Give your character a break. It's the first time in his life he's walked into a bar and asked for information on someone. Not like he's a trained PI or something.

Maybe it should've been a low intelligence response.

Short and simple answer, Bethesda can't even write a children's story.

Go back to FoNV, ive seen you post there all you do is rip fallout 3. I am glad i didnt waste my money on NV if anything i hope FoNV is the first and last time we see Obsidian around here.

So? It seems to be working both ways judging by your posts too. :whisper:

Video games, in general, are not known for having incredible dialogue in general...but anyone who thinks that line is really bad has never played, oh, Final Fantasy 7...or 8...or 10.

I agree with a previous poster, the line reflects the Wanderer's ignorance about the Capital Wasteland and how to look for someone. Considering the frequent references to the Wanderer's "strong resemblance" to his/her father. It may have been phrased differently but I didn't think so hard about it until I read this thread, hahaha.

This makes sense assuming the player doesn't wander around for a few days or maybe a week before walking into the bar. When I make a new character I usually just wander around for awhile before I start on the mainquest. So it could be a few weeks before I even start looking.

Normal Line. Give Lone Wanderer a break it was his first moments on the outside and he had a hard day.

Luckily for me, things like this bothers me very little in a game. I consider all the Fallout games up at the top of my favourite games along with anything made by Blizzard and Arcanum (and probably ff7 for psx). I would never ignore a perfectly great game because of a silly line. Actually, I'm pretty sure there's plenty of silly lines or atleast lines that could've been better, in most games if you look close enough

Recently played some resident evil 4 with my sister and I must say that both story and everything we fight is right-out ridicilous and unrealistic and yet, we still enjoy the game

Stopped playing the game... because of one line of dialog. Interesting.

This makes me question myself: have I ever bought a game just for the dialog? And I can answer that question without a moment's hesitation: nope. Have I ever stopped playing a game because of the dialog? Nope. Have I ever been disappointed by dialog in a video game? Sure.

But

I'm happy that I haven't seen Engrish localization in years. "All your base are belong to us!"
