I think this is fair enough, given it's a Zero Punctuation review. And I think he nailed it when he said that it doesn't have much of an identity of its own.
As I said back here, "So my worry is that Starfield is just vanilla SF without any of the quirkiness, character, or personality that makes me love Fallout."
Fallout but takes itself more serious, I'd say. I have no love for the amount of silliness in Fallout after Bethesda took it over. The original Fallout had a better balance between seriousness and wackiness.
But each to their own. :)
I've been playing Fallout since Fallout. It's always had character.
Seems pretty subjective, I have finished the main quest in precisely one Fallout game, Fallout 3, and it took me years to do so. Not because I was lost in the map or side quests or anything, it just never grabbed me. Fallout 4 was the same, same with New Vegas (the one I probably played the least).
Maybe I'm just at a far end of the curve tho lol
I mean, yeah, different people like different things. I play them all and enjoy them all, but Fallout just has something that appeals to me more than Elder Scrolls or Starfield as a setting.
