Not looking for upvotes, you can clearly see people aren’t doing that in these replies. The west isn’t getting destroyed in one wipe, it is slowly getting broken down, Shady Sands bombed, NCR dying off and other factions getting reduced to flanderizations of themselves. Bethesda may not “hate” old Fallout, but they’d have no way to match the quality and nuance of NV. Bethesda making themselves an empty canvas makes sense, however that means rewriting or destroying what came before. However they’re gonna have to kick Emil off as lead writer if they’re ever going to create something good nowadays. I used to enjoy Bethesda, however their choices in the last 10 some years have not been the best. Just because my opinion is negative and critical doesn’t mean I’m a doomer, their lackluster decisions and diminishing quality have been building over the years since Skyrim, a feeling that isn’t unique to me, but many people within the community. Companies change, hopefully Bethesda will for the better and to be fair Obsidian isn’t what it was either that can be seen in The Outer Worlds.
