FONV & Aliens : Fallout: New Vegas

» Fri Mar 11, 2011 2:49 am

Ok there has been alot of posts recently about FONV having aliens, alien weapons, alien encounters, ect.

But seriously why can't you guys comprehend that it was an easter egg

The so called "DLC", that POS, buggy, send-off Bethesda released, was pure crap

it was one of those "What If" moments in the brainstorming room in bethesda

There should be easter eggs.

but PLZ no aliens

(i'd write more but i gtg to work so ill check on this ltr)

I hope that by the end three motherships descend from the sky and sends people screaming in terror.
And by fallout 4 they're the main antagonists.

Mothership Zeta was okay but Point Lookout was stellar

Seriously though I only think people hate the concept of aliens because of Mothership Zeta.
But who's to say that a good story can't include aliens?
Zeta had a really poor story and was mostly a run and gun dungeon crawler.
But who's to say that every single encounter with aliens has to be that?
I'm confident in Obsidians writing skills and I'm sure they could come up with a brilliant story even if it include aliens.

Point is, don't hate on aliens just because of Zeta.
Hate on Zeta in that case, how the DLC was executed.

So I'm all for aliens as long as there is a good story for them.

I agree. I just don't want them to become a given in future Fallout games. Or have the main plot involve them. The main story should always be a human struggle. So with that said, I wouldn't mind having alien side quests in the future.

They were originally intended as easter eggs. Bethesda made them canon. I'm not criticizing them for it, just saying that they did.

References, yes. Entire (mind-numbingly mediocre at best) plotlines, no.

Perhaps a search rather than a rave to post a somewhat vulgar topic would have been a good idea?
