>>741494692this. no wonder fallout fans are only ever either milennial soys or "alt right" trannies
>>741494692That mostly applies to 2 and NV
>>741494692Fallout as a franchise really does suck, doesn't it. To such a degree you can like individual games for completely different reasons if you have good taste.
Jewish Companion.
>>741494537I was defending the town from legion during Glanton quest mod and I didn't know that you could build the turrets so I fought them with some NPCs, Russell and Veronica. After the NPCs died and legion got into the city Veronica told me to bury her with a dress so I killed her myself because that was not the moment to be Reddit. Weird how that was like a decade ago or more.
>>741495003>that was like a decade agoBack when the internet pretended Someguy2000's mods were good.
>>741494997Had that Roberts/breeze body mod so the characters would be naked while undressed and I fucked up installing and made them with a hard on 100% of the time when naked. I was doing a legion playthrough with him as my companion and kept telling him I was going to backstab the legion eventually to keep him with me until before the dam when he said "that's it", gave me all the gear he was carrying including his clothes and left naked with an erection. I don't know why that was so funny.

The idea of a post-apocalyptic setting where every woman isn’t just a sex slave is unrealistic.
>>741494692Cool logo
>>741494537based
>>741495338I don't want too much realism in my post-apoc setting with talking zombies and magical virus that mutated the wildlife and plants to be monstrous.
made for legion breeding

>>741495338society will not just abandon the social constructs it built. If today's HR and tech firms are what makes the Vaulttec systems and training/educational/lifestyle programs they would be drinking the Blackrock Koolaid inside insulated bunkers for a hundred years or so. In fact it sounds like you're expecting society to revert to a social order while bemoaning that they're depicted following a preexisting social order.
>>741494537Faggot: The OP
>>741494537discussing quirky chungus is like discussing THC content in marijuana. New Vegas is like pot in 1980s, a mere drop compared to the absolute concentration we have today
>>741496041Focus, C. Benny's got the Platinum Chip and you know what that means.

>>741495932>>741495990thanks
>>741494537I met Felicia Day a few years ago. She's one of those vapid cunts who thinks that being 'quirky' is a substitute for having a personality
>>741496012>society will not just abandon the social constructs it built>when it abandons it every time some retard thinks he can change human nature
>>741495338>post-apocalypticIt's been 200 years since the first vault dweller came out of their bunker. Todd is just a hack.

>>741495758>>741495990Whedon and it's consequences is disaster for west media
>>741496368Ya I always found the ramshackle walls and huts built from haphazardly layered scrap metal corrugate and plywood to be very immersion breaking. Like I can buy using what you have a lot of lying around, but the idea that several generations have passed and everyone is still constructing makeshift settlements and homes like the bombs just dropped makes no sense. That's just one of the many immersion breaking details, though
>>741495494more believable than women holding on to any authority or social relevance outside of the most comfortable 1st world environment. why didn't they just make the powerful women some kind of mutant or cyborg?

>>741497002The idea we'd be perfectly able to form a modern day, especially current day, civilization after a nuclear apocalypse is laughable. Do you have any idea how much culture would be impacted by being reduced back to the most primitive societies or into bomb shelters for years on end until the radiation dissipated? The next generation would be deficient from a lack of sunlight. Not to mention extreme agoraphobia when time came that the outside was habitable.>>741497163you dumb motherfuckernuking those two places didn't nuke the entire country and force them into the equivalent of high-tech caves for the better part of a centuryyou muh post-modern I am so much smarter than everyone else wannabe oldfag retards don't know shit

>>741497157It's a shame, the game doesn't let you reunite Veronica with her dyke wife.
>>741497550you don't know fucking anythingholy hand grenade bullshit>>741497565why would you want to cuck yourself?
>>741497565i haven't played the game in a long time, why was the reason why she had lied to you about not being able to talk?
>>741497565That makes me irrationally angry. I don't fucking care about Veronica in the first place, but the fact that there's a secret ending to Dead Money if one's hated by the NCR but one absolutely cannot bring Veronica closure about Christine is insane to me.
>>741497345fallout isn't "from zero" anondid you forget the whole game or two that had a plot about GECKs, or the NCR going into the wastes as rando vault people and ending up a proper pre war civilization again
>>741497643She wasn't lying. Domino intentionally programmed the auto-doc he forced her in to sever and alter her vocal cords so she would sound like Vera Keyes. Domino knew Keyes' voice was the key to the Sierra Madre the entire time. Christine needed to heal up from the damage and repair before she could verbally communicate.
>>741494537Who is the best companion of all time in Fallout?

