A story that begins as a basic search for your lost family evolves into something much more complex and morally nuanced

Cut your bullshit IGN pod people are not a revolutionary concept

crumbling high school with heads on pikes outside? I bet there’s great loot in there!

Ah so this is the mindset they adopt

These might be more general, jack-of-all-trades types than previous Fallout character builds, in that you generally don’t have any crippling deficiencies, but they definitely have their distinguishing features that’ll make one playthrough feel different from the next. And before you lament it as a “dumbing down” of Fallout’s overall complexity, turn your eye to the new crafting and equipment progression system, which has picked up the slack by becoming vastly more complicated and interesting.

It's shit though

A fully voiced male or female protagonist is a first for Fallout, but I frankly don’t feel like it added much beyond the convenience of not having to read as much text when playing from the couch. It doesn’t get in the way, either - performances are fine, if somewhat bland - and would only be objectionable to me if I’d envisioned my character’s voice as something outlandishly different. So it’s successfully unobtrusive, at least.

Between this and how a huge chunk of the review between this and the last quote was about the shooting, I see the reviwer doesn't actually care about RPG elements outside of the perks that he admitted are dumbed-down and make jack of trade characters

Next they say the settlement system is just sort of there and basically irrelevant

And then somehow this becomes a 9.5/10: "Amazing." Like, WTF? Everything they actually write about besides the shooting they makesound alright at best or mediocre to bad.
