So what lore has Bethesda done gone fucked up?

I like your thinking. Has this Assassin's Creed thing going on - kids love this, no? We gotta put that into the game. Money. You know?


Fallout 4 base game check up:
Super Mutants... check
Ghouls... check
Raiders... check
Brotherhood of Steel... check
Enclave... missing

We're missing Enclave for the Fallout formula to work. Better get this fixed straight away with a DLC.

virtual reality is also teased, that's an excuse for them to do ANYTHING. Ironically it's the least destructive way of utilizing their ridiculous ideas. Though it could go horribly wrong with pre-war/history simulation.

Hopefully they'll use it to reveal the main plot of Fallout 4 was just a simulation like in Total Recall, that would excuse the ridiculous 2077 50's opening.

I still support the Magic Mushroom theory, basically Fallout 3 and 4 are the imaginings of a man on shrooms.

Do shrooms still exist in the Fallout universe? I guess they were in Point Lookout but then Point Lookout would just be part of the hallucination, so did the LW incept himself, was the LW a hallucination or real? So many questions!

Point Look out did exist, but the events were exaggerated by the drugs. The Pit was totally real, but the drugs addled his mind and made them connected.
 
A bad dream while being in a coma would be preferable as well. It would make me smile for something like that to happen, the person then wakes up from their coma in a cold sweat talking about how they seen a kid locked in a fridge for 200 years without anything, Cabot house and the alien city under the Mojave, the ridiculous Megaton place with a bomb in the middle, Children of the Atom living in the Glowing Sea filled with rads, the Glowing Sea, etc.
 
Someone said Bethesda told Obsidian they couldn't do Area 51. Is the Cabot House a precursor to some dumb DLC Bethesda have planned for it?
 
Not only is what they have planned for Area 51 shameful when it comes to the Fallout Universe but a huge kick in the groin if they plan to shovel out that turd as a DLC for money!
 
Considering you can get Area 51 mods for Fallout New Vegas it seems stupid to buy an "official" Area 51 DLC considering the mods will probably be better written than anything Bethesda comes up with.
 
But...but it's from Bethesda, well known for their award winning story and dialogue from Fallout 3 like this:

Plus it's canon in the Fallout universe once Emil scribbles it in crayon while taking "inspiration" from other popular games writes it while he's bored.

I'm intrigued to see what the first DLC is going to be but it's probably going to be another Hearthfire DLC but with extra assets that contribute to the game in NO meaningful way unless you like playing dress up with bitchy ungrateful NPCs like Marcy Long.
 
Emil Pagliarulo would be fine writing games for where the story doesn't matter. Dishonored didn't exactly have a top-notch story but the game itself was great. So long as there's a co-writer to make sure he doesn't completely mess it up.

He did write Thief 2: Metal Age, which sold itself mostly on the gameplay, the main character, and the sometimes hilarious dialogue while sneaking past guards, which Emil did just fine again in Fallout 4, I wonder if he ever realised he's writing for a different game now.

Just like I wonder if Todd Howard realises he's directing the development of Terminator: Future Shock again. For people who aims for modern mass appeal, they are stuck pretty far in the past.
 
Dishonoured was written by Emil? Whaaat?

And to be honest, I liked the Dishonoured story. If we take out all the forced emotion over the Empress, blah, blah, blah.
 
The Thief 2 imdb page doesn't have him listed a writer, and his imdb page says he did voices and he was a designer, but no writing credits.
