Someone who doesn't know anything about fallout shouldn't be writing for a fallout game. Because the last time someone tried to write for a fallout game without any knowledge of the series, Bethesda's fallout 3 happened. They made so many mistakes, so many things that could have been easily avoidable if someone in their writing department actually played fallout 1 or 2.

Truth be told, Bethesda has a history of contradicting established lore either in an attempt to increase sales (cyrodiil's jungle environment and Asian cultural influences being completely ignored and retconed out, and the lack of consistency of skyrim's climate between games, etc), or were too lazy to look it up before they started writing the quests and dialog (certain aspects of nord culture are missing completely or were only lazily implemented, certain defining characteristics of the imperial city and other cyrodilic cities are gone and are never mentioned again, certain aspects of dunmer culture are never brought up despite the situation demanding it, the list goes on and on).

So I guess since Bethesda couldn't stay on track with the lore, I shouldn't be so pessimistic about some random guy writing for a fallout game since Bethesda is known for that. as a precaution someone whos planning on writing for a series they have never played, or played but don't remember much of it, should play the earlier games so they don't make stupid mistakes. If anything, Bethesda is a testament about how simple mistakes can be completely ignored by the writing team and the higher ups don't bother changing or removing them, which is why each writer needs to make sure they aren't making continuity errors by at least fact checking on Google or something before they submit it.

Jesus h. Christ, I can't wait until this gets released. Reading around the design documents has both ****** me off that the original didn't get released so close to its completion, and exited that I will eventually get to play it probably sometime in the next decade (lol jk, but srsly). Keep working on this hexer
