whiterun wouldn’t be a normally viewed part of the game.

            Do you understand how asinine of a viewpoint that is now? Not normally viewable would be boundary breaking or a weird location you would only enter to look for loot or something.

              Nope, you’re wrong. When something is down a completely optional, hidden side questline, that you can only get to if you keep Sarah as a follower, and do her whole questline, it not normally viewable.

              What, maybe a couple percent of players may end up there? Yet everyone is going to see the spaceport, and the lodge. Those are normally viewable areas.

                And not every part of the spaceport is going to be viewed by everyone that visits it… your argument falls apart using your own logic. So no we aren’t wrong, you are.

                You realize more than just me have called you out on this… yeah?

                  Percentages mate, percentages. If only 2% of players see something, it is not normally viewed.

                  And yet another poster who said it’s not normally viewable is positively upvoted. So nope, I’m not wrong.

                    Right, but you just said the spaceport IS normally viewed. And no it’s not like that. A table in a room isn’t suddenly not “normally viewed” since only 5 players looked at while another table the NPC was sitting at 100.

                    Give it time, it’ll swing the proper way.
