Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

lol

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.

[anast]

Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.

I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.

[Armaggedon]

Not all games “look” current.

[anast]

Their games always look like the gen before it.

[Armaggedon]

Yeah, but thats not the result of laziness, incompetence, or a bad engine. Thats what happens with their type of open world games. Its hard for people to find a point of comparison because no one makes games like Bethesda does.

mh ok thanks, i still think ur wrong in this mate.

[anast]

No problem. I'm not here to convince you. I'm only stating an actuality. What your words do if we look at them like events.
