Longtime readers/stalkers a) will be alarmed by the new design, and b) will know that I kinda have a thing against Cracked.com for a couple of reasons. One, their photoplasty contests aren't funny, and two, they seem to think that all their articles can be improved by a half-dozen "fucks" and "shits."
Anyway. Today Cracked.com has an article out about various video-gaming sins. And #2 on the list is Padding. Except, they don't talk about actual Padding, or at least not as I understand it.
See, they're talking about "pointless missions." But when I say "padding," I'm thinking more like what I complained about vis a vis Skyrim's Dawnguard DLC. Okay, that requires some clarification, because I whined a lot about Dawnguard.
(Today's ADD-addled diversion: I'm doing this post on my gaming PC rather than my usual one. When I went to go get that link above, I found I'm going to need a bigger background for higher-resolution computers.)
My principal complaint about Dawnguard (and yes, it's very hard to choose just one) is that the penultimate mission just dragged way. The. Hell. Out. When you tell me "go get Auriel's Bow," I assume I'm in for one dungeon trawl, not four plus a ginormous Space Flea From Nowhere sidestory. What Cracked is actually whining about is more accurately described as "boring-ass fetch quests."