>>741497848Grampy Bone. Sulik is a bonus. Otherwise probably Raul or Cait.
>>741499304int max, and take unarmed or melee plus energy weapons for the most fun7 luck for casinos, you don't need to glitch your way from 8 to 10 its unnecessary i always take hacking over lockpick because the minigame sucks, I refused to even use it in fallout 76

You can't just get the highest DT gear and kill enemies from a million miles away using ED-E's Enhanced Sensors for detection.
>>741497565probably the biggest missing piece to the story. Veronica doesn't really have a good ending either, she either gets the followers of the apocalypse all killed, all of the brotherhood killed, or she never grows as a person.
>>741503118>Stealtth CritRemove the stealth, it makes things slower and boring.
>>741497565Yeah it really bothered me that you couldn't even at least tell Veronica that we met Christine after Dead Money,
>>741495338The legion keeps sex slaves but they don't stop at women.
>>741504306That was in secret
>>741504076It's amazing how Veronica has a bad ending no matter what happens. Anyways,>I cannot speak for Chris Avellone (who wrote and directed Dead Money), but I believe we were limited by time/scheduling. Veronica was written and recorded for the base New Vegas game with (IIRC) only a few hooks for Dead Money. I think reactions to Dead Money content itself would have required a more comprehensive level of (way) advanced planning, i.e., we would have needed to know exactly what Veronica was reacting to in Dead Money at the time that we recorded her for New Vegas.>Either that or we would have needed to book Felicia Day for more studio time during the development of Dead Money. That can also be difficult and expensive, especially since voice actors and studio time are generally booked in multiple hour blocks. It’s difficult to justify if the character is only saying two or three new lines.>It also gets a little messy when trying to decide where to draw the line. I think a lot of people would love to see some resolution between Christine and Veronica, but what about Caesar responding to the events of Honest Hearts? I wrote Joshua Graham and directed Honest Hearts, so I can speak more definitively to that. The limited reactivity Caesar could have about JG/HH wouldn’t really justify the expense of bringing John Doman back into the studio. And of course the new dialogue (minor as it might be) would still need to be tested. Caesar had one of the most complex dialogues in New Vegas, so it’s something we really tried to avoid messing with once the game shipped.>I know that might seem a little silly, but because recording expenses can be high and recording sessions typically happen late in development, it’s often safer to err on the side of caution.>https://web.archive.org/web/20200522203829/https://jesawyer.tumblr.com/post/140354298846/hi-josh-my-question-is-about-fnv-and-the-dlc
>>741495338This. Women no longer being men's properties and public sex cattle is where we went wrong as a society. Absolutely fucked up
>>741495338people really oversell the whole 'post-apocalypse' shit in falloutyou may as well be bitching there were no sex slaves in Fo1.
>>741504729there was though
>>741494537Yeah she's pretty fucking bad.Nothing in New Vegas really stands up to multiple playthroughs.
>>741504972oh i meant to say no racism in Fo1
>>741505039there kind of was though
>>741505070oh i meant to say no homophobia in Fo1
>>741504972off the top of my head only the two women in the khan camp.the khans also having several female members and a second-in-command.

