Back to your chess club, Todd.
this is also why its set on the East Coast, Bethesda doesn't give a fuck about fallout lore, just the setting, and even then, only their version of the setting.
hence why you are still using bottlecaps 200 years later when Fallout 2 had them already discarded only 75 years later.
>>317606874
He looks to be a very insecure guy
He probably dressed all up just to take that pic

Wait I just realized they mean why don't I just surrender, never mind.
>>317606870
Maybe it means "Why do you humans always fight BACK when I try to murder and eat you because I am a generic orc enemy"
It's like the Star Treks fans demanding answers for some contradicting plot points from William Shatner.
Pete seemingly got a bit pissy but there's only so much shit you can take, like that guy calling him a degenerate, before you start going passive-aggressive. Twitter is always like that. Most likely there were more insults to which he didn't even respond.
>>317605436
Look, understand that Zenimax, and by extension Bethesda, are one of the most corporate studios next to Ubisoft and EA. Literally everything is done by committee and as such the management is totally divorced from what goes on in their own company. Unfortunately it is not his job to know these things nor is he responsible for it. The whole point of design-by-committee is to spread the blame out when things go wrong.
>>317604915
Same faggot that shit talked Evil Within's loading times while demo-ing it.
>>317606870
it's just bethesda's shitty usage of the noble savage trope
>>317607073
This. I don't really care either way, but it's pretty clear the people tweeting are just looking to be angry at any flaw.
There are of course flaws, no doubt. But they want him to basically kneel and suck them off going "S-so sorry for messing up Fallout!"

Not even comparable, Shatner actually directed those films with said contradicting plot points. Hines is the VP and PR guy, i doubt he knows nor cares what the writers were doing.

No, fuck off. They could have effortlessly hired somebody that was both qualified and knew the lore.

>>317604915

>>317607619
It's possible, except the entries all reference and allude to pre war.
So saying "Oh no it doesn't say when it was written" is the worst cop out ever. It doesn't explicitly date the events but it does describe the setting of them. And that setting is pre-war.

Todd just a better peter molyneux. Better at lying and better at being above the nonsese that comes with getting caught for lying.
But this has nothing to do with Bethseda's terrible design-by-committee game development. This is just their corporate PR guy being a kek.
>>317607915
Obviously that was him just guessing since he says afterwards that he didn't write it and doesn't know the context. He could have said that with a better tone though so the babbies wouldn't get their feels hurt.
Might not seem like an issue to some, but it's in fact a major issue in the videogames industry and has been for far too long. People who have no interest or experience what so ever in videogames actually creating videogames.
This is why when we expect progress in a games series in terms of features we instead get regression and "streamlining". They have no clue what they're doing and only sell games based on their names and heritage.

If there's one thing these shitty threads have taught me, it's that if you're working on something you intend people to care about, and you're on Twitter, it's pretty much inevitable you'll end up in an argument with some asshole and become better known for stirring up Twitter drama than your work.

>>317608103
I have far more sympathy with Molyneux than with Todd. Molyneux is just an over-enthusiastic ideas guy who gets genuinely sad when he realises he's let people down. Todd doesn't give a fuck, he just wants to drum up as much hype as possible.

>>317605436
You think a VP makes the damn game? He's a VP, he has employees that do that. They probably don't want him over their shoulder anyway. Sure, FO4 has a lot of inconsistencies, I assume they have like 20 people writing all this crap, it can be hard to keep all of them on the same page.
>>317608143
I help run a small, free game. We get about 200 unique players a week on our server.
I have to carefully watch what I say. I can't promise things that won't happen, or say things that are wrong.
Best I figure is there's absolutely no repercussions for bethesda no matter what he says.
>>317608279
He asked for feedback, its kind of his job as head of PR.
I dont think he's a "creative guy".
>>317608573
But he could of handled it better on my opinion. Addressing it as an issue instead of inadvertently saying he doesn't care.
>>317605693
Didn't Troika collapse into the abyss? And who the fuck are Fargo?
Look, Bethesda aren't great, but at least we don't have a yearly Fallout CoD clone. I'll take it.

Good job, moron. The wikipedia you link to prove you wrong. Bethesda merely published ESO, and didn't develop it.
>>317609480
ESO was made by Zenimax. Bethesda may be owned by Zenimax on paper but Bethesda is still it's own developer and publisher.
Whether Zenimax will attempt to recuperate losses by taking profit from FO4; I can't say 'cause I don't know how the Zenimax/Bethesda relationship works internally.

Don't you get it, that's worse. Developers don't invest money, they get paid for making games. If a game bombs, "oh well, too bad to the investors and probably going to lay off some of us". Producers are the ones who invested money in the game.

I think it's kind of autistic to go and attack this guy on twitter over this, but at the same time if you're in a position like his, you ought to have a vested interest in your products, and that should hold true for a good number of executive positions. If you're just there to run a company and don't give a shit about what you produce, it comes off as extremely disingenuous when people try to approach you and you know jackshit about your company's service and products. It's like Reggie during that Nintendo tournament earlier this year. He could have at least taken some small amount of time to learn the basic controls, but he didn't and he played Smash Bros worse than a 5 year old. People make him out to be some ebin gamer, but he proved he's no different than the other suits out there. It's like showing up to a debate and not knowing what the fuck you're debating.

