If you haven't played any of the Witcher games I feel sad for you. Or the first two Mass Effects at least, before they totally disappeared up their own rear end in a top hat. Or really a bunch of games.

The difference being that the witcher games are written well compared to:


also it makes any mods that add dialogue a millions times more jarring and lovely

Sure, but that doesn't make it a bad thing. It *might* make it a bad thing for that game, but it might not. It certainly makes modding a bit harder, but if they say enough crap you can always edit it to vaguely work. Innately there's nothing wrong with a voiced protagonist. It's just one more tool for storytelling. If you think people are poo poo storytellers, it really doesn't matter *what* they do. They'll still be poo poo at the end of the day.

1 is the weakest, especially if you played before they patched the poo poo out of it, but it's still fun. 2 is a much better game, and 3 is pretty neat. Overall worth playing, although I'd say 1 is skippable at this point.

Hulk Hogan cameo confirmed

According to a leaked copy of the Fallout 4 Official Guide (which is over 400 pages long) Kid Rock cameo confirmed:

The Dirt Rap superstar will be an exaggerated version of himself under the moniker "Bungstud", a hyperactive Ghoul wearing a pair of black leather pants, a bedazzled cowboy hat...and little else.

For the last three hundred years, Bungstud has dreamed of playing a show at Fenway Park. With the help of the player, he hopes to make that dream a reality--even if post-apocalyptic Fenway Park is currently occupied by "unsavory elements".

Will imbue the player with a perk simply called "Creed" which will reduce the intelligence of all nearby NPCs to 1 but will max out their aggression towards all other NPCs.

"Notable Quotes":
"You gotta be KIDDIN' me! That ROCKED!"
"I don't steal things--I'm rich."
"They call me 'Bungstud' cause I'm a stud..."
"I'll give you a hundred caps for every single Med-X you've got on you right now."
(An extended 4-minute version of Elvis Presley's Hard Headed Woman wherein the player will be unable to end the "conversation" until Bungstud is finished)

Fallout 3 - 464 pages
Skyrim - 656 pages

What was the "Good Fight" actually about? Three Dog occasionally gives survival tips like don't surrender to Raiders and be nice to ghouls but up until halfway through the story most people thought the Enclave Radio was some old looping broadcast so its not like it was an ideological thing to counter state propaganda.

This is an interesting parallel to Fallout 4 in a way; Mass Effect 3 had a great multiplayer mode but the single player story was bad. As the thing I enjoyed about the Mass Effect series was a solid story and fun space opera lore and all that, and I wasn't really looking to the series for a great co-op multiplayer experience, I was disappointed in the game.

Because the factory that produces these things probably has other stuff to do.
Basically how stuff like this works is that Bethesda ordered X amount of Pip-Boys. The factory made an assembly line to produce them and figures it can produce the desired number in Y amount of time. So they're going to run the assembly line over that period of time. After which that assembly line is dumped and the people, space & other resources will be used for another assembly line, to produce another lovely product for another customer. And there's no way Bethesda could convince the factory move from its schedule.

Bethesda can always order more of the things, but why would they? It would cost them more money and this creates more hype for the game.

Three Dog thinks he's helping people fight back against Raiders, Super-Mutants & Slavers with his lovely radio show.

"The Good Fight? What's that all about?"
"Imagine a picture, okay? A picture of the Capital Wasteland. All that brick and rock. A whole lot of nothing, right?
There's people out there trying to just barely make it by from day to day. Fighting to stay alive and make something of what they got.
But then you've got all kinds of poo poo... Slavers, Super Mutants, Raiders... They all want a slice of the pie too and aim to take it by force."
"So, people fight back."
"They can't, not against those kinds of enemies. They just run away and hide or they stay and die. It just ain't right.
So that's where I enter the picture. I fight the Good Fight with GNR as my gun.
The sound of truth goes out across the Capital Wasteland. Hell, someone's got to counter that bullshit on the Enclave station."

Three Dog is basically a more powerless version of Rush Limbaugh who completely believes his own self created image as the only one giving people the hope to go on as they are too powerless to defend themselves without him drooling all over the Brotherhood of Steel. If he's coming back in 4, I expect him to be the John Henry Eden talking up Brotherhood support like its the best thing in the world when they show up, but he's likely going to be unquestionably good because reasons.
