I just... don't really know what kind of story they can do with the setting they've set up, it's so boilerplate as to be anything, and there's something so offputting about these super sterile scifi ipod settings where everything has RGB leds. I guess I'm just a simp for Firefly, or Aliens kinds of visions of the future: where people are basically the same hardscrabble lot just on other planets, and the tech has a real utilitarian and used feel and look. I want my space to be kind of grungy and working class, dammit.

The level design in Alien Isolation felt so damn good. I want more of that.
Oh wow three factions? What's that? There's the hyper sci-fi authoritarians, the grungy criminal group, and the rough around the edges good guys? So cool
I think there's a good chance there will be "cool wacky science freedom bros" judging by Todd Howard's rumored chumminess with :my-hero:
Oh yeah, bland as fuck. And the gunplay looked like trash. Bet it's got that good, good Bethesda writing, too.
I can't wait for the story climax where you are presented with 2 buttons labeled "Free Ice Cream and Ponies for Everyone" and "Begin the Fourth Reich" which will be hailed by critics and fans as a "deep and meaningful moral choice" and ferociously defended by fanboys the way Fallout 3 is now
And a lot of edgelords will unironically support the Fourth Reich option and quote it online a lot. :doomer:
Every time someone tries to argue that Caesar was the lesser evil.
I feel like they were trying to write the Legion to be somewhat grey, to make the player weigh stability and protection from raiders against the brutal but effecient methods of the Legion, but that's not what ended up in the game.
