      I know, and I’ll allow that I’m not being very tidy in my rhetoric but the point stands that if you’re writing a FO:NV show, you could easily pick the game ending that suits whichever story you’re trying to tell with the show.

      I was trying to connect that dot (my response to his quote) to my other grievances with how the Bethesda house style deemphasizes textual storytelling in favour of commercially safe gameplay loops and more environmental storytelling that, even when well done, isn’t very meaningful on its own.
