>spends 10-15 hours a day in the dry, blistering heat of an actual desert conducting patrols or hunting down criminals while wearing a gas mask, a bigass trenchcoat and heavy pantsAre these guys trying to die of heat stroke or what? I understand your body can adapt to temperatures but this is just crazy.
>>733743485what do they eat tier autism
>it's an open desert so it must be hotamerican education
>>733743485>living corpsesdamn that's crazy>aliensdamn that's crazy>no heatstrokeerm what the le heck???
>>733743631>Nevada isn't hotJesus fucking christ I'm literally going to murder every single thirdie that dares to ever post shit like this on this website
>>733743659Just because there's supernatural elements doesn't mean there isn't thermodynamics and their biological effects.
You never have to go to the bathroom either
s'air conditioned
>>733743631If you look at the annual temps of Las Vegas, it's really only appropriate clothing for the winter.
>>733743485>heavy pantsDon't Rangers literally wear skinny jeans?
>>733743956yeah, isn't there a big fan/power unit thing on the back of the armor? the duster even has a specific cutout for it so the user doesn't look like a hunchback (style is important).
Same with most of the armor in Skyrim. Motherfuckers would freeze to death in this getup
>>733743485imagine a cute tomboy ranger stripping off all that armor after a long day sweating in the sun haha
>>733744491TES is alot more fantastical to be fair. I can buy Nords thinking nothing of the cold air and saying something like this. Their racial already has frost resistance.
>>733743631>110 degrees in the summer actually isn't hot you seekek, maybe you should go to an American desert once you're done posting in the American language on an American board about a hobby made by Americans in a thread about an American game set in post-nuclear America.
>>733743874The nuclear winter prevented global warming so nevada never became hot.
>>733744104It's just a backpack with a shitty texture.
>>733743714>Jesus fucking christ I'm literally going to murder every single thirdie that dares to ever postftfy
a fan
>>733743485I mean if troops in the middle east could do it.
>>733744049Just regular jeans, and that is something people bitch about not realizing the utility of it. Not to mention your average ranger doesnt look like that, that is a veteran ranger that came from Arizona. Most wear patrol armor or what Jackson and Ghost wear.
>>733743485Having exposed skin in the naked desert sun is undesirable
>>733743485...are you really arguing about logic in a game with mutant monsters and talking zombies?
>>733747053adding to this the body armor they wear probably has a lot of nooks and crannies for windblown sand to get into and speed up the wear and tear, so an easier to replace duster over the top makes sense.
>>733744640>American languageSpeech check failed.
>>733743485The gas mask is impractical tacticool but the rest of the gear is fine, though cumbersome. The desert does likely get way colder during the night so it's not that bad.>>733744491Nords have cold resistance to the point that frost spells literally deal less damage to them.
>>733743485People who actually live in desert climates, not counting retirees and Las Vegas tourists, cover themselves from head to toe. It doesn't matter if it's hot or cold. The biggest enemy to your wellbeing is exposed skin, especially prolonged sun exposure. When your skin is covered, perspiration has time to sit and conduct heat away from your body. Sweat on exposed skin evaporates immediately, facilitating more sweating and rapid dehydration. When I was in the service working on the flightline, it was comical to dudes rolling up the sleeves and forgoing sunblock at the beginning of their shift. Two hours into a 12 hour shift and the already in a sun-baked stupor and on the verge of heat exhaustion. The thicker the clothing, the longer your perspiration can do its job.
>>733748397there is a huge difference between covering your skin in desert wear to avoid sun exposure and wearing full blown riot gear. i have literally never seen anyone go outside in summer dressed in clothes anywhere near that heavyt. shitskin who lived in egypt and the UAE for 27 years
Not a heavy trenchcoat for winter, a duster, which is iconic wild west attirebecause new vegas is has wild west themes
>>733747081you're right just do anything with no logical consistency
>>733744640Yee haw cowboy
New Vegas takes place during the winter
>>733744021>>733743714but isn't there snow in the game, what about jacobstown? I think the map is a stand in for a much larger area
>>733744021To be fair, the in-game clock starts off in October.By the time Veteran Rangers show up, a lot of players on their first playthrough will be in November at least.
>>733749771Jacobstown is on Mt. Charleston.
>>733744621Do all interior decorators develop this kind of tolerance to the cold?
>>733743485There is no lore to contradict the ability to have water pack built into the mask. the NCR doesn't just use shit they salvage. They've been manufacturing new shit for almost 2 centuries at this point.
