Because it has everything an RPG should have? You have Special, perks, choices in dialogue and quests, multiple endings, and all of that
Just because they took away skills and gave the character a voice doesn't stop it from being an RPG
Imo Fallout 4 is a much more RPG than Fallout 3, Lone Survivor is a much less defined character than Lone Wanderer despite having a voice

Todd's favorite game is ultima, the theory is that he keeps trying to make his games closer and closer to it. That or todd is always trying to simplify games. At first it wasn't too bad, you went from morrowinds complexity to oblivion. Fallout 2 to fallout 3. But then it was skyrim which was significantly dumbed down compared to oblivion, and then fallout 4 which barely even had choice. No idea about starfield, never played it.

skill system in tandem with the perk system, weapon repair, stat and skill checks in dialogue fallout 4 has this too but to a lesser degree. Non-voiced protagonist, the ability to have more than 4 dialogue choices on the screen as base. Less of a focus on base building and world building which bethesda did themselves.

What exactly does fallout 3 have that fallout 4's system doesn't have?
>weapon repair
Everyone loves it so much that they just take the perk which basically removes the need to think about repairs altogether
>stat and skill checks in dialogue fallout 4 has this too
Fallout 3 only has speech and barter checks if I remember correctly, basically the same thing as Fallout 4
>Non-voiced protagonist
Fallout 3 protagonist is much more defined than Lone Survivor despite the voice acting
>the ability to have more than 4 dialogue choices on the screen as base
And how often does it happen? With few exceptions, Fallout 3 has fewer different dialogue choices or they're just spread across different options. Instead of having an β€˜ask more’ button you have three different buttons that essentially do the same thing, such a big difference
>Less of a focus on base building and world building which bethesda did themselves
And somehow Fallout 3 has about as many proper settlements as Fallout 4 does

To start with Fallout 3 modding is dead, all worthwhile mods go to NV and TTW. And while NV has very impressive mods it also has limitations. I say both games have worthwhile mods

Do you think people don't notice you acting like a retard on purpose to avoid a basic point? Or when you try to pretend fallout 4's dialogue is anywhere near comparable to fallout 1 or 2?

dont confuse interplays mismanagement and stunningly incompetent owner with fallout being some sort of failure for them. pieces of what would have been black isles F3 (van buren), when interplay got around to finally financing its development, got resurrected in new vegas by the same people.

Fallout 3 has very few skill checks and it is limited to speech and barter, essentially the same as Fallout 4
>skills & perks in fallout 3 as opposed to fallout 4's perks alone
The form has changed, but content remains the same. All the effects of skills just moved to separate perks, in practice the whole system is essentially the same
>weapon repair
Valid point but nobody liked repairing guns
>less of a focus on base building and more of a focus on world building
These are just broad statements. Fallout 4 has no focus on building, you can pretty much avoid it completely without losing anything
>more dialogue choice options in comparison to fallout 4's base choices
But that's just not true. Fallout 3 has pretty few choices and often they are paraphrases of the same thing or something that can be put into one option. I mentioned this above, instead of having β€˜tell me more’ option you have three different questions and there's essentially no difference here. It's not bad or good, it's just different
>Do you think people don't notice you acting like a retard on purpose to avoid a basic point?
Such as?
>Or when you try to pretend fallout 4's dialogue is anywhere near comparable to fallout 1 or 2?
It was a joke. You're literally criticising Fallout 4 for all the same problems Fallout 1/2 had
>Again, there's a reason why everyone stopped talking to you, and no its not because you're just that good at debating or your argument is ironclad.
It looks like you just don't want to even question the validity of your opinion. I've already responded to all these arguments from above and it was just ignored
I'd understood this if you were comparing it to New Vegas, which is actually good but Fallout 3 is literally the same as Fallout 4 but much worse

There are mods that change or add to the story.
Alternate start gives you the option to be a random dude and completely remove son story but it doesn't work well with other mods. There's a high quality Enclave faction mod. And finally there's SS2 which adds a separate storyline parallel to the main game and it adds too much to cover
As for the RPG system there is a mod that adds Skyrim system, there is a mod that adds NV system, there is a mod that changes the F4 system to be a bit more like NV but still being similar to Fallout 4 and probably something else that I'm forgetting about. There is also a mod that removes the character voice and adds new lines and skill checks throughout the game
There are mods out there expanding the survival system and even trying to turn it into le tarkov but the vanilla survival mod works well enough. I just mention that there are mods like MAIM that literally try to turn the game into Tarkov but imo it's not worth it and you're better off just playing stalker or tarkov.
>>716210341
It's literally the most complex quest in NV and I still don't understand how it works. I'm pretty sure half of these options just don't work for one reason or another

It's clear that Bethesda thought that Fallout 4's lack of RPG systems was a huge misstep because Starfield brought in many deeper richer RPG systems and improved upon them.

