Support characters should never be underestimated. I’ve experienced stories where supporting characters have both made and broken the whole thing
He's not good enough to star in his own story, but he's an amusing support character at least.
It’s always good to keep ideas like that written down somewhere. Who knows where the character will take you?
I'm not terribly interested is the issue. I just came up with an amusing character was all, but I may just keep him for a future story idea.
Tbh I still think it’d be cool if you joined the RP anyway
It is a quirky series. Right now I need to finish off Chrono Cross.
Some day, I will get into the MGS series. But today is not that day
Actually the interesting thing about MGSV is that it doesn't really do standard quests. Sometimes you have to collect documents or catch a rare animal, but due to the nature of the gameplay, it almost always boils down to infiltration missions. What helps the game is the Mother Base mechanic, where capturing enemy soldiers means that backtracking through smaller strongholds still retain value, but also the open ended nature on how you can complete missions helps give missions life as you can attempt it a few times and never get the same results usually as there are often multiple entrance ways or means of accomplishing your goals. Give the game excellent replay value, but that's almost a hallmark of the franchise really.
Yeah, the Witcher is also good about that. Sure, there are lots of quests to do, but not only is the amount much smaller than something like Xenoblade, but they also never feel like standard “get 20 bear asses” fetch quests and have their own little storylines. It feels like you’re actually helping living people rather than ticking things off a checklist. And I think that’s important in an open world game. So far Zelda is similar - the world’s physics engine really helps bring this place to life! I can start fires by hitting things and roll off big boulders from mountains. It’s fun.
I would still say the best open world game I ever played was MGSV surprisingly enough. Probably cause it doesn't have the fetch quest nonsense the genre is rife with and the combat is actually really fun.
