Even then honestly, Mass Effect came our in 2007, Fallout 4 was 2015. Mass Effect was about a specific character that yes you were supposed to be able to shape and mold, but the expectation that the Fallout series had built up was for you to be basically anyone. And to my recollection 4 did nothing to temper that expectation going in with their new dialogue system and voiced protagonist.
Right? So-called “Cinematic Dialogue System”
The Dialogue:
Except on few occasions, I felt the same with Mass Effect:
a) [PARAGON] space hero response. b) [RENEGADE] asshole space hero response. c) (broods).
Even worse it locked you out of responses unless you picked red or blue always. Idk it annoyed me, playing chaotic neutral.
