Yeah for sure. The story of Fallout 4 should have resolved before you ever thawed, or it shouldn't have been happening. The Minutemen were destroyed but I guess no one filled the power void. (What even were the minutemen? A political entity? Did they have a presence in diamond city or goodneigbor? Who paid them? Did they extract taxes from farms? I guess we'll never know). The Commonwealth is a place ravaged by Raiders who thoughtlessly kill and rob farmers, it's basically a no-mans land warzone, but for some reason, people still live and farm and trade there. The railroad and institute have no interest in anything that doesn't involve synths, but they're both in a complete stalemate before the protagonist arrives for no reason. The world doesn't need to literally progress without the protagonist present like in shadow of war or something, but the narrative should act like it will.
Bethesda is in love with this idea of the wasteland as a lawless wild-west with a million tiny factions and no states, even though it's been two hundred years and political power solidified in the west over a century ago. They even destroyed the NCR in the show so they could have this
Oohhhh that makes sense. That's an important place to have in society tbf, it's just not the same in a casino or a speakeasy
“We are not an authoritarian nation where we silence people or squash dissent,” Biden said. “… Peaceful protest is in the best tradition of how Americans respond to consequential issues.”
"But,”
Take yourself a little bit seriously Joe
We must assume that 95% of Skyrims population turned to banditry because Skyrim is a barren wasteland inhospitable to agriculture. They commit their acts of robbery by sitting around in abandoned forts and mines until someone decides to kill them
It should be so easy to make the enemies in Skyrim make sense. There's a civil war going on, there can be deserter factions, mercenaries, hostile warbands, disparate ethnicities like the Forsworn, orcs and dark elves, and yes, bandits, but they should be opportunitistic thieves made up of people who can't make a living because of the war and ex-soldiers, not the majority of the population.
Bandits and Raiders are just the laziest form of enemy. They're people you only need to kill without having to engage with the story in any way, you don't need to think about the factions or politics or their cultures or histories. Compare how New Vegas has distinct raider groups, like the fiends, powder gangers and khans, who are all a part of the story and immediately hostile factions. They can be both, but Bethesda just can't write them like that.
Liberals cannot imagine that anyone would care about genocide
Fuck dude I have to eat like an entire watermelon. Its so much watermelon
I was gonna say I can't imagine it being France because of how fascist and imperialist the state is, then I remembered what the German state is and the difference in action between German and French leftists. Yeah France seems like a decent bet, it seems like the contradictions there heighten every day
I'd like to for sure but waiting lists are usually over a year in my country and its ridiculously expensive to get a private assessment.
Asa and Katana man are so funny I love them. Their little friend group is full of cringe losers
I don't see ants or ladybugs in the summer anymore either. I miss the bugs :(
Every restaurant that is obviously front has the best and cheapest food in my experience. I assume they just have a cousin who doesn't want to get involved with the dirty stuff but has a passion for cooking so they stick them in the kitchen and say "do whatever you want"
