Oh fuck off.

Just fuck right off. Look, I love fallout. But I would rather have Avowed and The Outer Worlds. I would rather have devs working on projects they WANT to work on, not forced to at gunpoint.

The time to capitalise on New Vegas, was fucking 15 years ago. You know, when the company was still entirely the same employees.

Microsoft laid off Ray Lederer.

He and Adam Adamowicz were the two primary concept artists for Skyrim and Ray did extensive concept work for Fallout 4 and Starfield and did work on Fallout 76 as well.

Ilya Nazarov (primary Fallout 4 concept artist) made a very good decision when he decided to move to a different company a while back.

I wish Ray the literal absolute best and I hope he quickly finds work with an employer who respects him (unlike Microsoft)

[falloutconceptart]

You can hand waive the firing of some middle managers as "increasing efficiency" but there is literally no reason to fire such an unbelievable and tenured artist like Ray Lederer other than Microsoft deciding he was too expensive to keep paying.

An even more insidious interpretation is that the concept work on TES VI is done (we know Ray was working on it as of early last year) and now that the concept art is finished Microsoft has no need of him anymore...

If they even replace his position they'll probably probably just contract a young, talented, and naïve artist who doesn't know their worth and will get grossly under-paid by Microsoft

[wildwildwasteland]

knowing they're only putting Obsidian on a Fallout sequel because of the Fallout show's success is the MOST monkey's paw ass way this could've happened

like yeah we all wanted another Obsidian Fallout for years but is there even the slightest chance that anyone can make good Fallout shit if it's jumping off this hyper marketable amazon tv show? like I'm still firmly in the camp of not wanting them to make anymore Fallout shit like stop pouring FEV juice on my boy he's already looking too large and scary and he keeps saying "quarterly targets"

I for one am dreading the idea that the Fallout Show will be canon

Life for the Lone Wanderer is so brutal and lonely. None of the companions can really become your friend or are interested in being such. Two of them are slaves and one is a robot you own. None of them show much genuine positive feeling towards you except maybe Butch, and he bullied you violently throughout your entire childhood. Even your Mr. Handy robot (should you get the house in Megaton) is constantly making comments on how annoyed it is with you under its breath, which it can’t really do cause it’s a robot so the insults are definitely audible. Your only family left you and will eventually die in front of you for a cause he deems more important than you.

Even people who are nice to you want something from you and will try to extort you for it. Even the good people like Three Dog or Victoria Watts or the kind people like Moira or the people of Oasis constantly asking you for things, dangerous things, difficult decisions, you can never really catch a break. You’re trying to people please and help and feel some sort of, any sort of, connection to anyone because you are so, so lonely, all while dealing with this horrible new world you’ve been unwillingly and traumatically thrust into plus the loss of everything and one you’ve ever known.

Even Amata rejects you in the end. I can’t imagine the absolute devastation of knowing that you will never be allowed back home and that you have lost everything, every friend, every relationship, and no one is interested in fostering new ones. 

There’s just nothing to cling onto for support, and did I mention throughout it all you are a 19 year old baby? Rough stuff

to fallout 4's immense discredit in the matter, its decision to mandatorily define all female player characters as lawyers who married a soldier puts it behind literal fallout 1 on "does the female character feel like you're the punchline to a joke"

[toskarin]

to elaborate on that a bit, it's actually toothgrittingly misogynistic that they contrived a scenario where there are two player characters and one of them was clearly conceptualised as The Wife of the Male Player Character, while the other was made as a character first. it's remarkable they managed to do that in a game with a character creator and no mechanical distinction between genders

game dev: we make deep, meaningful, games with real messages. we don’t want our games to be just mindless and feel good - we make games to say something about the world we live in

community: hey this bit seems to be kind of weirdly racist

game dev: actually we aren’t saying anything and our games are just for fun and there is absolutely no correlation between this and anything in the real world