>>741506007Arcade is from Sawyer's homebrew, he was written to be that way.
All companions in New Vegas suck, not even one evilchad raider or mercenary without a tragic anime backstory/questline who is just happy to rob and pillage with me.
>>741506007As someone whos a millennial that entire scenario really is peak millennial, Whedon dialogue.
>>741506478Luckily we have mods for that
>>741506478one of the only smart thinks wilburgur ever did was take driver nephi as a companion
>>741506561Sawyer is Gen X
>>741505951pffff
>>741496778I wish that there was a romance mod that did the following:If the Courier romances Arcade (details withheld to not bog down post), sells him into slavery, and Caesar lives, there would be an extra ending slide card where Caesar, in mourning over Arcade's suicide, realizes how important Arcade was to the Courier. In order to manipulate in keeping Caesar's proverbial Augustus around, Caesar posthumously declares Arcade the Son of Minerva, the Goddess of Knowledge. Ironically, Arcade's suicide in the Legion helps encourage the blossoming of reason and learning back in Arizona, inadvertently creating further friction between the Frumentarii and the Legati.
>>741495338Its a post-post apocalyptic setting, some people (and Bethesda) dont understand this.
>>741506478This. Jericho and the mind controlled ghoul soldier were based asf
>>741497138Can't believe Boone shot that guy twice.
>>741509957he was unsure about hitting at that range so he brought an extra bullet
>>741510460With luck like his NCR officer's, them bullets turned around and climbed back into the gun.
>>741496368>>741497163Cool. Now find a real world example of a location hit with dozens, if not hundreds of nuclear missiles, specifically ones that leave deadly levels of radiation hanging around to the point you can die in minutes 200+ years later, radiation that causes creatures like ants and scorpions to grow bigger than humans and little pet lizards to basically become bipedal wingless dragons.
>>741494692Nahhh, that's Borderlands.
>>741510585How about I show you my cock instead, considering how much of a pedantic faggot you're acting like right now?
>>741510653>being so much of a brainlet you try to compare a fictional universe that blatantly does not follow the same rules and laws of reality as our own to the real world and throw a temper tantrum when told you're wrongConcession accepted.

