    Bethesda could set a game in the core region of the NCR, where they have infrastructure, institutions (schools, hospitals etc) and they'd *still* turn it into a barren wasteland with people living out of cardboard boxes. They'd probably even cram the BOS in there as a major faction and NCR would be a tiny cult
    Wait... you're telling me they did this with the movie?

      With the show, they wanted to do two things that couldn't happen at the same time. Number 1 is setting the show on the west coast. Number 2 is having the BOS be a major faction. To get the NCR out of the way, there were a few routes they could take. They could canonise the legion ending of FNV, but that would mean that they'd still have a very prominent legion kicking around, with a lot of controversial views that wouldn't go down too well with the general public. Another way to go would have been setting the show way after FNV, maybe having another west coast game first to really detail some good, well thought out reasons as to how the NCR could decline so much in such little time. But they just said "One Vault-Tec manager nuked shady sands." and left it at that. At best its lazy writing, at worst (which it is) it's bethesda sacrificing an entire major faction just so that they can have their fancy knights in shining armour fly in to save the wasteland, fighting the enclave for the Third Fucking Time.
      Heres an idea Todd, if you want a post apocalyptic wasteland so much, maybe set your show closer to the fucking apocalypse! It's been 200 years and in both of your games society is still in ruins, more in ruins somehow than fallout 2, set 40+ years before.

    58:00 "turning fallout from its root in nihilism and ethos towards a positive and familiar message of putting america back together"
    Only *superficially, it's the complete opposite* when you dig even a bit under the surface, the way it's made is completely nihilistic along with their interpretation of "war never changes" meaning "everything has to stay a wasteland and you can't have progress"
    whereas fallout 1, 2 and new vegas, despite having the look of a wasteland, shows meaningful progress towards building back, getting a proper sense of civilization moving past towns and towards nations

      they could've done a game where the NCR sees a new player in the republic, a company similar to the gun runners that specializes in finding prewar blueprints and reverse engineering them with their current tech to mass manufacture weaponry and power armors.
      Instead of f76 and 4 making up armors that are closer and closer to the nukes, (some of them being designed a week before lmao), you could see stuff that's much more rugged and utilitarian, replacing expensive servos with hydraulics.

    I love that the 76 segment included the term "mindless fun." That's what Bethesdafication means: the degradation of something dense, rich, and specific into something palatable to the masses.
    I would have appreciated the inclusion of the "surprisingly good" Fallout show. IMO the show is the final stage of Bethesdafication and made the transformation of the franchise complete.

      Kinda. Kinda not..
      I would agree up untill Fo4, which is where i think a major devide happens in Bethesda's games, and it became a lot less about "mindless fun", and a whole lot more about "this gameplay loop is proven to be highly addicting, let's cash in our chips!".
      Fo4 is where, atleast in my eyes, exploration and questing started taking a backseat to infinate treadmills. Treadmills to gather stuff, so you can make more stuff, stuff that actually isen't important to the game and serves no real purpose, but the process of gathering and crafting is highly addictive. Treadmills to kill stuff for the chance at legendary drops. Do these legendaries actually matter? Do you really need them to beat the game? No, not at all, but chasing the shinies is highly addictive. Treadmills of "content". Is the "content" actually any good or fun to play? Not really, it's super repetitive and completely mindless, but doing it gives you an axcuse to go gather more stuff, to craft more stuff you don't actually need, and maybe you'll get a chance at a legendary drop too, which you also don't really need, but it's shiny! It has slightly improved stats!
      Get on the treadmill! Chase the shinies! And remember to drop by our store to buy some more crap you don't actually need, and which modders used to give you for free.

      You know it's wild when they do it to their own franchises too. You'd think The Elder Scrolls would've started as a Bethesda game, but no, 1-3 were actually really deep and interesting RPGs for the time, especially Daggerfall. It's probably more Howardification. Todd has his style and I'm certain even when he retires, Microsoft will ensure he's replaced by someone who won't deviate from that. Makes the big money.

    I gotta say I need to push back on that "newer fallout games are better/more fun".
    Fallout 1 and 2 are a completely different genre to the Bethesda games, hell they're a different genre to Tactics. Those games share more DNA with games like Wizardry and Heroes of Might and Magic than they do the FPS rpg-lite games that come later. Fallout was literally based off GURPS and it's gameplay is trying to automate and emulate tabletop roleplaying games. And there's clearly a demand for these CRPGs as they keep getting made and keep selling, I dont even need to name the 2023 GOTY.
    That statement is the kind of ignorance that had people saying Baldurs Gate 3 needs a real time option or that turn based RPGs like Bravely Default shouldn't exist. You might not enjoy it but its influence was immeasurable and its pretty clear there's something to be enjoyed by the fact this game alone pulled Interplay from the brink of collapse.

