Stronger Story better writing mistake

Post » Thu Jun 16, 2011 3:16 am

I think we were wrong about the writing not having emotional draw. I have been thinking about this for some time now. What could bring more emotion to Bethesda? Well at first I thought well maybe the writing isn’t good enough. Then it occurred to me, I loved the story in fallout 3. Liam Neeson did a wonderful job and Sean Bean did a great job as Martin Septim. So if the voice acting is good enough it can draw you in a little. But that isn’t enough as humans we need to see some emotion on someone’s face. A tear has not been seen yet in Bethesda games. I would like to see this. Better facial expressions and tears. Right now emotions tend to be somewhat random.

So I suggest this, a high number of talented voice actors to keep it fresh with realistic facial reactions and body language.

What do you think could be done to remedy this problem if you even think there is a problem in fallout 4?

Fallout 4 is pretty much getting a new engine, so I gotta say yes, expect some facial expression badassery. :dance:

Also, Liam Neeson did a good job on the character. But in my opinion the whole "melodrama" wasn't really *that* emotional for me. :shrug:

Well imagine your tasked with making a feasible post apocalyptic story. It isn't easy to craft. I feel like they certainly did a good job.

I do. I actually felt more emotion with the NV companions such as Rose of Sharon Cassidy and Craig Boone. :shrug:
Hell, even the old geezer John Cassidy in Fallout 2. :flamethrower:

It's really subjective after all. The not-so-good writing and cheap plot(holes) pretty much killed the whole daddy stuff for me and I literally eyerolled when the big moment in the Purifier happened. :shrug:

But the game is still great, don't get me wrong.
