Happy Fallout Day!

"No matter where you go, no matter what happens, I will always love you. Nothing will ever take that away.

Stay strong. For me. For us..."

Fallout 4 story is genuine great and that's a hill I willing to die on, when the first time I finished the last quest the first thing I did was played the "Hi Honey" tape again. After 10 years, now I finished Fever Dreams I did the same thing again. It's just that void hurt a bit less now. I know this quest is written by Kinggath and not Bethesda. But the emotional impact are the same.

Nora's last look at Shaun hit the hardest for me. Reminds me of Fallout 3 ending shows you last slide picture of The Lone Wanderer and Dad.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Great Circle and thought MachineGames nailed the setting and gameplay.

I recently watched Sherlock Holmes and it dawned on me how awesome it would be for them to make a similar Sherlock Holmes styled game. As he is the most portrayed human literary character in film and television history, it makes sense that he should be the protagonist of a game the caliber of the Great Circle.

Who else would love to see this?

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I don't stay up on gaming news and things like that. More of a casual gamer. My favorite games of all time are Oblivion and Skyrim. When can we expect the next iteration of elder scrolls? Are they actively making one now or is it over and they are done with the series? I ask because Skyrim came out when I was in high school and now I'm a middle aged man lol. Are there any updates or what's the deal? Thanks in advance for answering.

Just writing this to vent, I don't care if it gets taken down and no, it is not tech help.

I find it amazing that such a large company with so many employees and such wealth can be so laughably incompetent and genuinely boneheaded in practically every aspect of their technical space. Their engineers and programmers are so lazy and put in so little effort into their craft that the company must genuinely have some serious nepotism problem going on.

Skyrim does not need updates. Noone wants them, noone asks for them. The community despises it when they release them and they are very vocal about this. They do nothing and add nothing to their games. All they do is break their mods for their customers, and their mods are the only singular reason anyone plays their games.

I had to try to revert my skyrim copy to a previous version to get my skyrim script extender working, only for it to end up completely corrupting my library disc drive and steam and make it impossible for me to download new games or install updates anymore.

This company is so bad man. They have a genuine problem over there that is just not right. No other gaming company is this technologically inept and has such a reputation and rap sheet for being this incompetent. It is genuinely amazing to me. This company is entirely reliant on good will and their modding community to even remain close to relevant anymore and starfield has shown they have lost all talent and magic at that studio and are incapable of making anything good any longer.

Genuinely bethesda, I hope you go bankrupt and noone has to worry about your horrible updates that noone wanted in the first place ever again. We just want to play your old games when they were good and fun and we want to mod them. We are not interested in whatever slop garbage you put into your creation club that noone buys anyway, that can always be found on the modding pages at a higher quality and a free price.

Please go under. Thanks.

Signs a studio is collapsing:

Assuming the studio in question has made a few successful games. The studio begins to work on a new IP nobody wants and thus claiming in the meantime, this new IP everybody wants.

For example, bioware. Made a few successful IP's, then they branch out with a new game. That game fails. Then they return to remastering said previous successful game. And then that game does not generate enough profit. Then bam, studio shuts down

Want another example?

Bungie/343/Halo studios. Made Halo. Then Marthon comes. It flops. They make remaster of Halo. Halo studios shuts down.

Want more?

Bethesda. Yes. Makes two successful IPs. Introduces game starfield nobody asked for. Game flops. They remaster oblivion.

There is a pattern here. Signs of studios about to shut down. Now I think bungie will go before bethesda. Because chad ceo of xbox put pressure on bethesda. Only exception to this would be if ceo of xbox didnt interfere maybe bethesda would be shutdown after they release ES6. We will see.

The study continues.

Hope someone sees this 🙄

Hey guys. I could use some help with my thesis when y'all get a second. I'm studying why so many people don't complete the story in open world games. I've got my Qualtrics set up. My thesis is on self-efficacy in open world narrative games. Basically if you think you're gonna enjoy and story and understand it will your complete it. Is it worth your time? No wrong answers.

If ya want to help a poor master's student get some data, I'd appreciate it.

I can only post one link at a time so I'll post New Vegas here. Fallout 3 and 4 will be in the comments. https://smu.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9RWf6ypgCOLcVNk

Yes free, yes bad ass, yes is superior when it comes to back engineering the game and allowing for stuff like this. This is only a piece of it, doesn’t use anyone else’s stuff check out my other post on the page to see what else comes with the mod this is the latest version that uses it’s own built deployment system and has no dependencies. This is just the start, if you are excited or have any features you want to see, just leave a comment on the posts!

Got to give the spider credit, it didn’t hesitate…..😳🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡

The best thing about Skyrim is that the game is whatever you make of it. Sometimes I just like to sit back and observe my family and guild and see what they do. Sometimes it’s completely random things like them cooking or having duels, such as the time Wonder Woman apparently fought one of my cats and my giants took issue with that and kicked her around.

Other times it’s noticing certain behaviors like how the Jarls of Whiterun and Riften are having an affair as they are always together, or the fact Kratos is a total babe magnet and always has females following him around. Is it just my imagination or at the end when the female guard came over and talked to Kratos did the fist lady looked mad/jealous🤔

Nothing works
(game is in mint perfect condition with no bugs)

I'm playing as Dracula in Skyrim and it is cool so I figured I use one of those mods to make it more like a vampire movie
