"Our position here at NMA", coming from a 2016 user. Yawn. It's funny how you instantly jump to othering me based on an opinion that dissents from what's accepted by the recent batch of users on NMA. Bethesda won't listen to you because you don't offer a coherent argument and you made the...

"Dissenting opinions". What next, you're going to go Gandhi and start a hunger strike over a game series? The problem is that it's not a well-constructed essay, but a retread of points that have been repeated on these forums for ten years. They do not matter. You would have a point if NMA was...

Yes, because it's kind of difficult to have a conversation where you consistently refuse to acknowledge a single point I make, instead preferring to go off on a tangent about the Fiends being better written, when they're literally just throwaway raiders jumped up on chems. The problem here is...

Everyone thinks their ideas have merit. It's confirmation bias. The actual hard data for Fallout 4 suggests that the vast majority of people enjoy the changes and enjoy Fallout 4, but since some changes were not well received, Bethesda is likely to iterate based on the feedback. But in...

1. Looking at the sales figures of Fallout 4, this isn't a problem for Bethesda and Fallout is nowhere near being as grossly mishandled as C&C. 2. Sorry to burst your bubble, but nobody's going to make an AO AAA game, ever. 3. You are confusing the marginal opinions of NMA and like-minded with...

These perks are a general waste of time, though not because of the Guidebook (it's post-endgame, so it's a non-factor). All the skill bonuses are useless due to the skill books, the sheer volume of skill points you gain, and the general absence of high level skill checks. Off the top of my head...

Two decades of playing Fallout, starting when you were still learning to speak. Knowing the game's lore like the back of my hand. Countless discussions exploring the concepts presented in the game, which also provided me with an in-depth knowledge of the story structure and systems. I can ask...

Glad we're on the same page. See, here's where I differ: I apply the same standards to Fo4 factions and they provide enough for me to answer any question I might have. The problem here is that you seem to ignore the different situations between the Mojave and the Commonwealth. One's a frontier...

Yes, because arguing with what Fallout actually is, rather than someone's impression of what Fallout's supposed to be is... Somehow bad? Comparing an existing game to previous entries in the series is somehow bad? Or is it perfectly acceptable, as long as you are bashing Fallout 4? Point is...

It's not that I changed my mind (Fallout 3 is still a bad, bad Fallout game), but Fallout 4 showed to me that Bethesda does get Fallout (and after twenty years of playing the game, including countless playthroughs of Fo1/2, that was something my brain refused to admit at first, out of sheer...

Mind you, I assume it's for demolition. Might also be for driving spikes, nails, rods, and so on with the right regulation. OSHA is a Communist invention getting in the way of American FREEDOM AND CAPITALISM. A true AMERICAN WORKER needs no OSHA to tell him how to work! If he wants exposed...

Call of Pripyat recycles almost the entirety of SHOC and CS, plus the graphics really show their age. Compare the foliage, the shadowing, the general sharpness of the image versus what I feel is the more natural, soft look of Fallout 4. I've stared at STALKER graphics for years on end...

Well, different standards... I kind of wish someone automatically appended "to me" to these statements. Anywhoo, the strangest argument I had was when I claimed that the Enclave's citizens weren't aware of the planned genocide, because I misinterpreted the verb "cover" in Richardson's State of...

I agree with you in general, but we're talking about a nation engaged in total war. Explosives used in construction are explosives not going to the war effort. Psh, who cares about worker's health? Are you some sort of Chinese communist pinko unAmerican infiltrator saboteur...
