I hope one of those projects is dumping 30-50 million dollars into developing a new engine for any future open world games.

my money’s on a Fargoth adventure game. all true TES fans have been clamoring for a game centered on Fargoth for a long, long time

Nice to see people making some new open world survival games.

Bethesda said they didn’t create multiplayer co-op in Fallout 4 because of VATS and I’m just thinking...”So turn it off for Multiplayer” VATS really isn’t that vital. Seems like a pretty reasonable compromise. Co-op would make these games so much better, it’s lonely in the wasteland.

Fallout stopped being a game about making decisions after New Vegas. The dialog system in fallout 4 is utter garbage and the choices don’t matter.

After reading opinions like yours for a few years I think it’s only fair I try both games!

Hooray for strawmen!

Although Dragon Age 2 would have benefited from a longer dev cycle, the one thing that pissed many fans the most is the fact that instead of the straightforward (and blunt, and cliché) power fantasy of Origins, Hawke haplessly went from one tragedy to next.

I think Gaider was disappointed in Inquisition. As someone who’s read his books, they’re so much more political, and hint at a far darker and more interesting world than we see in the games.

“You spend years putting together a massive, ambitious RPG. After countless hours of hard work, y—-”

You severely overestimate the talent and work Bethesda puts into their games. I’m sorry. I’m involved with games development and their games are a blatant, obvious mess of nobody having any semblence of care for their…

You know what makes New Vegas better than fallout 3 and 4? In New Vegas, your actions have consequences. While there is always a way to beat the main game, you can mess up a whole lot of things, make it impossible for you to advance with certain factions because they hate you, etc.

I’m for anything that makes Fallout 4 more than just a kinda old looking shooter. I keep trying to find something to care about in that game, and failing. None of the characters are really compelling, and your interactions with them are so shallow.

It’s just a testament to how Bethesda were never really that great. I mean, from the games I’ve played, Oblivion, Skyrim and very little of Fallout 3, I just think what I played of Fallout New Vegas was more impressive, especially in how the writing felt much more professional. For the most part I think all Bethesda…

That is mostly because Fallout New Vegas actually felt like a real Fallout game. It had the writing, the humor and the atmosphere but also the mechanics of the old games. Fallout 3 and 4 are not bad games but they are missing the feeling of being a Fallout game. Just an apocalypse setting does not make it a Fallout…

I adore morrowind but I’ve never been entirely convinced bethesda planned it to be that good, more that they kept rolling the dice and eventually came out with something better than they expected, a view that oblivion and skyrim only reinforced lol :p

I don’t think many people are saying Fallout 4 isn’t fun. It’s got it’s moments, and it’s probably the best at being a shooter out of the the three new ones of these.

Never stopped being a buggy mess for me. Yet, I put 238 hours into it, and I loved every moment. I’ll deal with crashes all day long for it, even janky combat.

The New Vegas story and some of the game mechanics introduced were great, but yeah; visually it was horribly dated - especially the casino interiors. Blech! I actually dreaded when I had to enter them as part of a quest.
