Ok so I was doing an on foot mission to restore power to a settlement, I had landed a bit away so used my SRV to drive into the settlement and left if just outside. I clear the scavs and restore power and loot up move my ship to a landing pad in the settlement for easy loot transfer. finally finish up and go get my SRV. As I'm driving it to my ship it gets stuck (literally on nothing mind you just perma stuck on nothing but that's neither here not there; bugs happen you know) so I chose to destroy it from what I thought was a pretty safe distance It was on the other side of a small landing pad and my ship was behind me on the next pad over… the SRV explodes, I insta die and I figure oh well I was done here anyway. But then… NOT ONLY DO I FAIL A MISSION THAT WAS ALREADY DONE (WTF is this design choice) but apparently My ship apparently was destroyed as well! (luckily it was only a speed eagle but still). it wasn't the base defences that did it because I make a habit of always disabling them due this games sometimes dumb design choices when it comes to things like apparently doing things wrong which means that the explosion radius is seemingly the length of 2 small landing pads….

​

But I could maybe accept that IF THE EXPLOSION WAS EVEN HALF THAT SIZE VISUALLY

​

seriously this game needs some major design overhauls because OMG some of the choices here are just stupid and make literally 0 sense. the on foot part of the game specially needs an overhaul already and it's barely been out a year. Being shot for standing still too long in a settlement is stupid… Either shoot me, or don't shoot me. I'm either a friend or an enemy so why does this game seem to have a limbo area where everyone seems to hate me being in their settlement but is still cool with letting complete strangers walk around high security areas.

​

Speaking of which! Why are restricted areas a thing? Like what it's not suspicious that a complete stranger has security clearance but it's instantly unforgivable to step foot in a restricted area no matter who you are. AGAIN I'm either a friend or an enemy… This weird limbo area where they don't bat an eye but are also entirely unforgiving???? WHAT?

​

Also what's with the SUPER ARBITRARY mission conditions? like, retrieve this but don't get caught seems fine until it's turn off the power and don't get caught as if turning off the power isn't going to raise suspicion? oh and nobody knows how it happened? NEVERMIND the complete stranger that was walking around! PRETTY SURE THEY KNOW WHO DID IT!

​

anyway sorry this turned into a rant but odyssey has been a complete rip off waste of money and it's honestly starting to really annoy me how bad it's been designed. AT LEAST FIX THE DAMN REWARDS! RISK + TIME = Reward! it's not a difficult formula! 300k credits is not reasonable compensation for an hour of fucking play time.

ALSO INSTANT FAILURE ON DEATH IS A BAD BAD BAD BAD SYSTEM!
