I could care less about any of these franchises so it's just pure entertainment to me. On the up side, I've been re-watching HoTD season 1 and appreciating it more. I thought it was slow when first watching it, but now that I'm able to pick up on things, I can see all the subtlety. I also like how they made the Velaryons and Targaryens feel ancient and somewhat alien. 1 "If you know me you know I don't keep up with the times.

They just got driven so deep in the dirt that I more or less gave up on them. Only thing from them that I really care about anymore in Andor, and it’s cut from a different cloth. HotD feels really overlooked for how good it is. It’s not just a solid show; it’s downright excellent. Viserys and Daemon had better arcs in one season than most characters ever will. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celan Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I've been noticing more minor characters like Helaena. She's the dotty sister who gets married off to her brother. Apparently her mutterings are all prophecies. I really didn't get it until I watched again...

Daemon's anti-hero turn in episode 3 is what turned me from bitter GoT cynic to a fan of the show. I still find him horrifying and sexy, and it only gets darker from here. Fortunately I don't remember much about the rest of the story so it will be fairly new. 1 "If you know me you know I don't keep up with the times.

For me, Viserys was the biggest and most surprising highlight. He’s such a forgettable character in GRRM’s history, but the show took that reputation and made an extremely compelling story out of it. A very tragic character, but I reckon most of them will be by the end. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBossBalrog Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Here's another thing I thought Fallout 3 did well; the gritty, horror-esque, visceral nature of the environment. There's just something awesomely grimy and filthy about the entire thing. It has 10/10 art direction (which is probably why New Vegas re-used so many designs in it ) Fallout 4 in comparison is very lacking; everything is pristine. The raider camps no longer have meat hooks, and the grim covering the Super Mutant Dens are non-existing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they’re deranged junkies like the Fiends, I prefer raiders who actually feel like humans instead of weird goblin people. I get marking the edge of your territory as a warning, but keeping rotting corpses randomly strung up inside your house to attract rats and roaches, spread diseases, and stink up the place is just weird. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Good Doctor Posted May 13 Author Share Posted May 13 The line between Fallout and TES gets blurred more every day. Except at this point, TES might be a better fantasy and a better sci-fi than Fallout. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay maybe the meat hooks should be relegated to artistic liscense but it doesn't change the fact the raiders camps like way less tribal and grim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is very clean and the colors are bright and saturated. Would be one thing if we were in parts of the NCR or Strip, but it is pretty weird in the devastated ruins of Boston. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish they’d try to tell, like, one good story, instead of every single thing they release being marketed as: "Look at this cool new robot/mutant/laser gun we made! Look at these ghouls, they’re electric now! Look, another power armor model that was conveniently never mentioned until now!" It’s all so damn superficial. And they have completely given up on even pretending to care about Fallout being an RPG. It’s just Borderlands now, sold entirely on what quirky thing you‘re gonna shoot at next. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t mind the idea of it, but the execution is annoying. The rate at which the attacks happen could probably stand to be like 1/4 as often. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
