What is wrong with Boston as a setting?

Fenway park Home of the Green Monster.

Bunker Hill.

There's a major league baseball park in... 30 or so other cities (I forgot how many MLB teams there are). Dozens of other AAA and AA parks that would look effectively the same for video game purposes. Bunker Hill is nothing that stands out. It's not like the Capitol Building or the Vegas Strip or the Hoover Dam.

Both Fenway and Fallout have Green Monsters.That is what I was shooting for not That it was a famous ballpark(It is that as well)

The history of Bunker Hill is fairly well known (In the US anyway).True it is not visually recognizable location but it is recognizable in it's own way.

more reasons

Cambridge (Where Harvard is located) is often called the Peoples Republic of Cambridge because of the far left leanings of it's residents.Ties to FO can be made.

Another thing the Devs at Bethesda like to have a location with a Lovecraftian tone to it in their games.Just south of Boston is Providence home of H.P. Lovecraft.Maybe not part of the main game but certainly a possible location for a DLC.

What specifically did Skyrim do that makes it a better cRPG than Fallout and Fallout 2?

Dragons?


I'm having difficulties in understanding how you inferred that statement from my post. I was talking of relative value between two consecutive games from the same series, and you're jumping to a absolute value statement like it ain't no thang.


Skyrim's gameplay mechanics, C&C tracking and cohesiveness of world lore are all inferior to Morrowind. NPCs don't react to shit you've done.

People like Skyrim because Oblivion.

Nobody mentioned Morrowind, which I hold in highest of regards. Again, I was talking about Skyrim as a game that, against my expectations, managed to raise its head somewhat from the fetid pit of sheer disappointment where Oblivion left the Elder Scrolls series, without bringing it anywhere near the level of previous installments.


What about Detroit?

Who said it was better than Fallout 1 and Fallout 2? If you refuse to play RPGs of lower quality than Fo1/2 then you're gonna be left with about 5 games total to play.

This logic does not compute on Codex. If an RPG is not a near-perfect classic you are supposed to refuse (to admit) playing it. No wait, actually, you can admit to playing it, even for hundreds of hours, but then you have to post that's "irredeemable shit" and not worth $5.
Every Bethesda entry to the series makes the universe worse and convinces more people that Bethesda's version is the real one.

That's why I don't care if Fallout 4 even reaches decent RPG levels (which I doubt it will). It's still a kick in the nuts for me, a fan of the original game.

That's what I just said. The taxes are raised by a dollar and lowered by 10 cents, and the proles rejoice. I find this way of thinking rather sad.

Just pointing out that it is not the worst choice possible.

You are correct not many would get the PRC connection outside of Mass. so that was a stretch.

I was on The Cutting Room Floor looking at betas of old games and eventually found my way to the Fo3 section. This is a beta loading screen. Just look at it. It says a lot about the writer's understanding of Fallout lore.

They should've just called it PoS 2; that being the closest relative to what they did.

"I've had enough. I'm too old, just let me die already! Find someone else!"
"No Gamebryo! You are not too old! Come on, you still have at least 2, maybe even 3 generations in you! Look at all this RAM! With this you can look like a brand new engine!"
"2 gigabytes? I don't know if I could even handle that much..."
"No Gamebryo, it's....it's 8 gigabytes."
"That's what I said, 2 gigabytes! I bet you'll want me to use 2 cores too, huh? Like you need that many. Look... It's a difficult decision, okay? Can we at least wait and see how Fallout 3 is received first?"
"That's... already out, Gamebryo. You even had Skyrim after that! You remember Skyrim, right?"
"Hmpf! Of course I remember Skyrim! That's the one with the swords, right?"


"Look, Todd. I know how much you like him, but this isn't gonna work. Maybe we should use something else like-"
"NO!! Gamebryo is my friend, and I'm not gonna just leave him behind! Make it work or you are fired!"
"All right, we will try but it's gonna take a lot of time..."
"Just make it happen!!!"