      ​@electricsabbath996 It's honestly a shame that so relatively few people actually go back and play the older Fallouts, or older games in general. They came out before I was born, and I went back some years ago and found them to be highly enjoyable in their own rights, more so than many modern releases. Certainly more so than the latest Fallout release.
      I found the same with the 1993 Xcom game; it blows many newer strategy games out of the water even though it's 30 years old now. And that isn't even nostalgia: I never played it as a kid, and wasn't even born when it released. Same with Heroes of Might and Magic 3, which I grabbed recently.
      More people should play these classics. It gives perspective on how game design has evolved and improved in some areas, but been completely ruined and regressed in others.

    Still trying to figure out the innovations that bethesda "made" that caused any lasting impact.
    Dark Messiah of Might and Magic had better graphics, combat and story, it was released in 2006 just like Oblivion, and Oblivion only got popular because it was open world and the NPC interactions were unintentionally comedic and ridiculous.
    Fallout 3 was a generic shoplist rehash of Fallout 1 and 2 except with a very stupid main quest and 2008 levels of censorship, the game looked bad, played bad, and it was again the first exposure Gen Z got to post apocalyptic themes.
    Skyrim took out half of the RPG elements of Oblivion which was already a cut down Morrowind, it is popular because it was the 1st first person medieval like "RPG" Gen Z played, it also got thematically popular because Game of Thrones was the biggest thing on TV in 2011, it was lucky that it released in that same year with similar visual themes while having a story that did New Vegas but with half the factions and 10% of the choices.
    Fallout 4 was a response to the mockery Fallout 3 received regarding gameplay, with a story written by a Gen X dude who heard about cryo stasis in 90s TV because Ancient Aliens hadn't gotten made yet, then he realized he was helming a franchise that had sci fi elements and shoved that stupid 1990s sci fi fad into a 2014 game because he never bothered googling that water expands in volume when frozen. Wrote a cartoonish evil faction that uses the pinnacle of complex human-made pieces of machinery and engineering to take over the lives of random beggars and diseased scavengers because he heard a drunk guy praising The Thing at a bar once in 1997.
    The good thing about Starfield is that it is raw Bethesda, a Bethesda that doesn't get to leech off the work and world building of indie 90s passionate developers. when they are left to their own devices they can't build anything functional or original with their own hands.

    To me, the story of Fallout 4 simply just isn't passable. It's not one of those things where I can turn my brain off and not care, since I am playing an RPG for the story, not the gameplay. Synths make no sense there's several critical human functions they cannot perform (reproduce, eat, drink, shit). That would easily allow anyone to identify them. The institute has absolutely no reason for making Gen 3 synths, since they themselves insist they are not sentient. Then for some reason, Father gifts you a 10-year-old version of himself that will never change, and you cannot see grow up since it's a fucking robot, as his DYING WISH. (All the while insisting it's TOTALLY not sentient)
    Things like these are just one of many places in Fallout 4 where Bethesda sacrificed what made Fallout great to make a completely different game. Gone is Fallout's introspective, absurdist, nihilistic attitude about the nature of humanity and the ever turning wheel of war. Instead, replaced by jumping around a still-functioning Nuka-Cola factory in Vault Boy themed T-60 power armor for the 27th time because you just really need the radioactive material to finish up your Brotherhood shrine that you paid 15 dollars for off of the atomic shop.

