I can make my own stories in the waste, I don't need an overly strong story to help me wander about. They already 'linearized' their sandbox after Morrowind with more realistic physics in Oblivion, and it was a very sad day. I'll still play it to death I'm sure.Į: Gotta agree that more story would probably = more linearization as krimhorn stated. My biggest question is: Will it all still be pure wasteland? Or are we going to have some greenery? If it's only wasteland and ruined cities, that schtick might be a little tired at this point. Skyrim did make a pretty nice leap in interactive sandbox storytelling, so I suppose there is hope. God healed a narcissist by making him live in the lowliest conditions for seven. Nebuchadnezzar has to live outside with the beasts, eating grass and the ability to communicate is taken from him for seven years. Every Elder Scroll game improved on the last, but the characters and story are one thing that has hardly changed in any meaningful way. God forces the wayward king to change by giving him just the treatment he needs to become a real person again. Their team doesn't have those skills imo. Man, so many hours spent on those games.Īs much as I'm sure they would like to include such improvements, I don't think they could do it even if they wanted to. I'm sure I'll enjoy it either way since I adored FO3 before NV came out, but it'll be tinged with disappointment if they try to act like NV's improvements didn't happen. Here's hoping they take the mechanical and storytelling changes from FONV into account and we don't have to wait another couple years for Obsidian's improved crack at it.
