With 12 generations, that would apply to pretty much everyone. It would be a statistical anomaly for anyone living today to have the full set of 4094 individual ancestors.
I think that the best solution is probably "best practices" and defederatiom used to enforce some sort of minimal Code of Conduct wrt the actual mechanics of running an instance.
In reality, this will be the end of small instances. Only feasible way to enforce this is federation whitelists, and it will be very hard to get whitelisted. Not necessarily a bad thing in the big scheme of things when we weight the positives and negatives, but still sucks for anyone "self hosting" an instance.
I agree. I have always thought that it ties into the ferengi lobe obsession. Big lobes is seen as "manly" in their culture, and the headskirt actually makes the lobes stand out more. Then there are ferengi who feel like they don't need to make their lobes stand out for various of reasons.
Considering that Bethesda doesn't seem to have enough people to work full time with two major releases simultaneously, giving Fallout to other studios wouldn't be that far fetched. Otherwise Microsoft would have to wait for Elder Scrolls 6 release to have a full team working on a Fallout game, and that release window is rumoured to be 5-6 years from now. So 8+ more years without a real main series game in one of their big franchises seems like bad business...
Interesting thing is that Microsoft has the key building blocks from Interplay era under their banner already. Through Obsidian they have Tim Cain, Chris Jones and Feargus Urquhart, who lead the first two Fallout games. inExile has Brian Fargo, the original idea man of the series. And Bethesda has the IP. They could really get the original team together to cook up a new game.
It also has a cheater ending. Basically there is a fight you shouldn't be able to win and should retreat, but if you manage to win, the game ends and even calls you out as a cheater.
