He added a word filter that changed all links to Nukapedia to The Vault and wanted to reinstate the Roshambo-style government where everyone dancing out of line gets the banhammer.
Meh, I still enjoyed the read. While I doubt Bethesda thought that far ahead, anything that adds some sort of proper connection is something I can appreciate, intended or otherwise.
Ooh, he used the "hating" argument. Yes, we only hate things here. The Fallout 1, 2 and New Vegas's praise in this forum is fucking imaginary, we just hate things here.I wouldn't go as far, but it definitely lost its way. As it turns out, building your identity on hating things, rather than something positive, is really deleterious in the long run.

I'm more of a Nukapedia guy myself, so I don't use The Vault much. Is The Vault more reliable or is it about as trustworthy as Nukapedia?He added a word filter that changed all links to Nukapedia to The Vault
I honestly think this is disgusting. There's having speculation and leave at that, and then there's going to a wiki to write a wall of text that is either baseless or it has very few ground to stand on and then add that to a place people go to read about stuff on the franchise.He (Tag) probably wanted to use The Vault because he actively curates the content there, which makes his lore write ups massively biased because he's citing sources from material he abstracted/interpreted.
The funny thing is that even that strawman argument has a point: There is nothing wrong with hating on a company that is ruining a formerly beloved franchise with their rampant stupidity and flat out moronic writing and game design.
Beats me. He says that he just "grew up" and that his job in gaming gave him a "greater appreciation" of the franchise. Dunno what that really means.Was Tagaziel a secret asshole?
Yeah, this is honestly my theory. Can't talk shit of the industry you are in if you want a job in it. I read posts of him from years ago and he didn't seemed to be like this. Sure, he disagreed with people in some stuff, but not to this extreme.Sounds more to me "I learned how to keep my mouth shut if I would like to get paid."

I switched from an exclusionist to an inclusionist approach a while back, right around the time I stopped billing myself as a member of a certain Internet forum out of embarrassment, and as such, additions to the lore don't bother me.
