Saved?

>>375983024
Yeah. Fallout 4 was meh but it did bring a few neat concepts to the table.

>>375983024
Have you not heard?
Bethesda obtained the Fallout IP in 04.
It has already been saved from irrelevance.

>>375983024
Nope, its fucked.

The only chance would be if Obsidian made another game like NV after 4 shit the bed. That isn't going to happen.

>>375983024
Nope, the games will never have that good mix of seriousness and zaniness that the old games had before they became too serious.

Why don't we just make our own fallout?

>>375983024
Yeah, you just need to press F5.

>>375983978
Same problem Obsidian has.
Too many idea guys and not enough talent to implement them.

Fallout ain't goin anywhere, the series is already saved.

>too serious
3 and 4 are way zanier than 1 and 2. The "serious" plots in the newer Bethesda titles are complete drivel, and completely shallow because they only exist to provide some half-baked reason for the player to stumble onto wacky wasteland shenanigans that don't make any sense. Compare the conversations with Lou Tenant or Myron with anyone from 3 or 4.

You may not like it but Bethesda did save Fallout, otherwise it would have forever been remember as an irrelevant game in the grander scheme of roleplaying games.

Now you can just turn your head and not acknowledge any of the new entries if you so wish and just keep playing the old games.

It is forever linked to reddit kiddies who giggle at all the memes. It can no longer be redeemed. RIP Fallout.

This
Fallout is just a bit more open borderlands now. Memes and all.

Saved from being too good? I'm afraid not.

If Fallout 4 wasn't so difficult to mod I'd like it a lot more, but I'm that guy that still plays Skyrim and New Vegas with 100+ mods each present day. The modding community puts out gems of content better than a lot of DLC these days, not doing everything you can to encourage this as a developer is suicidal. For PC anyways. Enter the console market, which Bethesda seems increasingly keen on catering to. Because they know console owners have no choice but to accept paid mods when they push them even harder in the next Fallout and Skyrim releases. It's looking like a grim future for both franchises. I could see them ending up more of a joke than COD.

It'll be alright. History has shown that new Fallouts with less content pave the way to another Fallout with a shitton of new content, as Fallout 1 begat Fallout 2 and Fallout 3 begat Fallout: New Vegas.
