>Why is this an immediate indicator of casual shit
It's derivative of CRPGs. dumbed down for a casual console audience who can't into rulesets. Instead of your character sheet mattering in combat, your reflexes and positioning take precedent
>Turn it off and donβt use fast travel
the game is built around these mechanics whether they're on or off
>Sounds like someone never played on hardcore
nope, don't like survival mechanics
>What does this mean?
things like factions forgiving you completely once you enter the strip, or karma not doing much. They choices you make rarely lead to any friction
>You can if youβre not at the proper level
You won't because the game tells you when you can pass checks. It's more like VN than an RPG and again designed to never make the player feel bad.
