I just hope there are no children. Bethesda is incapable of writing them, and they're annoying as hell. I understand why you can't kill them in game, but I've never met anyone who enjoyed having them around. Even in Hearthfire they were just an afterthought.

Children in their last 3 games weird me out. Because they use one model to convey multiple stages of development. So in little light you have kids that can barely comprehend maturation and growth as concepts, and in skyrim you have a kid actively summoning an assassin. But they look almost identical.

What's completely loving insane about "HATE NEWSPAPERS" is that that's not a response any human being would ever have when someone tells you they write for a newspaper. Even "UGH, JOURNALISTS" makes more sense, and at least there's a direction you can head from there ("what's your beef with journalists?" "well when I was a war hero they wouldn't leave me alone" "you were a war hero? what war did you fight in?" "well..." and now we are developing characters). I'll concede we don't know what's behind those options (which is its own problem) but from the terrible previews they read like they were written by someone who has never had a conversation but was asked to synthesize one based on a YouTube Mass Effect Let's Play. At least if the character weren't voiced I could know what my options are and imagine something resembling a sane line reading.

Yeah doing PC VA really seems like the worst of both worlds-- you lock everyone into one specific voice, and the dialog itself gets less depth. Meanwhile at one end of the spectrum the roleplayers are going to pretend like the VA isn't there because their gay republican serial killer character doesn't sound like that and at the other end of the spectrum people blitzing through the plot to hoover every bit of loot and kill everything are just going to scan the captions for anything actionable and click through anything else.

There's a secret side quest chain that you unlock by only picking the HATE X options in a conversation with a certain NPC.

All their games have at least a few of those. It varies from game to game, but you can expect to see some cool little set piece areas that they'll never really direct you towards that have something interesting about them. I doubt there will be a *ton* of them, but they'll be some.

Bethesda's also pretty good at telling tiny stories with the clutter they place in the world. Last time I was playing Fallout 3 I found a motorcycle and duffel-bag at the top of a cliff, containing a Chinese pistol and a suicide note leaving it to a little brother. There was a skeleton at the bottom of the cliff

Yeah, when you put it like that it's fair. I still don't think any native speaker would respond to "I work for a newspaper" with "I hate newspapers", though. Even "I hate the news" feels more right. I know I'm nitpicking but it's just funny that literally every new piece of media Bethesda releases (barring the SPECIAL shorts, which are not my style but well-made and cute, and "The Wanderer" trailer) makes the game look worse and worse

It is rude and stupid but then again maybe that's what you want your character to be, rude and stupid. It's might lack a bit of subtly but it's a game not real life. Conversations in plays, books, comics, movies, media in general normally lack a bit of subtly you'd find in real life. Them's the breaks when you are trying to fit what would normally be a half an hour long chit chat into 60 seconds of dialogue. I think you are being a bit melodramatic.

Selecting the HATE NEWSPAPERS option causes the player character to go into a two-hour rant about how all the media is just a joke, man, and how you gotta learn for yourself, man, and how both parties are the same and that's why he voted for Ralph Nader in 2000 and doesn't regret it.

So are we implying that Piper is loose because her vag resembles a baseball stadium now? Is that why she wants to see you in her office later with a sultry flutter?

Two words: Little Lamplight. Other than that, the kids weren't really all that bad. A bit grating in the cities if you talked to them to find out about the place, but those were at least optional. And FO3 at least had a separate model, or at least NPC size, for adolescents. Comparing the voices to a dentist drill was about right. The kids were either high pitched whine, or a slow and dopey "mommy just gave me a shot of rad-roach hootch to make me shut up".

Caesar was knee deep in a stream washing vegetables. Coming up to him, John Fallout said, “My good Caesar, if you knew how to pay court to kings, you wouldn’t have to wash vegetables.” “And,” replied Caesar, “If you knew how to wash vegetables, you wouldn’t have to pay court to kings.”
