I'm glad that he turned out to be innocent. The rate of false sexual abuse accusations is still extremely low in comparison to true accusations, much less compared to the rate of unreported sexual abuse, so I'm not really interested in complaining about the women who accused him. Ultimately...
It sucks that he was affected by the sanctions, but I wouldn't take that as a sign the sanctions are inherently bad. Hopefully the files have been backed up by him and other people, and can be uploaded elsewhere.
JHE is genuinely an interesting character and it's a shame the game's writing is so hacky that he (or almost anyone else for that matter) isn't explored much. The idea of the leader of the east coast Enclave and "President of the US" being an insane AI who wants to enact his own version of the...
You'd think Bethesda would know to pay attention to detail given the high fidelity of modern triple-A games, which they happen to make. Maybe it'll be fixed or already has been fixed - the game's not even out yet, after all. I guess we'll see.
As for boycotting Starfield, well...
Fallout 76 is such an online-only, microtransaction-pushing grindfest I don't think I could be bothered to play it. I barely slogged through Fallout 4 as it was.
Indeed, and it's not even that post nuclear with the way they've treated the setting. In Fallout 3 and Fallout 4, people were still scrounging in the ruins and aping pre-war '50s style culture, not building anything new, over 200 years after the Great War. At least their environment design makes...
Er...guess.
(Technically the Enclave guy you can contact from Gecko might not be a commander or commanding officer, but given that he can supposedly dispatch Vertibird kill teams to the player, it's debatable.)
So, I finished my last ever playthrough of Fallout 3 on Xbox. Liberty Prime is blown up only for the Brotherhood to revive him again in Fallout 4, because why get rid of a popular character? When you assault Adams AFB the game literally gives you a superweapon that makes the ensuing fight much...
Oh.
Well...that would kind of put a halt to things, I guess. Unless there's someone insane enough to reverse engineer it, but I have no idea if there's someone that nuts out there.
A console release would almost certainly be a remastered or enhanced version of some kind, that's a good point. Don't know why I didn't think of it before. It's also true that Bethesda may not care enough to do a good job of such a release. If it ever happened, I'd be rightly skeptical just like...
