Free repec my self. Want to take all the work I put into my current career and relocate it somewhere else.

Save scumming. You could get it - whatever "it" is - out of your system, and then just reload from your last save.

If it existed you'd never know. Unless you add an additional feature of preserving your characters memories across game loads. But then it's not a common game feature.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Unless it is, and every NPC knows exactly what you do to them. They just aren't allowed to break script.

Just some food for thought...

I play a lot of VR and I catch myself trying to use the gravity glove to pick things off the ground

Instant constructions and destructions. City needs a new road? Done in a second. Wind turbines and solar panels? Plopped before you could finish blinking. Pipe network to get water in and sewage out? There, it's already flowing beneath you.

As a hobbyist Woodworker, and a wildlife enthusiast This makes me sad.

Imagine some Karen wandering over, and all of sudden a monolith of a metropolis stands empty where once a forest stood full of life.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

With a proper mayor, said Karen will be elevated into a 4mΒ² mountain, over 2km above the rest of the place, where her ego from "being atop everyone else" will keep her from realizing nobody can hear her screams.

Also, "building" an entire forest also happens in a snap

You could live forever without fear of the heat-death of the universe :o

Hell I'd F5 right after getting home from work and never have to work again

Would it be so bad if you could enter, and leave it at will?

Go to a new city. Quick Save. Do literally everything one load at a time. Then resume real time and move to a new physical location.

Just don't get stuck like this

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

The comment was about never having to go to work on the morning. So yes you can leave, but then the you don't avoid work in the morning.

Infinite wealth exploits that the average person can exploit without getting into trouble. I could especially use this feature.

Though, a more serious answer would probably be something like infinite resources you find in certain games. For example, infinite weapons in games like Fallout 3, NV, and 4 from enemies periodically respawning when you're gone. Or in sandbox games like minecraft, how you can easily get seemingly infinite trees and bonemeal without completely destroying the ecosystem.

A challenge most people fail in video games for unfair reasons will generally be considered a badly designed element of that game by fans and critics.

Meanwhile the challenge of making it ahead in modern life, which most people fail at out of no fault of their own even if they play the cards they were dealt as smartly as possible… is considered a perfectly good design element of adult life.

On a lighter note I really wish the pinging system in games like Alex legends could be combined with a simple face recognition overlay (that only pulls from your semiprivate private network of photos with friends under certain sharing conditions) that just reminded you of people’s names and maybe very succinctly their connection with you.

Mushrooms that make me grow tall and gives an extra life. Bonus would be the fire flower.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Best I can do are mushrooms that can give you a new lease on life, or at absolute worse psychosis.

Want some fire flower? I know a guy for that too.

3rd person view, especially when driving

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

I've been noticing a lot of movies and TV shows now adopt a video-gamey behind the car view sometimes, mostly due to how cheap and good drone footage has gotten lately

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago

The monkeys paw curls, everyone now has to drive from the perspective of a back seat passenger looking over the driver's shoulder

Resurrection spells and being able tu use old saves

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Healing spells would be awesome.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Stacking items and having it only take up one inventory slot in our backpack!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Or even better, stacking literally anything and everything in a single "tile", Dwarf Fortress style

Detailed options so I mute background chatter or silence selected NPCs.

Subtitles for conversations not in my native language.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The ability to walk at 40km/h speeds.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago

Yes but then every time you tried to follow someone they'd walk at 37km/h
