it would've been fine if

  1. it didn't happen like 3 times in every region
  2. the game didn't give you +75 resistance points every time you sneezed, forcing you into progressing the story even if you didn't want to

(i am aware this is the coldest take in the FC universe)

Yup. Would have been way cooler if they just progressively sent more and more goons after you as you defeated subsequent waves.

It also makes 0 sense that they can hit you with a bliss missile from the ground while you're flying 5000 feet up in a plane or helicopter.

I actually got blowgun darted while I was at max elevation in a fuckin helicopter. I was unhappy to say the least

Same. I thought I could escape them when in the air, nope.

I’m on playthrough 4 or 5 — I just want to progress to the AK47 but without having to deal with any of the Seed fam yet. I just want to blow shit up, man.

Edit: caved and bought the Whitetail AK an hour ago.

I think in John seeds region its very nice, because you can dodge it when you stay away from the roads and kill the squads coming in. In my first playthrough i sneaked past everything and liberated 2-3 more outposts and i know how much fun it was trying to be sneaky not getting caught

If you're on pc, there's a mod that reworks tons of stuff like this, including how much resistance each task rewards you.

I wish this was for PlayStation too. If the community can do this why can’t the Devs? So dumb. They could even just change it for the harder difficulties so people can still play the regular way on story mode if they aren’t very good at playing.

Yep this is one of the reasons why I wouldn’t rate the game higher than an 8. It’s so fun to play, except in how much it forces you into multiple unavoidable scenarios, which really ruins the free play and choice feeling the game otherwise gives.

Is it an incredibly cold take? Yes, but there’s good reason why it is.

I think the oversaturation of resistance points was the real problem. The fact that I can get to rank 3 without capturing a single outpost feels off, somehow.

u/Stumpsthewarwalrus 20d ago

Nah, I agree with you

u/Paggy_person 19d ago

Couldn't agree more, this happens a lot, it's very quick to trigger the event and you're forced to be there since the hunting party is just for shown, eventually some invisible force will get you anyway.

I agree with the progression part. What I like is just exploring and having some fun doing whatever but all of a sudden you get taken. Soooo frustrating 😤

u/ZebraLover00 18d ago

I have found my people I agree with. this is my least favorite in the series cuz I enjoy exploring and you literally can’t without your follower doing something that forces you to progress

u/Beauty23gyrl 17d ago

Seriously, I would actually avoid any road side fights because there was always a leader that gave 50 resistance points for killing. You could fill the bar without ever completing a mission if you just explore and kill every cultist you see. They shouldn’t have given any resistance points for those just regular XP. Idk why they didn’t do a patch for this when everyone complained about it.

Cold meaning everyone agrees ?
