I predict RPGs will become so dumbed down that, in the near future, there will be no semblance of choice left, and all we will get are Last of Us-type games, fully focused on a storyline. In 15 years time, people will remember Fallout 5 as "that one game with a cool storyline" (even if it's...

The main issue with New Vegas is that most skill levels are so pointless you won't even notice them. Gothic did this right: I believe you only have two or three "skill levels" at most, but they make a big difference. By giving 10 stages of skill levels we can make skills differences far more...

Wew, not only Bethesda fucked up the lore, but people over in FalloutLore are actively making their own headcanon to explain Bethesda's bullshit. It's literally against the definition of lore. I never, ever, needed to create my own headcanon to explain FO1 or FNV's events, since everything...

I like it when they spit out the classic "well, that's YOUR opinion". While it is no measure of being right or wrong, seeing the arguments from one side and seeing the "arguments" from the other side, you can't help but think we are right and they are awfully wrong.

Nowadays Bethesda only seems to add funny poses for the sake of funny poses. Thoughtful environmental storytelling is good, even if it is stale (crippled kid), but funny poses for the sake of funny is awful. They even added a Titanic reference in Far Harbour (saw it on Reddit before it was taken...

The other day I made an honest effort in remember what pieces of environmental storytelling I remembered from Bethesda's Fallout 3. And I couldn't remember any. At all. I want to mention at least something, so here I go: two crutches in a child's bedroom. But does that count as environmental...

This one is pretty good, I would add: - If you could have the chance on improving a game you've worked in before, but didn't live up to your expectations for various reasons (rushed development, rushed release, or any other), which one would it be? What would you have done different and added?

Boone: We're coming up on Nelson. I'm going to kill every Legion in there. I hope that's not a problem. Courier: No, that's not a problem. That's a solution. Boone: Goddamn right, you and I, we're just a couple of problem solvers.

YouTube. I have a lot of those in YouTube. I try to stay away from Reddit arguments, but sometimes I just HAVE to voice my opinion, even if I know I'll get downvoted to hell or called a "circlejerker". Anyways, I was going to post a YouTube argument I had, but it drags on. Anyhow, this is how...

Can't wait for Obsidian to own Fallout again so we can hear Avellone's actual unbiased opinion on Bethesda's garbage (if it is any different, that is). Anyhow, I would ask: - What sort of guidelines do you use when writing characters? - Do you try to flesh them out as much as possible, or just...

Video game movies are shit for the same reason comic book movies are shit for the same reason novel movies are shit. A Fallout movie would need to be separate from the video games. Have an original story, and cut ties with everything related to the super mutants, the Brotherhood of Steel, NCR...

Hate it even more. My first Fallout game was FO3. My second was New Vegas. It took me a while to get into it. After all, when you go from one game you really liked, you expect the following in line to be more of the same but better. New Vegas is practically a whole different genre from FO3...

This mofo could have been a great addition. A mutated Mantis Shrimp that one-shots you and generally as one weakness you need to explot to beat him. Also, what is up with this fucking shit, I'm tired of games letting enemies land 20 hits on your character, especially when it is a Deathclaw or...

Playing games is no different than watching a sport. You either enjoy it, or you don't. Otherwise, we would have to ask ourselves "are our parents so stupid they don't enjoy videogames? Blasphemy!". I didn't like football (soccer) at first, but after a while it grew on me and I learned I...

Absolute rubbish, laddie. I cringe even at playing Wasteland 2 and seeing the similarities between Wasteland and Fallout, despite knowing the former came before the later. "Guardians of the Old Order", ffs. It's as if Fallout took things from Wasteland and made them better and with cooler...

Eh, if I have to choose one I'll definitely pick Easy Pete. Mostly because there's a set of particular responses given in succession that feels like the devs reused voice assets in response of actual dialogue. "Bad trouble" - "That's helpful" "Welcome" -"Good bye" "Yep"

Probably James in Fallout 3 (have played 1, 3 and NV only). It's bad enough that people point out "YOUR FATHER IS FUCKING LIAM NEESON" as one of Fallout 3's "pros". But then you see this pathetic excuse for a character, boring as he is, and you can blow up Megaton and the response you get is...

I'm pretty sure Obsidian won't be able to fix the dialogue system and the changes to the skills and perk system, though. A lot of things you can correct in Bethesda's Fallout without them looking over your shoulder every now and then. But those two things? Bethesda wouldn't allow it. Hell, I...

How could I forget the rabbit dude throwing tomatoes at me. Wasteland is, IMO, too comical for its own good... There's humor, and then there's "let's try to get a laugh out of the player at every possible instance." Wasteland 2 is a bad case of a game that doesn't allow me to be immersed into...

Bethesda could have mixed up Aliens and the Dunwich building in one and get on with it. I'm gonna get a lot of hate for this, but it could have been a sort of Slenderman thing. Imagine going around the building, ocasionally catching a glimpse of something. Then you eventually turn into a corner...
