That, and the Legion absolutely respects people who Get Shit Done. Lucius is old and graying and prime fodder for a challenge to his command of Caesar's Praetorians by someone younger and more physically fit yet nobody is willing to fight him for it out of respect for the man.
Gay shit like this is why I always sell you off to slavery in all my campaigns, bro.
The main problem is that the Enclave are kind of done as an antagonist. They lost the West Coast and the East Coast. They may have a base in Chicago or even in outer space but what could they serve in terms of the story?
Nah, New Vegas just straight isn't canon to the show. The show runner only played Fallout 3 and Bethesda does not like NV existing.
I’ve always wondered if they did a NV release would they do two copies of the game. We have the drives to render this game now so you could have one disk be the original game and one be the Avalon cut.
Another thing I appreciate about the lot of the game is that it doesn’t give you full detail. They might as well of found a book on the late stage Roman Empire for all we know. He could base his entire personality off the worst years of Rome.
The problem with Bethesda is they also do the GTA “we need ONE big game every century” approach when it comes to their games. I think Bethesda would benefit greatly if they allowed other companies to make smaller games with the engine to pass people over. I’d love to see a side release game where you play as an enclave soldier and we’re an asshole. Unfortunately if Bethesda made it you would be “the one medic who was super pro enclave but now is having second thoughts”. Let’s say even if that would never happen a Olympus 2207 side game that was funded by Bethesda and 3D would be amazing.
That was the plan with letting Obsidian do New Vegas, but Todd's ego got bruised so bad from that they rejected every other attempt Obsidian or other devs made to try and do similar projects with them. We could have had an Elder Scrolls and a new Fallout spinoff by now if they weren't such faggots.
I remember Avalon made a response to this and “Supposedly” “Bethesda and obsidian have no bad blood and Todd loved the game” which is kind of funny because the only instances of NV being mentioned in a Bethesda made game being the Atom shop to get some NV fan sheckels.
). But that opinion may deserve a few rainbows.
Everything from the Bethesda side clearly indicates they are dismissive of NV at best, outright dislike it at most. During the lead up to Fallout 4 Todd would say shit like "This is the first time we have ever had iron sights in Fallout" and Fallout 4 itself mentions NCR once, then never again. The Mojave Desert is mentioned but specifically not called The Mojave or The Mojave Wasteland.I remember Avalon made a response to this and “Supposedly” “Bethesda and obsidian have no bad blood and Todd loved the game” which is kind of funny because the only instances of NV being mentioned in a Bethesda made game being the Atom shop to get some NV fan sheckels.
I’m hoping with the merge of Microsoft they will hopefully pump out more obsidian made games, especially since fallout in space didn’t really live up to the hype (who knew
I used to have a couple posts saved but can't seem to find them now. I will hunt for them, but admittedly I might just be schizo pulling shit out of my ass, and if I'm not then the leakers certainly could have been.
RPG Codex has had multiple people who worked on New Vegas comment on how Bethesda would repeatedly lie to them or sabotage them. The biggest one being that Bethesda told Obsidian not to budget QA for New Vegas because it would be handled by Bethesda. But then they pulled the QA from them and said "do it yourself" which resulted in massive bugs and problems. And then lead to the lower Metacritic score and Obsidian losing their bonus pay. I think it was Sawyer who compared Bethesda to Darth Vader's infamous "I'm changing the terms of the deal" speech he gives in one of the Star Wars movies.
It could have something to do with the fact that New Vegas was in an absolute dogshit state at launch.
I'm confused here. America was a purely positive force in the Fallout series. I mean, we literally see our brave boys bring about the Day of the Rake; it was aspirational.
It's because New Vegas is effectively being erased from canon with the new show. If it was set somewhere on the East Coast and had the Faggots of Steel as the protagonists in usual Bethesda fashion I don't think anyone would care. What we have now is a game set in the areas of F1/2, erasing the NCR from existence, turning Shady Sands into a pre-war settlement, and effectively taking a big old retcon fueled dump all over the games fans actually cared about.
Sure looks like it. They're even promoting it with that strange "we didn't make it for fans of Fallout, we made it for people who don't like Fallout!" Thing that the ROP showrunners did.
The vast majority of Fallout fans don't give a shit about Fallout before Fallout 3, sadly enough.
Starfield was worked on for longer than New Vegas, with more resources, excuses and manpower.
