ITT: We list mistakes Bethesda makes while making their games.

I'll start off with going for a showy release date.

"Even if our game isn't done yet, we will push it out the door because the date looks nice!"

"when we began the modelling process for our characters, we were primarily inspired by the likeness of mr. potato head"

We summoned him using the ancient ritual of bashing Halo 5.

Me and Abbot at the wall:
Abbot: Hey, don't touch the wall!
Me: Forget you, pal
Abbot: Well, maybe you want a job?
Me: Maybe I do, maybe I don't
Abbot: Need more paint, pay you 100 caps
Me: 100 caps? You think I'm gonna go for that?
Abbot: alright, here's 125 caps
Me: Come on, you're not even trying
Abbot: alright, 150 caps
Me: Gonna have to go a bit higher than that, pal
Abbot: Wow, gotta say I admire your tenacity. 175 caps
Me: Almost there
Abbot: Fine, I'll give you 200 caps. I hope you're worth it. So, you wanna take it?

The way my character responded made me burst out laughing. He was offended that he couldn't touch a wall and he acted like a punk.

Making the game

BaconShelf · February 26, 2016, 11:47:25 AM

200 years and the pre-war buildings haven't been looted, the wasteland is an anarchy and civilisation hasn't advanced beyond the stone age
a world where colour tv hasn't been invented has widespread use of VR
The assumption that people love simplified stat systems and more radiant sidequests/ less proper quests over the depth of previous games
making their unique, interesting fantasy setting into Lord of The Rings ft. Vikings
making an MMO out of a traditionally single player franchise
not updating their ~13 year old engine

let's take an rpg and gut those elements

Sandtrap · February 26, 2016, 12:20:57 PM

Somehow finding a way to make an enemy that's cool in concept or who looks cool as shit the most snoring block of health to chip away at in a very underwhelming and unexciting encounter.

"Let's take like 8 seconds in the character creator menu to design all of our NPCs"

No one cares about load screens, it's part of the experience.

velox · February 26, 2016, 01:06:05 PM

poor landscape geometry, or whatever the correct word is. the meshes just aren't well put together, in some places you can see through the ground and such.

I would list mistakes but I got something different to do this time. Another settlement sent word that they need my help.

A Cheese Potato · February 26, 2016, 03:52:29 PM

the hunting rifles in fallout 4 are for left handers but you still hold it right handed so it looks weird
