I have hope, and I will give it a chance, but honestly if the Halo show, Star Wars sequel trilogy (I will never not be salty about that), and seemingly everything nu-trek—whitewashing Khan, changing the look of Klingons, contradicting TOS’s explanation of the Federation’s prison system, and (recently) changing the year of the Bell Riots, among other things—is any indication, it will probably just be writers throwing lore out of the window when it isn’t conducive to what they want to write.
Sadly, with few exceptions, it seems the reality is like this:
Most writers in the past when the lore contradicts the story they want to write: “Let’s throw out our story and write another that respects the preestablished lore!”
Most writers today when the lore contradicts the story they want to write: “How dare it contradict my story! Throw out the preestablished lore!”
That being said, like I said at the top, I have hope, but only because shows like Andor and The Mandalorian gave me hope. And frankly they seem uncommon among the landscape of shows/movies with rich lorebases these days.
Fallout 76. It’s actually pretty fun as long as you have the capacity for a massive perspective change (and use mods lol).
And yes you can play solo. It’s a bit more difficult, but you can do it. Also, FO76 puts a lot more emphasis on survival simulation than previous games (except FO4 in Survival Mode, which I haven’t played in yet).
The former is a masterpiece and the latter I’m having fun with but required a massive perspective shift and 3 play attempts to do so compared to previous Fallout games (even FO4).
I don’t see the contradiction here. Right Person is just asking what Left Person’s beliefs on those matters are, not whether they believe those beliefs are objective.
