First time asking for a refund.
Edit in lieu of deletion:

I made some errors, and since I can't delete the comment outright, this is my way of saying "mea culpa."

If two words changing completely destroyed the illusion of role-playing for you - then it's probably for the best to move onto something else.

It's just squiggles that mean literally the same thing; but too many people lack constructive thinking and get mad over the literal word vs what it means. This is unironically like getting mad at Crayola for having the word "negro" on the black crayon as if it's a racial thing, when it's just the spanish word for "black".

To those who say "it doesn't matter," yes, yes it does. I want to roll play. If it were something like picking between two different vehicles or other inanimate objects, I'd not have a beef, but the OG Oblivion had Male and Female. This if forced and I will not have it. Couple this with the monetary requirements of investing in a brand new system just to play at decent quality, I have no reason to play nor reward what I see as bad behavior. Nexus getting rid of the mods to revert to what was already established in the original game is just another symptom of a greater societal ill.

Oh, well. I'll enjoy what I have and keep my money until I find someone I find worthy of it.

what?
again
what?

a 1070Ti minimum and a 2080 as recommended is insane requirement?
You mean, insanely low?

What's the point in posting this in the forums instead of the reviews, other than farming

Simple, I'm not reviewing it. I only got about an hour of game play and that wasn't enough to judge the game fairly. Doesn't seem honest to put it in reviews when I'm not reviewing it critically.

My 'puter is only a couple years old and it's struggling to keep the frame rate from cooking it at LOW quality. I can play MechWarrior 5 at High with no problem but hardly any new games since I got this rig work at or above medium. It's like we're back in the days of Crysis all over again except it's for every game.

I disagree. If an element of the game put you off so much you refunded it it's worthy of consideration in a review.

Which body type is the one with breasts that can't be uncovered if you undress their torso? 1 or 2?

PC gaming is no longer an affordable hobby. buy a console or do something else if you are poor. when single GPUs cost more than even the most ridiculous overpriced alienwares of 2010, its a sign the hobby is on its last legs.

I am tempted to, but again, if I am going to review a game or give it a review, I need more than just finishing the tutorial plus a little extra as well as what amounts to a minor nitpick. It's not deal breaking all by itself, after all. It's only in conjunction with, well... everything else.

I haven't been a console gamer since the OG Playstation. PC games have always been my go-to. While I have an X-Box, it's essentially little more for me than a Blu-Ray player. I also don't want to buy a game twice because sooner or later, I'm going to get a new PC that can play the games I want at high specs. If that means I have to wait, so be it.

If you go to a restaurant, you order, they pre-charge you then tell you to leave without a refund, would you abstain from reviewing the restaurant? ngl it reads like you're more upset about supposed compelling of speech, which, nobody is going to ask you to say "Body type 1" in regards to a real human being, that's just upset for the sake of being upset.

i dunno. i wouldnt even bother

i was looking at upgrading and it was going to cost almost 3 grand, and that was just with a 9700XT GPU. a 5080 pushed it well past 3k, and a 5090, well with a 5090 in that rig i could get a new sink, 2 new toilets, redo my whole deck, and buy a new grill

prices are just absolutely stupid for this stuff now...

im just going to get a PS6...
