Every single shill reply here of "why didn't you do [insert thing I didn't know existed/forgot exists here] 4head" is exactly the problem. This game assumes you have encyclopedic knowledge of the systems in the game and half the shit mentioned here I had no idea about and I've played this game off and on for years. If you are or returning after a long break and doing everything you know to do doesn't work, something is fundamentally broken with the experience.

If you like the game, good. If you are so immersed this all seems trivial to you, good. But it is a bad bad bad experience if you are new or returning. Objectively.
