This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Probably helps that they got one of those worlds from another company
And when they let yet another company do a game in the series as a one-off, it became widely regarded as the best title in the series post Bethesda acquisition.
What game was that?
fallout new vegas
One of their games was made by another company entirely but now they're making other worlds outside them
Have you played many of their original settings? I thought they'd be different. They're all passingly interesting but haven't really stuck in my head quite the same way
It's kind of a ship of Theseus situation, the writing from early TES games (and the writers too I'm assuming) isn't the same as later ones. Making a more approachable game comes with sacrifices too.
wait, which one?
The first Fallout game was made by Interplay and second one by Black Isle, Interplay's in-house dev studio.
They also looked a wee bit different from Bethesda's entries.
The fact that ‘Fallout’ 3/4 are in any way good after having been acquired by a different company and made in a different paradigm is a damn unicorn in the gaming world.
