So what lore has Bethesda done gone fucked up?

7 - The Institute is supposed to be the peak of technology and intelligence within the wasteland, which is even hinted by Mr.House. Yet, in the end, we realize that they didn't invent anything. Every single one of their accomplishments was already made 200 years before them. The SHI shit on them on every single technological point, and they are a gang of submariners. The Institute even get outsmarted by Curie, which is a 200 years old product.

Someone else brought this up, so I can't take credit for it, but ...

The Institute is so advanced that they've developed a cure for cancer, but no one there thinks to give the drug to their leader, who's dying of cancer.

The Railroad is a super secret organization that is trying to hide from the Institute, so they naturally have a big red line on the ground leading straight to their secret base, and the password to that base is "Railroad" because of course it is.

The factions in Fallout 4 aren't exactly smart. Even the super ultra casual gamers must realize how stupid the writing is.

And then there's Elder Maxson who just shows up, yells "Instatoot BAD HURR DURR!" and so you end up with three factions of babies vying for power in the dumbest story I've ever seen in an RPG.

It's like they saw New Vegas having 3 factions and said "ok all we need is 3 factions vying for power" and forgot to actually have good writing for those factions.

There is a different type of PIPBOY for every game, so not every PIPBOY is guaranteed to be the same.

I actually half agree with you here man. I don't think there should be a New pipboy for every game but in the pipboy 3000 is better for a 3d game than the 2000 model was. I have no issue with the new pipboy.

Perhaps their leader is... retarded? I mean he's related to Gun-em-before-you-say-hi Jack?

Simple Jack, produced by the Institute.

I say at this point they've sort of castrated New Vegas by sticking stupid aliens into it. They might as well copy Mass Effect and have different alien races and let the player choose what race they want to play as. New Vegas(the game not the lore) is fine but the lore is a mess now that Bethesda took a permanent marker and scribbled gibberish all over it while giggling and pissing themselves.

It's not so bad, we can take as the mad rantings of... a super... human... hmmm...
 
I recall someone said you can look at everything Bethesda's done as the ramblings of a New Reno junkie. Aliens under the Mojave is a perfect example of that.

That would make sense, the restoration project did add a little Todd that wanted to go to the East Coast and liked explosions.
