PLEASE! It's my hometown, for God's sake! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newburyport,_Massachusetts In all reality, however, Bethesda would screw the Cthulu mythos for all time- They'll make him an enemy the player can actually fight against and win. I would not mind a Salem Witch Trials...

I would love a Cthulu/Elder God DLC, as long as Bethesda realizes Cthulu's horror doesn't come from being a tentacle monster but from being beyond human comprehension in magnitude and power. That said, a trip to the real life Arkham Asylum (the Danvers State Hospital) in Danvers MA or to...

Pioer didn't really strike me with a Boston accent. The ones I can name is the guard at the bottom of the lift when first entering Vault 114 after the Great War ("Everyone, please proceed to the stairs in an orderly fashion"), the male settler voice at Ten Pines Bluff (not very strong) and maybe...

I think part of what makes Skyrim still so playable even five years after its release is the amount of mods for it (#1 on Nexus) and the fact that there is simply much more to Skyrim. Fallout 4 feels half-assed at best.

Where the settlements are built competently, like any normal human being would do, unlike in Megaton where it's basically just twisted scrap metal everywhere into vaguely house-shaped buildings. Where the settlements aren't built out of any existing structures because existing structures are...

The user reviews sum up my opinion of the two very nicely. Both are terrible at re-creating a definitively Fallout experience, but are fun games to fool around in that have vaguely post-apocalyptic themes. Fallout: New Vegas, on the other hand, picks up where the isometric RPGs have left off and...

For me, there are two categories of Bethesda RPG games (though Fallout 4 barely qualifies as an RPG): the ones you play for the experience and the ones you play to screw around in. The former category includes titles such as Morrowind, Oblivion, and New Vegas (since it's technically owned by...

Yeah, shouldn't we see a lot more degradation over two whole centuries? Not just skeletons, but clothing, packaging, anything organic- hell, shouldn't we see all the concrete crumbled to only chunks, the metal rusted and corroded beyond any structural support, and the wood rotten out from over...

So it goes. Hopefully the DLC (if it's set in New England) isn't atrocious.

I just find it that not only accents, but on a much grander scale, Fallout 4 doesn't feel like Boston. It doesn't have a distinct flavor to it at all, really. It just seems like a bland, ruined city that I walk around and shoot raiders and ghouls and Super Mutants in.

We all know Fallout 4 has had a lot of promises to keep since it was announced at E3, and we also all know that it has failed to deliver on most of them rather spectacularly. My problem with the game, as a Massachusetts native, is the distinct lack of a Boston "atmosphere" to it. It just seems...
