I f*king love how censoring curse words has become the new crsing for the internet!
Used to be that cursing was a way to show your disdain for having restrictions placed on your freedom of expression. Now cursing without censorship is considered "polite internet speech" and adding an * is offensive and uncouth. Your right to express yourself how you choose be d*mned!
Not that I'm fully on board with the theory, but you might be surprised how often "solving" a high profile case is placed above actually getting the right man.
This is a publicity nightmare for the police, and getting someone in custody "achieves" placating the public and key stakeholders.
Repeating things about this kids views on the Uni-bomber and referring to his writings as a manifesto "achieves" diminishing his status as a folk hero.
So while I won't endorse any particular theory until more evidence comes out, it wouldn't be the first time putting a scapegoat in jail was deemed more important than letting people think the "perp" got away. Even if the hypothetical real shooter kills again, controlling the narrative can be it's own goal in cases like this.
Not that I specifically disagree with anything you said. But reviewers loved to call Skyrim "as wide as an ocean, but as deep as a puddle" as well. And while Starfield suffers from a worse case of this, it's hard to argue this hasn't been Bethesda's main problem for a long while now.
Maybe this flaw finally caught up to Bethesda thanks to the march of time. But gotta hand it to em, they had a great run for a team the refuses to change with the times.
Idk man, the people with no friends and the people with a lot of friends and even the people with a middle amount of friends seem to follow a standard distribution of personalities.
Some awkward people and some charismatic people just suck. Some awkward people and some charismatic people are awesome. But most of all, people are just kinda shades of in-between.
Its alright. Has a lot of fun moments, sometimes tries to hard and falls on its face. 6 or 7 outta 10.
It has a lot of fun with its roots as part of the Bethesda games, so if that is what you think of as Fallout, it gets bonus point. It takes a bit of a steaming dump on its roots as part of Interplay Fallout, so if that's your frame of reference, loses some points.
All in all, worth watching, but only good in the context of "for a show about a video game".
Still, because of the very opinionated fanbase, it's either the best or worst thing ever depending on who you ask.
And when the Settings app has even 70% feature parity, I'll stop crying about control panel.
