Give me robust lore and I will want to play more.

[–] Transcendant@lemmy.world 24 points 5 months ago

Not fucking up the f/c Fallout London mod would've also gotten me to play more (or at least, again). I played & enjoyed FO4 on PS, bought it again for Steam specifically for the new mod.

It'll sit unplayed until the mod is ready!

Characterization, world building and real dilemmas for the player will be the future of Fallout, not photorealistic graphics & live service features

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 26 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Todd Howard misunderstood your request! Fallout will consist of more crafting and loot collecting and shooting, with very minimal world building beyond what's been established.

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

And procedurally generated environments

[–] nanoUFO@sh.itjust.works 14 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I don't think you are a good fit at Bethesda I'm sorry hector we are going to have to let you go. Our culture is mass market appeal, casualization, trend chasing and microtransactions.

[–] hector@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

Sorry :(( what I can do to buy back my soul then?

[–] shani66@ani.social 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Ha, no, not unless Microsoft forces them to hand the IP over to a decent developer.

[–] sheogorath@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Just hand over the reins to Obsidian and it'll be 10x better than what Bethesda can produce.

[–] yuri@pawb.social 2 points 5 months ago

i dunno, outer worlds was very mid imo

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 22 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It's a solid IP it's sadly Bethesda lack the skills it demands to flourish and the mod developers have been floating them for the last 20 years

[–] arefx@lemmy.ml 14 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Right, its hot right now because Amazon made a good show out of it, not because of anything Bethesda did. They almost killed the IP with Fallout 76.

[–] secret300@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I mean yea, props to Amazon for the good show but the story and lore of fallout has always been there. The games were just bad without mods. Honestly if Bethesda just sold books they'd probably be best sellers

[–] arefx@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Bethesda didn't create fallout though, they didn't put their hands in the series until the third game.

[–] secret300@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 5 months ago

Oh damn I didn't know that

[–] overload@sopuli.xyz 13 points 5 months ago

Fallout seems to be getting the Edgerunners treatment at the moment. Shame about the fallout London fiasco, that would have convinced me to spin it up again.

[–] Moreless@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

Just like every new metal band's album is their 'heaviest'

[–] gila@lemm.ee 8 points 5 months ago

That's not what renaissance means. A renaissance is lots of examples of something happening during a short period. There hasn't been a fallout game for many years.

[–] doingthestuff@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

I never really stopped playing it.

[–] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Amazing how Fallout has gotten so much attention from his so suddenly…

I wonder what changed?

[–] nanoUFO@sh.itjust.works 10 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Perception and attention, the newer games still pale in comparison to fallout nv and in general the trend of bethesda games becoming more soulless and less well written rpg's. But the tv shows made gamers that didn't play them play them especially 76 and fallout 4.

[–] Makhno@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Fallout 4 is the highest selling Fallout game by a mile

[–] Titou@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The most known to the public, but not the best. Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 3 are objectively better.

[–] timespace@sh.itjust.works 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I’m not sure you know what objectively means.

[–] Titou@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

I know what it mean
