Small rant, but my mods are basically big rants, so I know I got an audience for this shit.
Why isn't Obscurum III happening on Fallout 4? A few reasons.
First reason is volumetric. Relativity.
If you mix one part coca cola, and nine parts gin, you're not drinking a soft drink. Things are their volume.
As such, New Vegas Nexus is a modding site with some porn. Meanwhile, Fallout 4 is a porn site with some mods. I have nothing against porn (actually that's not true, I'm a feminist so I have a lot of criticisms against how the sex industry harms both men and women, but that only applies to most porn. Not all of it. The hobbyist kind is mostly harmless), but I am not a porn maker. So it's not my platform.
Second reason is that you guys deserve it more. Fallout 4 Nexus has people who sent me threats, and abusive comments, and WAAAY too much racism for my comfort. New Vegas Nexus treats me well so I feel more comfortable being here.
Third reason is that the CK is hopelessly bugged and stalls every facet of development. I don't know who coded that thing, but I suspect it involved a thousand chimps with an equal amount of typewriters.
Fourth reason is that everything in the Creation Engine looks like it's made out of plastic. Which is weird. I prefer to make things weird myself, thank you very much.
Fifth reason is that not every one of you can run Fallout 4, or even afford it, and I don't leave any fans behind.
Sixth reason is that I don't feel like a list is all that complete without at least six reasons.
Seventh reason is because I'm sort of labouring the point about the sixth reason.
Eighth reason is that New Vegas is WAAAY more fun. Only thing that I truly get entertained by in Fallout 4 is settlement building, and much like Minecraft, that gets old. Even with my autism.
Ninth reason is the ice-laden hellscape where traitors go.
Tenth reason is because I learned so much from Pandemic, and that knowledge isn't applicable with Fallout 4, I'd just make the same mistakes again and end up with the same instability that Pandemic suffered.
Eleventh reason is that Fallout 4 has far less modder's resources because some people aren't as kind and generous as, say, me. You should hear some of the PM discussions I have with those modders. I really have to bite my tongue to keep from screaming "OH GET OVER YOURSELF YOU BLOODY ELITIST!"
But I stay cool.
Twelfth reason is because Pandemic sort of laid the groundwork with the social commentary. I hope to use that momentum to fully indoctrinate you all into my terrorist sleeper cell.
So, yeah. Long live death, and thank you for reading.

And either way it doesn't matter because they're both ultimately intended to justify economic violence against marginalised segments of society.
