I think its more the absurdity of comparing the relative depth of GOT to skyrim which is just two major factions involved. Never mind you can skip the whole politic negotiation thing if you decide to side with one of them and kill the other.
There's been work to run New Vegas on OpenMW. It's really slow, but it could help greatly with stability.
Yeah, I feel like STALKER and Metro Exodus got the genre down so well that Fallout 4 doesn't seem very necessary. The voice acting really just ruined the game for me because it makes it so hard to roleplay, ya know?
I remember arguing for hours with people, over a decade ago, if people should join the Stormcloaks or the Imperials lol. It just had better writing than Fallout 4. There's nothing really memorable about Fallout 4 because it's just SHAAWN SHAWN SHAWN. I had the same problem with Cyberpunk 2077. The story is just way too linear. Not enough role playing.
I've gone back to play FO3 here and there over the years but I've never felt the urge to revisit FO4 after finishing Far Harbor. At this point, I've probably spent more time listening to video essays tearing into it than I have playing it. Didn't feel like I missed out on any loot either as I retard lucked into a two shot gauss rifle. The only challenge was keeping the reserves filled.
New Vegas has been gatekept by no one being able to open the piece of shit since launch, aside from a very small sect of Chosen People who read the guides.
That's genuinely interesting, I always wanted NV 1:1 on a better engine, my gripes with OpenMW aside this could be sick.
Absolutely. As soon as voice acting is introduced, roleplaying takes a nosedive unless you're playing as a specific character instead of your own (like Stalker and Metro as you mentioned, even then barely any which is perfect, not so much in Stalker 2 and Metro Exodus lol). As soon as I heard Nate/Nora's voice I immediately knew the "roleplaying" would barely exist.
I've heard many compelling arguments for both sides over the years, even Skyrim had better faction arguments than Fallout 4 which is saying something.
I feel the exact same way, worst part is people get so defensive over it like you're not allowed to talk bad about it. Then again that's not surprising unless it's insanely bad. Like Game of Thrones Season 8 bad where it's almost universally hated.
Same, I've listened to PatricianTV longer than played (vanilla) Fo4, it's just so uncompromisingly dull. Mods can only help so much too.
If you can call it a challenge.
"Good" path is just obliterating the raiders, no? That DLC is basically "be evil" the DLC, and you're basically just evil Minutemen in terms of mechanics.
Complexity in any way shape or form is the ultimate gatekeeping technique. Some will get through, yes, but it'll be less insufferable.
Just a bit more on this for anyone interested.
I do know of that apparently really awful one called “From Hell to Heaven, Morrowland” that involves God and the Devil. Apparently the guy who made it was 100% serious about the whole thing. You can even still download it.
I'm just amazed at how much better Anvil looks with Morrowind's fog and color grading lmao
Hey I'm not trying to be an ass, for starters I've never read or watched GoT because I don't give a shit about it even though by your logic I should have all those years ago because it sounds like Skyrim. Didn't hear what people were saying about GoT back then because I ignore TV.
This guy's channel is a treasure trove, daggerfall, morrowind, an irish accent.
Ugh, Bethsoft gonna remaster the actual game? Or it's a separate version?
It'll be a weird sell for console players. Most everyone who played it on 360 will have moved on to PC gaming or abandoned gaming entirely. It's clunky enough for console players who've only played Skyrim to be filtered by the goofy mechanics alone. As you said, PC players will get their hands on Skyblivion later next year if the window is hit (fingers crossed). I don't really have a horse in this race but I'm struggling to see who this is for and why a remaster needs to exist beyond it being a cash grab.
I know this is just for the meme but unironically no. I don't think Todd really understands what makes his games appealing and long-lasting, and in many ways, I don't think he ever did.
I swear I saw an interview where Todd admitted HBO approached them about making a Game of Thrones game but they decided to just do it in their own universe instead. So kind of. To say there wasn't a pretty obvious influence would be silly given the very overt themes and art direction of Skyrim, that and the shitty Vikings show.
Skyblivion is supposed to come out next year, so there is. Beyond Skyrim is never coming out, though, and the modding scene is absolutely overrun with troon
Skyrim at least has a compelling setting and factions to play with and make a story about. The Commonwealth is a terrible sandbox.
