>Fallout 3: Main quest is about finding your father who no matter what dies
>Fallout 4: Main quest is about finding your son who no matter what dies
How does Bethesda get away with this? Do they really think "this character is a family member, find them" is the most compelling motivation so they just reuse it?

Gaming journalists and a media that will never call them out on their bullshit.
Also the retarded mouth-breathers that got into video games with the previous console generation that eat shit with a siphon.

so the main point of these games is to save?

At least 1, 2 and New Vegas don't have hamfisted relationships with people you're supposed to care about.
>>322146496
Fallout 1 and 2's purposes are more important overall to the wasteland than "mah son/mah dad"
New Vegas is just a basic human mindset of "I'm gonna get this motherfucker" I think we can all appreciate that desire.

>New Vegas: Find your attempted murderer and save the wasteland
You don't have to do either.

Bethesda doesn't understand RPG storytelling/worldbuilding and thinks they have to make the protagonist the center of the game rather than a blank slate by which the player explores the setting.
