>You're a hero.... and you have to leaveName one vidya moment more kino than this.
why is this the most punchable face in all of vidya
>>730908448shootting him dead outside the vault and watching his corpse collapse and twitch at the entrance
>>730908448The moment right after
>>730909039If I remember right, you need Bloody mess or evil karma to get that. It's not a choice but your character does it automatically. It's kind of a "good" ending of sorts and justified. You saved the vault, but you iced the Overseer, and now the vault can decide what to do next. I know there's canon explanations, but I do think it's possible that the Vault could see this as a murder and order you to be arrested and this could cause problems.
>>730908448Fallout 3 did it much more kino
>>730910157I was gonna say that but I figured this could be a good thread.
>You're not a hero... and you have to leave
>>730910032thought you could just target him on the way out.
>>730910380
>>730908448It makes a lot of sense and I agree with the overseer. Besides, I made a name for myself in the wasteland, out there I am a celebrity.
>>730912651That froot loop needs a 10mm to the dome. He's holding back the vault and its people's. There's no reason why every Vault couldn't end up being like Vault City
>>730912813Didn't want to use the GECK.
>>730908448Not sure if it's more kino than that, but there's also>Arcanumthe panarii thing or the gnome thing, take your pick>Alpha Centauriplanet is alive>colony shipyou had arrived for at least 80 years
>>730908448Four seconds later>MaaaaaaaaybeForlorn, but not looking back either
>>730912885Honestly one of the best endings to any game ever. You could never get away with this nowadays because players throw a fit if their PC isn't getting their dick sucked
>>730912885A completely untethered (usually for the first time in their life) protagonist disappearing into the unknown is one of my favorite endings.
>>730912813A totalitarian shithole with a caste system?
>>730908448I can't, king
>>730908615>>730909039good job proving him right
>>730912860>Alpha Centauri>spoilerI don't remember that one.
>>730908448https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eB1LbeusZa0I couldn't care less what you think of FFX, but this had me cheering at my screen as a kid
>>730913108>Who are you?>I am the creator of a television show that gives hope and joy and inspiration to millions.>Then who am I?>You're the star.>Was nothing real?>You were real. That's what made you so good to watch. Listen to me, Truman. There's no more truth out there than there is in the world I created for you. The same lies, the same deceit. But in my world you have nothing to fear. I know you better than you know yourself.>You never had a camera in my head!>You're afraid. That's why you can't leave. It's okay, Truman. I understand. I have been watching you your whole life. I was watching when you were born. I was watching when you took your first step. I watched you on your first day of school. The episode when you lost your first tooth. You can't leave, Truman. You belong here...with me. Talk to me. Say something...say something, god damn it! You're on television. You're live to the whole world!>....>....in case I don't see you, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!
>>730908532Eric Sparrow is more punchable
>>730914269did you play the game?
Even if you don't kill the overseer, doesn't he end up getting killed by a faction who want to leave the vault?
>>730914867Ohhhhhh I remember now
>>730913003Not with AAA or jap games
>>730914446Now why didn’t the SMT games have funny yellow man act like that instead of a retarded thug
>>730913989>if you kill your enemies, they win, the postThey're kicking you out anyway. Why not kill him? They can't banish you any harder.>muh decency>muh morals>you're brownSee pic
>>730910157Yeah, because I could sabotage the vault in vengence, shoot Overseer Almodovar dead, and gaslight Amata into thinking it was her dad that set it to self-destruct.
>>730915732But who will make the cinema of Spain?
>>730908448>dude little kids might look up to youWhy didnt they just think of the player character saying the wasteland was awful and how much he suffered and constantly almost died and shit, none of them will know the wiser>uhhh yeah the entire wasteland is full of monsters and everything is ruined
>>730913989his point wasnt that youre evil but that you will make the other vault dwellers wanna go out on adventures. If anything this will scare them into sticking with the vault.
>>730913989The other Vault Dwellers kill him anyway.
>>730908448
>>730908532
>>730910157There would be more dignity working in the call centers scamming old people than shilling for bethesda as you do.
>>730915785https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvdw3CyEGFQGo to 6:50 if you don't want to watch the whole thing. The player was quite literally not wanted in the vault by certain parties. You were sent to die.
>>730908448Independent ending in VTMB when you stab lacroix and his greedy ass opens the sarcophagus
>>730917717>vault suits are extrudentI don't get that part.
>lets discuss the economic output of the Vault 8 during the Great War
>>730908448>hey so where did that guy go who saved all our lives and the infrastructure of our vault?>w-what oh uhhh I think he said he didn't want to return here>wow the outside is that great!? Let's all go>n-no it's horrible and dangerous! you can't we have everything here!>then why didn't the hero return or come say goodbye to us/>...They really didn't think this one out
>>730913989His point is that you will make others want to leave the vault, not that you are a killer
>>730915980Wouldn't the fact that one of their own who saved the vault not coming back, saying hello, or even a goodbye speech raise more questions than answers? Like I get the overseer is a position of power but dude literally pulled a trust me bro to everyone looking forward to the person who saved the vault returning.It's the logical speech for a bittersweet ending but in the end it literally makes everyone in the vault question what the fuck the problem is
>>730918836>>730915980Never stated, but the vibe of the vaults give off a closed religious community in the original. The Overseer looks like an old mormon or Amish leader. The vault is stable and everything proceeds as planned forever and that's just how he likes it. He's a very good Overseer and does his job well. A little too well you'll see.
