    It’s typical with the gameplay; it’s lacking in their world building. To be fair, Elder Scrolls came from some of the big wigs’ actual D&D games, and Fallout was originally created by an entirely different studio, so they kind of had some established stuff to work on for those series.

    This is the first thing I think they’ve ever done entirely new and on their own and it’s really showing that whatever talent they used to have in the writing department has long since gone away.

      They never had it. Look at the writing of Fallout 3 vs New Vegas. The main character had so much more to say in the latter, and with better lines. Fallout 3’s best line is “Fuck you”. It just got carried by performances like Three Dog.

          That’s why I said look at New Vegas vs Fallout 3. Because it wasn’t made by them and it is in another league. It shows.

            OIC. You weren’t lumping it in there with the “they never had it” line. That makes more sense.

            I would agree they never had it if not for Morrowind being really good. They’re never going to have another Morrowind. Seems like it was a fluke in the first place
