This is the bit that put me off entirely. FO4 was supposed to be an iteration of (if not an improvement on) FO3/FO:NV. It was supposed to be a first person RPG. But there’s enough dialogue where what you say just doesn’t matter at all. It was the inverse of the mass effect 3 ending made into a game where the options you choose don’t affect the dialogue and usually result in the same colour too.

Honestly I’m upset it sold as well as it did, because it reinforced the idea that people don’t buy fallout games as role-playing games any more.

Unless they accidentally include the .exe file on release again

It was a step down in some instances and didn’t provide modding tools out of the gate. Modders are actively shunning it last I heard. More people are playing the original than 2

A lot of this is in the “it might be fine” territory, but weaponisable laws concern me. It’s not like public trust in the police is particularly high right now either for good reason.

It’s work safety attire. When men wear it it’s “why are you wearing those work clothes” women can wear them because no one will assume they’re work clothes because women don’t (normally/traditionally) do those jobs.

In the same way that men don’t wear suits in a casual setting they don’t wear other work attire in a casual setting.

Oh, he will. He will. Just give it time.

The issue I have is unintended listening to deliberately inflammatory jokes between friends. And that any reported incident, crime or not goes on a permanent public record.

To be honest it’s not. It’s extreme and the content of the bill itself breaks the very law it describes.

Basically if you say any comment about a singled out group and anyone over heard you and takes offence you can br prosecuted.

So you’re in your own home, on the phone, talking about how all black guys have massive dicks. A neighbour overhears, gets offended and reports you. Even if you don’t get arrested, prosecuted or go to jail that incident goes on your permanent record.
