    Nonsense.

    First of all, it’s a quick-save game. There’s almost no meaningful stakes. Even if someone turned out to be a synth that betrayed you, at worst you’d just go back to the last auto save.

    Second, even if they did the combat is so janky you’d probably get shot a couple times, realize what’s happening, and then win the fight anyway.

    Third, that never happens.

    The whole game is an incoherent mess. It’s three under baked games in a trench coat.

        Apparently it saves when you sleep in a bed, so I guess there are some stakes but they’re still pretty low.

        Never played survival mode myself

          I highly highly recommend you give survival mode a try. Prepare to die a lot trying to get past concord. So many weird mechanics start making a ton of sense.

      If you save-scum then that is on you for not knowing how to play a role-playing-game.

      Making non-optimal choices is part of the gameplay to weave better stories.
