Todd really thinks he did something there and got his revenge by slaughtering the material
But in fact it's just funny as shit seeing Todd and Bethesda shitting their pants and screeching about NV after 15 fucking years

TES VI will disappoint, they just have too much debt, both creative and technical, accumulated over the years and it's impossible to solve with their current developers (all of the senior positions full of middle-aged wastrels).
>>
>>738324876
I never played FO3 until a few years later after NV. I think FO3 is boring and unfun compared to TES series.

NV was kind of new to me when i could just kill anyone after being used to TES4. Said deaths resulted in quest failures. I wish TES6 can be more open with that instead of being railroaded.

FO4 tried harder but it's not there yet outside of faction choices.

Chris Avellone said Bethesda made Obsidian watch a powerpoint after the final DLC of FNV came out saying everything that they felt Obsidian did wrong and why they probably wouldn't work with them again, and Chris said they made valid points about bugs, the poor playstation performance, poor metacritic scores on things like Dead Money's frustrating gameplay, and the bad launch. As well as claiming responsibility for the bored sounding voice actors like General Oliver and that they absolutely easily could have fixed those and a stubborn lead on the team said "Players wont care, dont worry about it"
Bethesda also had given them the option to ask their team for more help on world design and Feargus Urquhart said no, and also refused to give FNV's source code to Bethesda for extra money purely out of personal spite, spiting the team's desires

This shit is so good
It feels so great when a RPG respects your intelligence and gives you complete freedom over who lives and who dies, even if it will break a lot of quests

Disappointing for people who expect every single good things from every other "RPGs" in the last 15+ years.

I expect TES but with more choices than previous titles when it comes to quests/factions. Gameplay in general will be smoother but still arcadey and you can't fuck up melee weapons and armors the way you can fuck it up with Fallout 4 equipment which is ugly and retarded.

I had this game installed on my computer. Decide to launch it. Shit doesn't support my 3440x1440 resolution. Google search shows I have to do some tweaking and stuff. Fuck that shit. Went back to mindless scrolling and Youtube.

I didn't uninstall it, but god do I have zero will to tweak shit like that. Even had to do it for Elden Ring, and apparently DS3 too (haven't done it yet cause it supposedly uses another method that ER... which I have zero will to fucking learn).

It didn't break quests, the game just failed them back to back. It should not even show up so that the player doesn't save scum like a fag.

Deaths being more of a " i killed him because i wanted to" without thinking and seeing possible quests failing on your screen.

Makes forum discussion more interesting when anon find an pussy slayer 666 sword because he didn't kill mcfag.

Base Fallout 4 had more options for quests than TES5 even with the retarded writing and yes no ? sarcastic options.

>>738324825
I doubt he was lying about liking NV. It's just that NV was supposed to be something to occupy the masses while Bethesda worked on Skyrim and when it and Fallout 4 (later down the line) released it was supposed to fade into obscurity. It didn't and it continues to run circles around everything bethesda has and will ever write and it made Todd lose his shit

NV is actually a troon killing game. Troon who self inserting into NV literally only mocked themselves since Tabitha is a nightkin, supermutant variant (who cant breed) and has brain damage (from using too many stealthboys). And the reason they use stealthboy? Because they are afraid to be seen.

Moreover they are all bald and ugly kekw.

I know that pain, I had to abandon my playthrough because it took literal minutes to save/load, loading times, and also my companions would just disappear from the game

The good thing is that New Vegas modding community is more alive than ever, there are always some big DLC expansion-like mods coming out
I said it on other threads but I recommend you anons try Long 15 - NCR Expansion, and Dry Wells - Legion Expansion mods, it's quality work with professionally voiced characters, tons of choices in quests, good writing overall
New Vegas is the gift that keeps on giving

I'll be honest, the Fallout show revealing the NCR ranger made me holler irl. But literally NOTHING from the Bethesda games would make me do the same if they appeared in the show. Like if Maximus hops out a Vertibird and there's a huge crescendo as he fucking throws back his coat to pose or some shit I'm rolling my eyes. If Preston fucking Garvey comes out of nowhere with a laser musket snipe to save the day, I'm groaning. Guess fucking why.

The two mods I'm talking about in my post are not autistic, and are actually vanilla friendly
It just expands on the 2 region that you visit after nuking them in Lonesome
Except those mods allow you to visit and do plenty of quests there before that happens
Best part is that it gives you well needed Legion content
We don't talk about the Frontier, it's shitty fanfic by edgy retards
The big project I'm looking forward a lot now, is Nova Arizona, basically a huge Legion expansion, taking place across the Colorado river, as Obsidian originally intended, but never got to make it at all
With of course voiced quests and all
Made by the same guys from Long 15 and Dry Wells

FNVs lead writer John Gonzalez actually returned to Obsidian last year and so did a few other FNV devs

Also I know I'm in a minority here, but Outer Worlds 2 would have been a much bigger success if it hadn't released in the culture war era

Isn't counter intuitive to also work on FO4NV "remaster" unofficially while still making big projects on the archaic version? Modders are generally autistic on varying degrees but i'm a consolefag and gets to use basic mods in most cases.