That was the intention and there was cut voice lines from the main guy Tommy.
It got cut, nobody knows why but probably to make the deadline, but I imagine they wanted to keep Cait so they made it a raider encounter.

Fallout 4 has as much if not more cut content than New Vegas and a huge chunk of that game got cut too.

Pic related, vault 120 the underwater vault that got cut too.

Why aren't I given the option making Cait an even worse addict so she will fight better ? Why aren't I given an option to make Nick forget about his past and be his own person rather than the memory of someone else. Why can't I convince curie that it would be better to remain a robot.

It's the stat and leveling system mainly. It's amazing what a more complex leveling system like Fallout 3/NV or Morrowind and Oblivions leveling system does to dress up non-RPGs, like betheada games. Fallout 4 and vanilla Skyrim is what you get when Bethesda stops pretending to be a RPG dev and focus instead on dungeon crawling and looter shooter design.

If you add mods to reintroduces New Vegas or Morrowind mechanics, Fallout 4 and Skyrim instantly feel like better RPGs than their predesessors. Of course, this requires extensive modding that few people will ever experience.

I loved settlement building.....
Now here's the but
But it was done perfectly by the real time settlement mods in fallout 3 and NV, and was one of those things that didn't need Bethesda to implement, because it didn't need any voice acting, didn't need to be related to the lore at all, and literally is just players headcanon both in fo4 And in 3 and NV.

They could've still added all the places that obviously designed around players settling with the flat open drive in btw for people to use the mod in anyways. Without making it a key part of the story or wasting time making it gameplay mechanics.

Just poor.
But I think it was also a business decision driven by the fact player settlements was supposed to be a much bigger deal in Starfield specifically and it was kind of a testing thing in fo4.

Then they fucked they anyways

I used that mod in Fallout 3 for setting up bases in the metro but that was freeform and additive to the whole experience. The basegame itself had no issues with finding a place to settle normally outside of the main settlements because there was a handful of potential safehouses dotted across the map that weren't subject to the respawning loot tables. My problem with Bethesda's version was it being relegated to set portions of the map, it took away potential locations and vendors that you could visit normally and for the most part you couldn't build them in interior cells out of the weather. If you know that a particularly autistic player is going to run your settlement minigame out to its absolute maximum you have no real incentive to make actual locations worthy of visiting when the vast majority simply won't get that far in the first place.

Yes, Baldurs Gate 3 exists and did well, but thats an outlier of the equation. If you take that away there's hardly any single player games that came out recently that have complexity.

And not only are they easier to sell to morons, they are also easier to make if you get rid of the complex. Think about how much work both coming up with the idea of multiple branching paths for one single quest, writing/recording the dialogue, and actually scripting and bug testing it is compared to "yes/sarcastic yes/don't progress" is.
Bethesda will never change. They want the big money. Maybe their next game will have slightly more quests that have 2 different outcomes. But they're never gonna be doing what New Vegas did. It's way easier to just accept they only wanna make money and not buy it unless you wanna eat the slop.

Fallout 4 is not a role-playing game for the simple fact that your character's skill is not the major determinant of success in most situations. Character skills help, but they are not the determining factor. You can also level your character until they acquire every perk in the game, meaning that specialization, or 'role', is negated and unimportant. You don't truly miss out on important, significant aspects of the game because of your character's role - for example, the game assumes that you will have both hack and lockpick as skills. Playing a different role should change how you approach the game significantly, and should provide different avenues of success. Choosing the equivalent of a blue, red, or green ending with the various factions is not the result of role, but of poor writing.

Keep in mind, role-playing refers to playing a character with a specialized capacity, not 'I make choices in the story'. The term has been diluted into being meaningless, because people think it means "I MAKE CHOICES IN A STORY". No.

They probably started development around 2012, when CRPGs were basically not a thing in the mainstream sense.
The higher-ups probably panicked, thought that RPGs were a dying genre, and decided to copy Mass Effect, and double down on the 'action' side of their action RPGs.

From a financial stand point, it wasn't a bad decision.
Making it less of an RPG might have made it more accessible to the average gamer, or even non-gamer.
Fallout 4 did make more money than any of the other Fallout games.

Long term though, it probably did way more damage by associating the IP with being sell-out garbage or not artistically compelling.
If Fallout 4 was more like Fallout 3, which mostly straddled that line successfully, the brand would likely be in a better place.

It's entirely based on how the UI is presented. I remember back in 2015 when everyone unironically insisted TW3 was a deeper RPG than FO4. How does a game with a set character, no builds, and like 3 skill checks in the entire game get praised for being a deep(er) RPG? Simple, players examined the UI and saw that it seemed really complex with paper dolls, tabs for different systems, and numbers everywhere and just assumed that meant the gameplay complexity would be proportional. They locked onto this initial impression and never updated their priors despite actually playing the game and experiencing that it's a rote stat treadmill without many options.

