It's going to be even more watered down. The story will be completely linear with no meaningful choices. Starfield is probably going to be terrible on release and stay on life support for weeks. EDIT: It's not bad but definitely not what was advertised. Still did better on launch than I expected. A good step in the right direction given Bethesda's recent track-record.
The problem was always EVERY dialogue line is voiced. The textual communication (literature/poetry at times) in Morrowind was FAR superior to anything Bethesda and their VAs can crap out.
You expect a city to have more than like, 10 houses? What's next, more than 4 dialogue options, 3 of which lead to the same outcome, with the 4th as a, "No, maybe later?" Let's be real, Todd won and Todd will win again. You will keep giving Todd your money, and as you die, there will stand Todd Howard, dabbing on your grave.
Without the bonus that would come from the 85 score Obsidian was basically getting just enough money to pay the team and nothing more. No profit for the company. They made the best fallout sequel we will ever see and got paid peanuts. It was a raw deal from the start and it became absolutely depressing after that shitshow played out. They hemorrhaged employees like mad ever since either due to necessary layoffs or quitting. Obsidian is always walking a tightrope, of course they haven't "changed relations" with Bethesda. Bethesda is the one with the leverage. The weak suffer what they must.
I'm kinda over with official Fallout series. I like the games & cherish them & look forward to the total conversion mods. But the game already peaked at New Vegas & Bethesda can only do Fallout 3 over and over again with happy & fuzzy tones & looter RPG sims that at this point I don't think I'm getting a different experience at all with Starfield. Sure, there won't be power-armors but Fallout under Bethesda has so watered down writing & one-note tone that it doesn't differ too much what I'm playing from Bethesda. Starfield has that same optimist, utopian comedy atmosphere that dominates so many of the Bethesda games. That whole disneyworld feeling of RPGs. I'm losing very little by not being able to play Fallout 5. Life is short and there's so many other great games to play.
Vault Tec fired first, but the real question is did they do it alone? Were they coerced into doing it? Or did they really believe science was more important than humanity?
Maybe I will get Fallout 5 as a present at my retirement party.
Sure. The demo.
Is this how Todd honor the 6th house and the tribe unmourned?
I doubt they even know who they are.
Bethesda paid Metacritic to give it an 84.

You know its bad when people are making fan theories that everyone on the east coast has brain damage due to how illogical they act.
Alaska would be pretty cool, a frozen wasteland where houses or bunkers are hidden under hundreds of years of uncleared snow, think of the mysteries
Do you really think Bethesda would actually do the setting any justice though?
@@concept5631 Haha, no, fuck no
wait till he hears about half life
At least Valve has actual quality control.
Bethesda Fallout is still in the shadow of New Vegas even after 12 years has past.

I think this is just WAY too subjective for there to be a actual better take on dialog in a game
@@jphoenix9670 No matter how many VAs they can hire, there will be more dialogue without the VA.
Eh, good for you, but Morrowind isn’t my cup of tea.
Outer Worlds is a decent consolation prize.

I'm sure Obsidian would drop everything else if they were able make another Fallout game. Assuming they were compensated fairly this time.
Gotta bring back the old crew, most if not all of them are gone. Outer worlds was mid at best
From what I've heard, the "84" outrage mostly came from consumers and had little effect on the relationship between Obsidian and Bethesda.

Everything the one true god had said is completely true, for once!
Guessing I'm the only one who liked the voiced protagonist
'Fraid so
The sarcastic option is always the one that sounds naturaly
It didn't bother me but it also didn't bother me NOT having one. Not voice-acting everything would probably save them money, if nothing else.

My Hopes are down, because Fallout 4 was awful
