Wait what?

So Bethesda is releasing a update to improve the code base.

And the volunteer modders of Fallout London are blaming Bethesda because Bethesda didn't check in with them?

[–] SquirtleHermit@lemmy.world 31 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Well no, not really. They are just stating the fact that the update will almost certainly break their mod (and many others tbh) and just want time to fix it so even unexpierenced modders can enjoy it. They also say they are excited for Bethesda's update since they love FO4.

“Before you grab the pitchforks to go after Bethesda or tell us that we’re idiots and you know how to stop the update – remember, that’s you know how to do it, not the collective. This is a collective project; we want everyone to have the past four years of work to come out and be the best mod possible for all of our followers."

“The fact that Bethesda is keeping what is an old game updated is honestly a great thing – many members of the team are very excited to see this,” he notes. “On the technical front, being able to play Fallout London with the new potential engine improvements and the performance upgrades is fantastic. It’s going to mean that we can push the engine even harder than we’ve already pushed it. This is all going to be a boon.”

The Bethesda never changes bit was a joke that in context seems like he means it in a positive way.

"Bethesda. Bethesda never changes,” he concludes with a smile.

Yeah, the "Bethesda. Bethesday never changes" seems to me to just be a reference to the iconic and memed start of FO4. "War. War never changes". Just a little inside joke for the FO4 community

All the Fallout games start that way. Not just 4.

Fallout 4 is the only one that doesn't have Ron Pearlman saying it.

It can also refer to the fact they have continued to use the same ancient and busted-ass engine all the way from 2002 to 2024.