This should have been obvious to everyone when the Mysterious Stranger notes in 4 reference every mainline game except for New Vegas. Add to that the lack of any House mentions despite him being a graduate of CIT and Cabot talking about uncovering a hidden city under the Mojave, planting seeds to destroy the setting well before the TV show did the deed.
>>
>>738324232
Obsidian does
It was the first time they were told by publishers that it was all on them
They literally bragged about it being the sequel to Fallout 2

Turns out according to avellone even with 'another ten dlc it would never have been finished'
According to Sawyer, they had to hire modders to do most of the work since the team didn't know how to use the GECK and were 'forced' to make it 3d despite wanted to make it 2d but signed the contract anyway

I think that's fair if Bethesda didn't like the direction FNV went but it became very popular and a fan favorite eventually. I would love to see Microsoft sit Bethesda down and make a Power point on why Starfield sucked balls.

Dialogue options do not constitute gameplay. Most of the time you're not actually making a choice, you're just prompting NPCs for exposition. The few times you do make consequential decisions there are only limited ways things can go; A, B or C. Once you exhaust those finite options the illusion breaks. Whereas something like combat is systems based thus there are infinite ways to fight the same enemy NPC. Your agency never runs out.

All of this is to say that the entire CRPG/WRPG genre is shit.
>>
>>738327906

Not only Fallout New Vegas is a way better RPG than 3, it's also a way better shooter because of Josh Sawyer autism with guns, the different types of ammo
Even the whole perks/skills system is effortlessly better and offers way more variety
Did Bethesda even try?
I mean sure, Obsidian just got F3 engine handed to them, but even then, 18 months to do everything they put into New Vegas, is incredibly short
Obsidian were on fire with this game, too bad they couldn't flesh out the Legion more in time

The original Fallout already had different ammo types. Todd just dumbed down gameplay in Fallout 3 to jeet levels of retardation, because of course he did.

>>738332830
All of the objective improvements FNV made to FO3 doesn't matter to the FO3 folks, all they wanted is a post-apocalyptic looter shooter with ruined cityscapes, whacky and random encounters, and minimal story.
The exact type of people who Emil correctly guessed likes Bethesda games where story is for nerds and anyone wanting it should read a book instead.

No, it's a rumor. Even Chris has confirmed most people at Bethesda don't hate new vegas. They just hate the idea of working with anyone outside their company and that made New Vegas a black sheep, it happened under extraordinary circumstances and only because someone at bethesda pulled Todd's arm to be convinced to let the OG devs do something. It's not anything New Vegas or Obsidian in particular did

Avellone said the reason Microsoft doesn't force Obsidian and Bethesda to work together is because this is a much more contentious and complicated process than people think it is, and studios do not usually 'collaborate' like that, and they have a lot more autonomy to say no.

Also that Microsoft was likely forced to agree under Bethesda's terms what they could or couldn't do with Fallout and that included full autonomy with the franchise and that only Bethesda could have the rights to work on it per the contract. They literally demanded an arm and a leg from Microsoft for the purchase.

Outer Worlds couldn't have been a success because it was just absolutely soulless. It has no personality, no character, no life, no charm, nothing. It's one big void of a game. It does nothing particularly right or wrong, it just doesn't do anything at all. It's slop in the most literal definition. An amorphous, inoffensive pile of slop that no one can like or dislike because it's so soullessly made by committee.
>>
>>738331239
It really is insane they're still seething about it. People throw "sales" and "metacritic score" around but the fact that they have to throw that around just betrays the fact that they know 3 is worse. The more they seethe the clearer it is.

>>738324342
Who told you that?

>>738338973
There's no real defense aside from "muh vibes" and sales. It's kind of like what MKfags always do in fighting game threads, it's their only defense. No merits, no gameplay, just sales figures.

It's a third world way of arguing. Money = success. Success = superior. It's why they're all Indians that push it. The most popular has to be the best. That's why it's the most popular.

I can think of 20 more soulless games that came out in the years immediately pre-culture war that TOW2 doesn't even come close to.
>Outer Worlds couldn't have been a success because it was just absolutely soulless
It dragged and had cringe writing here and there but it was far from soulless. This is just youtuber opinions. It's no less soulless than Borderlands is far worse- which is still very successful. TOW2 failed because it wasn't even marketed.
Even for how cringe you can call it, it was still earnestly cringe and not riding up it's own ass.
> An amorphous, inoffensive pile of slop that no one can like or dislike because it's so soullessly made by committee
This is a culture war argument which is the point of me saying "if it came out pre-2011 people would not have cared about this".

