The real problem I have with it is the deep-seated fear that it's being pushed as a spiritual successor to the original Fallout games (because it does have more of the original Fallout developers working on it than any of the Bethesda games ever have), but it might feel like TOO much of a throwback to those games, without the advances made in gaming since then. It's the same problem I have with Pillars of Eternity. I really loved the Baldur's Gate games at the time they were released, but the exact same game with a less-interesting setting released 20 years later feels far more obsolete and nowhere near as worthwhile. I want something that takes the good things and expands on them, not something which desperately clings to ALL of the old out of an obsessive sense of misguided nostalgia. We've only seen a short early preview of gameplay, but the dialogue it in felt a bit dry and clunky - and Obsidian's already said there's definitely no flirting/romance (because they've openly admitted they hate the idea of Bioware-style NPC relationships in the past). Which makes me worry about whether they'll actually manage to make me care about any of these characters or the story in any way. If goofy zeerust weirdness is all they really have to sell themselves on, it's going to be a huge disappointment. But I'm not dismissing it completely out of hand yet. I'm willing to see what they have to offer once we get closer to release. But my paranoia is strong. WastelandCowboy posted... Excited for Cyberpunk 2077, but I seriouusly doubt it'll come out in 2019. It's possible. There've been at least a few hints that it might manage to squeak in before 2019 ends, though it could easily get pushed back to 2020 or even later. I mostly only brought it up at all because it's the only other game I can even remotely think of that I know is in development that interests me in any way at all. For all that this year had multiple titles I found interesting, the next couple years are going to be pretty barren for me, I suspect. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:914475460] in What are y...
