  1. Bethesda please read me, every october/winter I install the Fallout series and play it. I started doing this two years ago, and Fallout New Vegas was my first game to try. of the Fallout series.
    Despite me never trying this game as a kid it is now and still my favorite game I've ever played, despite the graphics I did add a couple of mods to make it a bit better.
    But the game is so unique and special.

    A remaster of New Vegas would sell really well, especially now that there are way more gamers then back then. And I would forever love you guys, please consider it!

  2. I'm just gonna flat out say this, fallout 4 and fallout 76 was a mistake.

    I understand you guys wanted to, "try something new", but you should had just continued the fallout series with the same assets as Fallout 3 and new vegas and simply built on it with a new map layout.

    …not start from scratch.

    lord knows people would've purchased that more than fallout 4.

  3. I love listening to Emil's reasoning for driving story and narrative. I think I watched him talk about using the inspiration of Whitey Bulger as a Boston boogeyman figure and applying that kind of dread and mystique of this underworld criminal to The Insitute. I really loved the story of Fallout 4, despite some of the roleplaying features lacking. I think Falllout 4 is the GTA IV of GTA's. Narrative storytelling is strong but the gameplay/rpg elements are curbed to facilitate storytelling. Having said that, both worlds are rich in exploring and living in.

    Starfield has brilliantly took criticism of Fallout 4 and really seems to go in the direction of player freedom again. Really exciting what Fallout 5 could be.

    I kind of missed New Vegas. I played and loved the small bit I played and I know it has the potential of being my favourite but I was hoping for a remaster. It's harder to play after playing 4. It's not that I cant play older games. I play San Andreas. But I played SA at the time. So there's a difference.

  4. Going through the metro tunnels with big band music playing on my pipboy and the grunts of the ferals was the creepiest shit ever the first time I played Fallout 3. I dont know what it is about that music that intensifies the creepiness but it damn sure did for me.

  5. I had a dream a few nights ago that I was hired by Bethesda as a "creative", I saw Todd Howard walk by outside my cubicle. I love dreaming, the ultimate game/simulation.

  6. Hearing them talk about destroying these real-world locations really makes me wish they paid a little more attention to how much these societies would've advanced in 200 years. Clean drinking water, sure, but what was everyone drinking for the past 200 years? The nuclear bombs destroyed everything, sure, but plants were already growing back in Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Chernobyl after 1 year.