Playing through all fallouts for the first time starting with 1, currently going through New Vegas and it's insane how hard this mogs FO3 even after I modded FO3 to improve the dogshit gameplay (without changing the entire game of course)From second 1 with intro to the music to the colors, characters, setting, writing, gameplay, everything is a massive step up even while reusing a ton of stuff, it's just actually used well this time.The reused FO1/2 music is a god sent, the active and faster battle music actually works perfectly as a contrasting tune compared to the boring slop that was FO3 music, the radio as an actual existing thing works much better and actually makes sense in a setting of desert wasteland with tons of wanderers and caravans moving around in the middle of an almost proper civilization trying to rebuild instead of somehow looking like Haiti 200 years after the bombs like FO3.Locations are properly spread out and designed in a way that makes you either encounter them on the way to do the story shit or placed so you can see interesting landmarks on the way to do said story quests, while settlements with quests also send you out to these locations and are designed to make you want to EXPLORE, meanwhile in FO3 everything looks the exact same (and often is for the interiors) so you might get one or two quests to explore a nearby area and the rest you have to walk at 0.1 miles per hour for 5 minutes to find ANYTHING and it could be as boring and useless as a retarded shack with 1 singular early level weapon surrounded by late game stuff.It's like playing an actual fallout 3, a proper sequel, doubly so when it's a proper continuation of FO1 and 2 story and characters, while I'll give bethesda some props for the VATS and at least trying to make it a little bit RPG it really puts a spotlight on how utterly incompetent they were with FO3, that game is the definition of slop and I can only imagine how bad FO4 is gonna be.
>>741494537>>741494997>>741496729ARE THEY THE GLOP PEOPLE?!
>>741513250Bethesda fundamentally does not understand Fallout. That coupled with their notoriously bad writing is a recipe for disaster. The success of the show is the diarrhea on top. Fallout 5 will be horrendous.
>>741497848dogmeat (fallout 1)
>>741496729Vanilla New Vegas doesn't have any based companions. Unless you count Joshua Graham I guess, I guess
>>741513250>the active and faster battle musicI like to remove the battle music.
>>741513250The main difference I began to notice when playing TTW is that 3 is much more like a giant dungeon crawler with the DC ruins. While New Vegas actually has quests that tie into its unique locations that are more spread out. In Fallout 3 only a handful of quests actually have you navigating the DC ruins and even then there isn't too much traversing. Quests that come to mind is going to the vault HQ for the violin, stealing the declaration of independence, Reileys Rangers, and getting the dish for 3 Dog. Almost all of the main story actually has the player completely avoiding that whole area. Even Underworld is completely underutilized.
>>741497565What are you talking about? It's very easy to reunite them. All you have to do is give them both exactly what they deserve: a bullet lodged directly in their skulls. No playthrough is complete without doing this
>>741504306What are you talking about? Dude literally says if the other legionnaires found out he'd be killed. Despite the NCR propaganda, homosexuality is punished by death in the Legion.
>>741506478just install JIP C&C and make Jean Baptiste or whatever your companionKinda surprised the vanilla game doesn't let you do this, it's like they created his entire character just so Gloria wouldn't have to kill Cass. he does nothing else at any other point. The least they could have done is let you take him as a replacement for that cunt
>>741496368Fallout 3 should've been set 50 years max after the War, there was no reason to make it a "sequel" to F2 given it takes place in the other side of the country>Todd paid for the Brotherhood of Steel, Supermutants and Radscorpions so he's gonna use the Brotherhood of Steel, Supermutants and RadscorpionsWhat a shame.
>>741502842
>>741515951No part of Fallout 3 makes any fucking sense if you think about it for even one moment. The time period doesn't really matter.There's zero infrastructure in DC. It's a complete mystery where anyone even gets their food. There's no farming going on.Tenpenny Tower shows us that people are still capable of creating and maintaining prewar architecture, which means that everyone else is actively choosing to live in ramshackle huttages made out of scrap metal you'd get tetanus just from touching. Everyone in Megaton is a subhuman that deserves getting nuked by the bomb they were retarded enough to build their little community around
>>741516518>There's no farming going on.At least WHAT DO THEY EAT mindbroke Bethesda so hard it made them add farms to Skyrim and Fallout 4
>>741516754Morrowind and Oblivion have farms in them.Fallout 3 is the odd one out.
>>741516927You don't necessarily need farms, like Fallout 3 does have roaming traders in it. It's just that they're all running tiny operations that don't seem capable of keeping Rivet City alive at all
>>741497585>cuck yourself?because it's right in line with sawyers vision
>>741516927Morrowind is Morrowind, Bethesda changed after it. People also made fun of Oblivion but not to the same scale because there's no way in hell, even when you accept that the game worlds are only approximations of their lore size, that the farms that exist can feed the entirety of Cyrodiil. The whole of City Isle should be full of farmlands and shit. Fallout 3 then took things to a boiling point, when comparatively you look at Skyrim and every capital seems to have like two or three different farms to itself. Whiterun has Battle-Born Farm, Chillfurrow Farm and Loreius Farm, Windhelm has Brandy-Mug Farm, Hlaalu Farm and Hollyfrost Farm, etc.Also, the mines. Every single mine in Oblivion had bandits, vampires or goblins. Skyrim actually has a mining economy going on, like in Dawnstar or Markarth.
