How many of us actually finished FO4?

But he delivers the best version of Fallout's famous line.

[/sarcasm] Jesus Christ it's so awful, with the "inspirational" music and the total misunderstanding of what that line actually fucking means. Just watch the first Fallout intro, you get chills from it.


Why does that scenario seem awfully familiar to me, almost as if it's happened before?

No I must be imagining it, Bethesda wouldn't recycle something from a previous game.

That's a really awfully delivered "War Never Changes", I'm glad I didn't finish the game just to witness that. Up til now I had no idea how the game ends, they really have you nuke Boston at the end of the game? Honestly it seems like they made the entirety of Fallout 4 as a way to have a game full of "Coolio Stuff". Minecraft-esque world building that forces you to grind for parts? Coolio. Power Armor EVERYWHERE? Coolio. Dogmeat yet again? Super Coolio. Your motioneless baby son is now an old man? Coolio^3. Same damned radio soundtrack as FO3 plus 4 songs? Guess what? F*cking Coolio.
 
One thing I really don't get.

They have Ron Pearlman in the game.
They get the player character to copy Ron's voice, but do a poor job of it.
So instead of getting the real Ron Pearlman, we get fake Ron Pearlman.

I'm being serious when I say that I couldn't tell if it was Ron's voice or not when I first played the game.
When I found out it wasn't, I was heartbroken.

I'm not too sure if it was me wanting to have Ron back and my mind playing tricks on me or if the VA for Nate (the Player Character, like fuck does he get called the Sole Survivor) was honestly told to replicate Ron's style of voice acting.

I'm not sure if the VA is good or not, but it seems that someone fucked up on what the intro should actually be.

There was a very distinct tone that Ron was always going for, he was both angry and bitter by the events of the series. It was almost like hearing your granddad recount war stories and then he went off on a ten minute rant on the government.
Yet, here the VA sounds rather optimistic, which almost goes against the idea of the series in general.

When I completed F2 (this is after I finished New Vegas) and Ron told me I would never see Marcus again, I generally felt a bit upset. The voice acting has that kind of effect. I feel that Marcus was my friend in this adventure and the Tribal felt attached to him, yet the victory split them apart.

Fallout 4 just has our player say "Well, the Wastes are okay again" and then have that fucking phrase repeated without any context.

I think Fallout 1 said it once and my god, it echoed throughout the game.

Fallout 4 has it said 3 times in the intro alone and it wears out its welcome.

How the bloody bloody bloody hell does Bethesda bloody fuck that up?

@Millim see this is why you'll never develop amazing RPGs for Bethesda. Too much talkie not enough pew pew pew and dugmeet.

So my RPG where I question the genre as a whole and make a point that the choices the player makes in the game are really manipulated by the NPCs they meet in the game and are limited through a certain number of choices but also allowing the player to break the game and essentially killing the games devs to free themselves from their control and essentially live their life will never be a grand masterpiece like your son being kidnapped by some dude and then for him to be an old man and the head of a science place where they make androids for shits and giggles while a faction tries to free them, another wants to blow them up and the last one wants to sit on their asses and help smaller communities with problems halfway across the game map because apparently everyone in Boston is paranoid that ghouls will attack two low-key famers out in the middle of nowhere?

Damn, I should give up and become a whore.

Fallout 3 is shit because I can't just walk away from conversations.

agree

i dont like talkie but i like the explorie.

Here's one from my Bank of Bethesdrones:
Seriously though Fallout 4 is far far superior to both 3 AND new vegas. Why? Player freedom. You are forced into conversations in Fallout 3 and new vegas. But it was worse in new vegas. Bethesda are better than Obsidian because they listen to their fans. They removed forced conversations. Just goes to show that Bethesda know what they're doing, I feel sorry for the whiny babies that don't like their games.

Yes they have the most iconic voice of Fallout...relegated to a few lines on the TV. Great work there Bethesda!

Not including the military uniform in the closet? "Huh, war never changes." Why the fuck would he say that over and over? Is it his catchphrase or something?

"If my time in the army taught me one thing, it's that war never changes."

What the fuck is he talking about?

At least his wife doesn't say it as much.

Dude, it's a good writing, bethesda fixed the plot holes left in previous games like the Enclave in F2, and BoS are beautiful here after F3. Dialogs? Grow up already, it's a show, not always tell kind of game. /s & obvious :falloutonline:
 
I finished the main game but not the DLC. I didn't want to give them monetary support, but I planned on doing a review.