>>730918617I don't think that everyone knew about the water chipUsually thing like that are kept to the inner circle type people
>>730919078I'm pretty sure every NPC in the vault in F1 will make comments regarding it.
>>730918836maybe but he can just as easily say "oh he tripped on a rock and died lol" and 1 or 2 people might be inquisitive or try to venture out but not as many compared to a heroic epic inspiring all the kids.
>>730919078I could be wrong but don't people when walking around the vault after returning with the chip have dwellers comment on your adventure and return? it's been a while but it seemed like it wasn't a secret, now the mutant/master thing? yeah I guess that could have been a secret though the game ends right there so impossible to tell.>>730919174>he tripped and died on the way back to his home planet>Wow we should go avenge him or at least get the body back for a proper memorial>n-no
>>730919078>>730919156They start rationing water, so everyone has to know it's broken.
>>730919058>Never stated, but the vibe of the vaults give off a closed religious community in the original. The Overseer looks like an old mormon or Amish leader.Don't the people basically know shits' fucking up though? I could be wrong but I think there is dialogue that directly goes against this theory when you return with the water chip and how people are glad to see you.
>>730910157Objectively correct
>>730912813I mean they lynch him after he goes back in and tell him while half leave to follow you.
>>730909039Why does he say that
>>730918617It was more along the lines of>hey where is the hero?>I told him to leave>WHAT?! WHY?!>well the outside world is dangerous and having him here may lead to people wanting to leave thinking that because he survived it would be fine>uh uh *picks up rope*>and we can’t have that, we need to stand united and ensure the future of the vault and its dwellers>sure thing *begins to tie a noose* >say jacoren can you go get us some nuka colas we need to plan the celebration for the vault being saved>o-oh sure thing *overseer walks off*>so we’re lynching that retard, right pat?>you guys can do that I’m going out there to find him
>*scratches helmet*
>>730908448>You're a hero.... and you have to leave>we can't have you disrupting our evil operations
No, Overseer, YOU should go find a Water Chip!
>>730918836This is actually how Arroyo forms between 1 and 2. a bunch of the other people in 13 followed the dweller and they formed the village. Overseer was always retarded.
>>730908448Wouldn't it be better for the overseer to let the protagonist in and warn the other dwellers of the dangers of the wasteland?
>>730914971Yeah, people found out and he got lynched shortly after.
>>730921001But muh Vault Tec experiment!
>>730908448not a lot my friend, not a lot.. but this one too have a special place in my heart
>>730921171oh yeah, this too
>>730910613So no? That's bullshit that you just have to accept it and be a good boy unless you've been an evil selfish bastard for the past 6 months.
>>730921082but at that time the outside wasteland was known to all the vault dwellers, it wasn't even a question that the outside existed. It was simply a matter of what the environment and hazards were...The correct course of action would have been: Hey listen need you to come in and say some goodbye's you see you're a hero but what if you stay? The harsh actions of the wasteland has changed you, I can tell. What if those traits follow you into the vault? what then? Can you live with that? I think we both know what needs to be said and done. Would have been a far better element of writing
>>730909039>BoS acting like frat guy jocks murdering for no reasonWhat is this woke slop
>>730916634Piano Verso is the opposite of kino. It's like ludohorrorniko
>>730921303It's the more logical ending in theme but I'm afraid it's not really as memorable in quote.
>>730918550Vault suits fill up all the gaps.
This is good... isn't it ?
>>730921278reading is hard
>>730909039I don't remember Ian being able to wear power armor.
I was reading up on the lore and read that Tel Aviv was bombed like 20 years before everyone else. I wonder if that was done so they had an out for people saying “the Jews did it”.
>>730924941>Jews, Europe and the Middle East went up in glass>US goes full isolationist but is still on friendly terms with Russia>Chyna becomes the big bad by defaultCnC Generals would eventually take a similar route. Right down to the Europeans being irreverent because they're weak as shit.
>>730924941the largest jewish city is NYC though
>>730908448I never kill him.
>>730924941Nah, nuking the Middle East is just an easy way to show that your setting is at "countries getting glassed" levels of fucked without actually triggering global nuclear war or removing any story-relevant actors. Deus Ex and Cyberpunk did the same thing, for example.
>>730925157plus everyone knows its coming anyway
>>730925157>Deus Ex and Cyberpunk did the same thing, for exampleIn the later I heard the US was essentially boiled down to a hundred million give or take. With those living in the setting essentially being the lucky ones that didn't draw the irradiated straws. Fallout despite Todd and co's retardation still had potential for civilizations growing and thriving outside of the main areas if you count OWB in HoI4 as a starting point. Vast enough where cottage level industries can rise in the wake of the industrial collapse but still enough raw materials to reach pre industrial capacity. See NCR and the various entities within it before they got genie bottle'd unceremoniously.
>>730908448>Name one vidya moment more kino than this.with the risk of derailing the thread by mentioning it, the Mercenary Tribunal in Disco Elysium is very high up on the list of vidya kino
>>730908448when the retarded froggy eyed girl of the show punched the ghoul after being used for 9999th time
>>730924941The more I read on the background of Fallout lore pre-nuke, the more I'm convinced that the nukes were a salvation. US gov essentially being run openly by the Fallout version of the Illuminati, corporations running experiments on citizens for sports, people living in squalor with plagues and wars rampaging everywhere, and the pervasive doom of resource depletion all over the world, adding to the desperation.
>>730908448The End Poem from Minecraft. It's generic but that's the charm of it. It fits all playthroughs and generally every single videogame.Wake up.
