It just shows that Bethesda is absolutely dogshit in making good games.
They make game engines and rely on the community for the rest.
They made 1 (one) game engine, and keep propping it up every release.
me giggling when i realized V.A.T.S. had been reused for ship combat in Starfield.
I want a FO or TES game that's just a modder playground.
Obviously there's a lot of glaring problems with this, but in my head, it'd be awesome.
Sounds like you just invented Roblox.
Or Metaverse
Second Life 😤
Definitely sounds like an interesting concept. I can also imagine some people seeing it as developers not actually making a game, instead getting their community to do the work.
I think maybe letting people design a building or block at a time, then doing voting and integrating the winner into the game could be a neat way to go about it
That's basically Starfield, and what it's trying to do.
As someone who played The Frontier and even finished the NCR questline for it, I've been playing London a lot. I do want to say that those looking for full New Vegas level roleplaying are going to be disappointed. There are SPECIAL checks, and traits do make a return, but by and large this is closer to Fallout 3 than it is to New Vegas. Checks aren't that frequent, this is more of a return to Fallout 3's "horror RPG" style where roaming and exploring makes up the backbone of gameplay with quests meant to take you to new areas and dungeons, largely.
That being said, it's a great game. There are problems with some of the writing, the Strike Quest where the outcome no matter what seems to be a resolution of two individuals and not the much larger number of striking workers is a horrible depiction of labor rights movements. However, the level design is generally really cool and atmospheric, and a lot of the concepts are extremely fresh.
More than anything, it makes me super excited to see the release of Fallout 4: New Vegas, Fallout: Cascadia, and Fallout: Miami. It's a surprisingly great execution on a non-US Fallout, and feels fresh, but doesn't reach the height of New Vegas.
That last detail is why I am so thrilled for Fallout 4: New Vegas. NV modding is incredible, don't get me wrong, but the visual upgrade going from New Vegas fully graphically modded to Fallout 4 Vanilla is stark. Imagining playing through New Vegas but with nicer gunplay and graphical fidelity has me incredibly hopeful.
thanks for the detailed insight
