You all know the stories. Fallout was originally a good RPG, now it's a shooter and vastly different than it originally was, and appeals to a different audience.

What if we could convince Bethesda to bring the series back to it's roots? What if we could start a PR nightmare for Bethesda? Start a hashtag, get the casuals in, get the sympathy of Bethesda fans. Start a perpetual shitstorm. A #FalloutGate if you will.

Are you saying you just want the game to be isometric and turned based again?

Because the series became shit at Fallout 2 where it went from being a cool post apoc world to being a huge fucking joke ass memegame. Fallout 2 was the Borderladns of its time

This. Sure, the older Fallout games were great, but there's a reason they aren't like that anymore, and that reason is profit.

Besides, Fallout 4 is pretty damn fun if you consider it a casual shooter with RPG elements. And despite what /v/ would have you believe the new perk system actually makes for some unique character builds.

Bethesda will never change it back or make a spinoff that played like the originals. For 1 they didnt make the originals, 2 the new style makes them tons of money, 3 the resources it would take to make a new game would far outway the revenue it would generate since (in comparison to the fans of the new ones) only a small group would show intrest and buy it.

That CAN'T work.
Bethesda is a company that knows it's audience very well. They will make games that sell, not games that are good/have gameplay depth etc..

Their audience doesn't care about what Fallout used to be they want open world role-playing light, that is what made skyrim successful.
These people don't want tactical battles or deep moral choices they want to play a role-playing game that is easy to play and understand.
>>
>>333381824
Hmm...

Spend tons of hours, manpower, and money remodeling the Fallout series (again) into a gritty, turn based, isometric game that would only appeal to /v/ and a few other basement dwellers?

Or continue in the same direction that Fallout is already in that is wildly more successful and popular than FO1/2?

Tough choice.

Fallout will never go back to its roots. It's way more profitable now that they made the jump to fps. Maybe a small devoted indie team that shares your sensibilities OP will appear and begin work on a legacy game based on the first two, but don't expect Bethesda to make the leap.

Literally 15 people used to play Fallout 1 and 2 when it was owned by Obsidian/Interplay. The series was such a failure that they had to sell the ip to Bethesda. Bethesda "rebooted" the series with Fallout 3 which made the series million times popular.

I'd be fine if they at least did not completely butcher the rpg elements in every iteration. SPECIAL is now dead and conversations are completely pointless.

>Fallout 5
>New system is introduced that allows players to play both isometric turn-base and realtime FPS and a special mode that combines both (lets you use isometric view to command your allies on what to do in battle).
>Perk system redone. No more generic slight damage increase perks and the number of ranks for most skills is reduced to 1 or 2 ranks.
>Many interesting and varied quests are handmade. Designed with many solutions that can suit nearly every type of RP character. You are no longer railroaded into one singular path or karma.
>Make weapon customization worth a damn. Bring back varied ammo as well
>Melee is redone properly. No longer are bandits parrying supersledges being swung by a guy in power armor. You can aim in vats with melee.
>You can build and restore buildings proper in settlements. You can actually terraform and flatten the land. Buildings can be damaged, but settlers will be able to automatically fix them over time (something that should already happen to the buildings they work on in some places like Sanctuary).
>Story is no longer retarded and can have drastic branching paths where each path could easily be their own game.
>No essential characters
>Many factions added that you can join or make enemies of. No more generic raider or bandit factions with no established lore.
>Bring back cybernetics and actually have interesting implants and limb replacements. Allow the player to actually lose an arm or a leg and have to get a mechanical one that can be customized for combat or other uses.
>Allow the player to become a ghoul, supermutant, or a robot. All of which will affect your stats and affect how the world interacts with your character.

Fallout doesn't need to become an isometric turn based game for it to go back to its roots. It can still remain a first person shooter while bringing back the elements that made it great like proper character building, the skill system from 1-2, decent quest and world design that encourage different approaches and repeated playthoughs, organic exploration with no hand holding, etc. The combat and camera angle wasn't that important.

Well, bugs in previous instalments just crashed the game. In FO4 I have come across a number of bugs that made the main quest imposible to complete without the debug console. Consolefags have no that posibility, so for them it's potentially 80 hours of gameplay (and money) down the drain.

No, the only reason why it was that way was due to technological limitations, if they could've made it 3D while keeping the same amount of detail they would have done it and it would not have been turn-based.

Just because a game is viewed from first person and it has smooth modern gameplay doesn't mean you can't design good role-playing elements, good lore and complex story around it.

