Set in England but has elective classes, cheerleaders, mascots and no kitchens in dorms.
I am glad they are trying to have other influences besides America. This is an international game after all. There never were kitchens in dorm buildings where I went so it's realistic to me.
It is great to have a different feel to the place (like Windenberg and Sulani), but they never should have put that restriction in. If they want to make the game international, then they should make it as broad as possible. Restrictions are the opposite.
I’m a Brit too and from my experience, most unis have halls of residence which are flats of up to 6 single rooms with a communal kitchen area. All of my friends from school who went to different unis had the same setup. There are of course older halls that had a dining hall and no flats (I imagine, though I never visited, Oxbridge colleges to be like that. It just seems to strange to set the game in England/UK and then put a restriction in there that makes recreating British halls of residence (and I’m sure a huge number of other countries too) impossible to recreate.
They didn’t even explain why they’re restricted (if I recall, I may have been fuming at that point). How is restricting sand box play and the ability of players to play the game they want or tell stories they want, a new feature that we should want?
I am not going to buy the game till it’s on sale and until this is modded out. There’s not enough actual university experience in there to justify the £40 and I have zero interest in robots. I really like the CAS assets (especially the leggings) and the roommate system is great (especially as you can ask anyone to be your roommate not just place ads), but I am not willing to pay £40 for some CAS items, a roommate system and a rabbit hole uni experience.
