Random Question Not Bethesda Related: For the new Thief game, did they get the same guy to be Garrett?

[FrozenFoxy]

@RedneckYachtClubber Currently that is unknown. However, think about this fact - the original trailers for BioShock: Infinite DID have Stephen Russell (Garrett) voicing the main character. Later, they changed to a different voice actor, meaning Stephen may not have had the time to voice the character... meaning he might be doing something else. *cough* Thief 4 *cough*

Am I right to asume you hate Skyrim also, your reasonsare very true especailly the repetetive characters and the very little memorable characters. I find I remember a lot of Fallout characters personally where as Skyrim I only remember the name of the 2 main Dragons.

**Nod nod** Very valid points, sir. I was particularly displeased with Oblivion and Fallout 3 for these reasons. I will say, however, that I disagree on the topic of Morrowind, I find that game very easy to get lost in. It's one of my personal favorites.

That said, this was a very well thought-out "rant" (maybe that's ironic, but I like irony, too), and I enjoyed listening to it. Also, you name-dropped Thief, which is my personal favorite series of all time. Thumbs-up to you, friend!

@hotwhire Amen. I feel the same way. The setting, the lore, all of this is in place. I do think that story presentation is something that they should work on, but I will say that Skyrim does make some strides in this area.

Fallout also needs more variety in hairstyles... almost every character looks like Moira or your father.

[hotwhire]

I think fallout would benifit more if its conversation system was more like Mass effects, to which your character actually vocally responds to what he/she replies with, rather then you change what the other person says so suddenly with a random phrase.

[hotwhire]

Bethesda really lacks with facial expressions. Most characters just have:

Happy / Sad / Angry. Preset on them. They barley change if at all when speaking and your character her/himself never changes their mood EVER even when hit by bullets/Swords.
