Modern RPGs are horribly overwritten. There’s no sense of pace, no respect for the reader’s time. It’s just endless flowery language, unnecessary paragraphs, and adverbs as far as the eye can see, all made ten times worse if it happens to be voice-acted. I can’t believe people sit through that shit.
The problem with modern RPGs is not complexity but verbosity. SO MUCH DIALOGUE. Just shit the fuck up already and let me play the god damn game.

Wasteland 3 was good in that regard. Just enough punchy dialogue to move the story forward and back to blowing stuff up with rocket launchers.
