Forced aesthetic changes should not exist

[Roda]

I'm not trying to be annoying, but I just think isn't the fusion bad because of how it looks and/or how it relates to the job? By arguing it's bad because it's forced, you can argue down anything in the game..

Or even if it is purely based on choice, ask for a toggle? I just don't think the devs are trying to force anyone into anything. They probably assumed you'd like it.

[Thing happens that people do not like & would rather avoid] -> [cannot avoid thing] -> [The fact that the thing cannot be avoided feels bad] => "I don't like being forced to do this"
The intent of the devs thinking people would like it is nice and all, but intent does not define people's experiences in practice, and people communicating that they feel like they lack agency in situations like this is VERY good feedback for those creating interactive media.

That is the significance of the "forced" aspect in this.


Any designer worth their salt can read a "I don't like that I'm forced to do/experience this [non-mechanical thing]" as "make [that thing] optional/don't overvalue [that thing] in gameplay as much" (when possible/reasonable)
