Bethesda can't do it. They don't have the skill to make a decent story anymore.

Isn't that what resurrection is about? Rework graphics, keep the game (including story)?

Nah I’m with the guy above, I’m sure they’ll find a way to fuck this up

They'd meddle. Like with the tv show, where they nuked the capital of the NCR four years before new vegas. Problem is that the president of the NCR flies into New Vegas in the game from Shady Sands, so Shady Sands could not have been nuked.

Considering how bad Bethesda is at understanding the concept of time I wouldn't be surprised if the actual dates on events end up saying the bombs dropped before New Vegas. This is Bethesda after all, they literally had a plot twist around a person aging and to hide that twist they just made it so that another person didn't age.

It was a good story, canon be damned. But yes, it cheapens the franchise if there is no consistency at all between universes.

I mean, they might if they just fucking fired Todd Howard. He's rapidly turning into Peter Molyneux and he needs to just go away.

Him and the lead writer, the Bethesda old guard have gotten really complacent.

I wonder if you guys even mean these things or just parroting the same anti bathesda threads over and over

[–] yamanii@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Did you play Fallout 4 and Starfield?

[–] dandroid@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago

I have played both, and I enjoyed both.

If they changed the story even a little bit, it wouldn’t be the D2:R treatment. D2:R is literally the exact same game with better graphics, and the option to swap back to the OG graphics at any time.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

seriously where are these people coming from thinking the story would change? hell, why even fucking change anything? takes more time and work to change things.
