Fallout: New Orleans at E3 this year?

I seriously hope Obsidian isn't doing another V:TM game. At the suggestion of the people in the podcast, I tried the game and it... er... It wasn't very good. I got annoyed just doing the tutorial. It was that bad. If Obsidian is doing another game, I really hope it's a new Fallout game in the vein of New Vegas. The problem for me is that I have very specific tastes, meaning that if Fallout goes back to an isometric style or goes full on beth crazy, I'm kinda screwed.

You really should give the game another try. It's a masterpiece. You can just skip the tutorial you know, it's not really needed, the game's easy enough to figure out without it. Only beneficial thing out of the tutorial is a free lockpicking tool. I'd recommend getting the unofficial patch for the game, it fixes a lot of bugs and restores a lot of cut content.

I want to get into that game so bad because I have a HUGE thing for vampires. It's really stupid but my biggest hangup is I don't like the way the characters you have to choose from look. It's so superficial but it REALLY starts to bother me.

If you don't like the way the default player characters look, I'm pretty sure there's mods for it. If not, there's definitely some visual rework mods that might make them suit your fancy. There's a whole forum dedicated to mods for this game. It has a very dedicated fanbase.

I wasn't saying the biggest problem was the tutorial or anything. I was just saying that I got annoying doing the tutorial. It was all downhill from there. I just didn't care for it too much. It, like Fallout 4, had tons of great ideas, but lacked in execution.

That, and I just don't like vampires. Angel was pretty good, but most vampire fiction bores me.
 
Dude I can count all the good vampire-themed intellectual properties with my fingers; writers either don't know how to do Vampires or vampires just suck.
 
Hardly enough porn with vampires either.

Anyway, vtmb is great. It might be a game you need to kind of push yourself through at the start though. Yknow, like, when there is a game that is really good but you've never played it and now that you want to try it out because it is dated you feel like something's missing, like it doesn't resonate with you. With some of those games you need to try and abandon whatever expectations you have and just slowly let yourself soak in it until finally it clicks and you've adjusted to what the game is rather than what you thought it was gonna be and you can begin to immerse yourself fully.

...

Does that make any sense to anyone else? Cause it's what it has been like for me with some games that are dated. I just find their controls so clunky, the levels so scant, the animations so poorly done and it just feels unpolished, like I'm playing a game that will never take off that has been produced by pre-made Unity assets. Like, I have a modern mindset and I need to kind of flick the switch in my head and return to a 90's/early 2000's mindset of what a game is supposed to be like.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Still, you might have too much of a modern mindset to try out vtmb, my suggestion is to keep at it for another hour or so and see if it clicks or not. If it still doesn't then I guess you can't do it. It sucks when something everyone says is awesome is old and dated and because of that you just can't get into it.
 

See, I liked what you were saying, until I saw you made Hillary Clinton into a vampire with your icon. Now I never want to see vampires again.

But yeah, I know exactly what you mean. When I went from Fallout 3 to playing the original 2 games, I wasn't exactly impressed, and I didn't really like the isometric view. After I let Fallout 3 fade from my mind however, I was able to get immersed in both of them and I ended up actually really enjoying the combat, the story, the way your build changes pretty much everything your character can do, etc etc. It worked the same way for me going from Dragon Age Inquisition to Dragon Age Origins (both of which I adore)
 
Ah, the Iron Bull. Now THAT'S an interesting romance. Also extremely heartbreaking depending on what you did in his personal quest.

Oh yeah, and it also shows how to do voiced player characters correctly.

:c I.. I liked Dragon Age Inquisition. I didn't find it boring at all. I did think the DLCs were shit though. Origins' were much better. Never played DA2, never will.

To each their own. I found the setting far too generic, to the extent where I had no motivation to continue after you go to that one town (right after you find the witch lady, I believe). That's in Origins. In Inquisition I bailed after 4-5 hours of questing where I was accomplishing literally nothing, story or character wise.

I agree with this, they went way to far out of their way to make a fantasy world represent medieval Europe, I still played the shit out of it though. Inquisition on the other hand I played once and that was through sheer willpower, that game was a worse offline MMO than FO4; collect 10 ram meat, find this person and then come all the way back, go someplace you've already been because now this person is there, etc. The war table missions you sent people on sounded way better than the ones actually in game.
