Wow.. This game is a mess of stolen ideas

[wyt_gogogog]

This game represents a creative bankruptcy at bethesda.
I only explored the first planet after intro *) and it's basically a mash-up of several space and sci-fi games. I see elite, nms, metal gear and others. No doubt mass effect will become important at some point.
Bethesda is not even trying to come up with original ideas at this point. It's really sad.

*) Seriously Bethesda? One moment i'm a miner, there is some random artifact and literary two minutes later some guy flies in and gives me his spaceship and i'm off murdering people? How the ♥♥♥♥ is that motivated? This is the most rushed and shallow way to start off what is supposed to be an epic adventure.
What kind of empty-brained towel of a writer imagineerd this crap?

nothing wrong with stealing other peoples idea, especially if you it better. (kinda doubt bethesda is doing it better though.)

and ofc 90% of modern scifi is stolen from things like Dune, and 90% of modern fantasy is stolen from Lord of the Rings.

OP, Xbox Games Studio is going to be Lucky if no one SUES them because of STARFUNK! I just hope they give Fall Out Franchise to Obsidian and let them make FO5!

Let's see, Fallout 4. You wake up, run to the museum, meet Garvey, go back to sanctuary and you are all of the sudden a General and own your own settlement. Like what were you expecting?
I don't get why people just don't play games for what they are instead of making up crap in their own heads and expecting that game to be what they imagined. Just play the game, if you don't like it then stop playing. Maybe express this to their support or forums so they can actually see your feedback. Doubt they even look here.

"The first few pages annoyed me, as they involved going on an adventure, which was hardly an original idea for an adventure story"

Yet the trillion soul like rpgs is really the same game with a new mask on and non of the fanbase would demand no less than 100/10.

So many video games out there love stealing ideas from all sorts of books and movies and tabletop games and even other video games, so you're going to have a hard time narrowing it down to truly original and non-derivative ideas.

to be fair that style was used for ages, even star wars had posters similar.

Never even heard of that movie up to this point, but now I'm curious.

My being a prolific sci-fi reader, and have read just about every sci-fi book going back to about the year 1914. Nothing since about the 1950's ( when most of the great sci-fi was written ) is original.

if it wherent for they ban modders if they remove/add things they dont like i think a modder crew could fix the mess and rewrite it completely in 3 months time to be what it should have been. the game has engine and voice, character expressions and all that has gotta be redone tho XD

You having a stroke?

[cdplayer906]

first bethesda game OP?

EDIT - wait till you find out about tropes and archetypes lol

I agree that the beginning isn't any good at all. Make it plausible, pleaaaasee... I'm a rookie miner, and within minutes I'm murdering bands of space pirates?

With clunky shooter mechanics to boot... The beginning of Morrowind was much shorter, but also much more plausible. I believe a classic bethesda 'you've escaped space prison with an artifact' would have been better....

I've just arrived at the constellation base and I'm getting 'poor man's no man's sky' vibes...
