All dialogue options have previews that are nothing like what you actually say (Looking at you Cyberpunk) so you try to apologise for someones loss but the actual dialogue is your character being an utter piece of shit without warning. Getting the true ending and several important pieces of gear require you to never be mean to multiple NPCs.
Reminds me at the start of witcher 3 my brother was playing and some thugs come annoy you, one option was something like ‘I disagree’ which sounds reasonable, so he picked it. That option has Gerald insulting them and jumping straight into a fight, shit escalated fucking quickly lol
Or the tone of the actual responses doesn’t match the text for the selection of the responses.
“Do you accept the mission?”
Yes
No, thanks
Maybe…
Option 3 actually declares war on quest giver.
Oh and one that just happened to me last night:
Your normal actions still work during dialog so if you press buttons to try to exit out of a dialog, you might accidentally attack the NPC you’re talking to. If you let them kill you, they are still hostile when you return. Need to start a new save to recover. At least they drop the unique key from their shop when you kill them (Dark Souls 1, hopefully it’s no big deal that I had to kill the blacksmith. At least I don’t have to listen to the pounding metal when I spawn above him anymore).
Binary morality system where you can only choose between being a normal person or a mass murdering psychopath. Then your decision has no consequences.
Dialogue system that gives you 3+ options which change literally nothing
Oh, Bethesda is in this?
No feedback when hitting enemies, besides generic blood splashing and maybe a stumble
Way more health than is necessary or interesting on enemies
Combat system is mindless and boring
Quests are full of “go to this cookie-cutter dungeon, clear it out and bring me the MacGuffin at the end” on loop.
The game has lots of bugs that were in the previous 2 games, and were patched in the fan-patches of both the previous 2 games.
And yet I still see people posting Skyrim screenshots and praising it… What a mediocre p.o.s.
Enemies leap directly at your camera while screeching like howler monkeys.
> Yes
> Sarcastic yes
> Reluctant yes
> No

NPC: My husband was killed!
1: Sorry for your loss…
2: It’s about time!
1: pfft sorry for your loss 🙄 tell someone who cares 🥱
2: It’s about time we found the MF who did this! Let’s go hunt him down!

And one randomly answers “yes” and you need to restart from a save.
Or even worse, there’s an entire gradient, but what they actually bothered to put in the middle is boring and pointless.
Or there’s a viable third option, but it got scrapped 10 minutes before launch and all the text is at complete odds to the dialogue
Or just all bad choices.
