The Neon mod I want to see: Neon revolution


Recommended Posts

Posted

If you've played the game enough, you'll know that Bayu is a robber baron who robs everyone, everywhere. This scenario plays out in the real world, but in the real world, this only lasts so long until the economy tanks as the suppliers refuse to be gouged and boycott the country on their own. Name your pariah country in the real world that is in the skids because the government is corrupt and no sensible country will do business with them -- not even the smugglers. In Starfield, once truckers realize they're getting robbed by tariffs, they'd simply stop doing business with Neon altogether, no matter how many contracts are offered. And if all truckers boycott Neon, you can guess what happens in a "city" that is essentially an oil platform without the oil drill. And everyone on Neon knows the reason why the truckers have boycotted Neon. They can have all the aurora they can produce -- which is illegal to transport off world. They can have all the Astral Lounge patrons they can get, but without the imports they absolutely need because the gouged the truckers, it's an economic siege. Let this play out a few months and what do you get? Revolution. Of course Bethesda didn't really think this through. And you know Bethesda will never think this through. For all of Ubisoft's faults, at least they understood economics and shoved you into the face of that in Assassin's Creed.

 

So no, Bethesda won't let the bad Neon economy play out, ever. This is where a good mod can take things to their logical conclusion.
