    Don't forget about Emil Pagliarulo, Bethesda's lead writer. He deserves just as much blame as Todd for the lack-luster story telling in fallout.

    I saw Todd Howard at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
    The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
    When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

    For a long time, I thought that he was just the lying mouthpiece of Bethesda. But he isn't. He's a decider and enabler, he's the rotten heart of Bethesda, and rendered it totally useless. They always had their quirks, but I could cope with it with a Creation Kit or GECK. But since Toddshit 76, you can't fix it with mods anymore, and their games don't deserve to be played and modded, because they are utter dog shit. Bethesda is technically, artistically and morally bankrupt, and I've stopped to be a fanboy. And I'm waiting for your analysis of Emil, the other bastard :)

    Are we forgetting that the owner of Bethesda sold out to capital investors whose only and sole purpose was to make money? Is it a coincidence that the most criticized games in Bethesda history came out after the buyout? Customer loyalty is worth $$$$ so crank shitty products until everyone who used to admire you is furious. Then sell out, bank the profits, and on to the next disaster. Maximizing return on investment leaves little room for quality because stock prices MUST increase yearly. Every AAA producer now has to answer to 70 year old Board members who don't understand video games and could not care less if they destroy the customer goodwill that took decades to build as long as the money keeps pouring in. That is the reason we see so many crappy, unfinished products that take one to two years of patching to be playable. Todd is a sellout, yeah, but he isn't the CEO or CFO. He may be lying to us every time he gets on stage, but he is told what to say by his masters. Gotta look deeper...orcs are evil, but they are just minions of the greater evil.

  • @Steelion69

    I think it says a lot when the person in charge of Hiring in Bethesda back in the late 80s/early 90s basically told Todd to fuck off every time he tried to apply for a job there. Hell they even used the "we don't have job opportunities (for you)" cliche.
    Almost as if even old mate knew that Todd was going to fuck up the company one day. I don't necessarily blame them either, Todd at the time was not game development material considering he WAS ONE OF THE SCHOOL ATHLETES, AND EVEN CLASS PRESIDENT! A smart jock applying to be a game developer in a studio filled with nerds sounds like a joke, and is more or less just begging to let in a wolf that will try to usurp power in the company (which inevitably happened) I vaguely recall reading statements from Bethesda OGs that left after Morrowind (one of the writers) - turns out they hated him, knew that he would effectively ruin the studio and art potential of future games, and once he gained power after Morrowind it the show was effectively over, and the OG rats retired or lept off a ship destined to burn.
    Low and behold 20 years later, and Bethesda still managed to somehow sell 15 million copies of Starfield, make enough revenue on Fallout 76 to keep making updates for it, and the Fallout TV show is a success. But their name is in the dirt, and their games have become progressively dumber, and more simplified to the point they are now just action adventure FPSs with RPG mechanics. But as long as they make money, and their games are only slightly less broken (and politically extreme) than the rest of the AAA games, Bethesda is not going anywhere. And as much as it pains me to say it "Whose laughing now!" Todd is a success, and I guess we just have to sit here and take it. As New Vegas' main theme goes "Let Go"...and go outside and touch some grass. Video games now are fucking garbage, guess it's time to get a real hobby, and get some bitches.

    The biggest problem with Cuckfield is that the lore is bland and it's trying to be a hundred things at once like the dune faction house va run or whatever then you have the space cowboy factions and an expanse like earth like faction. The whole game is all over the place and if they just kept the skyrim exploration formula it would be atleast somewhat enjoyable like fallout 4 which is a sucky rpg but a good shooter exploration game.

    Fallout Purists always puzzle me. The first two games exist and the other Bethesda games doesn’t take away from them. It’s not like comic books or even film where they use the characters and completely disrespect them. The creators of the original sold the game and are happy (which is more than I can say about other creators). I don’t really get the hate towards Bethesda Fallout as a whole, criticism I get though.

      I guess it must scratch a really bad itch you've got. As an Explorer, there just isn't enough hand crafted content for me. It can't scratch mine in a way that even FO4, with its abysmal writing, could. The wasteland of the Commonwealth had things to see and do everywhere. Skyrim had hundreds of hostile locations, with each telling a little environmental story. Starfield has... running in a straight line for 5 minutes, looking at rocks. At least there aren't any loading screens while you run inside each grid space.
      Vehicles look nice, but I imagine I'd mentally check out of the Starfield Hotel after the 30th totally excessive loading screen.
