Bethesda Softworks

I was genuinely tweaking out getting more AAA games of franchises that are still alive to Fallout… For 2030…

That’s 15 years from a main game from the franchise, and no, Fallout 76 isn’t a main game. (It problaby is but not gonna count it lol)

Not even Rockstar dared to make us wait so damn much, matter of fact, I think this might be the longest wait from a game to another in the time I’ve played. (That is if Valve decides to release HL3 or Portal 3)

Fuck you bethesda for doing so many dumb and mid shit nowadays.

And I swear that if the game is somewhere so damn mid or it’s just disappointing since we, Fallout fans dont have high expectations from Bethesda, and yet, we get disappointed often. (Very often.) “I wasn’t expecting anything and yet you guys disappointed me, wow.”

PLEASE release something good and playable, even if it has a lot of bugs since it’s bethesda and it’s gonna crash.

Like to see titles in California (North or South, doesn’t really matter), Colorado, Missouri (St. Louis i love you so much please don’t ever stop having 1927 uh comic gangster cool ass cats)

Without all my yap of begging for a new fallout soon, (I know that eventually I will end up playing Fallout 76 💔💔💔💔💔)

Anyways, what are your thoughts in the agenda?

What locations would you like to see and what other aspects of Fallout to return/redifine and/or change? (Such a mix between two different mechanics)

Though Fallout 5 may be a ways away, I'd still love to see Obsidian's writing and player choice paired with Bethesda's gunplay and quirky characters. And though I don't know the full story, I know that there was bad blood between the two studios. Also, Xbox is putting way too much pressure of Bethesda to deliver with their IP's. So, is there anyway we can rekindle that old bond, or is it dead and done?

Dear Bethesda I would love to know how I can take my junk in Fallout4 and place it around my home to make it all homely with crockery, cutlery, toys etc. But I can't in Fallout76 why? Why...why...why?!

I'd honestly forgotten this was a thing. *Shakes fist at Bethesda* ✊🏼

In the unlikely chance that Bethesda and the mighty Todd make a remastered version of the first two games, would you buy it? The game’s story is the same but it has Wasteland 3 graphics instead of pixels and of course still has that harsh learning curve.

Well, the Xbox one and Xbox Series X|S will get more exclusive games besides Forza and Sea of Thieves, not to mention that the conglomerate known as Zenimax Media will go bye-bye thanks to this turn of events. Oh, and Id Software is of course also part of the Xbox family seeing as they have been part of Bethesda since 2009. What will this mean for the Fallout Franchise, overall?

Don’t know if this has been brought up. But i for one am happy about this because Microsoft also happens to own a little game studio called Obsidion Entertainment. I feel we could have a real case here of the next fallout game being produced by Obsidion as Microsoft has rights over all assets and creative titles of Bethesda meaning Microsoft could decide to give the IP to Obsidion to work on. Just a thought but it gives me hope.

Off-topic, just a quick question really. Exact address if possible. Where was the original office headquarters of Bethesda Softworks and Bethesda Game Studios before they relocated to Rockville, Maryland? Please include in a reply. Many thanks in advance. Why am I asking? It’s for my game studios map showcasing the old locations and the new locations of the game studios.

Also, it didn’t mention the company address on the Bethesda Ruins page here on Nukapedia.

Bethesda recently (A month ago, more or less) put up a teaser and a trailer for fallout 5. Does anyone know if they're real or not? (And if so, what do you hope they put in Fallout 5? location, story, etc.)

I need help. I just spent hours looking at every single random encounter location for any of the merchants. I didn’t find them. I only have Anne Hargraves and the Vault-Tec Representative at my settlements that actually do their job. I also have Trader Rylee, but she disappears. I have to spawn another one. On all the expert merchants pages, I’ve read that they either refuse to join my settlement, saying “I’m confused,” “You’re not making any sense,” or “I must have misheard you.” I am on PC. I’m sick of looking for them. On the bugs part of their articles, it tells me that Automatron apparently causes them to either stop spawning or to spawn near Rust Devils. So, someone tell me how to A. Get them to be able to be commanded and stay at their stores and B. Get Trader Rylee to stop disappearing!

“All of this just works.”

Just a funny in-house joke really, Bethesda realised how similar the Railroad is to Skyrims Thieves Guild. Both steal(Synths count as thievery), Both live underground, both have influenced store owners(Old Man Stockton), both don't use any heavy armor(Thieves Guild uses Light Armor only, and Railroad uses armored clothes, not actual armor.), And both even have a group of secret code signals that can indicate danger, secret caches and more.

So of course your Safehouse is named after the leader of the Thieves Guild XD.

There might be even more similarities but I'm still trying to think of them.

Edit: The Railroads article does mention this similarity, and cites both having an agent named Maven as an example. However.. Maven Black-Briar in Skyrim isn't actually a Thieves Guild member. She is a client that hires the Thieves Guild, and the Dark Brotherhood, to do her dirty work. And she has a lot of dirty work to do.

Have any of you had the Ounce of Prevention glitch gone? Or completed the quest while this glitch was happening? I’ve checked with Bethesda to get a ticket but they said they where working on it. I can’t do the main quest line because of this damn thing.

After the dumpster fire that was fallout 76, where do you think the new fallout game will take place? They obviously have to do quite a bit of work, but I'm interested to see where they go. I'd love to see a fallout game set in Georgia or Florida, with the FEV jungles and stuff.

Nothing is forever.

The Curse of Being a Fan.

Andropov, the franchises that abandoned him and the sorrow of caring.