    Hi. Been there from the start, so let's give the shortest rundown:
    Fallout 1: a classic. Buggy mess of a game, but solid proof of concept. The game was dark, but actually lacks most things you'd think about when you think of Fallout now.
    Fallout 2: okay HERE is where you get the 50s stuff, the Enclave, the Vault experiments. If you like Fallout, this is likely why. A lot of people hated the jokes and references.
    Fallout Tactics: the unsung gem. This game is older than some teenagers right now, and it's graphics hold up still. Out of the original games, this has the best art quality overall. It's story is a little thin, but that's because they didn't have the same writing staff. It's well worth playing still.
    Fallout Brotherhood of steel: it was a desperate cash grab. Interplay was going under, so they let someone else make a Fallout game to keep the lights on. That said? It's actually FUN. That helps. It's crude, both in comedy and art, but making a game fun to play is a lost art.
    Fallout 3: Honestly, this game always left me feeling physically cold. I don't know if it's the art direction (fifty shades of gray, literally) but it's okay. If I'm ranking them all, this is actually pretty low. I like some characters, but it's largely bland.
    Fallout new Vegas: is it perfect? No. Is it close? Yes. If you want the best overall Fallout game, this is it. It's got the world building, it's got the cohesion. It's got a soundtrack that will make us randomly burst into song with the right word here or there.
    Fallout 4: it has mechanics I like, a story I hate, and is entirely entertaining enough that it's one of my mainstay 'I'm bored, let's play this' games, for like, 5 years running at least. This is the Skyrim of the Fallout games. It does everything just right enough that while yes, you get bored of it, you never really get sick of it.
    Fallout 76: ambitious. But they flew too close to the sun. If they retooled it into a single player game, I'd buy it. As it is now, a buggy mess that they wanna charge you money to try to play? Pass on it. Hopefully Bethesda doesn't try that strategy again.

    Your points about 76 really back the opinion i’ve had about it since i first played it. why make it a fallout game? Rather than slapping the fallout ip on it, why not just make a different game? Or go the fallout online route and make it a game apart from the main series. I play the fallout games for the amazing story and characters and to sacrifice it in favor of another looter shooter seems just so tragic. 76 has more in common with borderlands than the fallout series.

    Bethesda has not been ruining Fallout the franchice, the series was ruined from the day it changed hands. Fallout 3 is a mismanaged amusement park of butchered and mismatched lore, elements and characters from the previous game that have no reason to exist. The roleplaying aspects have been all but removed to turn the game into an open world shooter with some numbers going up once in a while. Like with TES, Bethesda seems to be either completely deluded about their own efforts and believing every piece of their own marketing about how deep the mechanics and writing in these things are when its clear neither are true. The fans of the current state of this series dont really seem to care as what I have been discussing so far is perfectly enough and all they really want is more things to shoot and loot while covering up any major holes left by Bethesda devs up via third party content created by modders. Its a painful existance to be a Fallout fan, knowing theres not a shred of hope things might turn for the better at any point in the future as long as Bethesda is at the helm.

      I watched a story writing keynote Emil Placo (Bethesda's lead story guy) gave a few years back about how he wrote his games. He oozes that Bethesda "you will eat slop and you will enjoy it" energy the whole company constantly gives out these days. Attributing the shit-tier writing quality in Fallout 4 to people "ignoring the story and making settlements for 2 hours". Having good gameplay in an RPG is supposed to be the bonus on top of an amazing story and world to immerse yourself in. Not the other way around. And certainly not an excuse for writing the worst Fallout story to-date.
      (Yes, even worse than the recent Fallout 76 story expansions. NGL the Valley's story was actually pretty good)

And to the starting big ominous middle door with you! Don't even get my started on the later color version, *visceral*. "Ney Ney Ney Ney Ney!"
    Anyway. Yes Black Isle's idea of FO is very, very different from Bethesda's. They had a sense of humor about it; adult themed pop-culture references, not afraid to show humanities real side. That was key to portraying a serious post-apocalyptic setting, in any medium. If you don't do it right, it's just goofy.
    You play BI's versions of FO for the story. You play Bethesda's jank versions for, well, the jank. And first person shootyness. They are also a bit less tense, b/c they were designed for a younger audience. Add strangely addictive blandetized skill mechanics and first person gun play and suddenly it's bearable for long periods.

    For example, mikeburnfire played it a lot and came back to it several times, trying to like it, stopping and making a review a month or so ago and in short, he found it terrible, not even mediocre. The general opinion from the public comes from people who love story-driven content, and fallout 76 is basically the polar opposite of it, *your choices do not matter, they made it so they cannot matter*:
    Like earlier in the video, the reason why there isn't stealing isn't because "everyone shooting at you for stealing a cup is kinda silly", it's "we cannot make essential NPCs hostile to you so we make stealing completely neutral". It fixing that impression is purely incidental.
    All those story-sided problems don't even mention about the quality of the writing, which is impressively bad.
    You know you messed up when people complain about there being no NPCs in the beginning and only robots, and when you start adding some, people immediately turn around and go "holy bejeesus nevermind that's even worse, please go back, go back!"
