And Norzan, you're reaching by saying that exposition dumps in 1st person while the player has full control "takes away control from the player" and you know it :p C'mon, how many hours have you played Skyrim? ;)

So the Fallout setting stopped being sacred as soon as Brotherhood of Steel was made. Even the biggest Bethesda hater knows they're doing much better than that crap heap. Anyways. Fallout 3 is more like Star Wars: The Force Awakens than Highlander 3. And Bethesda's shtick is using the same...

Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel was the defacement of the series, as was Black Isle's other poor financial decisions that made them literally SELL Fallout to Bethesda! Like god damn at least the series was sold so more games can be made, and thank god it was to Bethesda so we can at least get some...

So firstly you have to totally seperate Fallout 1 & 2, as they are CRPGS. Morrowind had three directional melee combat, weak archery, weak stealth elements, and a developed support magic system with a basic magical combat system Oblivion evolved the combat by adding Havok to their physics...

Dude I've played 100+ hours of Morrowind in the last 2 months alone, and probably 30 hours of Oblivion in the same amount of time; Morrowind and Oblivion are nothing alike. While I actually prefer Morrowind to Oblivion, Oblivion is where Bethesda became totally distinct from every other studio...

Far Cry 3 has persistent cells, every AI following schedules, eating sleeping, all with unique names and their own place in the world? Does it also have zero cutscenes, numerous factions created for side quests only, and cities and towns with guards and a crime and punishment system that...

You're right in that Fallout 4 has poor writing, they took a big step back in that regard. However, it has amazingly fun gameplay, physics, the best power armor in the series bar none, and my favorite world in the series, besides maybe Fallout 1.

Morrowind is amazing, I'm playing through it right now, but I would recommend playing Skyrim first. The crazy thing about Skyrim is that it's 10 years old and even the people that criticize it have often played 500+ hours. It's incredibly immersive, it draws you in, and let's you truthfully...

While I don't enjoy Witcher at all, I can at least respect CD Projekt. I don't enjoy cinematic games, and Witcher is highly Cinematic, while Bethesda games are the opposite of that. We all have different opinions, so at a certain point one has to just appreciate novelty in something that other...

Life is grand

The most important character in Bethesda games is the WORLD itself. Having a living world with AI that will go on with their lives instead of just waiting for the player character to come along and interact with them is, imo, the greatest achievement in modern game development, and I think that...

Norzan, you mention other games trying to copy Bethesda... uh which ones? No developer has the technological capability to copy a Bethesda game. There hasn't been a single game even remotely resembling a Bethesda game by another developer. Their worlds are the only living virtual worlds that...

Like, I understand wanting Fallout to have CRPG releases with an Isometric Perspective, or wanting Obsidian to be involved in standalone releases or the mainline series; that would be an awesome addition to the series, and has already happened in the form of New Vegas. But out of every other...

The Creation Engine is a masterpiece; I'll quote someone who posted this on Reddit in one of my threads a few days ago "It's insane how well they stream exterior cell data, with physics, AI, cell data persistence and all (compared for example to Assassin's creed or Witcher or GTA where anything...

Signed up just to reply; I'm a big fan of the original Fallout games, more Fallout 1 than 2 but I digress... I'm also a huge fan of Bethesda. Now, despite all the hate they get, Bethesda has released one *bad* game in the last 20+ years: Fallout 76. Developers, unfortunately, are also...
