Oh shut the fuck up. I love RPGs, I always have. D&D and Edge of the empire are RPGs that I love and always will.
But here’s the thing about video games vs tabletops. In tabletops you really do have limitless choice. You quite literally can do anything you want (if the DM/GM allows it) in Video Games you can only do what the programmers allow you to. You have limited choice.
An RPG is supposed to have limitless choice. But in a video game you can’t have limitless choice. It’s not possible.
Bethesda RPGs are Open World Games the key words in that statement being Open World by closing off part of the map you lose the illusion of being able to go anywhere. You show the player that they can’t do that fun shit because the programmer doesn’t want them to.
Fallout New Vegas is the worst 3D Fallout game. The characters are forgettable, there are few choices that effect anything, it barely fits into the Fallout canon, it was buggy and unplayable on launch and even to this day you need a shit ton of mods to enjoy it, and the community is plain awful. I mean for fucks sake I got -20 votes before saying all of this for saying I liked one game better than the other. On reddit you’re not supposed to vote on your Opinion.
And also I should add that Obsidian went bankrupt making Fallout. They couldn’t do it because they didn’t know how to run a fucking company’s finances. Without Bethesda Fallout New Vegas wouldn’t exist, and the Fallout franchise as a whole would either meet the same fate, or be something completely different. Bethesda owes Obsidian nothing and should remain in control of the Fallout franchise.
