Going by one of the screenshots posted ITT, are the dialogue options generally Fallout 4 tier?

From the bits I've seen on streams, the dialogue is absolute garbage. The usual 4 different ways for saying the same thing. I wouldn't be surprised if they all lead to the same response too. The smidgens of new lore is a bit interesting though if you cared enough about the first two games. How I wish they'd give this IP to some better writers.

Pillows has never had a good writer in its entire existence, why would they start with Awoked? They're so indifferent to their own IP that they didn't even bother putting PoE as a title/subtitle to this. :lol:

Obshitian is toast.

Anyone who bought this game, I don't care if you paid 5 Argentine pesos for this shit, deserves to be impaled. And those who bought this game but not Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon deserve to be impaled, resurrected, and impaled again.

I don't think nowadays Bethesda has what it takes to replicate Skyrim success, it's a general downgrade in the industry.
Replicate Skyrim's success: no. Replicate Skyrim's plot: yes.
  • Fallout 3: You are searching for your father
  • TES V Skyrim: You are the Dragonborn
  • Fallout 4: You are searching for your son
  • Starfield: You are the Starborn
  • TES VI: You are searching for your sibling
  • Fallout 5: You are the Nukaborn

It's not like it's a very high bar they have to climb for improvement. Even Obsidian should be capable of going from garbage writing to okay writing. Definitely not with the team they have right now though.

By the way, there is such a dramatic moment when the city gets burned down, you go to check what the hell is going on 'coz that was a bit unexpected. People are crying along roads, dying or crying about their relatives. You talk to an NPC. The conversation ends and literally in front of you are dead people spread out on beds. With SHINY LOOT EFFECT above their dead bodies. Made me absosulutely KEK this moment.

The quality of artists has declined significantly due to many of them being brainwashed by the education system and even more being driven further off of the deep end by psychotic nutters who gather in swarms to push their biases on any artist who doesn't tow the line.

It's why the 'tumblr art style' has become so common, even in main games. The exaggerated noses, the androgynous and infantile aesthetics, the obsession with ethnic features/dark skin. None of it is natural.

It's as much as fetish for dysgenic freaks as autogynephilia is. Furthermore, there are often disingenuous attempts to pretend that if a character has a tan of any degree, then that means they are 'PoC' even if that is not the case at all.