>>741497848Ed-E or one of the robots you build through Automatron
>>741496906but its not like its the middle ages. vault dwellers would have an education and learn a lot about the world outside and how it functioned and would learn useful things. its not like the knowledge of 2+2=4 was lost the second the bombs dropped.
>>741497016with /pol/acks you never win. if you are a jew and a socialist that means DA JOOS and if you are a jew and a capitalist that also means DA JOOS
>>741496906>it took humanity thousands of years to make concretethere's hordes of LITERAL BOOKS AND THEY HAVE RUNNING ELECTRICITYTHERE'S FUCKING SCIENTISTS AND WATER PURIFICATION AND METALWORKINGTHERE'S WORKING GUNS AND GUN CREATION INCLUDING FUCKING LASERSbut nah concrete is too hard and advanced
>>741496906Nigga they can build and power up Liberty Prime. By F4 they're stripping Rivet City to create an airship.
>>741517763radiation affects paper too, anonand electronicsyou really have no idea what you're talking about>>741517823yes, bethesda fallout is retardedso was the original fallout
>>741518057>radiation affects paper too, anon>and electronics>you really have no idea what you're talking aboutyou can literally read these books and magazines for expertise and training, you are actually retarded and never played the games before, stop replying
>>741518057>so was the original falloutBut they knew how to move on in that one.
>>741496626why is it okay when you do it?
>shady sands people came from a vault>they have actual buildings as a result since they had knowledge>junktown didn't, so they had to scrap by with the little they had but they were already building shit as early as a 80 years after the war>ghouls exist so they're bound to know about concrete, in fact we see their knowledge of the pre war world being used in fallout 1 and 2 quite often>by fallout 2 there's even more communication, trading and mingling so there's even bigger and better structured constructions made entirely by post war people with an actual republic being built>fallout 3 is after 2 yet somehow lacks all these details, despite having a massive fucking library and pre-war books scattered everywhere including these same dogshit towns no one can't put together a proper construction, even when these same towns also trade the magazines and books that grant knowledge on pre-war topicsit's insane how incompetent and retarded bethesda is, they genuinely do not give a shit, they just throw random shit together
so why dont the countries who didnt really get hit by the bombs just take over the world
>>741499664It’s not about confronting them on his own but not being able to investigate without drawing suspicion, he asks you to help since you are a stranger and will be under less scrutiny for asking shit about Carla’s abduction. In the end he kills whoever you bring to the front of the dinosaur with no issue.
>>741515397Fallout 3 really is primarily a dungeon crawler. it has really lip-servicey RPG elements, especially in regards to social interactions and quest choice. Combat Skills were just lifted largely from how Deus Ex worked. Almost every quest in the game involves some level of dungeon crawling or tunnel running through metros. Recently, I was surprised at how even the Oasis quest involved going through a long-ass cave full of Mirelurks I actually don't understand why there's this level of density of the combat. Fallout 1 and 2 have very little combat outside of random encounters and the handful of dungeons. Fallout 3 just throws you into dungeons constantly. The game needed more people who actually wanted to build an RPG with stories and characters and quests, rather than a stats-based dungeon crawler.
>>741518893>by fallout 2 there's even more communication, trading and mingling so there's even bigger and better structured constructions made entirely by post war people with an actual republic being builtOops, seems none of that mattered after all :)
>>741519068anon...
>>741518893There is also the Hub the largest and most prosperous post-war settlement that is probably one of the most influential if not the most influential place of the series.
>>741519175It’s amazing how this show is being made by mix of retards who know nothing about the setting and know just enough to fuck with shit in a way to completely fuck it up and make it like the East Coast.
>>741519120>I actually don't understand why there's this level of density of the combatBecause Bethesda adapted Fallout to *their* style of games. Oblivion with guns. And TES has always been, primarily, since Arena Daggerfall and Battlespire, a dungeon crawler.
>>741519649I guess, but I don't think they did a very good job. Fallout 3 should have felt more like VTMB if you wanted a more modern FPS version of Fallout 1 and 2. Dungeons and combat sequences are fine -- even I think New Vegas could have used a bit more, but Bethesda really pulled too hard in that direction and more importantly away from narrative and character driven stories and quests based solely on npc interaction.
>>741519209cmon they cant have nuked everywhere
>>741515951The only reason it was set in 2277 is so it could be a nice even 200 years after the nuculer apopstalips. This is the same studio that pushed Skyrim to release in a broken state just so it could be on exactly 11.11.11 because WOAH BRO NUMBERS

