Thankfully humans only made up 100% of NPCs in the Fallout franchise up until now, so there is plenty of space for Bethesda to build a great dynamic narrative.

I mean replacing all the NPCs with actual robots would make the animations more believable.

It sounds like there is a story element they aren't revealing yet involving this new breed of ghouls. Or maybe you are all right and bethesda literally threw out the foundation of every single one of their games

Did people get this upset when Fallout Shelter was released expecting a deep questing system and fully realized 50 x 50 mile map?

No because that was a free to play cellphone game and it was marketed as such, everyone knew it would be nothing more than a fun distraction for a brief while. This is a full videogame that people are being expected to presumably pay full price for alongside potential micro transactions (yes, just for cosmetics for now, but we'll see)

Also nobody who thinks the game looks like poo poo is upset, these people are probably just going to ignore the game. That seems to piss you off quite a bit however

Ghouls super mutants and robots are NPCs in every fallout game and are often the most memorable.

But this game has Fallout in the name so clearly it's decieving me into thinking it's a full Fallout 4 sequel.

People are complaining that this game won't have writing and quests like a mainline Fallout game but I don't see how you could have thought that it would. It was pretty clear that this game is just a Rust/Conan open world survival. If you don't like that game fine, but complaining that it isn't like the other games that are entirely different doesn't make sense.

I'm not all that hype about Fallout 76 because I don't generally care for open world survival games, but I'm not disappointed it won't be single player because why would it be?

Instead smart poster 50s raygun is happy about all the stupid poo poo bethesda is jettisoning from their game, such as storytelling, which he always thought was too inefficient, a waste of time.

They did say in that Fallout 76 making of that most of the main Bethesda studio has been working on Starfield since they finished the last Fallout 4 DLC.

Fallout 76 is mainly done by that multiplayer focussed studio they bought.

So everyone stop crying about how Bethesda have abandoned single player RPGs.

No, because I don't want to play a game with ingame monetization, that's part of why I have hitherto bought bethesda games.

And also why I think bethesdas monetization efforts are poo poo, because they're poo poo in all games.

my dude the only fallout you seem to have any knowledge of is whatever variety has aggressively turned your brain into sewage.

fallout has been like, an isometric 2d game, a turn based game, a third person shooter. it's bizarre to act like you get to be the loving arbitrator of what 'fallout' is because you shot a dude in a 2d game twenty years ago.

Do you have any proof Fallout ever was an RPG? That would be very inconvenient to my ideology of never saying a bad thing about a mass entertainment product.

This is even funnier given that these people you're projecting your nonsensical internet-flailing on to probably think that the best Fallout game is the second (edit: third, if you count Fallout Shelter, which only an idiot would) most recent one, aka a Fallout game published by Bethesda
