Given the trajectory of the series (and Bethesda games in general) I have this creeping fear that it's going to be even more watered down than Skyrim is. It seems like with every game Bethesda releases they strip away RPG elements and dialogue and "streamline" everything, effectively making their beloved RPG franchises into action-adventure games like they did with Fallout 4. What are the odds they turn it around and actually make the excellent first person open world RPG the series deserves?
My dream is for TES to get it's own New Vegas, a return-to-form RPG from an outside company that actually knows how to write an interesting video game
The main story in FO3 was insultingly dumb. I remember my first playthrough I found out about the sacrifice at the purifier so I deliberately went back and got Fawkes then replayed the whole ending sequence again only to be hit with the classic "I'm sorry, my companion, but no. We all have our own destinies, and yours culminates here. I would not rob you of that."
Dumbest shit I've ever heard in my life. The world outside of the main quest is decent in 3 has some cool moments and locations but god damn that one moment really soured the whole game for me
I played 3 after New Vegas and 4. Even 4's story towered over 3. They had to make an entire DLC to retcon the ending
