Whenever I see people hoping for a Fallout New Vegas 2, it’s depressing to realize that the Obsidian that made that game is effectively dead. The writing talent is long gone and have been replaced by women and trannies who are barely functional psychopaths. I know the diversity and inclusion rhetoric plays a huge hand in how people are selected, but why do these studios have a knack for hiring the most degenerate, low effort people imaginable to work on a part of the game that basically molds the structure and tone of the entire game? It’s just so bizarre how all of these writers that are being hired are all basically identical in terms of them being leftist, social media obsessed, and barely functional people who are most likely a nightmare to work with.

Cousin, let's go bowling.

I tried to play in line with the story. Niko had a new life, and didn't want to kill anymore, so I avoided combat, and obeyed traffic rules. Roman calls, and it takes half an hour to drive to the other side of the city. When I got back to where I was, Roman calls again. I immediately stopped caring about traffic rules. Defeated the impact of when Niko had to kill again, for the story, when I had already run people over.
I didn't do any of the other stuff you said, but yes, this was a major problem I had with the story. They want to talk about how Niko is so sympathetic and was traumatized by killing and doing all these horrible things in the war... but you're just a psychopath running people over while he cracks wise at bodies flying off the hood. Dumb.
I was so happy when I learned of the exploit of simply turning your damn phone off. It was the only way to "maintain" the relationship mechanic while actually playing the game you want to play. Anything else (letting the phone ring or telling the person to fuck off) penalized you. Oh, and I loved how if you randomly DID want to throw darts the other friend could tell you to fuck off with no penalty.
