I don’t mind yellow paint as much as it is a sign of the broader issue of big games trying to be idiot-proof. If a game has yellow paint I expect it to be as easy as it can be outside of giving me literal god mode.

    My kids recently got into Harry Potter, so I loaded up the old HP1 game on a playstation emulator. The whole game environment is made up from a single muddy low-poly mesh. Pretty much every object that isn’t part of that background mesh is interactible. You really don’t have to be smart to figure that out. So total agreement.

    The yellow paint of the early 2000s was “object exists”.

          Not according to the wiki.

          There was a PC release for the game that looked like ass though apparently. The PS version was developed with the aid of the movie production team and Head TERF herself, so it was more faithful to the books/movies than the PC version apparently.
