When you say “Fallout-style” do you mean “Fallout-style” or do you mean “Bethesda Open World Game-style”? Because... that new XCOM-style game about the world being covered in some creepy fog that freaky mutant monsters emerge from is pretty Lovecraftian. What was it called... phoenix something?

Also, there’s Secret…

Wearing my geek pride here. I loved the fact that Lynda Carter married the head of Zenimax and that she graciously lent her voice to the Elder Scrolls series since the Morrowind days. So. Damn. Awesome!

Lynda Carter is 65 years old.

Can I just say that I’m really looking forward to stabbing and face shooting American terrorists and religious fanatics for a change? This feels like it’ll be arefreshing and much needed change to the formula.

It just ends up being like every other relationship

This isn’t actually that new. Bioware did nearly the exact same thing following Dragon Age 2. They put the franchise on ice for a little bit, got some distance, studied the data and fan reaction and learned. When they came back to it in Inquisition it was a much better game all around. Mass Effect certainly isn’t…

It would make a lot of sense to make that kind of change given what they say and what their goals likely are. Otherwise, it’s really weird to talk about hubs that already exist, and there’s no real way to emphasize single-player when there’s hundreds (maybe I’m being too generous: a dozen) of other Chosen Ones killing…

Right? This is the only question I’ve had during this whole revamp. Make it more accessible to single players, change the miserable crafting system, and let me play it from my couch on my big screen. I’ll buy it again in a flash for the PS4.

Judging by the video, my impression is that the biggest change would be instead of it being an open world MMORPG, they’ve turned it into the same game but you only see other players in fixed, central hubs like the tree place (I haven’t played much) and not in the open world anymore unless you’re partied with them.

My first thought was she looked somewhere between Aisha Tyler and Keri Washington.

They pretty much said so in their Reddit AMA recently. They also want to do another Alpha Protocol.

Now I’m imagining playing all the way to the Battle of Hoover Dam, all the different factions are clashing, there are bodies everywhere -

Except the campaign of the original Battlefront 2 (man is that weird to say) following the troopers of the 501st was pretty freaking fantastic, so never write such things off too quickly.

Yes, that’s one of the reasons. The 286th reason, actually. I appreciate your acknowledgement of my properly placed priorities, but my name isn’t Mac.

Another lesson: Don’t have children.

Reason #286 that I’ll never have children.

The update allows you to skip the travel sequences in space. Though those landing and takeoff cutscenes are effectively the loading screens for the zones. Though I wish the ship would not take off when all I want to do is check my damn e-mail. Take off when I go to the galaxy map, not when I board the ship.

It really bothers me the way people get sucked into the meta-narrative of a games development.

It does my heart good being able to post my favorite Hentai Woody pic.
