That would have been better as far as the introduction goes, but in all honestly.....the game still would've been complete trash with this "dialogue" system. I feel the same way about other cut content, like the Combat Zone. How much difference would the cut content have made for me when the aspect that defines Fallout was, by design, so completely gutted?

It's cool though, I don't mean to attack you for sharing information.....I know that's all you're doing. I have had these thoughts anytime anyone mentions cut content for this game

It would be a better game, though not necessarily a better rpg.

I too don't think original idea wouldn't help to save RP aspect of the game. Because in Fallout 3's prologue, player allowed to interact. Since half of role play happens in player's head, during Vault 101 sequence player was allowed build a role in his head according to options presented.

Fallout 4 on the other hand, takes prologue as a tool to provide a more "cinematic experience" that encourages the player to feel certain emotions. Bethesda Games used to be free of judgement. Unlike Blackisle games where player strictly judged for their morality (with magical tools no less; like karma or perks like slaver child killer); Bethesda games always allowed player to be pragmatic without negative consequences as long as they manage get away with it. Though "getting away with it" was too easy; i always preferred Bethesda's approach.

And now with voiced acting and cinematic approach, this game filled with forced morality and emotions with total ignorance toward what player or the character he tries to role play actually feels...

So the DLC costs 10 bucks, is there enough content in it to match that price? Cause from what I've heard so far, the story is subpar and over rather quickly. Robot design is quite limited and doesn't exactly offer anything else but the option to create new settlers. There's like 4 new weapons and a new power armor.

Is that it?

I mean, 10 bucks. It's 10 fucking bucks... For 'this'?

Someone is displeased with the DLC over at Bethesda forums and created a thread for it and while I must admit that he is awful at detailing why he has issues with it, even so the responses of the apologists are just plain mean.

It's clear that giskard is a fanboy too. Unfortunately for him, no one likes him.

Don't you just love it, he says New Vegas has great DLCs, and the response is, take off your nostalgia glasses. Is New Vegas that old already I wonder?

I have yet to bother with it, but from what I have seen it's build a fuckbot with a small quest, worthless as far as I'm concerned. Those responses are why I never bothered with BGS' forums, constant circle jerking with small breaks to berate someone with a differing opinion.

It will be funny if Obsidian makes another Fallout game, then I can actually say things like "Fallout 4 was crap take off your *nostiliga* glasses!" Until then it's "take off your fanboy goggles"

Here is a question, If Shaun was suffering from Cancer i presume. Why not put the apparent greatest scientific minds and technology to solve the issue? Why make stupid spooky robots that just go "ARGH" and try to shit on regular people?

The Synth's generally serve a purpose,Protecting a certain area with institute operations. So they don't just go around looking for people to kill.

That's an easy answer, it's the same reason Danse is ousted from the BOS and Preston is incompetent; if he cured himself you wouldn't be the leader of the Institute. Due to poor writing and the constant need for BGS to make it's players the leader/high ranking member of things, all logic is thrown out the window.

Can you mod this into a good Fallout game? I want that, but they need a poop animation too. would the pooping inflict damage?

Due to poor writing and the constant need for BGS to make it's players the leader/high ranking member of things.

And in as little time as possible. In Morrowind, it took me a week or two to finish the Mages Guild when I first played it, in Skyrim, 2 hours.

 

[Crni Vuk]

Only if you decide to throw the poop. Unless you talk about the player.

Because "not interested in curing cancer in a post apoc world with talking mutants"

Plus Bethesda wrote Kid in the Fridge. Science fiction isn't their strong suit. Where BioWare would put some effort to make the medical/scientific jargon sound believable and have some basis in actual science, Bethesda puts ghouls in refrigerators for 200 years. We've seen how Bethesda cures FEV in Fallout 4, I'd rather not see their method of curing cancer - I'm quite filled to the brim with the amount of stupid in that game already.

Also this.

WOW that thread is filled with pure ignorance and whatever else that circlejerking can be described as. Yeah it's worth $10 and it totally was not meant to be filled with a lot! Except for the fact that it's 10 fucking dollars! Must be easy to con those people in that thread plus forum in general. Too bad they didn't come out and say far harbor was $40 and wasn't supported by the DLC pass since they wanted to rape their fans' wallets.

I like how one of the comments says that the DLC is "chip money". As in, you're paying the same price for this DLC as you would a single bag of chips. Bullshit, I could buy 4 12 packs of chips for the same price as this DLC.

God, and just think, around the time FO3 came out I would have been one of these twats 7 or 8 years ago. Good thing I found New Vegas and quickly grew out of that phase.

Why does chip money sound like the title of some rap song?
