‘Thou shalt get sidetracked by bullsh*t every goddamn time’

Yes, like most of the gaming world, I decided to head back into Bethesda's 2015 dystopian RPG after watching the Fallout series on Amazon Prime.

Bethesda itself seems to have come under a lot of scrutiny since they were purchased by Xbox. Just last week news broke that multiple of their studios would be closing, including Tango Gameworks, the creators of Hi-Rush and Arkane Austin, the creators of Redfall. In addition, the divisive nature of Starfield and the apparent failure of Fallout 76, leave many gamers questioning if Bethesda still has the charm and magic of the days of Skyrim and the earlier Fallout games.

However, after watching the Fallout show, it reminded me how special, weird and wonderful this universe is and had me chomping like a Ghoul on recently rotting flesh, to get back into its universe.

So, let's discuss if Bethesda still has the secret RPG sauce and why I decided to play Fallout 4 and not the beloved Fallout: New Vegas in this week’s episode of the Beat Your Backlog Podcast.
