still slowly rewatching mike and zach, the fallout youtubers, and i'm still just...incensed, how do you make an entire total conversion mod sold specifically to fallout nerds, set in California, and somehow make the Shii, descendants of a CHINESE NUCLEAR SUBMARINE...speak *Japanese* - ThreadSky

It's kind of incredible how terrible basically every single major fallout story mod is. Like you'd think fallout 3/4's writing wouldn't be that high of a bar to clear, but alas.

Like, fandom writing is hit and miss, but how is it so many misses???

Right like, it's not just that they're poorly written, it's not that they misintrpret the fallout story, it's thst they seem to just not be very familiar with the setting that they have invested probably thousands of hours in just to make the mod.

The Frontier is great because it is one guy who is ludicrously good at coding stuff making the Gamebryo engine do absurdly impressive things through sheer scripting genius - but, like, he can't fucking WRITE. He doesn't know how to WRITE!

Even just from the standpoint of 'what's the best way I can showcase the crazy shit I can do in gamebryo', 'a call of duty campaign' is probably not the answer!

(Also I dig mike and zack a lot but their tolerance for absolutely godawful mods boggles me.)

THe mods being mad is half the fun, lol

Mike finds them funny because he's one of those people who seem like a nice person IRL and can manage to play an absolute sociopath in games without feeling guilty.

And Zach just.. openly hates them, but it's mostly hyperbole. Except that time he almost just straight up quit playing Dust.
