The grand irony is that it's statements like this that make YOU sound like a teenager.
Megadeth has long been recognized as one of the best progressive thrash metal bands of all time, until much later in their career.
I disagree 100%.
The FEV is an elemental part of Fallout's universe from the ground floor up.
The transformation from human to Super Mutant just from exposure to ninja turtle goo is a million times more believable than raising a creature's INT rating a few points up on the SPECIAL scale...
I thought the whole point of the dialogue between you and lynette, and the power plant engineers/Harold were to make you understand that both sides were wrong? The ghouls disregarding other life and the humans being unreasonably xenophobic?
The ghouls were disregarding that their leaking plant...
They did have an explanation, it just wasn't satisfying or funny.
That whole scenario gave off a vibe of some amateur writer trying to ape the writing style of the original Fallout games, in an effort to be "wacky" and "off the wall" and to throwback to the satirized 40's-60's world of...
The group of talking deathclaws you're referencing were exposed to the FEV in an attempt to make them controllable Bio weapons for the enclave.
How is that "kind of dodgy"? You readily accept the existence of Super Mutants being a normal human + FEV = the Hulk, but you have trouble believing...
Like yourself, and every other discerning gamer I echo this sentiment.
The only issue is that I also want a long list of romance-able npcs, and for at the very least half of them to be genderqueen, aromatic sex-fluidal , in addition to my own character's asexuality.
Or the fact that it would be beyond sick if Fallout had a jizztrillion dollar, Triple A budget behind it for graphics, writing, story, quests, history research, voice acting, sound production. Should I keep going?
This sentence here perfectly describes the issue I have with posters like yourself.
The issue we have with 3 isn't the fact it is a FPS, the issue we generally have is that the writing is really shitty and the storyline is juvenile.
The fact it's not a turn based RPG is directly at the bottom...
Unless the Tunnel Snakes are the major enemy in this game and I can join the brotherhood to get some sweet T1000b power armor, I'm boycotting Fallout Fourth.
Understood.
The realization I've come to as I've gotten older and been through the Fallout 1/2 to Fallout 3 transition in many different parts of my life, is that it's just a generational gap issue. While I was playing Fallout 1 when I was around 16 - the same younger kids are playing Fallout...
There really wasn't anything "Macho" about the fruitcake characters in 3 lol.
Edit - Also people, I would like to politely request you refrain from quoting that shit-stain in your replies. I would like to enjoy the rest of this discussion without having to read ignored posts.
Do you know the definition of the term "Cognitive Dissonance"?
Because the mental gymnastics you're performing to justify Fallout 4's reveal are absolutely stunning.
Also, No mutants allowed has most likely been around longer than you and the "Fallout community" doesn't owe you anything.
Anyways, I don't have any faith in Bethesda's story writing or character development, nor their ability to recapture the dry wit of the originals.
Nor their ability to even remain tonally consistent between sequels. Neon steampunk bullshit?
Best part - these graphics look like total shit. If...
