#multi: fallout

y’know... this whole bethesda thing with the bag could’ve easily been avoided with an announcement prior to (or even amidst) production.

i was talking about this earlier at work today with a coworker, but they could’ve put out an announcement saying the number of pre-orders exceeded expectations, and due to cost, the canvas bag will be replaced with a less expensive alternative. would this have still pissed people off? oh yes. but it would’ve covered their asses.

then they could have added a code for in-game credit to the CE for compensation which still would’ve been a cheap move but that would’ve been better than offering the equivalent of $5 after a mass outcry like this.

like, the PR management is the only thing that’s actually annoying me about this whole ordeal. i don’t care about the material switch since i forgot the CE even came with a bag and as i’ve said before, i’m enjoying the game. so it’s just like... yah could’ve dealt with this better, bethesda, and i’m mad about that.

i’m enjoying the hell out of fallout 76

which is completely unsurprising tbh given how i’ve typically played fallout since moving to pc. i focus mainly on exploration and screenshots as opposed to main story and combat, and 76 has been perfect for that.

like, last night i spent an hour trying to complete this treetop obstacle course just north of the new river gorge resort. i ended up giving up at the last obstacle because i didn’t want to waste too many stimpaks but it was fun.

this is why i prefer experiencing new things for myself instead of listening to other people’s comments. i would have missed out on something i’m really enjoying. (the same could be said for borderlands; it’s one of my favorite series and i very nearly missed out on that for the same reason — albeit to a much smaller scale of complaints lol)

so above we have:

row 1: a random screenshot that just looked nice imo. wish i could have my settings up higher but i need to upgrade my graphics card first. (texture’s on high, though. can’t take that away from me, todd.)

row 2: the first couple obstacles. the bridge was obviously not difficult lol but the platforms caught me a couple times initially :T

row 3: the last couple obstacles. it took me a number of tries to make it across those hanging logs. kept falling on the fourth jump. meanwhile, on the last obstacle i made it as far as the first post before rage quitting. it’s doable, but maaaan i was getting too frustrated to go on.

row 4: a handsome man looking smug in the trees ✌️
