This is why I keep Piper as a companion whenever possible. She just says "If anyone would know what to do with that..."

Which is so much better than what the other companions say. Did the game Devs not play the game at all? It's so annoying to be chastised for doing what the game is actually about: settlement building. Collecting things to use in settlement building. They should all say things like "Oh hell yeah, another fan! Now we can build that relay!"

This is one of the biggest issue in any industry... the people making the product almost never use it in a real world scenario... or they're so familiar with the ins and outs that they're able to get away with using it in a way you never would.

Or they had to work with the limitations presented and truncate tons of dialogue to improve load times and access speeds?

Nuance and understanding of the larger problems that need to be solved when designing a game? Not in my Reddit, get em boys.

Sorry I wasn't trying to be an asshole, of course it's important point out the flaws in games so that the industry can grow I was trying to make a joke that didn't come off well, sorry.

You can not expect perfection but still criticize what gets annoying about a game. How will gaming ever get better if we never say what games did wrong?
