Everyone loves talking about how Starfield is a disaster nowadays but I'll be real it was already obvious within an hour of starting Fallout 4 that they had completely lost the plot on what a role playing game even is
like, it becomes meaningless. in fallout new vegas deathclaws are a really cleverly employed creature that serves as a soft wall for progression that cannot be defeated at all for a LONG time, unless you are very clever and experienced. in fallout 4 they are just a guy you kill to feel cool and powerful and get a hands free orgasm 1 hour in. yeah no shit of course the game didn't hook me, i immediately realized after this that it wants to be disney world & not a story a player can be a part of!
@foxoplasmosis It's pretty funny how as a consequence the minigun in fallout 4 is actually pretty weak in terms of DPS
bethesda figured, power armor is cool, right? let's give players power armor at the start of the game. miniguns are cool, right? give the player a minigun at the start of the game. and what's a cool thing to kill with a minigun? that's right, a deathclaw, those are cool. it's cool if a player kills one of those real early, that should hook them
why are those things cool? well in fallout 3, new vegas, killing a deathclaw, getting power armor, those are ACCOMPLISHMENTS and not FLASHY STORY FILLER
