    Yatzee on Fallout 4

    I didn't like New Vegas as much as Fallout 3. I mostly say that because i felt New Vegas' good bits were spread to thin and FO3 had a good formula ripped from Oblivion (Badly in my opinion). New Vegas just felt like an expansion to 3, but a good one, and for me that's saying a lot.

    "Isometric turn-based games cannot have good graphics"

    I'm not a fan of isometric view for RPGs, granted I do like Dragon Age. Its not my style and I wouldn't find a Fallout game as engaging if it were in an isometric view. I want immersion and first person does that for me. I know I'm in the wrong place to have this opinion, but here it is, deal...

    Fallout 4 storytelling in a nutshell.

    Don't you know that the first thing that gives way to a nuclear apocalypse is entropy?

    Fallout 4 storytelling in a nutshell.

    I'm betting the people on Sugarbombed would say something as ridiculous as that. They said pretty much the same when i pointed out cans don't last longer than 50 years, even under the best canning processes and storage methods.

    I'd expect an American backed puppet state across all of Mexico. Americans are prejudiced towards Mexicans. I'd imagine that be worse in the Fallout world because of the conservative overtones of the Pre War world. I wouldn't rule out military advisers or a few military bases, but a full scale...

    The F4 BOS retcon and the Capital Wasteland

    My dream Fallout game has a Bethesda made map and a story written by literally anyone. Preferably Obsidian. The rushed feel on New Vegas and the setting is why if found New Vegas less engaging than 3. But the writing in NV was by far better.

    I like bethesda's view on the BoS.

    The Capitol BoS aren't conquerors, they're explorers maybe. If they were conquerors, DC would be safe and rebuilding, not a shit hole worse off than Boston. I'd expected the Capitol BoS to either go Midwestern and build a nation or set up a puppet state with Rivet City. Megaton and Tenpenny...

    Will we ever get to join the Enclave? Or otherwise explore their organization?

    They could base a game around an isolated outpost and set the in between Fallout 2 and 3, but that's it. It'd show the evolution of the Enclave into something else. Or just getting killed by someone, cause that's all the Enclave is now, code for evil.

    Wouldn't surprise me if Mexico wasn't annexed but put under some sort of US backed puppet state. Americans have never really liked Mexicans and in the conservative wet dream of America, we wouldn't annex them for anything, just rule over them. Hell, the reason why the US didn't take all of...

    The F4 BOS retcon and the Capital Wasteland

    They can just make prequels, or just create different series within the same universe. With how many locales and disconnected stories there are in Fallout, its better to refer to it as a universe and make games set at different points with different stories than to call it a coherent series. At...

    To each there own. My family is Mexican and California, so Mexico seems less foreign to me.

    New here, and may I just ask a stupid question for once?

    I also said Oblivion was a good game, not great or amazing, just good. Its more than mediocre, but definitely not crap. Could Bethesda have learned from what was lacking in Oblivion and carried it into Fallout 3? Yes! But, Bethesda went the mass marketing mediocrity route instead of mass...

    New here, and may I just ask a stupid question for once?

    When it comes to combat, there are only so many ways to skin a cat. Why I think Oblivion is a good game is the number of quests and the variety of them. Skyrim and Fallout 4 have a lot of radiant quests, but few written quests. Also, my motivation for going some place for some thing is more...

    I'd also like to see games set in other parts of North America. I'd like to see Canadians and Quebecois fighting against the descendants of American occupying forces. Toronto was mentioned in The Pitt, that leaves it wide open. I'd like to see what happened in Canada and whats going on there now.

    The difference between Saints Row and Fallout is that Saints Row has been made by the same people since the beginning. Fallout has changed hands after a gap of 7 years (Ignoring BoS for this, it really departed from the "normal" games). Games evolved and the capabilities of consoles and...

    Will we ever get to join the Enclave? Or otherwise explore their organization?

    One way the Enclave could re-appear and continue on would be through a bunker somewhere else in the county building a city state and then going on to do something. For example, building a city state in Wisconsin or Minnesota and encountering the Midwestern BoS. Although that'd just make the...

    I like bethesda's view on the BoS.

    I wouldn't really classify the BoS as the "good Enclave". The BoS won't pacify the area and create a nation state. The Capitol Wasteland is still a shit hole and they should be able to secure most of the Northeast with the warehouses of Enclave gear they got at the end of Broken Steel...

    Bethesda knows how to market, they could make any garbage and sell millions on day 1. They could also make a good RPG if they wanted to. Hell, even Skyrim is a better game than 4, Oblivion is a good game compared to Fallout 4. They can make decent RPGs, but choose to make crap that can be mass...

    Not only could we explore the beginning of the Fallout Universe and how some of the factions we know rose, we could also see the development of other factions in between games or just develop some factions. Like the Legion or Midwestern BoS. I want to see the Midwestern BoS in a new game! For...

    I'd love to see how the Legion rose. What it took to build them.
