So i've been playing raft, and i have a criticism after doing the Vasagatan quest...
Warning:spoilers for raft's Vasagatan island quest.
It's not tied into the normal gameplay, at all. It's like, you have to stop and solve a puzzle in basically aan entirely different game. Nothing to do with the normal gameplay loop.
So here's what i'd do differently:
The quests should have places to use normal items. For example, the crowbar and door opening: crowbar should be a regular tool. It should be craftable from metal ingots, have durability, etc.. To open doors — just one of the uses. It can also be used to destroy buildings faster than a metal axe, and mine underwater slightly faster than a scrap hook. I also think, that, maybe it could be kinda interesting if you couldn't make a crowbar until you found one on Vasagatan first, like with blueprints, but you find the actual item.
The bomb should be just a craftable item usable in multiple quests, that you find a blueprint for on the ship. May it be just 5 explosive powder, 3 scrap and a circuit board. Let all those resource be findable on the ship for if you don't have an excess — explosive fish around the island, a circuit board maybe just laying around somewhere, maybe even just explosive powder in crates... The bomb should also be just placeable anywhere on the island or on raft. Destroy things nearby. Open any "locked from the other side" door, only strictly necessary once, but you can have fun with it.
The bolt cutter and car jack should be just removed. There's nothing about a padlock an axe couldn't handle — just let that be a thing. The metal create should also be replaced by some other obstacle, because the car jack is extremely cringe. Make it, oh, i don't know, covered with a plank barrier, that someone made to keep the lurkers out. With a small hole to show they broke through, and allow an axe to break it.
Also, allow me to access all rooms by using crowbar. I want to see all living quarters.
I want to keep playing the game "normally", i want the quests to be part of the regular gameplay loop, rather than one-time puzzles. Because otherwise it feels like i'm playing a different game.
I suspect that i will have similar feelings about the further quests. Luckily for me i haven't spoiled it for myself.
Expect me to come back in a few days with a similar rant, because honestly this does really frustrate me.
