20 years later, the world deserves another Sid Meier’s Railroads!

Sid Meier's Railroads!, released in 2006, is a strategy game that celebrates trains and embodies Sid Meier's game design philosophy. The game features an iconic exclamation point in its title, reflecting Meier's enthusiasm for diverse themes. Despite being "cruelly ignored upon release," it currently has 108 active players on Steam. The game allows players to navigate complex market dynamics through engaging gameplay mechanics, with AI that challenges players in single-player mode and a multiplayer experience that combines camaraderie and competition. However, it suffers from persistent routing bugs and lacks an intuitive level editor and fresh scenarios.

A minor Fallout: New Vegas quest got its own ending slide because the team was transfixed by the choice where you make the NCR’s worst soldiers take Psycho

Josh Sawyer, design director at Obsidian, discussed the subjective criteria for selecting quests that receive ending slides in their RPGs, with the game's director making the final decision. Individual designers rarely advocate for their own quests to be included. He highlighted the quest "Flags of Our Foul-Ups," where NCR soldiers face dire consequences due to their incompetence. Players can use various skills or the fictional stimulant "Psycho" to influence the outcome. The team concluded that using Psycho could lead to chaos and war crimes, prompting the inclusion of ending slides that detail the soldiers' grim fate. Sawyer emphasized the importance of capturing major narrative beats in these slides, while also acknowledging the logistical challenges of creating them, including time limits and the need to illustrate and record multiple endings for companions.
