Well I could probably never bring myself to kill JE Sawyer, but I'd still chalk up killing Emil as a plus for the game. Very satisfying.

They had a chance to learn from Obsidian and chose not to. They had every opportunity and chance to succeed. And I feel bad for anyone who bought the season pass, what a joke. If I wasn't adverse about spending money on Bethesda games before I sure as hell am now. Oh that's right, we're talking...

I think they had a good idea, or at least a setup for a conflict going. I thought the Brotherhood and the Institute made good ideological counterpoints. They just failed to really explore it in a meaningful way.

I saw Enderal and it looked pretty good, I'm looking forward to playing it. And speaking of Enderal, Fallout: Lonestar also ended up moving to work with Fallout 4's engine. I imagine it won't be out for a good 2-3 years, but they're following obsidian's design philosophy and set in Texas, so if...

They don't have any respect for their own lore let alone anyone else's. If they actually had writers who gave a shit they could fix this stuff easily. Hell, I've thought of multiple easy fixes for how it could've made more sense and I'm by no means a professional writer. But that isn't where...

They had the same nonsense in the vanilla. X01 Power Armor suits in random places all over the Commonwealth despite it being made on the Oil Rig after the Great War.

My working theory has always been that Emil was just the guy who had gotten Todd Howard or some Zenimax CEO coffee enough times, and so after all the talented people left Bethesda that person was like "Well shit, do any of you know how to write a story?" and that's how Emil got the job. You will...

Watching this interview where they talk about, "Our fans really wanted to play as raiders" I found legitimately painful. I couldn't make it past 20 seconds. You can tell just how painfully obvious it is just how little they understand about the franchise.

I think a lot of fans would be happier if somebody just decided to start back from 2 and NV and then build FO3 and 4 from the ground up. Bethesda doesn't even care enough to keep it's lore consistent within its own sequels. Seriously, the Mutants in Fallout 4 gave me a brain aneurysm. They...

Friend? Depends on the subs I suppose, but I just say Friend. Thanks, happy to make your acquaintance.

Hello NMA, you might say I'm new here. I've lurked around quite a while but I decided to actually make an account after seeing the pitiful state of the Fallout Community in general post-Bethesda and the absolute travesty that was FO4. Some of the conversation that goes on among Beth fanboys is...
