TymanTheLong said:The difference between the two is that in Fallout you’re not the main character and you spend your time screwing with everyone and everything until you’ve royally f’ed everything up to the extent that you’ve forced the world to acknowledge your “main characterness”. The world was fine before you and isn’t really any better after everything you typically do so it’s really you (usually a vault dweller) inserting yourself into everyone else’s world and just insisting you get to F it up and everyone is “doing it wrong” like a loud Texan in a Parisian restaurant.
Look, all that matters is that Moira survives (although it always bothered me that a thermonuclear plutonium core would still be viable two hundred years later. Our own [American] nukes's cores have to be replaced every seven years or so. Actually, in that same vein, most bullets are only good for about 30-40 years before the gunpowder goes bad and will no longer combust which also screws with the game's emersion for me, but I digress.)

Fallout stories are self serving ego trips but what I’ve played or Starfield is just dumb writing. I think they differ in more than color pallette😂
But I like being the Chosen One. Iiiiiiiiin spaaaaaceeee!
