Same here. I wonder if this will have any effect on sales of future Bethesda games or if fans are just going to eat up everything they pump out.

At the very least, Bethseda has (hopefully) learned doing an online game completely in house is a shitshow they'd better not revisit.

Drown me in :optimistic: ratings.

It kills me that their parent company has experienced people to help them with this, but Todd thought he was good enough on his own. The ego of this small man.
 
The mod A Tale of Two Wastelands 3.2 is out with a total overhaul (the mode allows to use the same character to play both FOE and FONV maps)

It’s like I’m watching the 1.0 launch of Final Fantasy 14 all over again. This is almost an exact replica of what went down with that game.

As the saying goes those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.

The thing is, FFXIV 1.0 was boring and even more tedious than ARR. FO76 is all that along with broken. Plus, lets not forget we are talking about Bethesda, there are better chances at getting a good Star Wars movie than Bethesda fixing anything.

I started Fallout 2 the other day after finally beating the first game, and I'm finding 2 much harder to enjoy. I made my build pretty closely to my build in the first game, that being a gunslinger with high speech. 2's beginning is hell on gun users, even beyond the starting temple. When you finally get a gun, it's a crappy little rifle that only fires one bullet before needing to reload.

The game on the whole feels more like a chore. Money is extremely scarce and so is ammo, so I'm running low on bullets for my crappy rifle and I can't find anything to replace it. I know there's a pistol in the rat cave, but I feel ill-equipped to deal with the rats right now (and more specifically the Rat God).

Am I doing something wrong? I feel like I'm missing something, and I don't know what.
 
I am going to be 100 honest here and say that I haven't personally played 4 or 76 I stopped playing games a long time ago and not much will change that (OK the new Doom maybe) but I tried Fallout 3 and didn't like it and loved New Vegas (and played 1 and 2 relegiously prety much since launch, including the mods). But everything I leveled at FO3 is valid for Fallout 76 (and to some point 4) the story is weak the game can be done in a few hours to compleation and the lore isn't just contidictory it's downright ugly retcon.

I mean they tried to explain the BOS in 76 but considering even in FO1 they said that apart from a few NG units post war he was ignored, and FO cannon states the NCR turned them into little more than techno raiders before NV and the only thing stopping them from killing each little bunker was the numbers game (an that was something they where working on), it makes no sense, nether does the super mutants, I could accept a small number of them but not the numbers available as FEV was concentrated where it was with the odd sample being sent elsewhere as stated in FO1/2 Functional mutants where a result of selective contamination not lol dip everyone, if anything even given oure stock the SM to Freak ration was something like 10 freaks to 1 SM. I mean even Ghouls where suposed to be some what special (if common) they where supodely people who prewar used enough anti radiation meds then got high dose raitation something fucked up happened with there exposure, suposedly post war your already exposed enough from birth that it can't have the same effect outside of some extreeme stuff.

Some Ghouls did lose heigher brain functions and became rabid to a point but not all ghouls where, and some acted as care takers for those that where a problem in places like Geco in fo2 becoming a NCR Ghoul town that helped a lot of older Gouls out (kinda cut ending) I mean in FO2 NCR and in random encounters you find Super Mutants as aprt of the Rangers, while i loved NV the change was never explained or acknowledged and that was a ;et down.

I am willing to accept a lot from a franchise but the current FO asks to much, especially 76 I can accept short lived mutations and I can accept to some extent other lore breaking things but as a whole it asks to much for it to be a game older fans will accept or anyone who cares about lore more than ginds.

Yeah the temple is somewhat tedious. It's all about managing your AP (assuming you grabbed gifted and got good AP). You gotta punch punch run, then punch run punch run...etc. Same thing with the pipe rifle. Without giving spoilers you can get a 10mm pistol right after getting the pipe rifle, you just gotta kill a dozen rats or so.
 
Fallout 2 is hell on anything not gun or melee focused for the first chunk of the game. You just have to push yourself through it. Eventually you'll find enough ammo and guns. Soon money will become trivial. It gets easier as you progress, you just have to make it over that hump.

Also Bethesda caring about story is lol. Whatever good writers they had left a loooooooooonnnngggg time ago. Bethesda's entire model is 'release broken game, have everyone else fix broken game and give it personality'. Why is anyone surprised the first time they have to make a game solely on their own, they fucking faceplant? They use an engine that has been on its last legs for years.

Stealing. Save-reload quite often early until you nab some good stuff early without pissing too many people off.

Works pretty well if you're willing to spend a little time at it and you can acquire some pretty good gear including tons of ammo if you're patient.
 
It's been a long time since I've played 2, but can't you just run straight to Navarro immediately after the tutorial and get the advanced power armor there with just 1-2 moderate speech/luck checks?