Why doesn't Bethesda just outsource all the writing to people who are a bit more capable at it? They have all the money in the world after publishing Skyrim and Fallout 4. That's what I would do anyway, I'd like that people would fondly reminisce and remember my games 20 years later and consider them part of RPG history, what the fuck Todd?

I agree that the karma system was shit, but you weren't restricted by it very much, you could still do what ever you wanted, F4 also got rid of it.

So helping or destroying the various factions and the people in the world has no effect on your characters story and morality, all that counts is that people don't treat you differently when you're "snarky"?

You role-play your character to an extent, you make choices, you side with a faction, you quest, you get to meet characters and get to know them, you develop your skills, you have stats, xp and levels, you have an inventory, you can equip things and mod them.

It's literally a textbook example of an RPG.

It's okay to hate things but at least come up with something valid things to hate about it and don't hate it just because it made your secret underground club game series accessible and mainstream.

This, it pretty much revived the entire franchise, I wonder how things would be if they never made a new Fallout game, would F1 and F2 be remembered THIS fondly and would it show up so frequently in must-play RPG lists and be relevant subject of discussion, I doubt it.

I don't understand the point you are trying to make here. F4 has more dialogue than any of the previous Fallout/Elder Scrolls games.

But the game doesn't magically freeze time when you talk to a person so it's bad! You can actually walk away, that wasn't in the 70's Fallout games so it's fucking terrible!

Sure the grapchics, gameplay, UI and overall design is shit but once you get past that it's a pretty good story, think about it more like as a book or a visual novel than an actual video game.

Fallout 4 is not an RPG, this is true. It is just an action-shooter with very few rpg-like elements. But to call it a proper RPG, is false.

really? since you can max out every SPECIAL and every ranked "skill" because there is no level cap? now your "unique" character can be just like everyone else. You can roleplay as a person who says "yes" to every question or walks away until they are ready to say "yes".
>>
>>333398037
you mean Rank1/Rank2/Rank3/Rank4 ?

that sounds totally like something you would think heavily upon making choices.

oh wait you can just max everything out in the end.

you don't have choices and none of your choices matter. you will always end up on the same point.
>>
>>333398531
there's a lot of detail going into the game. everything is explained and tied together neatly.

all your choices actually have consequences sometimes permanent ones and you can really play however you want.

well it is an rpg in a jrpg sense of the word. You don't 'roleplay' there either, but they are still called rpgs.

Oh look it's one of those people who didn't play the game.

You do understand that you finish the game around lvl 30-40, right? You realize how high the exp requirement goes at that point, to maximize every single SPECIAL and skill you'd have to play the game for thousand hours or more you goof, especially when you run out of quests to do that give you a lot of exp, the repeatable quests don't give you much.

There are plenty of RPG games without level cap since the xp requirement goes balls out insane on high levels that it might as well be capped cause you most likely won't level up.

So even if you managed to grind the same area of mobs for months to max out every skill then I guess gz, your character is a god now... In a world where there is nothing to do since you did it all 4 months ago... Have fun, I guess, shame on the devs for letting you do this, because, you know, reasons...

Fallout 2 also had a level cap of 99 and you could pump up SPECIAL stats with perks.

I'm in the NV>1=2>4>3 camp but the fact that 4 doesn't have a level cap really isn't an issue as XP requirements become absurdly high.

A RPG is only as good as it's story AND the systems underneath it that hold it up,you can reskin the game however you want,but if the core systems are still the same it's really the same game like re skinning a skeleton.

All Bethesda has to do it get better writers and actually make better rpg systems instead of neglecting it and filling it with loot in a disconnected world that you explore.

>>333381824
If we could do this, then we should instead take away the rights from Bethesda and give it to someone who knows how to bring back the magic of the old Fallouts.

Also in terms of graphics and gameplay, it would need to change a little. Needs to be more streamlined, but more X-COM:EU/EW and XCOM2 tier of streamlining if we want turn-based. Yet the thing would be, for example, how many time you'd attack depending on both stats and perks you unlocked. Might very well turn it into real-time like Fallout Tactics, yet add an active pause ala DoW or the old D&D video games like BG, IW, Torment or NWN and give the appropriate orders to your characters. Of course, there would be an option to switch between XCOM-style turn-based system and real-time with an active pause.

In terms of graphics...I'd go for a high-quality cel-shaded comic book one, but with realistic proportioning and a fitting style (like The Walking Dead comic books or the games by Telltale), but grittier to fit into the post-nuclear world.

The story...dunno who would need to do it. These days people who can come up with a really good story and deliver it well enough are so rare that it's easier to go and buy depleted uranium these days.
