If you dislike the video game product that I like, that means you dislike me, and if you like the video game product it is impossible to appreciate or enjoy its vague competitor, because that is a betrayal most foul.

Not sure why Bethesda doesn't just offer to let Obsidian collaborate with them. Obsidian is perfectly willing to do so with inXile and seem eager to work on Fallout again. Why not give them the chance?

maybe they think their own product is perfectly serviceable in any imaginable way.

It's always been confusing to me, having grown up with only stuff like Mad Max and the modern Lost in Space, I never really identified any motif from Fallout 1 and 2 as the 50's, but as stuff from both the 80's and 90's. And then FO3 came out and said it was maintaining that feel and I'm very "okay, is that what it was? I thought it was all Mad Max".

you skipped the opening or something because that was 50s as gently caress and set the tone for the rest of the game in many ways imo

but yes it was of course a mix of different ages/styles

Might as well put this in here, Chris Avellone has left Obsidian to pursue new projects http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-06-09-chris-avellone-leaves-obsidian-entertainment

I wonder how this will affect Obsidian in the future if they ever do work on a new Fallout game.

One thing I'm curious about, having watched the presentation just now - why go to all the trouble of naming the baby, if your family supposedly gets incinerated, or dies via some other means? Seems like an awful lot of attention to detail for a short opening sequence.

I wasn't aware all gay people were tumblrinas now. Why didn't I get a loving memo?

if you srsly care that a fictional character in a video game has a predefined sexual orientation which may differ from your own, yeah you're pretty much one of those

oh no i am gay i cant play as a (maybe) straight nameless pseudo-50s guy eeewww

next step is whining on twitter for bethesda to implement gender sliders because your panromantic demisexual multiple system-kin is not on the list

This. I was super excited about F3 and Skyrim. They looked so fun in the trailers, yet both of them were shallow and buggy with terrible combat and braindead writing. I'm sure F4 will be slightly better than either of them, but the writing will probably be as bad as usual, and I don't really enjoy games like Minecraft so the new gimmick of crafting everything yourself and building houses doesn't sound all that exciting.

There is, as i'm sure you're well aware, a difference between "i would like to be able to play as a gay character for once" and "why is my character not a transethnic otherkin demisexual aromantic?"

its a game about hiking and shooting molerats, nobody cares about your gender adventures, be they hetero to homo or vice versa, hth

it's just indicative of how rail roaded you are into Bethesda characterization, you could be gay in the previous games, you could be a cannibal, or whatever, it was just a couple lines. but here you start married, with a child and a bunch of other poo poo you have no control other. in New Vegas you were just a dude that got shot in the head, end of story, now play the game.

Now you're going to have to go through the motion of pretend parenthood every time you start a new game, isn't that awesome.

"oh no i was railroaded into being a released prisoner in morrowind, boo loving hoo"

bethesda games always had a specific beginning, then again there always were alternate start mods, so don't worry, if nobody makes you a gay cannibal starter pack, you'll be able to cook one perfectly matching your fetishes in the construction kit

if Bethesda feels the need to time travel a prewar person into the glowing future, cryogenicly or otherwise, it seems like even more of a missed opportunity that they mandate that you be some kind of standard member of that society when you could instead be a genuine misfit weirdo if you so chose

im sorry bethesda is not designing this installment of their perennial hiking simulator for tumblrinas

not yet, at least