This is why I never take RPG debates over complexity seriously. It is beyond obvious that the genre discourse is primarily propagated by pseuds who care more about the illusion of complexity than what the gameplay actually supports. If you want real complexity in the gameplay, just play a strategy game or a management sim. If you want to be hassled by tedious UI, play one of these so-called "hardcore" RPGs.

If FO4 released today it'd be much better received. It was specifically that FO4 released at the peak of the casualization backlash that caused gamers to lose their shit over shit like the dialogue system.

Play any other RPG and see that they rarely ever utilize more than 4 dialogue choices. Moreover if you really want to squeeze in more options, you can simply nest those options under an "ask something else" options that bring sup another prompt. It is purely player psychology that they FEEL the dialogue wheel is more limiting even if it barely makes a difference.

Hate that autists insist on having a billion options for everything because it means the rest of us are forced to explore 20 options of pointless flavor text on the off chance one of them actually leads to something interesting. All because autists think exhaustively clicking on everything is exciting gameplay.

It's the setting and the ability to face a moral dilemma here and there, I'm fairly certain that's why those games are remembered so fondly, same as with 3D Fallout really, the fans of those games know the combat sucks balls especially compared to your CoDs and Battlefields (BF3 came out the same year as NV, for reference) but the setting alone overcomes all that, it's great to be immersed in a post-apoc world with reasonably fleshed out lore

Writers have known about this since forever. Plenty of RPGs throughout the 80s and early 90s strayed away from excessive dialogue options. Bethesda themselves never really bothered with branching dialogue and even their old games that seem to have huge dialogue menus are more embedding other gameplay systems into the dialogue window. Similar to how no one regards shop keepers as an elaborate dialogue menu.

Calling branching dialogue fans "old timers" is giving them too much credit. They're mostly just fans of a particular era of RPGs that emerged in the late 90s and was especially associated with Infinity Engine games.

>>716230515
And in table top, you can simply tell the DM what you want your character to say without having to interrogate which of the 17 redundant options actually does something. Moreover it robs the player of their own sense of self-expression when they merely select a predefined option the writers provide for them instead of getting to come up with their own unique response. This aspect of the table top experience has never translated well to video games. Stop forcing it.

Not true a player often has different dialogue options based on what class, race or sex their playing for example a Paladin would say different things to a Mage in the same situation.
It makes the character the player makes actually mean something other than just being cosmetic and many of those dialogue options do have real consequences for example evil options have some delightfully sadistic results.

Did you come up with the ancient RPG rulesets? Why are you defending such an inferior system?
The one good thing from table top that would be phenomenal to use ,but impossible to do, is the agency having a DM gives you. The worst thing to take from it was the rulesets.
Sadly they needed the rulesets due to tech limitations and forgot about the DM.
Maybe with AI they can bring something useful from table top rugs into today's games.

sucks cause it would have been cool to have something like an ironworks settlement that produces scrap metal and a fishing settlement that makes fish. Best you can get is a water producer or a farm/scrap producer.

Sniper rifle, silenced 10mm pistol, silenced 12.7mm SMG. So good.

Any combination of guns + melee/unarmed weapons.

Hunting shotgun, Colt 1911, silenced Browning pistol.

NV has so many enjoyable weapons, and such a selection in each category.

Anyway here's a direct comparison modded and unmodded under the same perks and weapon conditions. It performs like a lighter weight, slightly slower service rifle, or magnum for comparison. I don't run crit builds so I imagine that's what
>>716252735
would give this guy the impression it can be the best pistol in the game.

In terms of actual performance, its drawbacks are still pretty numerous compared to actual heavy hitters in late game.

As if there was anything nefarious about this quest. Go talk to the ghoul for 10 seconds and you'll realize he's trash. He SHOULD be left out, not even because he's a ghoul, but because he has a scumbag persona. But redditors are like a bunch of stupid trained mice.

Honestly Fallout 1 and 2 are pretty bad. Even for games of their time they are very linear and just plain boring, not to mention how junk they are
During the first playthrough the game basically finished itself, they just give you two powerful paladins that easily kill the final boss without your help, and at the same time the other half of the final quest is also completed without a single shot without any effort. It's like the developers realised that no one will tolerate the shit that they made and just wanted to finish quickly and this despite the fact that the game is like only 6 hours long, which is very short.
NV is definitely better and I even enjoyed Fallout 4 a lot more, Fallout 3 still sucks

Bumper sword. Going toe-to-toe with a super mutant wielding a concrete chunk and just chopping his ass in half feels great. Same with ghouls, the counter-chop after blocking their alpha strike just feels great. The anti-reaver weapon.
Works great until you can get a super sledge or blade of the west.
