This is a universe with faster than light travel and near infinite resources. There's a homeless shelter in one of the major cities. I helped them out. Why the fuck is there a homeless shelter in a universe with FTL and near infinite resources?

I'm starting to think Fallout under Bethesda isn't a satire and their writers are just incapable of imagining anything beyond capitalism.

Is it even the same writers as Fallout 3 though?

Same lead writer, Emil Pagliarulo, a hack of a writer who somehow has been the head of every Bethesda project since Oblivion.

Hey, the dark brotherhood questline in Oblivion was good (and that writer probably had nothing to do with it because he was too busy writing the doodoo-ass main plot).

He sucks so much. He must have compromat on Todd or something.

Fun fact:

He voices a character in Fallout 4. Specifically, he voices a character who, regardless of your interaction with him, calls you the R-slur yea
