Why did Bethesda go full retard with the slight 40/50s themes for the originals? Also, why do they keep adding supernatural shit? Fallout 76 especially has a lot.

Why are you playing any of that trash?

Bethesda is a good example of bringing along new writers to a long-running show and all characters (themes) end up becoming caricatures of themselves. They may be fans of it, but they missed the mark on what made them SO good.
At least for Bethesda one thing they did right was make caps the mainstay currency for the series
Chase King
because they're creatively bankrupt retards who want to turn it into a theme park ride and they exaggerate those themes in attempt to mask their inability to write anything decent
Levi Hughes
I couldn't tell you what happened in 4/76.
Fallout 3 was okay though.

No. This is fucking stupid. Caps had already been phased out by Fallout 2. It's too a weird coincidence that they're used as currency in other parts of the US. Even in New Vegas it's odd. I get that it can be justified with them being easy to identify genuine and counterfeit caps, but without a backing from something with more tangible value, caps should be worthless. In Fallout 1 the caps were backed by the (((water merchants))) so the value of caps was legitimized by the value of water. In Fallout 2, the NCR dollar was backed by the gold reserves held by the NCR. The BoS Destroyed their gold mines, so by New Vegas, NCR dollar isn't a respected currency outside of New Cali anymore. No such thought is ever put into why caps are the currency outside of the original game.

exactly this because they even removed the killing of kids in 1 and 2 on Steam

Bethesda really leaned in on what made the series popular to begin with, and made them center stage.
Think of the 50s style neo-futurist aesthetic. In the first two games, it was distinctly a thing of the past, and is barely there in the events of the game.
When you think of Fallout, what comes to mind? Is it the various political conflicts taking place after the war, or is it the war itself, and the pre-war world?
Black Isle nearly wasted an amazing concept like that, and I'm glad that Bethesda knows what to do with the games in theory (I say in theory because execution has been mixed.)

umm gaming is a safespace now sweaty

I can almost headcanon caps in Fallout 4 because if you're playing that game correctly then you are the water merchant in that game and the entire economy is based on whatever you say because you're producing impossible amounts of clean water.

>theme park ride
it is funny that it mostly comes off that way, since TES is the opposite.
Eli Perez
F3, 4 and 76 feels like corporate bullshit that eats you soul, I wasn't bothered by fallout 3 being the first attempt but man it was retarded when they ignored Tactics to appeal more to the gayming community.

Wasteland but with very mild 50s themes, not shoved in your fucking face like FO4.
Nathan Cox
I hate Fallout 4 so much, it's unreal.

garbage

I guess it could kind of make sense in the Mojave as with so many different currencies floating around, caps are the only one not maintained and produced by a single warring faction, and could very well somehow have a concrete exchange rate to clean water again except instead of the Cali water merchants it's House.
Aiden Nguyen
same, mr. cat, same
Dominic Moore
Yeah I would be totally fine with this. But as far as I know it's not explained in any way outside of Alice McLampshade's bullshit.

There will never be a game so KINO like Fallout3
New Vegas ruined forever the concpet of Fallout from the dark horror exploration instead now everyone think is a game of forced politics where everyone are all fanatics.

Bethesda's design choices made it into one of the biggest IPs in gaming. Their writing sucks, sure, but their worldbuilding is great. Cant knock them for that.

FO3 was Bethesda being scared of changing much. FO4 is them going full retard as originally intended.
Angel Watson
