» Thu Nov 26, 2015 11:18 pm Dear people responsible for making Fallout 3 and 4.
First of all, I would just like to say, I am a huge fan of both the Elder Scrolls and Fallout series and have been playing them for years.
I appreciate the hard work and passion that you as a team put into making these games. From what I have experienced playing these games, I can really feel how you guys have put your heart and soul into it.
As a huge fan of Bethesda's games, you can imagine how excited I was when you announced the new Fallout 4. I could barely hold back my tears of joy when I watched the trailer for the first time at midnight when it released over here in Australia.
As the game was announced, of course inevitably everyone had an opinion to offer and put in their two cents, youtubers were at it making videos and constructing theories from what little evidence they and everyone else had.
I think that what sets Fallout 3 apart from other games, is the in-depth story, lore, characters and world. Every nook and cranny has it's own story to tell and I just loved finding out more and more about this peculiar wasteland that you had created, I was completely immersed.
Recently, people have been complaining about the graphics and that they thought the trailer did not showcase anything that was much of "an improvement from Fallout 3". A Fallout game does not need incredibly detailed graphics in order to fulfill it's purpose, to be an entertaining and immersive video game. You guys already know this, and I don't want to come across as anything negative, but I really think people who spread stuff like this and media overall just need to be ignored, you guys know what to do, you're the artists, not them. Games that boast extremely detailed graphics and fancy particle effects before release nearly always end up dissapointing because they get lost in the details and never end up coming out as a whole, rounded game and experience, but instead feel wrong overall. It's almost as if they are trying to sell us on the engine the game was made on, and not the game itself.
For an open-world game in today's generation and the amount of detail a Fallout game would have, from what I've seen in the uncompressed trailer, looks amazing, and as long as you guys stick to what made Fallout 3, New Vegas, Oblivion and Skyrim such awesome experiences, you won't go wrong as long as you stick to what's in your hearts, and what has been in it for years.
I know you guys wouldn't do such a thing, and it could even come across as disrespectful that I even barely consider that you could do this, but please do not let the corruption and greed of modern society influence this game series in any way possible. I am confident that Bethesda is the hero that modern gaming needs, show video game companies like Ubisoft and EA what gaming really means, set yourself even more apart from these corporations by proving that there is still hope in the gaming world and that Bethesda is the one that stays strong, resists the demands of those who do not know any better, and makes a game that will be talked about for years after it's release, yet again.
Thank-you for taking the time to read this.
