Todd admits Fallout 4's Dialogue didn't work, you'll never guess what happened next

The only thing that Emil ever wrote that I liked was the Dark Brotherhood in Oblivion, some parts of the Shivering Isles story (the ending was stupid) and a few things in FO3, vault 112 comes to mind. I'm not sure if he did the DLC but I liked most of the FO3 story DLC. Skyrim's writing... The civil war and the Thalmor stuff was interesting and I liked the war table scene in the main quest but that's about it. I don't think he did the Dark Brotherhood in Skyrim, which was the only quest that was worth anything in my opinion. I think the guy is pretty good at writing dark and sadistic stuff, I'll give him that.

Really? I hated the Dark Brotherhood... loved the quests, hated the faction. It tries too hard to be edgy and dark, like a goth teenager.

The Dark Brotherhood quests in Oblivion were at least better than what we have now. The quest where you have to assassinate everyone in the mansion and have them all playing against each other is pretty clever.

If this was a Fallout 4 quest, you'd simply walk into the mansion and shoot, loot, return without talking to anyone.

They were great yes, it's just the faction was meh.
 
...and suck on the dried up tits of some old rich bitch...

Best summary I've read.
Thank you! I don't think there is a faction and characters I hate more then Maven Black-Briar and all of the Thieves Guild characters from Skyrim.Throughout my entire time in Riften I longed for the Legion in NV to show up and burn those dirty profigates on a tire fire and as well as burn down their sinful and degenerate town!:twisted:

Where did the Leg.... BURN THE PROFLIGATES!!!
 
At lest they weren't as bad as the Thieves Guild in Skyrim. Thieves Guild? More like Thugs Guild who do the dirty work and suck on the dried up tits of some old rich bitch who is unkillable, GODDAMN IT!:evil:
The Thiefs guild was probably the most stupid quest line of Skyrim. Not that the other ones have been so great, it's just ... that from the sheer idocy? The Thief guild kinda sticks out.
Not only, do you almost never really steal anything, but it has plot holes so big that you could drive a tanker trough it.

On the plus side I do like the "poetry" of literally stealing the eye of a race gone blind.

Yeah, remember the Thieve's Guild from Morrowind? Hell, remember the Fighter's Guild?

Sure they were just odd jobs but it gave a sense of reality, of commonality. You're a normal trainee thief helping your mates to steal shit.

My favorite part of the fighters guild is when
Percius Mercius starts asking you to murder other members of the guild
 
I found all the Skyrim factions to be dumbed down and sometimes downright stupid. The Dark Brotherhood and Mages Guild quests were pretty *streamlined*. Head of the Mages Guild after like 4 quests LOL.

And the Dark Brotherhood leader got jealous of me or some nonsense. I don't remember the Thieves Guild so much but I remember it being pretty bad also. I completed the entire game, but I definitely wasn't WOW'd by any of the faction quests.

Skyrim was the game that made me immediately worried about Fallout 4. It was pretty dumbed down.

Head of the Mages guild after like 4 quests. Now in FO4 I'm Minutemen General in 0 quests.

Yknow how in Fallout 3 and FNV when you start a new game with DLC's installed and it pops up going "oy, got quest for ya"?
That.
But with instant ranking into the factions.

On a side note, just a quick spiel about Skyrim guilds
  • Companions = extort people for money and hack-and-slash through every other main mission
  • Thieves guild = just kill them all, screw stealth
  • Mage's guild = know two spells (one to get in, then the ward) and that's it
  • Bard's college = fetch quests for days
  • Dark brotherhood was sort of cool, I guess
