When you say “age of sail in space” and “rule of cool”, would starships in your setting resemble the vessels of Disney’s sci-fi take on Treasure Planet back in 2002?
That’s lovely Scoob, but the world doesn’t stop rotating no matter how much you focus on characters. And that is especially the case in a long standing series like Fallout with a lot of lore behind it. This is a fictional world with different morals, norms and history to our own. As the...
I understand the logic of it most certainly, but I believe in the long run this is a fad that will end in tears. A good name and a loyal customer base will provide reliable revenue that could keep you in business a hundred years from now, and that’s worth having.
Oh yeah that’s the big problem isn’t it? Microtransactions should only ever be optional and cheap, an extra bit of pocket money on the side, but that sounds like far too much of a good business practice for the modern gaming industry.
Fucking parasites. They’re already drowning in cash as it is.
Victory is sweet, but we must remain vigilant.
That aside, some gormless exec is probably having to come up with the best explanation of their lives for their terrible decision making. The public backlash, the sheer lunacy of it all and impending legal issues were as like too much for them to...
I’m going to be honest, if they really wanted to go through with Shady Sands being destroyed and the NCR fracturing, then Caesar’s Legion should have been the main villainous faction of the TV Show. Despite the setback of Hoover Dam, with the NCR imploding the Legion should have been able to...
As I understand, when the series starts it has been quite a while since Shady Sands was destroyed, correct? Whereafter the NCR falls into ruin and has not been able to pull itself back together again by the time our heroes are waddling around in the wasteland.
With that in mind, there’s an...
Oh yeah don’t get me wrong. Bowden is the go to writer for Chaos (His Night Lords Omnibus was spectacular), although he could do loyalists quite well once (Hellsreach is so good). Just keep him away from the Emperor.
But further to your point, yes you are right. The writers were not all sat...
Abnett is a talented writer, as evidenced by his Gaunt’s Ghosts novels, but he really seemed to lose his way with the Horus Heresy series.
Could be worse though. Dembski-Bowden could have been given more Emperor centric books, when as I understand only Graham McNeil really seems to understand...
