You already know the answer to that question ;)

But seriously, I'd assume because so many "live-service" games paywall any new updates behind "battle passes" or whatever they're calling their subscription model this week.

Shame. Shortly after it's release Best Buy was selling it for like $10, which is such a potent indicator for the state of its reputation on release. Anyway, I couldn't pass it up. I encountered tons of bugs, but they were all superficial and didn't impact the gameplay or my progress.

I loved it. World building and atmosphere were grade A, and I even liked Johnny Silverhand and his relationship with V. Like I said in the post, I've been waiting for new game plus to replay, but I guess now I'll just dive back in without.

Supposedly, there's mods that really improve things. I don't have the game, but if you own it, it might not be a lost cause thanks to community modders.

if you want a second opinion, it's good trust me.

What is Orion?

Yes, but the bulk of the dev team is working on The Witcher 4.

If I were a dev, that wouldn't be my priority in a first person Game either.

I repeatedly spend time deciding on clothing choices etc for my character only to proceed to never actually see them outside the menu.
