That’s why I almost always hide helmets.
That’s why mods exist. And some games have a setting to hide helmets.
Video games are a fantasy and I want my character to look a certain way, fuck me right?
They’re being downvoted for being rude to someone just for expressing a desire to hide helmets in games.
That’s why good games give you the option to remove helmets during cutscenes, or just hide them altogether.
ideally i’d want games to have NPCs react to if you’re wearing a helmet or not, and a real risk of getting attacked when in populated areas, so you have a choice to make whether you want to keep your helmet on or take it off (and that should be a simple button press)
that way there’s a bit of added flavour, and you have an actual reason to see your character without a helmet.
No. I want to see my cool helmet. Games that remove helmets and (all customization) during cutscenes annoy me.
The worst one I’ve experienced is EVE Online. They had such an extensive character creation system, and I spent ages posting for the player icon, only to be staring at tables and icons.
The sky box (space box?) is pretty though.
It’s… Eve Online. Even I know what the gameplay entails, and I’ve never played it. What did you think you were getting into!?
I kinda went in to it sorta blind. At the time there was development on features that lets you walk around space stations. Also I just kinda got lost in the process and got way too in to it for some reason lol
Haha, totally fair! Eve Online is just kind of famous for being a “spreadsheet simulator”. I’m sure that’s at least partly unfair but again, never played it!
I heard of it, never dig into it, I have no idea what it does except it had something to do with space and its a MMORPG
It’s a open sandbox where there are a lot of “careers” or playstyles you can pick from. The most popular one would be joining a player corporation (guild) and fight against other corps for territory. There are miners who mine astroids for resources and sell it for money. Others use said raw materials and set up factories to refine it into different products. You can be a space trucker and haul them, or you can even be a space pirate and attack and loot said truckers. Of course there are more traditional dungeon raid esque PvE with your corp.
The (in)famous thing about EVE is that it’s a space spreadsheet simulator. (It’s not completely unfounded as there’s an official EVE Online add on for Excel, but unless you’re doing space business you don’t really need it. I never did). The learning curve is also pretty steep. But it’s pretty fun, and the harshness of space does create some great space friends. As they always say, the best ship in EVE is Friendship.
The NPCs won’t know, but I will, and that matters.
