    Is Fallout 4 more goofy and zany than Fallout 3?

    With the logic Beth comes up here - the father figure to the Lone Wanderer from F3 would have had to turn into a ghoul then and not die. But hey, fuck that - we have a "No Kill Children" policy going on, makes sense the freaking kid turns into a ghoul.

    The good aspects to Fallout 3?

    The Pitt - now that was something I did appreciate. At least the concept felt good - this industrial, slaver city. The game really did miss out on more of this theme. I like the touch on the Anchorage Memorial statue - seeing the photograph, that inspired the statue, being taken before your own...

    If you could see a headcanon justifying any Bethesda retcon, what would it be?

    You can't blame the craftsmen - they did their job. Hell, I feel pity for them in every big game development company. Looking at the concept art pieces, the models, etc. They did their job and they did a good one there - but it's always the guy that pulls the strings, the one with clean hands...

    Bethesda announces another E3 press conference

    Bioshock... hmmm. Children of Atom... hmmmm. Why can't I shake off the feeling there's gonna be something of a Bioshock Infinite with the Children of Atom, mixed with some Chinese communists. But otherwise, I expect some Doom discussions here - makes sense since it's coming out on May (correct...

    Is Fallout 4 more goofy and zany than Fallout 3?

    Atom Cats, everyone? I mean, ok, sure, you give Power Armor to the main protagonist that early - chosen whatever, gameplay mechanic... fine. But really?! Some greasy punks running around in pimped out Hot Rod Power Armors?! What is this? The Tunnel Snakes finding a piece of Power Armor in the...

    If you could see a headcanon justifying any Bethesda retcon, what would it be?

    The game direction is set from the start, with a few changes later in the development but not as big as to encompass the dumbing down of the RPG elements as seen in Fallout 4. While BS certainly had their hands in what came to be the end product - BGS certainly had the general concept of what...

    If you could see a headcanon justifying any Bethesda retcon, what would it be?

    I have nothing against Obsidian attempting their take on Fallout again, but as Zig commented above: I would dare to compare Obsidian's position in this as that of greater mod development teams out there, working hard to fix the actual game, adding to it, etc. So much time 'wasted' on fixing...

    Everyone, stand back... I just 'had fun' playing FO4.

    Exactly. Fully agree with your statement - nicely concludes my rambling above. It is a game that focuses on quick and short stimulation and if enjoyed as such, it can offer fun. Try more of it, deeper and it will quickly run shallow with disappointments which will in term leave you feeling...

    If you could see a headcanon justifying any Bethesda retcon, what would it be?

    I'd rather have something substantial to the Fallout universe happen in their DLC's or even future games. More then these whimiscal parodies on 50's pop culture. But things aren't showing well and if I have the choice between two lesser evils - that of another retconed or badly written 'serious'...

    If you could see a headcanon justifying any Bethesda retcon, what would it be?

    Exactly. Take the 50's aesthetic and take a less serious approach to it - as it seems Bethesda's writers are lacking sense (and it's not just them, there's tons of other RPG's or games to speak of - good RPG's and games included) of what makes something actually serious. Critical if I may say...

    If you could see a headcanon justifying any Bethesda retcon, what would it be?

    It can be invaders from Mars, the invasion of a 50ft tall Pin-Up girl or the radio guy from the Diamon City Radio playing a radio show that goes wrong and the whole Commonwealth panics, believing aliens are invading (there's some Piper material in there Godd Howard). All I want is my literal...

    Everyone, stand back... I just 'had fun' playing FO4.

    If I may give out my opinion - my theory of how Fallout 4 is able to stimulate fun. It's out of personal experience. With how things went in my life, that is, ever worse. I'm feeling less and less motivation for things I loved and the mundane as well. While I loved the Witcher series from...

    Skyrim vs Fallout 4: Who is playing?

    Skyrim, a game I really put a lot of hours into not because of the story or the characters - but for the art department. It looks gorgeous and sounds gorgeous (Jeremy Soule, c'mon). As stated before, mods do fix a lot of things - totally agree about Requiem. Visibly makes a huge change in terms...

    (Bug/Feature) Friend to All.

    As we have learned from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - there don't exist bugs. These are all unplanned gameplay elements. You want to have freedom? Here you have it. The way it's meant to be played. Friend or enemy to all or a single. ... or it's actually an elaboration that you didn't survive the memory...

    If you could see a headcanon justifying any Bethesda retcon, what would it be?

    VR loungers... check. Male stimulant woman lying on a couch... check. Bethesda's wanna-be Pre-War era... check. Main protagonist survivor from the Pre-War & Military Veteran... Check. Fallout 3: Anchorage DLC... check. Guess we already know where it's headed. And Izak, don't count on them...

    Fallout's transformation by Bethesda - how well-known is it?

    Abominations are the result of alien experiments on abducted humans. Yes. Yes indeed they are. You can try to induce it with medication as much as you want (mods) but in the end, you'll only prolong its suffering. Though it pains me to see that I'm legitimately supporting Bethesda in their...

    Why does killing these synths count as murder?

    I'm reminded of Gothic 1 here, especially its New Camp policy - which if you look at it, would make the most sense to be used as a frame when building the law system in the wasteland. It literally had no official, formalist law regime where picking up an mug resulted in the guards flattening...

    Confessions of an Ex-Todd Lover

    D&D is high fantasy by definition: High fantasy is defined as fantasy set in an alternative, fictional ("secondary") world, rather than "the real", or "primary" world. The secondary world is usually internally consistent, but its rules differ from those of the primary world. By contrast, low...

    Fallout: Lone Star (Fallout 4 Mod)

    Hmmm, I believe I've seen this mod before - as stated above, 'developed' for NV. But I also remember there was a lot of controversy going on around it and the true intentions of its developers. Could be that I remember another mod and exchange the two with each other, but still. Skeptical about...

    Has the Fallout series ended for you, Bethesda/Fo3 haters?

    Fallout will never end. As long as I'm alive and I have a mind that can come up with imagination it will for always live. If I was able to Roleplay through Fallout 3 and thought up of DIFFERENT reasons and things why I had to do this and that, then what the quest said... I'll be able to do so...
