I had many, many hours of fun in Skyrim. I don't have that much of a problem with Skyrim being Skyrim (I mean, it could be Morrowind, but...), I have a HUGE problem with Fallout being Skyrim. Fallout is not about radiant quests, minute exploration and zero agency. It's not about becoming head of...

This! And since we're talking about endings, the possible variations New Vegas handled were awesome, old-Fallout levels. Imagine the possible endings if they had half a decade to make it like Bethesda did, imagine that game... Fallout 4 has plenty of flaws, but I didn't REALLY regret buying it...

Yeah, I should have posted an exception to that... I mean, this looks awesome on abandoned asylums, universities and the like, but I mean, the new ones you make yourself come pre-apocalypsified?

1. Power Armor 2. Art Direction Both for reasons already said here. The game itself, its mechanical parts, work quite well, and I think its quite a good game. It's "just" a pretty bad Fallout game and even worse RPG in general. Yay for dreams destroyed :grin: Now to make human sacrifices to...

Amen, brother.

Fallout in general is somewhat lacking in religious nuts of all sorts. I think it would have to be really, really well done for it to work.

Essentially, this. Maybe something a little more than New Vegas, you could have a cell like the Mojave BoS, that you could really help gain a foothold in the region, despite the lack of personnel and resources. I'm think in the scale of what Obisidian intended for the BoS in New Vegas, retake...

Try Project Nevada Rebalanced (I use max 5% of damage bleedthrough) with a mod called Realistic Weapon Damages... You get really hurt really easily, and at the same time makes armor behave they its supposed to (remember those Vault Security armors with bulletproof layers?). And just try to wipe...

@Moosick Funnily enough, the reason you think the ending of Lonesome Road sucks is the same reason I love it. It's a gut wrenching decision, that shows you can't have everything. The one I liked less was Honest Hearts, because it felt rushed without really any Legion option to it, seeing as...

Yes, their presence itself isn't the most absurd thing about them at all. With their numbers toned down, they could have been perfectly viable lore-wise, even if a little far fetched, but thats no strange thing to Fallout. The problem is that they behave themselves (also, the Brotherhood, also...

These are awesome, loved the destructibility and procedural generation in the first, and although I'm not a fan of the aesthetics of the second, the combat mechanics are amazing. Each got their own merits over the Bethesda system, which is far from perfect, I see your point, and I agree; But I...

Wow, this demo looks amazing, the lighting and the switch to first-person view really surprised me... I'd only known Troika for Bloodlines, a very good RPG with a lot of potential, and an awesome setting in the World of Darkness. I'd always thought a real shame they had to close doors, even...

@Gizmojunk: When I said it worked very well, I certainly didn't mean Fallout 3. I don't really know that Vegemite is haha, but I certainly catch your drift, Fallout 3 was crap and we know it. My whole point is that Obsidian did what Bethesda couldn't, create an FPS/VATS which is also a true...

I wholeheartedly agree, but I only choose to believe for the time being that some good can come out of this fourth installment still. That's sheer hope for ya. But I guess we'll see. And yes, even more so the measuring bar after the success of Skyrim. Don't get me wrong, I played a lot of...

I don't think that's the case, really. Personally I think this is the right step for Fallout, I like it better that way, but that doesn't mean I want it for every game. I love Pillars of Eternity, Wasteland 2 was good, loved Neverwinter Nights, and I'm so excited for the new Torment, which I...

I didn't think of it as dialing it back in a quality sort of way, but rather as a chronological reference. That being said, I loved the first Fallouts (especially 2) for what they were, but I loved the FPS/VATS blend since it came out, personally. I don't think, honestly, that perspective or...

@Stone Cold Robert House Well put, sir. I even think New Vegas did a much better job at capturing the sheer destructive power and relative rarity of the Fat Man/Mini Nukes (at least until GRA...) I want Fallout to evolve, I really do. I sincerely don't want to dial it all back and return to...

Please go play New Vegas dear sir. Your post just had unfortunate deleterious effects on my health... But I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. Please play it.

I try to keep that parte alive too, but sometimes it's difficult... And the same voice is telling me now that maybe, juuuuuust maybe I'm being a pessimistic jackass like you and FO4 will be really good :V

Yes, we have awesome mods by awesome modders. But single people, or at best, small teams, cannot solve all of game's problems. Look at Fallout 3, sure, it is vastly improved by mods, but no one can solve a crappy, inconsistent story almost devoid of choice and consequence and memorable...
