Jokes on you, Bethesda still hasn't decided to announce it.
But, I will pose a question - how much longer do you think they can go without a formal announcement that says "Yes, it exists, and yes, it's coming"?
To put it into perspective going off of past Fallout games - Bethesda stated in 2004 they would begin working on Fallout 3, but didn't truly begin whole-heartedly until after Oblivion shipped. The first announcement and trailer came around in 2007, and the game launched in October 2008.
Fallout New Vegas was announced in April 2009, and launched October 2010.
So, is 2015 the year of an announcement? Or is Bethesda going to continue teasing the idea til 2016, or beyond?

Due to the lovely issue of sovereignty, that is, unfortunately, unavoidable.
Not entirely.
While I believe the current set-up - though unfortunate - is better, it seems a lot of people here are invariably opposed to profiting from destitution on principle.
Given that this is the case, I'd be interested to know why these people aren't conducting aid missions.
Likely due to the fact that there are far worse conditions elsewhere in the world that need attending to first - therefore, more costs and aid goes to these regions. Aid organizations can only do so much with however much funding they get. Child labor is shitty, yes. But there are far worse.

And in that way they don't deserve to have a utopia if they let the child suffer like that.
You mean in the same way people in the West profit off child labour and sweatshops?
Due to the lovely issue of sovereignty, that is, unfortunately, unavoidable. The situation in the OP is.

Holy shit, I've been waiting to use this image.  Basically, what Azumarill said. If you want to say we should round up the gays and send them to gas chambers on live TV, you're welcome to. But don't expect to be shielded from punishment, criticism, or vicious mobs running you out of town.

Click MeThere's a poll running in the News forum, regarding whether you'd like to see an "Anime" sub-forum added to the forums, or if you have other suggestions regarding similar ideas. The staff appreciates all the feedback

Yes
I find that to be, quite seriously, irrational.
And I find your position to be as well. You see why we are polar opposites.

Didn't say the new civilization would be a utopia, nor should it be. We'd only end up in the start once again.
So you'd destroy a utopia for the sake of a single suffering individual?
Yes, but it's not a true utopia - it's close, but it's not, and should be feigned as one.

« on: December 05, 2014, 02:00:34 PM »
I don't agree with this. Sure - life would be shit for people, but that doesn't mean that the group of people cannot begin anew and start a civilization once more.
You're moving the goalposts. The question is about whether you can ever have a moral trade-off between the subjugation of one party and the well-being of another, and where that threshold lies. In this scenario, this is the only way to achieve anything near to a utopia.

Fairly certain I had a dream about this once...
Anyway, I'd probably want to help the kid, but realize that in doing so I'd set the entire city against me and most likely end up dead. I'd rather not be skun alive. This leaves the option of either accepting the child's life as a fact and the reason for my happiness and moving on, or being repulsed by it to the point where I can no longer stand to live in the city. The later option is really no better, because nothing changes for the child. He's still living the same way he was before I'd have left.
May as well just utilize the fruits of his suffering. It would be rude not to.
Like Psy said though. It's never going to be a utopia, if one person suffers.
One person suffering while everybody else leads perfect lives? It's simple mathematics.
Again - it's not a utopia in that case.
Technically, no.
But it's pretty damn close and that's good enough for me. Imagine. One person suffering and that's it. It'd be paradise.
But how long would the suffering remain only for the kid? Even in the utopia.
I assume they pick a new kid eventually. Still, the needs of the many.
Not picking a new kid. You'd have to expect, at some point, the problems would spread.