TOW2 is no less inoffensively "reddit" than the writing of Bard's Tale or Borderlands 1, you can't point it out as 'uniquely bad'

Fallout 3 was still a success in 2008 and had a whole meme culture around it that boosted the popularity of FNV's release.
This history revisionism and trying to pretend that, even if it was a deeply flawed game, that it was "never good" and "never popular" is faggot-ass nigger revisionism that RPG Codex bandwagoners and influencers made up because they are the ones constantly seething since 2007 at the Fo3 teaser trailer revealing a first person shooter

i can't have opinions on TOW 1 and 2 but all I can say is that based off the trailers and the little bit of gameplay I've seen, nothing about it excited me other than "it was made by (some) of the people that worked on NV"
>>
>>738340331
It's not so much that the argument is that it's a bad game, I just don't understand how people don't see that FNV is just FO3 but improved.
I know how popular and fun FO3 is but FNV just does a lot of what it does better or takes a lot more stuff seriously, has more engaging writing, and just has more characters to care about.
That's why it's jarring to see it defended so intensely when the only arguably thing it does better is have random encounters that change up a playthrough. I think it just highlights what type of audience really favors 3 and what audiences favors FNV because even as a straight game I think FNV just offers more.

95% of the people who shit on Outer Worlds or Avowed here got their opinion from a influencer/zeitgeist and didn't play them, 4% played them but had a bias against it the whole time while expecting FNV or bust, and 1% who enjoyed them or can argue for their actual issues occasionally show up, try to argue in favor of them and their actual issues, get shit on, then leave and never talk about them again.

Not that guy but I was biased against Outer Worlds (I was rubbed the wrong way by people hyping it up as "The creators of New Vegas" when almost no one remained at the studio) going into it but I still have it a try before saying I didn't like it.

That's the thing anon, I don't recall TOW ever hitting the cultural zeitgeist, I don't recall any particularly notable streamers or influencers talking about it. There isn't a major modding scene or speedrunning community, or any kind of persistent fan-base talking about it, creating fan material. I don't even remember any virulent hatred. It's just such a bland game that was seemingly fated to die in obscurity.

I've heard it's now one of those homo hellholes Microslop turns its studios into. Not as bad as 343, there's still SOME talent left, but it's improperly focused.

>>
>>738341732
It's less about capitalism but more about some sort of about an existencial nihilism because you're now almost literally a cog in the machine.
The setting has mega corporations who control everythin so it's inevitable to say things about "capitalism" when talking about that, but it's not really a reddit critique of capitalist economy.

Microshit is simply retarded. They bought a bunch of gaming studios for tens of billions of dollars, but they still have nothing to show for it. They have also been in the vidya console business for over 20 years, but to this day, all they are remembered for is HALO. lol

If I were Xbox CEO, then the first thing I would do is have Obshitian make a new Fallout RPG and let Bethesda supervise the production. Maybe even make them official co-developers, so their little fees fees aren't hurt. I mean, just letting the Fallout IP rot until Bethesda has finished making TES VI makes no fucking sense. At this rate, we aren't getting another Fallout until 2035 at the earliest.
>>
>>738342362
If I were in that place, I'd purge every wokeshit infesting every studio, and probably get fired afterwards by the 'jeets in charge of Microslop.

I like how FNV's community was able to make the actual Goodsprings and the Prospector Saloon into something for FNV-fans to celebrate into a franchise-wide thing.
Nothing in the East Coast continuity could come close, and that probably drives the knife in deeper for Bethesda. They have the most "american" setting possible in D.C but did absolutely nothing FUCKING interesting with it because all they care about is destitution and window dressing.

The more I played TOW the more I fucking hated it, I couldn't tell if I was meant to take this world seriously or not because it's too absurd to be realistic but so incredibly unfunny to be a good parody. Beyond some decent companion quests I can't think of anything the game does that's actually good. The story is awful, the writing is fucking abysmal, the OST is forgettable, the game looks decent I guess. The worst culprit is that the gameplay sucks big time. While I understood the point of the limited guns and having 30 different types of the same item under different names as some sort of jab of late stage capitalism it made the gameplay so much worse. I really love having 7 weapons in the entire game and the better version of that weapon is just "Weapon Name +1" instead of unique weapons and how there's 5 different named items that do the same thing of "heal 30 health" instead of just having something simple like a Stimpak.

At least Avowed was somewhat fun with the build variety you can do and had some decent writing/lore due to being built off Pillars. It wasn't Pillars 3 nor was it the Skyrim killer people wanted but I vastly preferred it over whatever the fuck TOW was trying to do.

that's not really how it works. VW might own lamborghini but that doesn't mean they have them producing nothing but their hybrid SUVs. they own the brand because they are a prestige brand. not something to roll out of a production line in china endlessly.

nobody wants to work at microsoft when it comes to gamedev, at least nobody with any sort of pride. so if you force the IP out of its de facto owner's hands, you're going to get a lot of pushback internally, and you're going to look like EA to everyone else externally. that's not really what microsoft wants. what they want is brand clout, and prestige among gamers. of course, now that bethesda is owned by microsoft that automatically lowers their prestige, but that's the reason why they invested into their gaming arm.

They just had a really big turnout for the east coast mini-Fallout convention in Flatwoods, WV just three days ago. They even had some voice actors show up.

Outer worlds was a frontloaded game where the first world was kinda awesome and the rest was slop. Avowed was interesting throughout but not up to the same quality level as pillars.