>>733749771>I think the map is a stand in for a much larger areaYeah, Clark county Nevada. The low in the summers at night is still >70F and is is nearly always >100F from June through August. Only in a few elevated spots like Mt. Charleston does the temperature ever drop below freezing. The Rangers are most definitely overdressed, they'd be dropping of heatstroke within a couple hours. Being "tough" or "used to it" doesn't matter when your body is overheating; it's like saying you're tough so the radiation won't hurt you.
>>733751327Its winter
>>733746846They did try to avoid the heat there, there's a funny book about a british soldier's time in iraq that talked about the heat, they would sit on AC'd buses going round the camp. They got rid of them after they found a stupid amount of men sitting in them
>>733743874Yes it does actually
>>733751534October is fall, but nonetheless, I really doubt the Rangers were even conceptualized to have summer uniforms. I don't care, their uniforms look good and are meant to be cowboy-esque, but they would absolutely be suffering and dying out in the desert with all that shit on.
>>733743659>mutations due to radiation>extraterrestrials>no explanation except "don't think about it bro its just a game bro even though I jerk off about how well written it is and how much care and thought was put into the greatest rpg of all time"...lol
>>733751952The mutations are also due to FEV not just radiation
>>733747081Niggercattle like this are why everything is so dogshit right now.
>>733752215>FEVReminder that the Brotherhood of Steel started pre-war when the first Maxson, an Army officer, discovered what was going on at Mariposa, mutinied against the US with his men, and executed all the scientists before sealing the place up.That's why the BoS's mission is to keep advanced tech locked away.
>>733752706God the writing for these factions used to be so complex and interesting. Fucking Bethesda...
>>733743485I was born and raised in the Mojave desert and I have not worn shorts since I was like 6The sun will fry your legs if you are white.
>>733752884It's not like NV was much better to the Brotherhood.Fallout 1's canon ending had the Brotherhood helping everyone with the leftover muties, becoming a major research hub in Cali that stays out of politics, and slowly letting the tech they were keeping safe back into the world to people who were wise enough to know how to use it responsibly. NV then decided that, no, they aren't a peaceful and helpful group anymore. They're gonna randomly go full hardline "no tech for anyone" and go to war with the NCR.
>>733743485>the TV show made it canon that these dudes disbanded and are now just random ronin wandering the wastes because Shady Sands got nuked >despite the fact that they were already the Desert Raiders before the Rangers>despite the fact it makes no sense that an empire collapses after one Capitol city gets destroyed I am still genuinely baffled at how shit that tv show is
>>733753731Wasnt that just a single chapter in california? They basically just semi integrated into the NCR in Fallout 2 it its canon that they spread everywhere in separate chapters. The New Vegas chapter was just especially retarded
>>733743485It's not that hard to be in a desert once you get acclimated to them.
>>733753731>They're gonna randomly go full hardline "no tech for anyone" and go to war with the NCR.after they got buckbroken by the Enclave offscreen in Fallout 2
>>733743485Wearing a duster and loose fitting pants is reasonable in the desert. It keeps the sun off the skin. But yeah the gas mask would be killer lol.
I mean it's not entirely comparable but I used to spend midday to sunset playing around in the mojave when I was a kid. You just need water tbqh.
>>733743485The suits have nuclear powered air conditioner.
>>733754384The California branch destroyed the NCR's gold supply. They then locked themselves in their bunker underground after losing ground everywhere else. The entire West Coast branch of the BOS is at war with either the NCR or Caesar's Legion who take pieces of their armor as trophies. Not to mention Caesar knows what a sole Paladin is capable of.
>>733743631>American deserts aren't hotEurosharter education everyone.
>>733743485>NEET doesn't realize humans can survive and labor in a desert.
>>733754579Damn really? Thats retarded. For some reason I remember the BoS playing a much more passive role in Fallout 2 but helping the NCR while they were more in decline implying that they were just going to integrate. I thought thr chapter in NV was the part of the brotherhood that didnt want to integrate and became its own thing
>>733754270everytime I see someone post new info about the plot/lore from the TV show the more I want to see on the news that Emil killed himself after killing Todd.
>>733754270>Desert Raiders*Desert Rangers before NCR Rangers
>>733755252>Desert RangersNo anon you meant to say the Desert Rapers
>>733754384>a single chapter in california?Anon, that "single chapter" WAS the Brotherhood. The whole thing. The entire faction was the one group in Cali who were decently good guys in FO1 and FO2.The canon goes that the groups in the Mojave and Capital Wasteland only left Cali to go to those places post-FO2 because the FO2 era Brotherhood got scared by the Enclave showing up with spooky advanced vertibirds and power armor while the BoS was sitting around stagnating feeling comfortable because they thought they were the only guys with high level tech so they wanted to spread out and hunt for more rogue tech.The later games just make them all hardliner assholes for no real reason.
