Bethesda games are popular because they are
- One of the best Barbie Dress Up games (only rivaled by The Sims)

Hell no. Not without mods, and even then Skyrim is much worse than Saints Row for example. They fixed that in Elder Scrolls Online, it will have better character customisation but this game isn't out yet and it's also MMO so we should compare it to EVE, and compared to it ESO is still shit.

Nobody interested in customization plays Bethesda games without mods, and with mods they beat any unmoddable MMO or poorly moddable SR.

Post apocalyptic for me is riding in a dune buggy shooting radscorpions.
Does gamebryo even support vehicles? I have a vision of the whole thing blowing up (in mini nukular eploxians, obviously) if they even tried.

Riding radscorpions! they are even look like a natural loot stash with their flat backs.

The Internet exploded in speculation as it turned out that a few days ago, Bethesda filed for a Fallout 4 trademark with the Office for the Harmonization of the Internal Market through their usual legal firm, DLA Piper.

You can find the filings here and here. Both are Nice classes 9, 16, 25, 41.

In human terms, this means Bethesda filed for trademarks for games, online information about games, printed media, and clothing. If you want the precise legal definition, look up the above links.

TESuvius is terrible, compared to anything.

the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that a game that needs mods to be good "beats" a game that doesn't

Looks like this is legit. inb4 the ARG is a better game than Fallout 4.

Why should Bethesda game have voices at all

I know, seriously, why?

Yo I didn't say that. Even getting off the line that voice acting is logistically a bad idea, just listen to the VA and VA design in their games. It is completely and transparently incompetent - the actors generally have no fucking idea what the context of any of their lines is, they use tiny pools of aggressively untalented voice actors for dozens and dozens of characters each, they 100% just get nerd celebrities of completely incidental voice acting ability to voice shit for marketing purposes... even like the meme-generating thing where they have many different actors do the same line is like, why would you ever do that, it is so god damn Dunning-Kruger, what the fuck, why are you god damn stupid kids buying this instead of at least like Saints Row or GTA or Red Dead run around fake worlds doing boring shit games, is Ziff-Davis marketing run by a tiny glowing god-alien from another dimension

 

[Newfag-er]

Why should Bethesda game have voices at all, most of it sucks

I know right

Skyrim/fallout 3 did get marginally better though (note: compare to oblivion)

I can't mod saints row, and I have to buy dlc

 

[Athelas]

The hilarious (or rather, maddening) thing is that their terrible voice acting (much like their 'endearing' bugs) only garners them more positive attention. Case in point: the whole arrow in the knee meme.

Competent voice acting tends to go hand in hand with good writing, I find - you can't separate the two.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

I'm actually looking forward to F4, contrary to Shit Effect 4 or Hepler Age.

At least there won't be any Gay sex or Feminazism in it.

What flaws in the "perfect" Skyrim do you think previewers will say are fixed this time?

If Fallout 4 has STALKER style weapons and combat I could put up with shit quests and story. Although, odds of that happening are less than o.

As if console kiddies could handle STALKER's combat.

Also contrary to New Vegas

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

If F4 enables another Obsidian developed Fallout game then I'm all for it.

Someone probably shared this before but I can't stop meself.

Also this...

Meh. FO3 writing is legendary, but FNV wasn't all that titillating either, all the MCA fanclub aside. Most quests in the main game were a snooze fest of "go there, pick a generic dialogue option/kill stuff/take item, go back, get reward". There were no involving plots, interesting characters or conversations to savour. Only one I can remember is Chief Hanlon's monologue because it was actually decent among the sea of mediocrity, but that's it.
Quantity means shit all if none of it is quality.
Mind you, the concept of a bunch of degenerate LARPers running around in skirts raping and killing people for giggles did get a few laughs out of me before I found out they were an actual faction in the game.

To be fair, the game isn't terrible, just far from being a role-model or basis for comparison. That said, I still haven't gotten around to playing FNV DLCs (not much time to play these days), so maybe those are worth something.

In my humble opinion DLCs are much better than the original game. Especially Dead Money and Old World Blues. They also have superior writing.

Make of this what you will.

 

[Onholyservicebound]

I don't see why they wouldn't comment on it, maybe they're okay with the press and hype the hoax is garnering.
