"It reminds me actually of how even Fallout 3 wasn't that good"
This. x10.
Interplay made some fucking dark, dark ass shit... Bethesda's stuff would have moments of glory... and New Vegas itself wasn't bad at all... but everything they do really ends up seeming like a pool of 100 college interns wrote most of the cliche shit and they just crammed it into being read by the same 3 voice actors.
I mean, you watch the fucking FO:4 trailer and BAM hey, it's Astrid from the Dark Brotherhood in Skyrim talking... for the love of fuck, hire some new people.
