Predestination doesn't usually mix well with a true role-playing game.
Also, the whole Ayn Rand thing is stupid, I've never read any of her stuff (which, being an English major, is embarrassing on my part), so it's just randos trying to make a case to support their own views. It usually says more about the bleaters than the actual work.
But yeah, I just focused on the construction of the setting + make an antagonist. It's a lot simpler than whatever shallow-as-shit college wannabe reading interpretation of the game.
Yep, it was the cut ending if the Think Tank "won" and we had ending slides and everything
Bethesda was like, "you better not do this ending shit again after Dead Money"
Bad guys don't win
Only Bethesda won
(P.S. Showing the bad guys winning is actually very true to Fallout 1)
Avellone said:I wouldn't call it a creative decision, more like the publisher didn't want it. :/ So "de-creative" might be a better word for it, and it was another example of de-Fallouting the original spirit of Fallout.other guy said:Thanks for the clarification Chris. Having watched previous devs talk about the development of the dlc, I just assumed this was another case of time and budget constraints. Glad to know it was a creative decision.Avellone said:Nope, they just didn't want itother guy said:With most things with new vegas, it was likely down to time constraints.
But glad to see it was preserved, I'm sure the VO and slides exist somewhere, too.
de-cancelling?de-creative, de-Fallouting...what's next? de-ownering?
being an English major
You have to understand, before 2000-2005, universities hadn't sunk to ideological conditioning of their students. While it wasn't as prestigious as a STEM degree, getting an English major during this period could still be considered as having a good education.MCA has a degree in English?! Huh. Surprised to see a successful author with one. Actual successful authors who know hundreds of published authors can think of "maybe... 10" with one and know more with a background in accounting.
I've never read any of her stuff (which, being an English major, is embarrassing on my part)
She’s quite well known, but mostly for the ideas she brought into the mainstream; most literati consider her to be a poor writer that’s not particularly worth reading (I agree, her prose is trash).I always thought Ayn Rand was well known in America in particular, despite her ideology being mostly disregarded trash.
I was actually going to post this but forgot. +1 for this being pretty good. I can't speak about the rest of her work because it never seemed worth the effort.Anthem by Ayn Rand (1938) is an excellent dystopiannovelnovella, written at a time when she evidently understand the virtue of brevity.
John Galt's speech is 60 pages (three hours to actually speak) long. She was on the spectrum.
Grrm sucks thoughJohn Galt's speech is 60 pages (three hours to actually speak) long. She was on the spectrum.
GRRM writes 1500+ pages long books. If it weren't for Hemingway I would've said being long winded was the American style.
