I'm Sorry for supporting Bethesda

The High Roller
My first Fallout game was Fallout 3. I loved it. It was one of the first open world games I've ever played, so the standards were pretty low. When I stumbled upon NMA for the first times, I was genuinely surprised that there were so many people who disliked the game. I just brushed them off as being blind haters.

I got New Vegas, and I was instantly turned off from it because of the map design.

I started becoming more and more interested into Fallout, so I played the classics. They were strange compared to the modern ones, but I started to really love them.

I played NV again, and I started to pick up on a lot more of the humor, references, lore, and details. I started to like NV more than FO3.

My last mistake was trusting Bethesda to correct their mistakes. While I think it's better than FO3 overall, FO4 is probably one of my most disapointing games of all time. It does so much stuff horribly.

Bethesda caters to the masses, simplifying game after game. It's almost as if they just try to replace their fanbases every decade or so.

Anyway, sorry for being a Bethesda fanboy. I've tried going to Fallout communities like Reddit, but I was turned off by how circlejerky it is. I hope NMA is more reasonable.
 
If you're coming from the Fallout reddit to NMA, then this place must seem like a fortress of hate. I can't even imagine going from the FO Reddit to the Codex.

Don't worry the cleansing process is mostly painless

I was in the exact same position as you. Played FO3 first and loved it. Loved Bethesda. Played New Vegas and thought FO3 was better. Played NV again and realized it had way more playability, etc and so on. Basically almost word for word the same story as you.

Just glad you came to see the light like I did. Though I'll be the first to admit I still have a soft spot for Skyrim and FO3, and I will always love Morrowind. FO4 killed my loyalty to Beth.

while to most reddit user like me, sees the nma like place for the noble demon of hell, codex were seen much like eldritch abomination pure evil of abbys
 
Is it just me, or has Fallout 4 by Beth really made many former F3 fans in to NMAers?

Well it certainly did it for me. I'm assuming if it turned me, someone who owns pretty much every Bethesda game and loves them, into an NMAer, then I'm sure it did to a lot of other people too.
 
Oh, and for the record, I adore your Geno icon. Super Mario RPG was one of the first RPGs I ever played. <3 I think the first I ever played was Chrono Trigger.

That wouldn't surprise me at all... although... I can't really know, because as yet I've not played FO4.

I have seen scathing comments, and disappointing game-play videos of it.

Prior to FO4 I would have said that they had a pretty good handle on their target market ~which was never the Fallout fanbase :( ; maybe they overstepped with their estimation this time.

You are definitely correct in saying Bethesda overstepped with their estimation. They simplified far too much for a lot of their fanbase. I mean I know people that think that Fallout 3 and Skyrim are the greatest RPGs of all time, and they say Fallout 4 is an utter abomination that isn't an RPG. I remember for the first month or so after 4 came out, reddit was full of people expressing how bad the game was. Posts about how Skyrim had much more content, and that Fallout 3 was a better RPG were all over. They truly messed up this time. Many people I know that were previously Fallout 3 fanboys are saying that if the Far Harbor DLC isn't at least on par with Fallout 3, they aren't buying anymore Bethesda games.

I consider most forums to fit that description perfectly. No, scratch that, the YouTube comment section fits it perfectly.
 
Nothing wrong with being a former Bethesda fan. Most Bethesda fans end up this way, myself included. That being said due to you having enjoyed Fallout 3, you will have to pay the "Terrible Taste Tax" to continue posting. Please submit your credit card #, bank account info and etc. to my inbox at your earliest convenience.
 
I started with FO1, was blown away by FO2, Confused by BOS, ignored Tactics, Was excited for FO3 by the trailer, then I was waiting for FO3 to 'get good' when I played it, it never did. I was hesitant about NV because of 3, but I love it and play it like how I still play 2. I knew FO4 would be Fallout 3 with less and that I would be disappointed.

I was a Beth-Fan until joining NMA and my eyes were opened a bit more. An Elder Scrolls game with Emil behind the wheel will be shit, a Fallout game with Emil behind the wheel will be shit.

Slightly off topic, there is word that TESVI would be in Hammerfell because of the whole "Swordsinger trademark" thing (If you have any references please share them) Which does not surprise me. Another Human location with human architecture with lore established in Morrowind. Just another lazy game made by Bethesda. It makes me sad to say it, but I probably won't buy that either.

Also another warrior culture so they can further gimp and gut the magic system.
