This guy's crazy if he thinks a lack of a karma system is in any way bad. Karma systems in general are bad. They artificially attempt to add weight to decisions instead of relying on decent writing, as well as creating incentive to make decisions you wouldn't normally choose. That, and, of course, it creates a binary system of good vs evil, instead of allowing for shades of grey. Look no further than Witcher 3 if you want to see a well done choice system.

I preferred the faction system in Fallout: New Vegas. Instead of being a "good guy" or a "bad guy" with a sort of absolute counter, I was either friends with a faction or not. Sure, certain factions were more good or evil than others, but it was very possible to be on good terms with most everyone if you were willing to talk things out a bit.

As for the rest, those are pretty big none issues in my opinion. The introduction in Fallout 3 wasn't that great, I prefer invincible companions and a certain amount of bugs are expected in Bethesda games. Inventory management is a bit of a pain in Fallout games, but it's not terrible.

Worst thing about Fallout 4 is going to be my social life. We turned off the phone, locked the door, loaded up gun.

Bring back freedom with magic (even if exploitable it's fun). Bring back utterly bizarre and memorable characters (starfield felt like theirs were designed by a committee of wet blankets). Bring back actual consequential player choice ie different classes and guilds/houses/etc that can't all be done in the one playthrough. And update or replace that damn engine for more seamless streaming/traversal so dungeons, towns and buildings aren't segmented separate levels. And for the love of god don't dare do that shitty dialog wheel and voiced player again

First of all, they should replace Todd Howard for that to happen.

Starfield could have become an (Xbox) megaseller and critically acclaimed milestone in the Sci-Fi genre.

I would have never let them work with CreationEngine 2 for that, but scrapped it completely.

the Fallout 4 Anniversary edition is a JOKE.. way too expensive.. and its broken.. Bethesda is a joke now..
