RebootKrondor have you played actual Morrowind? Your post lists Morroblivion, the mod to put Morrowind landmass into Oblivion engine.

Have posts been deleted from this thread, or was that bizarre meltdown really triggered by the harmless quip that preceded it?

RebootKrondor when did you start transitioning?
Are you a gamer girl?
Can you prove your gaming cred? Have you finished all the Assassin's Creed games?

The unwashed masses are still making new threads about the article:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/4k2lvq/rpg_codex_criticism_of_fallout_4/

Not that I'm going to defend Fallout 4 or anything, but does RPG Codex still make a habit of settling on a standard for RPGs that's always at least 5 years out of date? They used to say that Morrowind wasn't an RPG. Hell, I remember people over there claiming that Baldur's Gate wasn't an RPG because it was in real time.

Its RPGCodex, the take whining grognarding to a new stratosphere

Just goes to prove the enduring relevance of this fine piece of criticism :obviously:

You know we're losing our edge when Reddit people downvote baseless anti-Codex comments

"Fallout 3 and 4 genuinely feel like visual & production updates of the 1990s Fallout games in terms of gameplay, quest and world design. People here will of course focus on VATS and other superficial crap since, well, it is cool to hate."

Great review. Very articulate. That's what game reviews should be like. I've stopped reading it halfway because morbid fascination got replaced with depression. Oh God, it's a Fallout sequel! Oh no... D:

Bubbles, any chances for a Fo1 review in that vein?

I felt the same way about Might and Magic 6, though it took about a year in that case.

I wonder...would you have had the balls, as a pre-teen, to walk into a shady pool joint filled with crims(When crims were CRIMS)...to play a pinball machine?

I remember you. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone what happened on top of the pinball machine.

Excellent review. I savored every sentence. You could be the Mr. Plinkett of "RPGs", if you did this in a YouTube format $_$
