I think any rerelease of 3/NV would require more work than Skyrim both because the tech is that much more ancient and the games are hideous. Skyrim was a huge step up in presentation for Bethesda. Which is why I think a remaster is unlikely.

I agree. They plopped a vague (potentially misleading) teaser two weeks before releasing any specific information. The rumors are leading to pessimistic speculation, but they set themselves up for this themselves.

I'm probably not touching an MMO-like, but optional co op would be fine. I was honestly a bit surprised 4 didn't feature an attempt at adding co op.

I didn't like the perk system either. Perks are cool when they add quirks and powerful effects to your character, not when they're used for mundane leveling.

jfood posted:gonna say it, I am excited. excited for those first ten to fifteen hours where it's loving amazing and the best thing ever, don't lie. won't so much enjoy the following ten where it tails off into aggressive mediocrity and then never finish it. I'm also excited about the next however many hours I spend beating the poo poo out of it with mods and being a murderhobo who avoids anything resembling plot. There's some very unsubstantiated rumors that it won't run player mods. Unsubstantiated, but that would make sense for a game with a multiplayer component (also a rumour but from a much more reliable source).

Now I dont know what eso was at launch but I started playing january this year and have stacked way more hours on it than skyrim. The size and variability on scenery is amazing compared to skyrim where every dungeon is either copypaste mine/draugr/dwarven ruin. You don't find the massively multiplayer bit immersion breaking?

Wouldn't they go the Skyrim SE route for Creation Club implementation? There's no way you can just graft that onto a buggy decade old game without major major issues.

Liquid Communism posted:the sole reason the game is remotely successful long-term is full-conversion level mods. That seems like an absurd statement about a game model that exploded in popularity with the advent of HD consoles (notably, unmoddable). Whatever else might be wrong with creation club mods, their prices are insane.

ZombieSupaStar posted:Did anyone ever ask Todd why Fallout 4 has like 4 skill checks in the whole main game? I could see them not bothering, but to barely include any? Did they run out time? Take a look at new Vegas’s bugs and noped out? Forgot to send the memo to the one designer who did them? iirc, in interviews he's admitted that was one of the things they screwed up in FO4 and tried to address in Far Harbor

buglord posted:is there a way to make fallout 2 combat more enjoyable if I dislike turn based games in general? its aggressively bad and playing this poo poo is a nightmare so far. Your skills might suck. FO1/2 are turn based but they're not very tactical. Winning combat is usually just a question of having the right gear/skills (cheesy exploits notwithstanding). You're going to have a bad time if your build's bad.

ThisIsNoZaku posted:Is there any proof of "bad blood" other than people online asserting that because New Vegas was better than 3, Bethesda must be super jealous? Not really. Presumably it's mostly based on Obsidian being shafted out of a bonus by missing their Metacritic target by 1 point, but, at least publicly, Obsidian and multiple devs have said their relationship is amicable and they'd happily work on another Fallout (duh)

Because Obsidian is really good at making games, but SUPER bad at managing money (a trait that is unfortunately common among many game developers)? No, Interplay sold the rights to Bethesda. Obsidian was founded by Interplay exiles. Obsidian never had the rights to Fallout.

cargohills posted:The secret with the old Fallout games, as is the case with almost all "classic" RPGs, is that they aren't actually very fun to play. Nah. There's always a hump, sometimes insurmountable, but it's often worth it if you manage to acclimatize yourself to the standards (or lack thereof) of a bygone era.
