"Kid In The Fridge" Quest = the stupidest quest ever.

If I could start people on fire with my mind, I would use it on the vast majority of people who commented there defending this indefensible total garbage idea.

edit: I just noticed PH parroting the completely nonsense claim that "they took a risk by buying fallout and making a game when NOBODY ELSE would" and even when faced with evidence that contradicts it he refuses to back down from this absurd line of reasoning.
This is where stupid claims come from that the Beth fans spray at us as if they are gospel.

This is the idea that generated the whole "you should just be happy someone made another fallout game and stop complaining" line that we've heard ad nauseum, which ignores the fact that what they make are Fallout games in name only, and that if they had not bought it, a more capable RPG developer would have.

The fun part is, that you can see now some people actually saying that, that Fallout 4 is moving so far away from what Fallout is, that you can barelly call it a Fallout game anymore. There is even some article on Kotaku for christs sake.

But where have those people been, no clue, a couple of years ago when F3 was in development or after the release? Is F4 really so different to F3? Both games are shallow. And both games are far away from what Fallout was supposed to be.

We criticised Fallout made by Bethesda before it became cool!

For me the turning point was Fallout 4 because Fallout 3's dialogue system, quests, and DLC had a lot going for it even though it was a departure from Fallout 1 and 2. I've made no secret that I think Fallout 3 was a great game and that Fallout New Vegas was a tremendous improvement on it. For me, the new dialogue system and terrible writing, repetitive base clearing quests, and MMORPG grindfest that is Fallout 4 is, in fact, a departure from even Fallout 3.

So as someone who began the series with Fallout 3 and liked it, played Fallout 1 and 2 and liked those, Fallout 4 feels like too far a departure from RPG territory. In other words, it was the point at which I said "the game is getting too dumbed down at this point" which for many other people was probably Fallout 3.

the reasoning might be that while F3 was a good post apocalypse game, it was not Fallout. it was, as the NMA community joked it to be : oblivion with guns.

BUT it was still considered an RPG because it had good RPG elements in it. there were still dialogue options and choices though they were not as developed as black isle's Fallout. Fallout 4 fucks it up in favor of an even further dumbed down, and non-functioning, dialogue wheel from ME/DA series which is IMO one of the WEAKEST features of these games. so of all the things Bethesda could take from DA or ME they actually chose the worst feature of those games which questioned the RPG quality of them and partially implemented them to replace the traditional, but functioning, dialogue system.

the fact that most of the time we end up with yes/yes options and the protagonist has voice for all of them suggests that this problem did not stem from lack of resources but errors in the creative/writing department. so I won't blame the new voiced protagonist option for this shortcoming, I blame the guy who handed the voice actor those dialogues and those who came up with these writings.

so, you might be a bethesda Fallout fan, or a bethesda skyrim fan, or a traditional fallout fan, it doesn't matter, because F4 universally fucked the RPG aspect of Fallout no matter which version of Fallouts you like because they were all RPG games at least.

Did that fridge even have a lock? I mean if it didn't then why didn't he leave or die from certain conditions depending on what was going on at the time after everything cleared up? Ugh this whole quest is so stupid it doesn't even make sense and some Nu-Fallout fanboy is defending this crap.

It is one of those old school 50's fridges, with a latch and a handle. It couldn't be opened from the inside. Someone posted a link to wikipedia and according to the article, it was a real concern and the US government forced a design change that wouldn't allow for such a tragedy, as several kids died this way.

This is trufax...
It's kind of a fun call out. The execution is... lackluster.

A pre war ghoul parent sending you to try and find the kid might have been a better idea. Possibly like a Casey Anthony grown up after 200 years kinda thing... But even then it'd be a stretch.

Fridge Kid was probably the dumbest thing I ran into since playing the game. Almost as bad are the fact his parents live right outside of a massive Gunner base. I though Fridge kid was the worst, but Norwegian Ghouls on a ship wreck ship is pretty close as well.

or maybe put a little skeleton inside a closed fridge with the protagonist saying something like "ah...always feared something like this would happen to Shaun!"

I mean, cmon there were LOADS of better ways to do it.

Or even better, not do it at all. FNV with the wild wasteland perk(or without?) had a fridge joke as a reference to Indiana Jones, I believe, and that's enough. It was cool, it was random but it wasn't a quest or anything, just something you stumble upon, laugh(Or as in my case, not get the joke because I didn't see the movie) and just carry on with your business. In F4 there is a whole quest attached to the ridiculous situation.

Snapped the words right out of my mouth
I was just imagining, the ghoul parents ask you to find their kid - you follow a marker, and find a skeleton inside a fridge.
It would be fittingly morbid, and a little bit funny, and you could go back and bring them the sad news. It would be a pointless little mission, but markedly less retarded.

(this way it could be a reference to kids locking themselves in fridges, and less to do with the Indiana Jones thing as well)
