He really isn't very good. I ditched my male character and started a second female. Courtenay Taylor does such a better job. I'm not sure about him sounding like a white dude. IIRC the VA is a black or hispanic guy.

Power Armor always requires some suspension of disbelief, even back in FO1. Like how the armor can stop anything short of heavy plasma fire or even high explosives, but the operator suffers little ill effects (lorewise) when they should still get their crushed by the sheer force of those weapons...

I think one comes with the other. Gamebryo is cheap to work on, their devs know it like the back of their hands and, most importantly, you can mod it. The majority of shiny modern engines are hell to mod. Fox (MGS V), Warscape (Total War), Frostbite (every EA game these days), hell even CD...

He knows that his personality isn't substantial enough to hold much interest, so he often resorts to trolling or name-calling to attract attention. His Fallout 4 review is just the last example of many. The man loves playing the victim. I still watch his videos from time to time, primarily...

Tim Cain isn't going to start bashing Bethesda in public. Video game developpers are often quite well behaved towards each other I found moreso than in many entertainment industries where passive-aggressive shit-slinging is more common. Even those who fans are in a bitter rivalry (say Bioware's...

It IS true that Bethesda's core gameplay loop (explore-kill-maybe read-loot) works. There's a reason almost every open world game copies it to a greater or lesser degree. It's the reason why I still play Fallout 4 (a bit, at least) even if I find that it is not a really good game. The problem...

That's not a big deal. Military designs aren't a linear upgrade path. Maybe whatever designers were working on T-45 managed to work out the kinks and make it really good just as the bombs fell. Heck, maybe the T-45 or 60 and T-51 teams were competing against each other or something. The T-60...

So was Shaun. Not only during the nuclear blast (possibly) but also in the Wasteland unless Kelogg teleported him to the Institute directly, which is possible but isn't shown. Also leaves the outstanding issue of the Institute killing all but one of the backups. And radiation passes from parent...

Somehow "clean" and "skeleton that's been killed by an atomic bomb and kept lying there for 210 years" don't exactly compute in my mind :p. Maybe they also needed blood samples or something. I still see absolutely no reason as to why they would need rad-free DNA in order to build artificial...

No, they wouldn't know in advance, but it seems a bit strange that it wouldn't make Shaun's DNA unclean or something. Nukes, well, they give off loads of radiation, and judging from the Glowing Sea the one that hit the outskirts of Boston seemed a particularily potent one, rads-wise. I mean, by...

The dialog wheel had a rough start in ME1 (several times which option you took literally didn't matter, Shepard said the same thing with the same tone). But by ME3 Bioware got the hang of it, and Inquisition's is very nice, it has tonal icons, clearly marked investigative options and tells you...

I get the idea behind Ulysses. He lost his tribe, then thought Hopeville was the best thing ever, and lost it too, so he became half insane and started thinking he could revive it if only he destroyed the current, and fallible, civilizations of the Wasteland. I got that part. I still think he...

Also how Shaun has clean DNA when he was meters away from the shockwave of a nuke, as a baby. How in the blazes were the future Vault Dwellers not blasted with at least some residual radiation I don't know.

I liked the USS Constitution. It was goofy but the right kind of goofy, you get to make a choice, and *gasp* can actually use your skills to solve a problem! I know, amazing.

I actually think that looks better than the first person view. Probably because Bethesda games tend to look far better in screenshots, far away than in motion, up close. That being said, FO4's problems as a Fallout game extend farther than its perspective.

You can find a time capsule made in 2076 (IIRC) in the depths of an old school, and it explicitely says that holotapes are the go-to storage device of the era. Many messages dating to just before the war (or literally the day the bombs fell) are stored in holotapes. So that's not the...

I'm not sure in what genre Fallout 4 is tremendous. As an RPG, well we know how it goes. As an FPS it is nothing spectacular, some of the guns are fun and PA feels good but it's nothing that hasn't been done better by other games. As an exploration game, it's good as per usual Bethesda fare...

Same, I actually thought that animation would be reused. As soon as I accepted the quest he put on his helmet so it makes a bit more sense that he survives. At first I actually thought it was the ''evil choice'' for the mission. Pressing the button would fry Dance and hurt your BoS standing but...

-Xenonauts, an X-COM like game that stays closer to the original and is thus both harder and more frustrating than Enemy Unknown, but also quite fun. -Divinity: Original Sins has a great combat system, albeit I found the story and roleplay quite poor but if you're looking for tactical combat...

There's also a ''fire 2 bullets for the price of one'' mod. It's quite overpowered, and the Vault 81 traders seem to hold a Combat Rifle guaranteed to have this mod. There's not much reason to use anything else for me, I've kept it chambered for .308 (of which I have 2 500) and it still does 160...