I got into Fallout in 2011, very late compared to when I got into TES and GTA. I played Fallout 3 in 2011 and beat it before Skyrim came out. Then I played Fallout 1 and beat that, then I played Fallout 2 and it just wasn’t for me, I quit until I saw the trailer for Fallout 4 and bought New vegas in early 2015 and beat it, then again, then again, then 4 more times. Then I played Fallout 4 and beat it 3 times. Late 2016 comes around and I play Fallout 2 again and then I quit and played Fallout: New Vegas again. Fallout New Vegas. Fallout 76 was a game I bought and played for 7 hours and I uninstalled it, nothing was awful, because I just wasn’t gripped into the world.

Grabbing The Player’s Attention.

Most games have a point that just slaps you really hard and immerses you, Examples: TES Oblivion has one of the most gripping first quests and into, Fallout 3 had me pulled out of a mother and I was hooked, Skyrim shot an arrow at a horse thief, GTA Vice City threw guns and drugs at me and showed me the murderous ways of gangs and drug dealing in the first cutscene. Daggerfall opened with a gripping mystery. Fallout 1 opened with a man with a very stylish beard and my first thought was “this is going to be good and that man is going to betray me.” GTA 4 blurred the lines of morality, immigration, politics, the legal system, culture, ideology, and showed how dark and gritty the darkest parts of the US can be. Some fames grip you better than others, the older I get the less I can get sucked into games if the intro doesn’t grip me.

New Vegas is an odd ball because the Mojave gripped me right away for some reason and I didn’t think it was as gripping as Fallout 3 or as good until about my 3rd run of the game. Yes, I said New Vegas was not my favorite Fallout until I beat it 3 times and then kept replaying it and it just got better. New Vegas and Oblivion are the two games that get better each new game. It crazy how giving a game another go at it can sometimes be better than the first and then the second.

Fallout Series Number of Play-Throughs Completing The Main Quest, Also at least 40 percent of the side quests.

Fallout 1: 6

Fallout 2: 0, I’ll give it another try in a bit. This game is only fun for me in the city New Reno and Vault City is confusing to me.

Fallout 3: 1 time on Normal, 3 times on Hard, 4 times on Very Hard.

Fallout: New Vegas: 2 times on Hard, 2 times on Survival Very Hard, 11 times on Very Hard. This is the only Fallout that I’ve beaten all the side-quests for.

Fallout 4: 2 Hard, 2 Very Hard, 1 game so modded it wasn’t the game.

Andropov’s Summary

2011-Today, I’m still a Fallout fan.

2003-2016, Conflicting Elder Scrolls Fan and after 2016 with all of the focus on ESO and Remaking Skyrim leading to new fans hating on old fans and lore being dragged and spat on left and right Andropov is not an Elder Scrolls Fan, instead he’s a washed up pre-Skyrim The Elder Scrolls fan. I’m basically a fan of Oblivion, Daggerfall, and Battlespire. I liked a little bit of Skyrim until the Dragonborn DLC and the rerelease onto new consoles with new fans so different from old fans it’s astonishingly horrific combined with Skyrim already not making sense in the 2011 in terms of the lore. All of that alienated me and could happen to Fallout one day.

GTA: 2003-?, GTA has always been quality in terms of the main single-player experience. For me though I’m seeing signs I don’t like and this isn’t reflecting quality, just my taste and willingness for change. GTA: Vice City Hooked me, then I played the ones before and I was happy with them.

San Andreas came out and I didn’t like anything about it except the gameplay, I don’t understand 90’s LA California and it’s fairly ugly and I don’t mean gritty. The lear act of the game really did it a favor because San Diego is awesome in GTA, probably in real life too. The last act saved the game for me and it’s overall pretty good, just not my favorite.

I played all the PSP games and they were great, not much to say.

GTA 4... This game changed everything. It was gritty and everything was black and white. Sure there all bad, but some are worse and other are doing bad to do some good in a selfish way, but to make your cousin’s life easier and your own. Nothing was bad about this game, except the PC port. The game took itself seriously and didn’t treat the player like they were an idiot who could never pass a tutorial. Niko, the Serbian immigrant, was thrown in New York and later travels off to New Jersey. The game was dark and didn’t ruin serious moments with a childish insult or stupid bickering, it took itself seriously and I liked that.

GTA 5: Oh, no. I was so hyped for this game and the story didn’t take itself seriously at all. Niko was a poor ex-communist Eastern European Serbian soldier that fought in the Yugoslav Wars which collapsed and went into a civil war. He came to America on a boat illegally with love for his cousin and the hope for better life with a little less death, he was good and killing, he wasn’t a good person, but he had a heart of gold under the darkness of his passed and the violence in the present.

GTA 5 was a story about 2 unlikable people and one mislead kid dragged into crime and then later on loses his character and all his morals. This game goes out of its way to make everything a joke and everything is gross and wacky because fun is crazy and crazy is fun. Unlikable redneck that’s not funny because he’s clearly suffering from extreme mental issues, Sort of well off dad who has an awful relationship with his family. Finally, a young guy from the hood who starts off strong and by the 2nd act is basically different character. Nothing makes sense, everything is a joke, and the comedy is lazy, forced, and delivered at the wrong time.

Then the online... That’s not worth talking about.

These were the ramblings of a Ukrainian who is disappointed about the alienation of most of the media he loved. Hold onto your series tightly, but remember there may be a day when it’s not.

I’ll leave you with a question. Would you rather Fallout die on a high note the next game or two or be dragged out until it’s not Fallout and you’re no longer relevant to the target demographic and are completely separated in ideas with the new thing.

In Loving Memory of The Great People Behind The Media I, and probably you, Loved and These Artists Created. They’re not dead. These people ended up being fired, left, or not in the picture anymore.