>>733743631I wish every eurotard were forced to live in the american southwest under their current worldview delusions as they would all die of heatstroke in less than 3 days
>>733744491bro have you ever heard of Finns
>>733743714Maybe the bombs fucked up the atmosphere and it's not that hot anymore
>>733751327New Vegas starts in October. At night, it can get to to the mid 60s. In December through February it gets to the high 30's to mid 50's. When I lived in the the Mojave, you'd often see people wearing damn near winter gear when the temps are in the mid 60s.
>>733743485Back to back daily new Vegas fallout threads
>>733743485Shit game anyway
>>733751584Okay then just look at the rangers of the past.
>>733744491Minnesotans do this
>>733754270I wonder how someone could fuck up something as simple as Fallout but then I remember that the people that make this shit are the most bottom of the barrel retards that struggle to do the bare minimum and only are where they are because they knew a guy. Imagine that an entire industry of people that are the retarded cousin of the boss who the rest of the crew makes fun of and makes them do busy work but this time they’re the entire crew. Grim indeed.
>>733748397I’ve lived in Vegas, people love tanning you retard
>>733753731>They're gonna randomly go full hardline "no tech for anyone" and go to war with the NCR.You could legitimately write this well, since the NCR were already doing an any% speedrun of Pre-War America's fall. I could see a fed up BoS getting a wild hair and deciding to nip Apocalypse 2, Nuclear Boogaloo in the bud if the NCR government was being retarded enough or they caught wind of WMD shenanigans. Issue is we don't get a chance to really explore any of this, and the New Vegas branch suffers the face of the DC Chapter of all their potentially interesting stuff taking place off-screen and pre-player. Same as it ever was, I guess.
>>733752884Tranny detected
>>733743485NCR are underfed and underweight wimps who live off corn when they can get it. there's enough room in those recycled pre-war uniforms to fit a second person.
>>733743485>NCR is buck broken from a single nuke>Caesar's Legion are lobotomised retards>Mr House is le evil nowIs the TV show basically Todd's personal hate letter to New Vegas?
>>733757885More the west coast as a whole. Welcome to Fallout land where the key word is F&M are supreme.
>>733743485The fact the NCR’s elite troops utilize “riot gear” cements the fact they’re an occupying oppressing force needlessly forcing restrictions upon a populace they have no bond with. They are tyrants.
>>733757958Shit bait
>>733757885Not New Vegas specifically anon, it’s his personal 275 million dollar fuck you to Chris and Brian.
>>733757885>factions that worship the Old World are pathetic, stupid, weak, evil, and dyingthat sounds like it's pretty in line with New Vegas's vision to me, hoss
>>733757885>>Mr House is le evil nowWhen was he not though?
>>733758067>that sounds like it's pretty in line with New Vegas's vision I could give a long and detailed explanation on why this isn’t the case but that would just be wasted since you will just ignore and cry nu uh like a toddler so I’ll just call you a faggot and tell you to suck and and be a brand worshiping faggot on Reddit.
>>733758152When he wasn't putting mind control chips in people's brains?
>>733757958their armor is made in the NCR and the LAPD riot gear that it's based on was military combat armor also used in the war
>>733744640>american languageand as we know, the main lesson of fallout is how good american exceptionalism is
>>733754779>incel whose never left his house doesn’t know Vegas gets to 120 degrees in the summer
At this point I will just bide my time until Bethesda crashes and burns and Fallout will be either be sat on by kikecrosft or be pawned off to someone else. Wasteland hasn’t been ruined yet, though 3 did get a bit too much at times.
>>733758494Underrail mogs nu Fallout so hard
>>733743631how will eurocucks ever live this down?
>>733758554That just comes with the territory, CRPGs are able to do more than ARPGs due to not having to add in bullshit. Just have the occasional voiced NPC and you’re pretty much down for anything. And normalfags get tricked into buying it and never getting past the prologue due to lack of attention span and inability to roleplay.
>>733758554Love how bonkers the lore can get in that game
>>733758754>mfw Six and Tanner are evolved humans from outside this plane of existence and outright space-time fighting a shadow war against each other
>>733758554Underrail 2 is the only game im actually looking forward to
>>733758928>shit talk Six>he literally just kills you
>>733759098>outpower his tech>seethes and acts like you're the one who attacked him
>>733758554Underrail doesn’t have Fat Freddy
>>733758754It truly is the ultimate autism sim
