Whaaa? Kid in what sense? I was playing Wasteland in high school on my AppleII. I suppose it's possible that you're older than me, and maybe even that you have more experience with the post-apocalyptic genre, but I doubt it.
I was also with Napoleon at Waterloo! What?
Just like how that claim is hard to support, so is yours as you have given zero evidence otherwise.
Aside from the rather amusing point that I undoubtedly have more understanding of game development and I also happen to have been around the setting far more than most of the developers you mention, what do YOU think? I've already pointed out the facts, but you decided to ignore them.
In any case, I'm not saying we should keep our mouths shut, and I'm sure Bethesda wants constructive criticism. That said, they knew what they were getting themselves into when they chose to acquire the license. They know Fallout fans are the most rabid of any game. They must have known how they'd be roasted here at NMA and other fan sites.
Relevance to Adherence to Design: 0%
We're still wondering where you have any basis for your crackheaded assumption that Bethesda knows the material because they are either great developers or because TES sold a few units. Where does you illogic stem from?
We only know when they prove that they do. To insist that they do without proof is quite misplaced, as we've been down this route before. Aside from the initial SNAFU of an interview being garbled, nothing has really pointed contrary to it or for it. That still doesn't mean that people can't voice why they don't want to see the game turned into some mass-marketed crap, as long as they do so intelligently.
You still have failed to provide any reason why we should entertain your drivel, as your initial post would be quite laughable by anyone with a sense of design. The only way for Bethesda to prove that they do know the material is to prove it themselves, if they chose to. That's their decision, but it wouldn't earn much trust.
Instead of the more humane route that has since failed (pulling your head from your ass), and I do apologise to other people on this forum who have had to deal with the failed results of that wish, I have a much better solution that requires fewer muscles since uncorking your head from your buttocks is too much of a strain for you.
Just clench and end it all, boy.
Maybe that's why I'm not as passionate with regards to the rag doll damaged goods whore that is the Fallout license. I know there's much, much more to PA than just Fallout, and I know there are better places to look for it: namely, inXile.
Now that's funny. Fargo's already raped himself a little more Bard's "Tale" to the point where many of the old-timers don't like it. But that's okay, he's not making it for them. He's making it for the Lowest Common Denominator. Please, give us more uneducated drivel, we enjoy the humor. Or rather, don't, and save yourself some credibility. Your manner of posting flamebiat isn't exactly too welcome.
Of whom am I a fanboy? I only played Morrowind until the novelty of shiny water died off.
Hey, you were the one who posted unfounded claims about Bethesda's understanding. That's YOUR fault, idiot, not mine.
oS as a dire warning to anyone straying from the formula?
