Maybe those "Help me, I'm a prisoner in a software company" messages were also true hehe

$80 for a bottle of rum in a plastic case!?

Plus delivery, I think it worked out at $100 all in for most people.

The thing is, for a small run of custom glass bottles, even with cheap rum in them, that would've been quite reasonable.

People would have bought them even if they were empty. Shame they had to cheap out.

Exactly, for years they have missed the boat on the cash machine of Fallout repros.

I’m quite disappointed that to my knowledge they have removed the dialogue with other a.i characters in f76. I know there are robots and human players, but for me I really liked the interaction with a.i characters that altered the story/quests. That was kind of a big draw to fallout for me.

I’m persevering with the game, and dare say it I have enjoyed parts of it too. I think the human player element could potentially work well going forward. Its not a patch on new Vegas though. (So far)

Soma is a superb, and a really great experience, but it is very "on rails" and I wouldn't suggest it to someone who loves open world shooters. Especially as there are no weapons whatsoever.

Having said that, I do really love Soma. Especially in "safe mode" as I found evading the monsters detracted from the experience, rather than adding to it.

If anyone doesn't have it Soma is currently free on GOG - https://www.gog.com/

The latest Bethesda bk drop (how many do they have?!!) is banning FO76 players (from FO76 and all Zenimax online games!) for running 3rd party applications to "cheat". But only because Bethesda's shonky poor implementation of cheat checking is picking up installed applications on their checklist whether they are running or not, so if you have installed cheat engine for another game it will pick it up and flag you. Some people claim to have only graphical reshade or mods installed which are not applications yet still have received a ban notice. Bethesda's email to banned users says they may be allowed back if they write an essay explaining why it's a bad thing to do. Welcome back to school kids, I hope you enjoyed your Christmas break.

They may as well sell the franchise, they’ve completely ballsed it up with this release. I would struggle to pay for another one of their releases.

And another one, like all previous Bethesda games there is a secret development room where all items in game can be found usually accessed via the (disabled in Fo76) console, only some players have found a way around it and can access the development room for all the weapons, armour and even unreleased armour paint that aren't in the store - https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2019-01-11-fall...

Ps there is also an actual NPC in the development room ! https://youtu.be/32pj-dq1Ouo?t=353

It gets even funnier, if you access the room you get your account suspended. To remove the suspension to your account you have to email back Bethesda saying how to got there...

https://youtu.be/32pj-dq1Ouo?t=463

Though they don't seem to be suspending people who have used a mule account to gain access then transferred the juicy stuff to their main account, they might get round to that but given the above I'd be feeling pretty confident you'd escape the banhammer!

Why haven't they just cancelled everything and refunded everyone who bought the game, just one ridiculous thing after another and they aren't getting better.
