wiegieman posted:That would require Bethesda to acknowledge that Obsidian made a better Fallout game than they could. Though it should be noted that Obsidian had a pretty huge head start by having the base game features built for them, so they could focus more on the story and setting design that they're known for. They also had a lot more to draw upon by placing it on the west coast. e: ...The reduced dev time does partly offset that, of course.

Really, it just comes down to management stupidity. Bethesda/Zenimax was cool with giving Obsidian 2 whole years to make the game, but Obsidian's higher ups said "nah, give us less time AND bonuses if the Metacritic score is 85". BGS gave Obsidian all the assets and resources they needed. Obsidian still made more assets, though, so it wasn't a complete recycling project. It was a completely symbiotic relationship between the two (Obsidian gets noticed by the games industry again in a big way, and Bethesda gets another game out the gate while Skyrim is being developed), but corporate greed and pride got in the way of quality.

PurpleXVI posted:This may also be down to your armor. Some armor marks you automatically as a member of a faction, so unless you do something hostile while wearing it, they'll think you're one of them... and so will their enemies. So if you were wearing certain types of NCR armor, that might have gotten Caesar's goons to shoot on sight. I bet that was it, now that I think about it I wore an NCR sniper beret for most of the game. I didn’t get the “you are dressed as the NCR” message so I didn’t think it would cause an issue, but I guess it did! SchrodingersFish fucked around with this message at 18:47 on Oct 13, 2018 |

Yeah, in particular this quest always gets me a hilarious bug where the dead hooker isn't actually dead. You go in there and she just kind of strolls out with generic dialogue, but you can still examine the table and get the "Signs of a horrible murder" thing.

Good thing is you can follow him out of the hotel and into freeside where he's promptly executed for not being rich enough by the security bots.

Heir03 posted:Is this something that can be spoiled or no? I'm curious. Basically, the only reason you need to be granted membership of the White Glove Society is if you want to expose Mortimer's scheme as he's executing it, siding with Marjorie. Otherwise, you are just a really friendly person who just helped him out with his plan. And even then, for that branch of the quest, it's completely optional and requires you to at least be Liked by the Strip.

There is Xander Root Soup though, and Xander Root is only from New Vegas. It's also got Nuka Quartz which was introduced in New Vegas even if it was also used in FO4's DLC. There is no conspiracy to wipe New Vegas away. I would guess instead it's just far more likely that the people who made this cookbook and suggested recipes are all people from Bethesda, and it should not be surprising that they are more familiar with their own work than they are with that of others.
