I have to disagree on the issue of a voiced protagonist in Fallout 4. I have not completed the main story yet, but so far all of my story engagements have been far more effective than in previous Bethesda entries. I should add that I was very skeptical about the whole VO thing when it was...

Just to clarify the point of fact, I do not condone any type of DRM, even down to registration keys. I can see where the point may have been muddled, as I should have indicated the answer was to your final question. Admittedly, this has not always been my stance, but within the last couple of...

Point of fact, I did not say that I was okay with registration codes. Please re-read your question, and my answer. I've already conceded that I can come up with various counterpoints to support my argument, but I have no desire to. DRM is odious, and attaching it to entertainment software...
