Lost it when I came near Helios One and told NCR trooper that I was hungry and thought it was a food factory.

Absolutely god damn brilliant in New Vegas. It's about subtle jokes hidden in dialogue directed at things you really shouldn't make fun of.ĭialogue writing.

Dark humor is not about pinnning an old lady's head on the wall and laughing about it. As you travel further and ask around, you realize that there is more to your package than meets the eye.Īnd Bethesda genuinely misunderstood what dark humor stands for.

In New Vegas you start off as a courier, hired to carry a mysterious package to the NV Strip. No need to mention that the said team can't hold back an invasion of cockroaches, or the fact that entire vault contains a single 10mm handgun.

I will admit, the scary parts of the game gave it an edge, but they were few and far between. A typical post-apocalyptic setting with a few FO1/2 aspects thrown in to give it the title.
