Oh, that reminds me a Shaun Lives mod.
I don't think there has ever been a game with an ending so shit that they had to go back and change it. The only thing that comes to mind is Mass Effect 3 and they didn't really "change the ending" they just added more context to it.
Actually Bioware just lowered the requerimients to get the best ending, which is just destroying the catalyst and surviving if you had a high level of war assets.
add on the fact said people are on drugs 24/7 to not go feral
No but i am a fan of leaving vault 101 and heading directly to operation anchorage and then vault 112
Make Shaun younger (around the age of nate/nora) and have it so him letting his parent out of vault 111 was just step 1 in his plan to create the realistic synths we see in normal fallout 4.
Normally I'd criticize Operation Anchorage basically just being a CoD campaign but I do enjoy shooting things. Especially with Fallout's comically violent combat.
The whole premise was retarded. The Institute kidnapped a baby frozen in a vault because... reasons?
adrenochromes, son
Wolbachias
I think what really ruins 4s writing is that your character is pretty much put together and handed to you. He already has a name, served in the military, has a wife, owns a home in Boston, has a son, is voiced, and is over 200 years old after being put on ice. You get to choose how he looks and what his specials are. That's it.
Something like Jimmy from Hardcore Henry would have been interesting. He's one man in some kind of computer set up, but he can control synths from the Institute, basically possessing their bodies. It would have made the synths an actual threat as well.
I really like Operation Anchorage being a cod campaign tbh it helps the dlc stand out compared to pitt, zeta, lookout and broken steel. It's also short and you get enough goodies as a reward for finishing it that i come out unable to truly hate it. I do find it funny that people treat it as a 100% serious and accurate look at the in universe anchorage campaign despite being created before the actual campaign happened.
Even new vegas has some details about the courier given to you but its not enough to truly ruin the courier being whatever you want him/her to be. Honestly people are just tired of the main character being a vaultie, 76 is probably the last time bethesda could do it
NOT ONLY those two, but they have even less of an excuse- Charon was literally brainwashed into following orders no matter what, and RL-3 is a goddamn robot with roughly the same problem.
They had the opportunity and then instead made cybernetics a suppressed art.
Pure DNA requirement for the Retconned-In FEV-Based Gen 3 Synths.
On the upside, you get to play such legends as Nate the Rake, but yeah it fucks up replayability (and roleplaying in general).
Lol no. Broken Steel only happened because the player base kept telling them the game's ending was completely shit, so they decided to sell an actual ending as DLC. Don't forget, they're the ones who gave us worthless horse armor DLC for Oblivion, and then later on mocked us for how shamelessly we give them our money with a horse power armor for FO4.
Imagine if Bethesda actually replayed the previous entry in these franchises of theirs before starting work on the new entries just so they can remember the bare minimum of the world they fucking made. I remember watching venture bros and seeing the conversation online about how well the writers were able to wrap up plot threads alongside build upon the world then the writers just admit all they did was rewatch the previous season/seasons before starting work on then new one.
the ending of base game fallout 3 is fine, the bigger problem is not being allowed to keep playing after the fact which is somewhat confirmed by this quote from Alan Nanes
Yeah broken steel does come with an objectively better ending for the main quest but being able to play after the main quest is a much more important feature added with BS
No, people were calling it bullshit at the time. "What, Autumn survives but we can't?"
Fallout 4s bad writing is evergreen, when we are actually living in 2287 people will still be finding new things to rag on Fallout 4s writing for. The infinite possibilities Bethesda could have easily done with Shaun and The Institute are just a few of them. Shaun's reveal just being that he's a boring old guy is emblematic of the boring setting Bethesda made the Boston Commonwealth into.
Doesn't Autumn visibly inject himself with something before he gets hit?
that's not emil, that's todd.
I guess that's made obvious by Fawke's quote in Broken Steel talking about how you changed his destiny, so it's only fair he change yours in return. Even if I still think it's stupid that the purifier is now conveniently irradiated to kill whoever turns it on because plot. (Yet somehow Liam Neeson causing an overload or whatever earlier to kill him and Autumn didn't damage anything but the battle with the Enclave did apparently?)
Well, yeah, but so can you considering Rad-X and RadAway exist as magic anti-radiation chems.
