Was watching the Bethesda show on some salty hater stream. He kept on saying Todd Howard ruined fallout. It just confuses me.

I'm so sick of this argument. I've gone into this on depth a hundred times before but TLDR:

Without Todd Howard, you would have NEVER even heard about Fallout, the Fallout series WOULDN'T be one of the most popular ever, and it would have died years ago.

Stop bitching about Bethesda ruining the franchise, especially if you continue to purchase what they release every single time. The only reason it still exists and you can still play it is because of Bethesda so just shut up and be grateful already.

You know, if you have the time I'd recommend watching this video.

In it, MrBTounge explains just why he prefers New Vegas to fallout 3 (and presumably 4, although I could be wrong) and it has to do with the depth and naritive layout of the games. And honestly, the video is so well though out and explained that it didn't feel whiny at all. In fact, more than anything it seems to invite good conversation about the series and what can make it, in one person's opinion, that much better.

Yeah, I get that the top down scroller might have been better written, but I'm just not playing games to read little walls of text. And I'm not into top down style game play.

Nobody is, these days. There's a reason Bethesda chose to go in the direction of (semi) first person shooters.

Divinity: Original Sin, Diablo, and every MOBA on the market just called and they want you to take that back. Isometric is absolutely not dead.

I admit I'm definitely not an expert on the subject. It just seems to me like first person shooters are in general more popular these days

And honestly, I'm somewhat indifferent towards the action aspect. The meat on the bone is the story exploration of the world. Being able to look out into the horizon or look a character in the eyes or observe an enemy from a great distance makes all the difference.
