Good for the devs, though. A solid "what not to do" rulebook for game design, level design, writing, treating fans, and quality of game on release.

So here's the impression I get from everyone. Far Harbor is just more Fallout 4. If you geniunely enjoyed Fallout 4 and wanted more content, feel free. For anyone else hoping Far Harbor might've taken the chance to be more like New Vegas or become more of an RPG, that's not the case. If you...

I've already mentioned this twice in other threads, but I may as well mention it again because it's really good. Stellaris! It's a cross between the 4X space strategy genre, and the signature Paradox Grand Strategy games (Hearts of Iron, Crusader Kings, Europa Universalis, etc.). The diplomacy...

In trilogies (movies anyways), first ones tend to make the biggest impression though with many mistakes, second ones tend to be the best, third ones have signs of dreariness and being overdone, and then when they add an extra, fourth ones end up either one last revisit to what made the trilogy...

Well, I don't think the original Fallout was ever that great. So I suppose I can't garner much care about whether or not a Fallout game was faithful to the first one. Do people really think the first installment in the series is the one to define that series? It's certainly the one to start it...

No, I don't think they would lose any customers by delving deeper into complex themes either, I just think that the people in charge at Bethesda Softworks/Zenimax assume they will, because that's the only reason I can think of for a profit-minded publisher to fear taking risks. I'm sure it would...

This reminds me of how all Ubisoft series are basically the exact same game under the guise of a different setting and genre. Which Ubisoft games are set in interesting locations but have boring main characters and a predictable plot? Which Ubisoft games are open-world, requiring you to...

Yeah, I get that aliens took you out of the immersion when there was an attempt to present them seriously as opposed to a one-off joke. It turned what was a well-crafted world and really good backstory into what was essentially a parody of 50's sci-fi. From actual high-quality writing to...

I was interested in giving it a go, but outright needing Bethesda.net to turn mods on changed my mind. So now, with modding out of beta, you still cannot use third-party mod managers to enable mods, you must login to Bethesda.net. That's insane, and there was sort of a muted outrage over it but...

Sorry, I was also referring to the people who actually have said the words "all". I just hate it when fans of complex games condescend on those who enjoy games with less depth. Just because those fans are a minority and are constantly ignored does not give them the right to look down on the...

I don't really think so. All those things matter when it comes to sales. Fallout 5 is not going to allow complex themes for fear of offending gamers. It's not going to allow inconvenience for fear of turning gamers off. The only time Betheda Softworks would ever allow inclusion of these things...

From Far Harbor? Robot sex? Oh, Bethesda. :confused::???::roll: Can't figure out why New Vegas was good and are just throwing in everything it had in an effort to capture the same spirit. Keep on trying you madmen, though I can't guarantee any of you will ever figure it out.

My point is that Fallout 4 was probably the best ending that a numbered Fallout probably could've got, because honestly, Bethesda isn't going to allow anything more risky or deep than what we got. It was more of a lamentation for how restrictive modern games are with their writing, and for a...

Well, yes they are. I'm not denying that, I'm just pointing a common pattern out. Nevermind the fact that Fallout isn't even traditionally an action game. But since it is and we can't do anything about it, there's even less point in holding it up to the same standards as an RPG. There are much...

That's why he's getting points for honesty from the American public.

There comes the "that's not what Fallout should be" argument. Don't get me wrong - I do agree with that argument - but I'm trying to ask you, under requirements like those ones, could you come up with a better ending for Fallout 4? For something so thoroughly stomped by publishers forcing the...

I'm just ranting about how inane some of the complaints about Fallout 2 are. I get criticising it for the interface and bugs, but the easter eggs? The obsession with consistency in RPGs for some people is way too far. It's like they push for constant consistency so they would have a believable...

I was talking to the people who thought Fallout 4's ending was absolute crap. I thought it was well-salvaged even if poorly written, and I haven't played Far Harbor yet, but the fact that who you chose ties into Far Harbor proves my point, so thanks for proving my point. But fine. Let me...

Since when were fans solely defined by the first installment in the series? And if they aren't, then the ones who loved Fallout 2 without question are already hardcore fans, right? It would technically be controversial among hardcore fans of the first Fallout. The Fallout 2 easter eggs being...

Alright, I'm going to give you a challenge. Come up with endings for Fallout 4 that was better than the actual ones. It has to meet the requirements of: Must not offend anyone. At all. Ever. No matter what. Just in case, that means no themes explored that could possibly leave any player...
