Sometimes there’s “too many” things to loot. Condensing things down into a few lootables that are worth finding (perhaps even puzzling. I was so hoping the piano in the church was going to be of use, or the bell.) would be better than 20 lootable objects that are scattered about.
I would say that instead of 10-20+ items that have 20-30 items apiece that we find “stashes” in each POI, where people kept their guns and ammo, as that would be what people did in real life, right? You would find their gun safe, or find their regular safe. We could find clues to a combination, or clues to a secret floorboard that only unlocks after you find out about it. Then we get 2-3 collectables that contain a bunch of loot instead of random ammunition boxes in the shed.
I agree that some locations make me groan at the prospect of going through everything. The container ports and the big cities are the worst, 99% of the loot is low-end rubbish but I force myself to look everywhere for .50 cal ammo and adrenaline. My OCD makes me HAVE to clear all locations! Argh!
When I first found that nearly every building in the game was enterable I thought that was extremely cool, but now with 100s of places to enter it actually can be a negative. I sigh with relief at the wooden sheds, kiosks and cafes because I know I can skip them!
I think there is plenty of OCD to go around here (for me it is a huge benefit at work)! I have exactly the same experience as you … can’t leave a door locked or a stone unturned. I have to do major cleanups of my backpack regularly, and I must open all loot containers. And I spend a lot of time deselecting ammo from the loot boxes that i don’t need. So I really agree: Less is more! And an auto-sort feature for the storage system would be highly appreciated. With the Plundra holding the guns I don’t use on a regular basis (along with one box of associated ammo), suddently I find amble space in my backpack. The Plundra really works, and with a bit of discipline it could easily be half the size. But … I know … peace!
Also i think that it would be cool to, which possibly have been mentioned before, enter the policestations, the kundsams and firehouses. Those places could be were there would be loot in plenty.
@Eastman
I already asked in (an?) (as i do not know if I did in more) other posts to open ALL places.
Since no one there, no one would bother if you entered these.
Besides the few machines roaming, perhaps.
This thead is half a year old, I’m not sure if they’re still around. But since there’s activity here again, I’ll go ahead and move it to Feedback & Feature Requests anyway
