Not one for subtlety, are you? Oh well, time for my two cents nobody ever asks for. You can do a lot with two cents, people! Well, by original definition, Fallout 2 is a really good RPG. It's not perfect, and certainly not in my list of favourite games, but that's related to RPGs not being my...

Yes, and yet GTA V had far more unique content than most open-world games of recent years, which considering its lack of content compared to previous games, speaks to how drained modern free-roam games have become.

No, first there was a person who was really good at their job (Fallout). Then they realised what they did well, and did it even better (Fallout 2). This person was told to try new ideas a couple of times - the first one wasn't as good as their previous work (Tactics), and the second one was...

That sad thing is that even the success Fallout 4 is still wasted potential, and that's because it's not an MMO. Fallout 4 has optimal design for a multiplayer game - longevity through repetition, so there's never a shortage of content, but all it does to singleplayer games is make them more...

I tend to switch constantly between both. They're diametrically opposed in terms of focus, which gives a really good balance when you switch to another because you're bored of one. Considering all game genres, those two are my favourites, sharing the same spot on my first buy list. Also - rant...

Which is how that principle is supposed to work, incidentally. It's in even worse in Fallout 4's scenario, at least there's slim justification for that argument with other games. In this case, it constitutes of the base design for the entire game. You do quests to obtain more legendaries. You...

Once both Borderlands 3 and The Elder Scrolls VI have been released, the majority of Fallout 4's fanbase will scurry away, and the game will be left barren once more. The crowd that likes the loot-shooting, wacky characters, colourful designs and (bad) humour will flow away with Borderlands 3...

The franchise was rigged from the start.

They can do literally anything. From what lore there is, it's pretty clear that the Institute is beyond powerful. The only logical reason for them having not cured cancer is that their leadership are composed of idiots, and cannot prioritise. They can teleport anyone anywhere at any time...

O.o Wow. Got it.

No need to treat curiosity and unawareness like the damn plague, I mean come on, forums exist for discussion. Now that you mention it. I've never actually been told what exactly makes FO:BOS crap. I mean, from what I've heard, I'm sure it's really, really bad, but I can't say anyone has ever...

I was just talking about Todd himself, not Fallout directly, and how being good at marketing and pushing ideas is not necessarily a bad thing. Lying is indeed a very human thing and an actual skill, even if not the most morally justified of skills. I feel like there have been many famous...

That won't stop them from trying. If Fallout 4 is any indication, Bethesda is fond of attempting to hurl themselves off a cliff as soon as someone offers to pay them to do it. They will try integration, and they will keep the attempts quiet until one of them is successful. Also, Creation...

I'm enjoying Pete Hines' stalwart defense of the Season Pass price. How did he even get hired as head of Bethesda PR?

Really? I've already failed to meet the minimum criteria for that, too. I have less logic and reason in my brain than water in my body. Still here, though. :razz:

Remind me again how much the base price is? This all seems absurd.

Most of the time, I tend to picture NMA as the cynical, sarcastic, grumbling character that rolls their eyes in exasperation every time something goes wrong and sighs heavily about the state of things, rather than a hatred-filled old man. Neither would I describe the Codex as the old man -...

So, I have the Season Pass from the time when I made bad judgement calls. Should I try to test the waters of this DLC at all? I can enjoy nearly anything and my tastes aren't exactly as high standard as everyone here, but I did dislike Fallout 4 all the same, so does this mean a yes or a no...

I feel the same way. Keep the two out of each other, and you have limitless variety (always a good thing). Keep the two together and you have a mess, like Fallout 4. You know, I recall Yahtzee Croshaw of Zero Punctuation fame saying something about "anything is fun when experienced with...

Most of that still goes to Mark Nelson and Ken Rolston, from what I've inferred. Rolston left after the completion of Oblivion and Nelson left during Fallout 3's development. I have a feeling Fallout 3 brought about a relatively significant change in the development team at BGS. I give credit...
