A good a time as any to post this.I am disappointed that Bethesda never did any more Fallout comics.

riveting storytime so far
I think it's cause Bethesda's protective over Fallout's universe (or at least used to), All Roads was written by Avellone himself and was originally for a collector's edition I would imagine Dark Horse tried getting more stuff made to no avail Hell, Fallout doesn't have novels either unlike other vidya IP to build upon their respective settings
>>151978648>>151978652One more
>>151978660Bethesda's writers are literally incapable of keeping a story coherent enough for a novel. I'm surprised they even allowed this comic.
>>151978673I know I'm just busting your chops lol
>>151978652This is why I skip the front matter when I storytime
>>151978616Eh, I'm used to it at this point so I can get it done quicker than before actually

>>151978683I think this was just a happy accident from the extremely brief period they let Obsidian in the driver's seat, I think they chose New Vegas for season 2 out of spite. I'm still forever pissed they decided to nuke the NCR, they got done especially dirty.>>151978714The art in this is kinda eh but I love this first page, such a banger of an opener.
>>151978774
>>151978683>I'm surprised they even allowed this comic.Again Avellone himself wrote it and it was originally just a tie-in that wasn't even for stores initiallyIt was a pre-order bonus for a collector's editionIt's an accessory Better than Infinity Gem easter eggs but still, a pre-order incentive that was meant to help push sales for a larger, more popular product

>>151979245good stuff OP. always liked this comic.

>>151979153It takes every ounce of willpower to not just sneak headshot benny in his own casino and have the story play out as normal
>>151978598OFF TOPIC>>>/v/
>>151979784Nigga it's a fucking comic storytimeI hate off-topic threads as much as you and actively call them out but in this case it's legitimately /co/ as much as the Sonic comic storytimes
>>151979784This is a comics board ma'am.
>>151979232Loved how busy Freeside was here. It’s a shame the shitty Fallout Engine would never be able to do something like this in a satisfying manner. I always thought about trying to make a “Freeside Expanded” mod that chocked it full of bars, stores, and shanties, but I have little modding experience.
>>151979232This cover informed a lot of my feelings on the fallout setting and it's a big part of why I don't really like how the fallout TV show portrays shady sands as a basically pre-war place. Even after becoming "post-post apocalyptic" the world should still be a little run-down, have some kind of edge to it. Or if it is pristine, make it look different from pre-war architecture.
>>151979862>It’s a shame the shitty Fallout Engine would never be able to do something like this in a satisfying manner.It can on PC. There's mods for restoring New Vegas to how it was originally planned to be(with less loading zones). Vegas is chopped up, because of consolefags.There's probably a mod to fill the streets too.
>>151979979Meh. Lag or anything isn’t really my concern. The NPCs just aren’t built for lively interaction like i’d want. They could crowd the streets, but it would feel stiff, like the soldiers in McCarren or the Khans.
>>151979128>>151979114Interesting to read this in the context of the DLC with its "the hardest part is letting go" theme.
>>151980108Chris Avellone is anything but subtle.
>>151978779>I'm still forever pissed they decided to nuke the NCR, they got done especially dirty.Absolutely braindead take, Obsidian will never touch Fallout after their retarded CEO tried sue bethesda softworks and the whole nuking of california was the plot of the original Fallout 3 Van Buren
>>151980190Didn't Bethesda screw Obsidian out of bonuses? It's not a good company. They also did a hostile takeover of the Prey franchise, which resulted in the mostly finished Prey 2 to never be released.
>>151980243no
>>151980190Also, San Francisco isn't NCR territory. It's the territory of some survivors of a Chinese submarine.
>>151980248>Didn't Bethesda screw Obsidian out of bonuses>Avellone; "Yes, we didn't get our bonus due to a metacritic score, we never asked for the bonus tho"What argument are you trying to make?
>>151980268The bonus was part of the contract that was added by Bethesda, Obsidian didn't ask for it. And if you played the game on release, you'd know why they didn't get the bonus. The game was unplayable on PS3 and PC, the only somewhat playable version was the X360.Avellone spoke at lengths about this
>>151980190I'm fine with the NCR being taken out but the way they did it was absolutely retarded with their dumb as shit Vault Tec plot. Enclave remnants nuking the NCR makes sense, some mystery box bozo they made up for the shittily written show does not.
>>151980391>some mystery box bozo they made upYou mean the plot to Fallout 2, where some bozo showed up and nuked the former American government
>>151980404Some bozo showed up and nuked a single oil tanker using a reactor that was already there, not nearly as retarded as "somehow Vault Tec returned and they are on par with the Enclave too"
>>151980299And we know that Bethesda controls the QA process, not Obsidian. Which means that all the complaints about it still being buggy, is the fault of Bethesda.AKA Bethesda screwed Obsidian.The only justice is that they both got bought by Microsoft, so now they're both getting fucked.
>>151980877>And we know that Bethesda controls the QA processObsidian had their own QA, it was their dumbass CEO that intentionally ran over time limits hoping to get an extension from Bethesda>is the fault of BethesdaBoth Avellone and Sawyer said the fault was with Obsidian and it's retarded leadership. If you think this was Bethesda's fault, then you never played Alpha Protocol, which was in development for 4 years and still released as a broken piece of shit that was never fixed. Notice how people dropped the narrative that Bethesda screwed Obsidian after the Outer Worlds 1 and 2, and Avowed released.
All this arguing is fruitless.The bottomline is this:Bethesda sucks at writing, world building, and aesthetics.Obsidian, Avellone, Sawyer and all the others that gave 1, 2 and NV their special sauce will never make another fallout game.Fallout is dead and I refuse to give Todd wearing it's face like a mask any attention.
Thanks for storytiming this, OP. I've got a copy in storage somewhere, really wishing I had it with me now that its so out of print...
