Even Caesar gave you a better explanation on why he's crucifying and enslaving people.
They even managed to create such an explanation that made them a viable choice for RPG purposes, not just
"Legion bad, kek". The first time I actually sat down and listened to his whole dogma and shtick I was genuinely impressed by the thought put into it; too bad it's all gutter trash once Caesar himself dies.
idk but i genuinely wish for them to pull a Rockstar Games and milk the shit out of 76 for years on end instead of making a new entry in the series.
Now
that is wishful thinking, but we can only hope. Eventually the Fo4 New Vegas mod will actually finish and we can enjoy that until Armageddon, but that might also be wishful thinking.
At the very least they should take a long, hard look and take time until 5 comes out.
They had seven years I think with Fo4 to sit back and think to be honest, and that dumpster fire came out of it; it ain't the time and effort part of the equation that's out of wack, it's the understanding of the IP, or more probably the attempts to evolve it past the old entries or one-up the old formulae. When Obsidian makes a game in eighteen months that blows all the other modern releases out of the water and Bethesda had
seven years. I mean, I could go on
the tangent about how Bethesda's Fallout is lip-service disguised as paid-mods attempts, but I won't beat
that dead horse anymore than it already has.
But for my own predictions for the fifth installment... I honestly have no clue. Earlier posters who mentioned San Fran had a point, but they won't touch west coast in my opinion; west coast seems to be delegated to the old boys from Black Isle, which in my opinion is totally fine. If they want to keep all their games of in the east coast, it won't hurt my feelings none. If they wanted to do something interesting, they could plant a plotline in a location on the US/Canada border and shed some light on that
(questions I've had since I watched Fo1's intro) but what are the odds that Fallout will
ever do that, let alone Bethesda?
All the company is interested in now is truly money rackets that will net
the big M with the least effort into actual plotlines and believable stories; 76 was supposed to be that cash cow, and I was hopeful when I first saw the trailers. Assuming Bethesda hasn't yet just dry docked the IP to make room for their new love children, I wouldn't be surprised at all manner of flair and fluff to lead to a half-baked entry that is Fallout in name only regardless of location, storyline
(or lack thereof), and characters. Never mind technology and retcons to make their art department's redesigns fit into the world -- no matter how shoe-horned in.
Either way though, I imagine it will be
yet another coastal city, so that they don't need to flesh out over a third of the game world; what with all that
ocean.
