      One of my characters was a chaotic good who wanted to hold all the power in Skyrim so no one else (with worse intentions) could, but I only did this because I can't play rpgs as sandboxes and needed a reason to play all the quests with only one character

          Skyrim has so many problems that recontextualizing it as a non-rpg doesn't even begin to scrape the surface of everything that's wrong with it.

          It's still a buggy pile of shit, it's still ugly as shit, the music is still boring, it's still dull, the game still builds up to a boss fight that's a complete joke and reskin of the fights you've already been doing, it's not a get out of jail free card.

            Nta, that's a lazy open-world design.
            It allows Bethesda to outsource the production of generic content to outside company, and let it be played in any order without any effect on the world at large.
            Starfield got around that by literally tricking the player into infinite NewGame+.

        No it's not. You can play a single save for hundreds of hours without joining a single faction, including completing the entire main quest line. The point of joining factions is to get some special benefit for a specific type of stat or combat style, which, if you weren't using, wouldn't even be useful.

          From there it depends on how many choices the devs give you.
          Would be fun to have an infiltrator choice, a double-agent choice, with winning or failure conditions like failing to maintain your reputation high enough.
          But that would also be very costly for something the players are not that likely to try on their own.

              They actually didn't JOIN. They merely roleplayed a character TRYING to join. It's only by the game being moronic it resulted in actually joining.
              >when they didn't want to join multiple factions
              Do you understand the difference between a character wanting to be rich and a character being rich? It's the difference between going on an adventure for loot vs picking a character with an aristocratic background.
              Without that understanding, you couldn't understand any game or story, and maybe not even the experience of living on Earth.

                Then he is moronic and is bad at roleplay, if he blindly clicks on a thing, that, as he is well aware, will lead into mechanically joining the faction. In such a case he had to roleplay all necessary dialogues in his head and frick away from NPC.

                It is reasonable to expect you to be able to join a faction if there is no outright negation of that fact being mentioned in the dialogue beforehand, like the npc going "Ugh, you're X? Get outta my sight." the moment you initiate dialogue.

                Now, whether or not such interaction missing is an unforgivable game design flaw is another argument entirely.

                The stilted badness of bethesda rpg's doesn't start there, sure. But the player could either be giving it the benefit of the doubt, or going on with the roleplay regardless.
                >Now, whether or not such interaction missing is an unforgivable game design flaw is another argument entirely.
                If roleplaying and/or immersion is part of the goal, and the world feeling entirely unnatural and synthetic isn't, I'd say it's deserves being pointed out.

    It's a sound argument. If you are bothered by the fact that a game allows you to do something (note: allows, but does not enforce) and you do it, it is then moronic to be butthurt about it.

    To toss in one of those dreaded food analogies, you don't throw a hissyfit at a buffet if they allow for more selections than what you would want on your plate. Or at least one would hope you do not do that.
