I read all of your post, I just quoted the relevant parts to make my own post easier to read. It's fine for you to say what you appreciated about the game, and fine for me to disagree. The things that you appreciate about Fallout 4 detract from the game for me because I think they fit the game...

It's a fortress in roughly the same way a mall is a fortress - easily breachable through virtually any wall, since none of them are designed to withstand anything more traumatic than the downward pull of gravity or the occasional flyball, and surrounded on all sides by dense expanses of urban...

Oh? Why?

I think using the Fallout setting as a vehicle for urban warfare is as ill-fitting as using it as a vehicle for alien themed plot arcs and Blade Runner homages. I don't feel as though Fallout 4's use of super mutants and ghouls as stand-ins for generic orcs and zombies is a particularly...

If you set him up as a tier 53 junk vendor, he sells you unique bot parts, like lightning gun hands. Fucking ace.

That does look pretty nice. I don't care overmuch about the project not being headed by Avellone or Sawyer. Much as I like what those guys do, the company has plenty of other design talent in it.

Morrowind didn't have visible sheathed weapons, no.

The original was excellent too. It's a shame it has such an impenetrable UI, because it was a genre-defining game and more people should play it. You'd be surprised how many things SS2 took from SS which later went on to become staples of survival horror.

Why can they not fuel vertibirds using the setting's crazy miniaturised room-temperature fission technology? I keep bringing this up, but I don't actually know why anyone needs oil at all in Fallout.

God dammit, every time I click on a thread lately you guys are all sweating and undulating disturbingly in it.

You can totally mod Fallout 2. It's actually a lot less opaque a system than you would think. This was the key argument on the Nexus at the time of the first paid mod debacle if I recall, and it's absolutely a fair question. I don't have a high opinion of career YouTubers myself - I consider...

Have you ever spent hours trying to deconstruct something nonsensical bit by bit, only to reach a point where your mind suddenly snaps and thinks, "why the fuck am I putting so much thought and effort into explaining something that was never meant to make sense in the first place"? It's a weird...

Oh man, really? I loved System Shock, but I haven't been able to play it in ages because I find it so difficult to get past the clunky-ass Ultima Underworld style controls. I'm looking forward to this. At least SS2 was made with the Thief engine and is still quite playable by modern standards...

Description of the game from the OP interests me, but there's very little actual information about it and only the barest blink-and-you'll-miss-it glimpse of gameplay in the trailer. Worth watching. Though I'm another person who's long gotten tired of high fantasy.

Watching this trailer makes me feel tired, as though it's sucking the enthusiasm to play the game directly out of my body. This is weapons-grade mediocrity.

This is about the most stupid looking shit I could've imagined them releasing as a DLC. There's some joke here about a fresh turd selling for more than aged liquor, but I can't be fucked working out the details. Mods will fix it, anyway.

Yes, of course. The question never applies to people who are in an overall position of authority and who are responsible for enforcing bad decisions on their subordinates. Those people can always be criticised. But a lot of the people who were just doing their job in Fallout 4 did do a shitty...

Don't want to derail too much, but you're missing out on a lot of life if you're too worried about ever being wrong or changing your mind to take a stance on anything. Being wrong or changing your mind isn't the end of the world as long as you're aware of and can admit to whatever it is you're...

I work for various NFPs and make a lot less money than I otherwise could for the sake of doing something I feel is worthwhile. I have nothing to prove. Don't assume too much about perfect strangers, you rarely come out of it looking clever.

They aren't one of the worst companies in existence, that would infer that there's something uniquely bad about them which isn't the case. There's nothing whatsoever that sets them apart from any other two-bit company that's content to purvey lazy schlock if it keeps them afloat. They're...
