i don't get what you're saying. we didn't murder the natives at quite the same level of the US, we more murdered their culture. our history is still pretty awful, of course. are you saying we ignore it, or that we're not taught it? idk

and the massacre at wounded knee is pretty america-specific, although it's of course common knowledge in Canada anyway

he also says the box says "wounded in the knee," which it clearly doesn't

Why are you trying to defend this crap lol. At least we aren't as bad as america...gahuck.

I feel like FO4 is completely lacking in interesting characters. FONV was chock full of them and at least 3 had the tree guy and ThreeDog and Moira and some others. FO4 feels like they mostly built a good sandbox but then didn't flesh out the inhabitants at all

like, why the gently caress aren't there quests for half of the companions? what's up with that radio tower with the show host you can't do anything with? why are there no quests about the mayor of diamond city? why bother making gunners and children of the atom a thing if they're no different than raiders? why can't I do anything with the Atom Cats??

i like that the mayor claims to be very busy and a very important person, and yet all he does in his office is sit in a chair, get up, and then sit down in another chair

he doesn't even have a terminal to type on for pretending to be busy

maybe, but all the previous fallout dlc doesn't touch the original world or story. they're all sandboxed.

even though there's a bunch of background and lore in poe and in hindsight there's actually a fair bit of unique and cool stuff, the whole just feels really boring and flat. the setting felt like the most generic poo poo even if it actually wasn't. idk why. the mechanics are cool though and it's pretty.

at first glance it might look this way, but the further you get the worse the writing gets. the combat is pretty good if what your looking for is more baldurs gate, though.

I don't think it will necessarily be a retail thing out the gate though; seems like it'd be like the steam hardware or TrackIR where you order it online.

I was a fan of the old rails shooter. There was one where you go into an alien spaceship / hive thing that was in the demo area of micro center for years and years, and it looked REALLY GOOD for it's time because it was all fmv off a cd-rom which allowed it to be ten times the size of the next game
