Cover art annoys me

[Average Juice Enjoyer]

How ironic is it that the cover artwork for the game, shows the character holding a 10mm pistol in one hand with a combat rifle of some kind on their back.. when this is not possible at ALL in the base game..

Right and a Burger king meal looks exactly like the advert! hahaaha

ye, that annoys me too. its lazy programming having the weapons disappear instead of holstering them to the side or the back.

Lazy programming? They'd have to adjust it for both genders and all sizes, and all the different armor with all the different weapons and still it would be glitchy.

Yet modders done it for free, with less access to resources shortly after release..

You're forgetting developers are under insane pressure and they don't have all the time in the world either. Once a game has been released, it will usually be followed with updates. However, since they are employees, their attention must be directed to other projects. Although many modders are exceptionally talented, most of the hard work has already been done and they can improve upon what's already there or create new things and simply insert them into the game.

This is irrelevant, pressures, deadlines etc make no difference in this specific situation. They literally had the idea, made it their main focus for cover art.. then didn't implement it.

If we were to say niche things like backpacks or ammo swapping etc then sure i can see why they wouldn't of had time for that.. but they literally planned and designed this at some point and just didn't do it. Very simply, they left out many key features as they knew that modders would come along and do it for them, that is lazy.

I fully expect to see the same issues in Starfield and TES VI

It's not irrelevant. That artwork is much more recent than the game. It was not released with the game back in 2015.

Did you ask for a refund? Obviously a game with such horrible cover art can't be any good.

I'm a jumbo jack fan myself, since I moved out of range of Western Bacon cheese burgers. It's sad that the burger doesn't look all pretty before i cram it in my mouth, but that's life as a burger.
Same with the game, really. Too bad it doesn't look pretty before I mess it up by playing it

Stop. Being. Reasonable!
You're ruining a good rant opportunity.