What's a good companion mod for new vegas? Is there even one that can be considered good?
>>741521392https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/89653
>>741521392a mod for companions in general or a mod that actually adds companions?
>>741521740Mods that add new companions
>>741521392Willow is legitimately a great mod. She is a waifu mod, but that doesn’t bother me at all. So great that bethesda basically stole all the functionality she had and used it as the base for F4 companion systems. She is essentially a happy go lucky friendly bimbo from the NCR.
>>741520681God I fuckin hate uncs so much bros...I have unc fatigue
>>741494692Not really
>>741504231>you can tell Veronica you met and killed Elijah>you can't tell her that Christine is safe and alive in the Sierra MadreI don't know why they wouldn't add that. Even if it only results in a piece of dialogue/one more slide for the slideshow ending.
>>741526063you don't know for sure it was christine who veronica was talking about
>>741519649I wish they adapted Fallout's story to their style as well. It's crazy how Bethesda created TES, a series where the MC's freedom from fate and lack of prior connections/attachments is an important part of the lore, creates shit like Fallout 4's main story where you're essentially playing a completely pre-defined character with their backstory, motivations, personality already written.

>>741526690shame laura bailey's a retarded hag now
>>741494537All the companions are quirk chungus reddit characters. Boone is le edgy positive masculinity hard man; Cassidy is le edgy alcoholic badass woman; Arcade is le snarky and sarcastic queer. The nightkin is a stupid gimmick. And ED-E is bearable for simply being a robot with no personality (not including the gay Lonesome Road ED-E). Raul is the only funny and interesting character in the game, and coincidentally the only one that doesn't give you a moral lecture all the fucking time.
riddle me this, incel virgins: if homosexuality is a mental illness, where are the gay nightkins?

>>741527176Right before your eyes, Tabitha's radio station was a banger though
>>741526727>i gave you a dress, so you have to have sex with me!
>>741527338That's a female mutant. The Master in all his wisdom made mutants equal.
>>741527419In the wasteland, nothing is done for free.
>>741527431>The Master's ideal super human race is a bunch of bald strongmen only.guys I think The Master was gay.
>>741494537Lmao I always kill her dyke ass in ANY playthrough good or evil alike because while morality can be subjective on many issues anti natalist death cult fags dykes and trannies are objectively evil in all scenarios and need to be culled for the prosperity of human kind. Especially in a post apocalyptic setting where repopulation is of the outmost importance. Killing her gay ass is the only true choice.
>>741527514He just wanted a bunch of bros miring each other gains. No homo.
>>741527419yeah except for all the other romance options that IS how it works.you got me a load of eggs? here, impregnate mineyou got me some vault suits? here, get me out of mineim sure there are more too, but i skip most of those quests on replay because they usually don't have great rewards other than 'romance'
>>741518893It's always crazy when a secondary creator rolls around and completely misses the fucking point.Quick /co/ example.In the comics Homelander BARELY has a presence and does not push the plot by himself in any way.Aside from the ending he's just some dickhead guy who can fly.In the show he's this compelling le cuuuraaazy character with loreslop and mental health issues and he just neeeds love.And in the normie viewer perception he's literallly just Evil Superman and it doesn't make sense for him to say the n word.
>>741496284God that's a name I haven't heard since the early 2010's. She used to be everywhere.
>>741527794So the show's Homelander was a far better character than the comicslop one. Got it.
>>741510631Fallout is just Borderlands for people who think they're too smart for Borderlands.
>>741495338Maybe on planet retard
>>741497848Tycho
>>741527794>it's worse so it's smartly written why are zoomers and xitter tourists like this ?
>>741527781that's why it sucks
>>741497848for me, its Cait because I felt good that I could fix her.
>>741527921They're different genres of games so you'll get different things you want out of them, or at least that used to be the case until Fallout just became glorified looter shooters with light rpg mechanics.
>>741528395it was written first.the other one can be 'better' but having a later writer change the intentions of the original is annoying.especially when its to push an agenda of the current era, when the original was commenting on a totally different, but still present issue.>>741528445but at least it sucked consistently
>>741515951>>741516518fallout 3 makes a lot of sense when you realize that the game was originally gonna be a remake taking place during the time of fallout 1 but in DC for like the first 50% of the game's development
>>741497848Nick Valentine and I don't even really like Fallout 4
>>741528553shhh, you cant bring the past into things like this, you need to look at the final product as the objective ONLY version, and not take into account things like the era is was made in, or the limitations of being developed for particular hardware.
>>741528553Fallout 3 makes a lot of sense when you realize it wasn't meant to be a Fallout game
>>741528553>>741528658Odd for you to reply to yourself and also make a claim that has absolutely no source. Is this that "attention-seeking mentality" your school counselor warned us about, son?
>>741494537So wholesome...
>>741528395Except its not. In comics he has less depth because the comic is explicitly not about him.The story begins, culminates, and ends on Hughie and Butcher. Their relationship, their view of the world, how they've dealt with losing loved ones and the difference in who they are.If anything, the show just goes for the now cliche road of "sympathetic villain does evil shit because he was le abused 40 years ago."Which is a fine trope. They just don't deliver on it and it's less imaginative than the comics.
>>741494692FPBP
>>741497848A tie between Boone and Cait for me
>>741494537Man, there was pop culture references in every game in the franchise. What the hell is wrong with yall?
>>741529000Basically in short the comic'a message is to condemn revenge action hero jerkoff and propose that to win against grimey and evil reality one must instead retain goodness and morality at their core.Hughie saves the world at the very end not by competence but just by being inherently and unbreakably a good guy.The superhero critique is literally just a dress setting for that personal story.This isn't too subtle but my point was that the show-runners genuinely didn't comprehend it and stuck on a volume 1 hook for 5 seasons.
>>741529134>>741529000the boys is stupid and garth ennis is really stupid (thats also why the comics are fun to read)
>>741495932>millennialBut it's gen X writing. Those sneaky bastards!
>>741529313Its not high aet but it does have a message and themes to convey. Bare minimum. I'm just 100% ragging on how the show has none of that. It's literally surface deep reading of the premise and repetition for 5 s
it's impressive how lastingly annoying felicia day is. every other companion, i've managed to have at least one fun playthrough with. and with lily and boone's caveats, arcade being a fag, and cass' crappily-written over-swearing, that's saying something. veronica is the one follower who i will pass by every single time. it actually works out well, i always get the dead money perk, and if i end up killing the brotherhood, i happily leave her in there after serving as a key.
>>741519482The show might be abysmal dog shit, but it produced some good posts
>>741529508
>>741529508>we got dale cooper as an overseer in the fallout show >he does fucking nothing throughout all of it

