..i feel like playing the game is boring.

[Richcoop]

no, seriously.
it's too hard to get the culture i want to play as, and humankind's world generally feels empty and boring. all the independent peoples seemingly do is either attack the player, or exist to get assimilated by a major faction, with zero in between.


getting to the contemporary era is. well. for starters, i literally play on endless speed, and i NEVER get to the late techs in the contemporary era. plus, the game feels like a slog to go through because of this. it always feels like i'm shuffling between eras doing absolutely nothing because i prioritize peace and choose nice AI personas, and i often build cities and have barely enough influence to even get the EARLY civics.


this gets even more annoying because several AI personas seem to get swapped with victor or edgar allen poe or whoever regardless of what i do. playing as a peaceful country is utterly and completely boring, and more often than not feels boring. i had issues with the minor factions in endless space 2 being there solely to get assimilated and/or conquered, but this is just amplified with the independent peoples in humankind, who more often than not don't feel like they do anything independently of the major factions, and seem to only exist in relation to major factions.


TL;DR: this game is boring to me due to peaceful playthroughs being completely uninteresting, the AIs being buggy and swapping the personas out for another persona entirely, independent peoples doing absolutely nothing of consequence that isn't related to major factions despite literally being called independent peoples, and the contemporary era being effectively bait, with the "bait" being the techs that i can never research, even on easier and longer games of humankind.

Have you tried playing in a more aggressive style? Maybe it will make the game more interesting for you. Or you'll try playing on a more incredible difficulty to make the game more challenging. Either way, it's a tough situation you find yourself in. I was in a similar case a few months ago and felt very depressed. However, I soon found an excellent solitaire app at https://joywallet.com/article/best-s...or-real-money/, and I can tell you it's an enjoyable hobby. In fact, I ended up feeling much better, and my depression was gone.
