I literally have no desire to buy this game at all. At least with Fallout 4, I convinced myself that Bethesda Game Studios probably took inspiration from Fallout: New Vegas, and the game could only be a step-up in terms of quality. Of course I was completely wrong. At least BGS are being...

I gave Bethesda the benefit of the doubt and bought Fallout 4 close to release thinking they might have taken some inspiration from New Vegas. Big mistake. It was even more streamlined than Skyrim and barely played like an RPG. It was more like a campy Far Cry game. I'm proud to say that I...

I'd argue that Bethesda have been disgustingly scummy since Oblivion. They've never been "charmingly incompetent." Their efforts at streamlining their games towards the lowest common denominator has always contained a sense of smug, self-serving cynicism towards their fans. Oblivion contained...

The player's whole relationship with Shaun and Nate/Nora was written horrendously. There wasn't a point in which I cared about any of them. That's partly because of a lack of exposure and the fact that neither of them really constitute as full-fledged characters. It's as if Emil believed the...

Most of Fallout 4 is badly written, so it's hard to pick one specific example. But I really hated the scene where you become acting director of the institute. Specifically how the other board members dismiss you on grounds not being a scientist. This really pissed me off because I always put a...

I don't think there's any chance Fallout will get better unless Obsidian make some new Fallout games or someone makes a Fallout cRPG. But the likelihood of that seems to be slimming. I wager that the Fallout series will just get so commercialized and vapid that it will ultimately end up as just...

I finished it twice. I do try to finish all of the games that I buy, especially at full retail price. My first playthrough was with the Railroad because their views on the Synths aligned most closely with my own. I was mostly unimpressed by their lack of depth, downsides and the lack of...

He's one of the most developed characters in Fallout 4, and he's still an incredibly generic character. Beyond being a thug with a silly name who was awkwardly written to appear sympathetic using tired tropes, there isn't really anything else that's interesting about Kellogg. I didn't feel...

When did they say this? I don't doubt it. It explains why Fallout 4 was more action-oriented and streamlined quite well. I don't get this. Who was actually emotionally connected to Vault 111 and its inhabitants? It's place in the lore is dull. There's no interesting social experiment, culture...

The little Big Horner calf you rescue in Honest Hearts. Well, it wouldn't be my waifu, husbando or girl. But I'd love to have one as a pet and companion. I don't see why you can't get a pet Bighorner or Brahmin in the Fallout games to follow us and carry our supplies. We get too many dog...

And there's too much binary morality in Bethesda's Fallout games. I know there's no karma system in Fallout 4, but giving Billy to his parents is clearly presented as the good choice and giving him to the Gunners is clearly the bad choice. This quest would have been much more interesting if the...

There's so many bad quests in Fallout 4. We're really spoiled for choice. Kid in the Fridge. This is kind of a no-brainer. Bethesda seriously expect us to believe that a kid survived the horrors of nuclear devastation in a fridge and survived 210 years as ghoul while stuck in one place in...

ED-E He's so cute. He's the best part about Lonesome Road. :oops:

Of course it was. Fallout 4 was a blatant cash-grab made to profit off of the Fallout IP. Bethesda completely streamlined it to the point that it no longer resembles an RPG. It's more like a Far Cry, Mass Effect and Minecraft chimera with a superficial Fallout theme. Say what you like about...

Easily Dead Money. I really love how it intertwines horror and and heist stories, while capturing what makes both great. I also really love all of the characters - especially Dog and God! And it's really fun to play through multiple times and approach it in different ways. In a lot of ways Dead...
