  • Skyrim is such a good discourse engine, it’s so fucking shallow that the only fleshed out character in the entire game has all these boosters (predictably)

    but also people taking the implemented design way too seriously—Serana is unmarriable because they didn’t have time to do that, they had Laura Bailey record most of the relevant dialogue. And even if you want to read her as asexual, asexual people can get married and sex is not a mechanic in (unmodded) skyrim.







  • I’m not sure how well known this is but Old World Blues (the Fallout mod for Hoi4) updated their Colorado content which vaugely follows design documents from Van Buren (Black Isle Fallout 3) but they’ve included something extra too

    way back in 2012 a portion of Van Buren content was adapted for Fallout New Vegas, in a mod called “Beyond Boulder Dome”, which has a few significant departures from those design documents. Especially the first part of it, an extremely weird and racist chapter with ghoulified US and Chinese troops fighting, for some reason, in the middle of the US. the chinese characters are voiced by white racists and it’s the worst part of an otherwise kind of put together mod.

    so Old World Blues has put that in, minus the racist bits I presume, into one of the factions in the area, with an opportunity to do Ghoul-Communism. honestly what the fuck