>>317607898
On its own, it's not a big deal. It's a single entry in a single terminal in a single vault that's not connected to the main story (or any quest, if I remember correctly) at all.
The reason it gets talked about a lot and made to feel like more than it is is because it's an easy poster-child for a larger issue - which is that Bethesda bought up an IP because it was A) a setting they found appealing and could work with for open-world, and B) had some credibility with consumers, already, and they could use that as launch pad for interest. They clearly had no love for the lore of the game or anything 1 and 2 did. They used as much canon as they wanted just to set up FO3 and beyond, but at best neglected the finer details and at worst openly discarded them in favor of a quick joke or "something cool we wanted to do."
When Bethesda fucks up its own lore in each subsequent Elder Scrolls game, that's one thing; it's their own story. But when they start cutting up something some other team made, it feels worse.
>>317611267
>>317611413

Bethesda didn't actually publish it, their parent company ZeniMax did. Being the owners of Bethesda, of course they would want to attach the name to an Elder Scrolls product. The only negative for Bethesda in this case is a slight hit to their reputation among consumers.

Think of Jet as being a generic term applied to both actual Meth in the Pre-War period, and also "Meta-Meth" developed by Myron or whatever Post War.

WHY is it so hard for them just to admit it was a mistake and their continuity girl didn't catch it?
pic very related, every time you expect something to make sense in-game, these guys come out of the woodwork with their "IT'S FANTASY SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP"

my guess is without the master the newer generations are each getting a little more insane in the membrane.
That and the east coast strain of FEV is different from the west coast...
But seriously where the fuck is all the FEV coming from? Did west-tek just make enough of it that there's going to be super mutants being made till someone (probably a supermutant) blows up the sun?

>When Bethesda fucks up its own lore in each subsequent Elder Scrolls game, that's one thing; it's their own story. But when they start cutting up something some other team made, it feels worse.
..that is a very good point.. someone should let them know this. I would but I don't have a twitter account and have no reason to get one.
>>317613030
Being a PR guy doesn't mean your requirement is to be as PC as possible. You could very well call everyone faggots and that would get you on top of Reddit for a few days. Extreme example.
But as long as he isn't told by higher ups he doesn't need to change anything.

my fallout lore knowledge isn't the best, but didn't FEV come from one source? Mariposa, right?
To be fair, this dude has to sit on twitter and deal with retarded autistic spergs sperging out on him daily.
I'd be bitter and give no shits too.

There's no fucking reason for FEV to be in the East.
>>317613702
It'd be fine if he were a complete dick, but instead he's playing both sides of it. One or the other.
Is there any explanation in the game at all for how the children of atom survives living in that crater? Fucking hell it's so stupid

Feels like NMA in here.
>bawww my game isn't how it should beee ;____;
bitch more, bitch boys. Bethesda can do whatever they want and it's canon. Your silly "jet" argument is over, it is now a pre-war drug.
so the children of atom at the Crater of Atom, the fucks up with that

absolutely nothing. They stiffed him entirely, even going so far as to invite him to their offices so Molyneux could shake his hand, look him in the eye and lie to his fucking face.

>>317613692
Nah there was a supply in vault 82 in the DC metro area, that seems to be the east coast source of super mutants but it ran out a bit before the events in FO3, however it all goes back to West-tek (may or may not have been an enclave shell company like Poseidon energy I'm sketchy on that bit of lore) which was more or less the creators of the FEV.
there also may be an FEV source in the commonwealth but I haven't gone exploring and hunting for it yet.
>>317614303
Molyneux is the perfect spokesman for the potential of games. He otherwise needs to be kept far away from videogame development.
He popped my idealism cherry with Project Ego/Fable. I don't even know what the Carter Brothers are doing now.

Zenimax IS Bethesda. They may own the Bethesda studio, but essentially, Zenimax is Bethesda, with many other studios under their wing.

I've been wondering this myself.
Is there ever any explanation anywhere as to why they even exist? They don't seem to have any purpose in the game other then saying "yeah that virgil guy is over there" and there's no real explanation of how they exist.
My assumption is that they have a unique genetic strain or something that makes them practically immune to radiation. So there was probably a group of them many years ago who can survive out in the wasteland and they just settled out there and had kids with each other, and the genetic strain gets passed down. They probably assumed they were immune for a reason and took it as a sign of a god so they created their little cult to some made up god.
Not sure how they survive with such little food or water around though. Something else i'm curious about is does the institute know they exist? Virgil knows they exist at least. If their cause of radiation immunity is in their blood like i think it might be, then it's possible if you take some of their blood you can make yourself immune too. If the institute knew these people existed why would they have taken some blood by now? Virgil at least wouldn't have to transform into a super mutant.

>>317615075
maybe they're in the process of being ghoul-ified.

Yes and no. Bethesda is still very much its own company with its own shares on the stock market.

>>317615243
Thinking leads to overthinking. Let the fans make up their back story, it'll be more immersive for them.
>>317615263
How? They didn't die because they weren't making vampire and fallout games.
>>317615075
I think it's explained that since its in the Glowing Sea the Institute didn't even bother sending someone out to find Virgil, so they wouldn't find the children of plot holes

They're one of the easiest. Their video player is entirely flash based and videos will still play without it so all you have to do is disable flash and right click to download.
>>317604915
Tle lore in Beth games don't matter. Fucking deal with it, nerds
>>317615364
That make no sense at all.
>Institute heavily relies on Synths to do their above ground shit
>Synths are immune to radiation, at least the generation 1 and 2s are as they have no biological components, and we can CLEARLY see generation 1s still in use through-out the game.
>Glowing Sea is bathed in radiationThe real reason they don't is because they think Virgil is dead
>>317615075
....so what you're saying is due to a genetic fluke their blood is potentially for all intents and purposes rad-x or even rad away......

Normies don' t ask those kind of questions. They just find this shit funny.

I don't even care about a minor lore detail, but they really fucked up this game with stupid dialogue and quests.
