Is Fallout 4 more goofy and zany than Fallout 3?

That...... Is really the saddest excuse for a side quest
Someone thought it'd be a great heart warmer; getting this kid back to his parents after 200 years of being apart. But then again, someone also thought it'd be a great thing to have shoe umbrellas. Soo...
I kinda liked the Atom Cats in principle. Power armour seems to quite common, so I guess it makes sense to have some greasers pimping them up.

Sorry, I had to.
 
I've heard a lot about it. What is it?
There is a ghoul that was supposedly trapped inside a refrigerator since 2077 when the bombs fell - he claims he hid in the fridge to protect himself from the nukes.

He has been in that fridge since 2077 (over 200 years) without food or water. This is in direct contrast to ghouls of Necropolis who die of dehydration if you take their water chip. In other words, ghouls in Fallout 4 do not need food or water. When asked about the stupidity of this, Bethesda's VP said the following: "not interested in discussing how realistic things are in an alternate universe post-apoc game w/ talking mutants and ghouls." The actual twitter conversation is amusing:

In addition, the quest is cheesy and cringe-worthy - you take the ghoul to find his parents who were also turned into ghouls during the Great War, and their voice acting is awful and then some other stuff happens that is cheesy and basically if you look up "corny" in the dictionary you will get Kid in the Fridge.
 
I think the Bethesda logic is something like "starvation/asphyxiation/dehydration does HP damage, and ghouls are healed by radiation."
So by Bethesda's logic the fridge he's in gives off radiation that heals him to keep the little bastard alive for the 200 years he's trapped in there?

I guess it was more like "Deadpool has a superduper healing factor, ghouls look like Deadpool, so ghouls are immortal".
Incidentally, I think Deadpool's creator, Rob Liefeld, would be perfectly at home at Bethesda with Petey and The Toddler.
 
What if the logic behind it is that there's food and water in the fridge and he survives off of that for 200 years?

I think one of his lines is that he "ate the pudding a very long time ago".
The logic is that writers are allowed to have some fun.

Even if we accept that the lore is somehow intact and the quest makes "sense" from a lore standpoint, the quest is still one of the most cringeworthy. If you see the scene where Billy meets his Ghoul parents, their dialogue made me stop playing the game. I literally quit the game and went and did something else for the rest of the day.

I have NEVER played a video game that has made me repeatedly cringe and exit the game until Fallout 4.

Well I watched the quest on youtube, no mention of pudding or a struggle for survival just some bad voice acting.

I think it was the answer to some sarcastic option before opening the door.
 
The fucking ghoul mother. "Oh may gaahhhhhhddd."

This quest actually irritated me so much that after completing it, I reloaded to before doing it and erased all of the relevant NPCs from the game world. Fuck them and whoever wrote this garbage - hack writers who can't figure out whether they're trying to be cute or clever or sappy. This quest is none of those things, it's just pure shit.

That "OH MY GOD BILLY!" line is EXACTLY what I am referring to in my above post. It was so cringe-worthy I exited the game IMMEDIATELY.

I made a post about trying Fallout 4 with the female character but now after remembering this kind of crap I'm going to dive into Underrail.

There I fixed the quest for you guys!
 
Good idea, it's much more worthy of your time.
Underrail is love, Underrail is life.
I'm honestly afraid to even start the game because it looks like you can in fact make a bad character (which I like). Currently doing research on the various stats. Very excited to play the game. If you have any advice on builds/perks/skills please let me know in the thread on the general game/hardware discussion forum that I made.

Don't subject yourself to that. I honestly can't believe people are still playing FO4, I stopped before November was over lol. No offense of course, but it's honestly one of the most boring games I have ever played.
