The worst part is that progressing typically requires the use of one of your path actions with that NPC, but not only does the game tell you which one, it won't even let you do it yourself; it just automatically happens once you go to the NPC in question, who is always marked with a waypoint and has a huge green speech bubble over their head.

So instead of:
>pay attention to story
>figure out NPC of interest
>decide best path action
>find NPC
>do it

it's
>get told what to do and whom to do it to
>go to place marked on map
>watch cutscene

I don't think a lot of modern game devs quite understand just how damaging this denial of agency is to players with more than room temp IQ. It's not just insulting; it's fucking frustrating. Why are they so afraid to let me play the damn game?
