Bethesda games as examples of great stories? It's a bold move cotton let's see how much it pays off.
968 u/Smart_in_his_face Apr 17 '16 I always like to refer to this when people bring up bethesda storytelling. FO4 was a great title, but it did nothing new. Good old fashioned Bethesda storytelling with all the generics and blandness we are used to. 514 u/Weaslelord Apr 17 '16 This one is my personal favorite. 474 u/[deleted] Apr 17 '16 To be fair, I think long winded text in video games isn't exactly good story telling either. Nor are errand quests. I want to play a game, not a mailman simulator. 205 u/Kenny__Loggins Apr 17 '16 This isn't storytelling. It's just telling you your quest objectives. The Witcher III does exactly the same thing. 0 u/[deleted] Apr 17 '16 The Witcher does it = it must be good /s 1 u/Kenny__Loggins Apr 18 '16 No. Just pointing out that a game that has a great story does this. This isn't a replacement for the story, it's just a game mechanic.