>>741497016>that face
>>741529747The funny thing is that it was originally intended to be set in a different location in the American Southwest, and then they just decided... not to do that.
>>741497016>gay and communistYep, just like the arcade in game.
Every Quirk Chungus'es boyfriend I met is either a marine with a +10 kill count or makes a living hurting people. Its almost every single fucking time I meet that kind of duo its that.
>>741530637Even if it were in a different Southwest location, that would still be terrible because the Legion dominated the Southwest in its entirety up to California. To be clear, I genuinely cannot understand the spiteful mentality of Bethesda. I am comfortable with them taking the entire east side of the Continental Divide and making dogshit stories with shitty writing and puerile themes. I wouldn't be upset if they stayed in their lane. Intentionally shitting on the West is the kind of hostile behavior I expect from a kid who gets showed up on the playground's basketball court and decides to bring a gun to school the next day. Instead, professionals getting paid exorbitant amounts of money for sitting in a room eating coffee and donuts and using a LLM to do 80% of their jobs for them did that. I'm distraught that the professional world is that petty, and hate how that mentality shows up in all of their writing.

>>741494537i will never not find it hilarious that old world blues entire point was to say "leave it behind and grow" with the gold, and gamers pretty much unanimously said "yeah cool, but how do i get all the gold anyway?".says a lot about society this meme was made by gang weed
>>741535264Thematically though, the gold makes no sense. Elijah's arc from Helios One through the Sierra Madre reads more about how obsession at the expense of all else causes undue harm to the people one is loved by and responsible for. That could be reflected in the battle for the Hoover Dam. Kimball and Oliver are obsessed with the Dam and are sending conscripts to die in droves for territory they can't hold (just as how Elijah was willing to sacrifice the Mojave Chapter just to get Archimedes). House is obsessed with the Dam and how it can power the Old World technological dream he clings to through rose-tinted memories and snow globes (just as how Elijah wants to unlock the secrets of forgotten technology). Caesar is obsessed with the Dam because of his previous humiliation and needs that victory because the Legion will militarily and culturally stall and splinter if it doesn't continue pushing westward (just as how Elijah wants to get revenge on the NCR for what they did to him, specifically him, at Helios).I know that Avellone was pressed for time, just as everyone else was, but Dead Money shouldn't have ever been about using the gold to teach the player a lesson about letting go. What should it have been? I'm not sure. I haven't given Dead Money more thought than what I've currently shared because I simply don't like it.
>>741497643>why was the reason why she had lied to you about not being able to talk?You gotta understand the devs just had to use all available voice lines for OWB's ending slides
>>741535946yeah cool, but which console commands exactly will let me pick up ALL the gold?do i bring a corpse along i can put all the gold in, or will that despawn?the gold will look real cool in my lucky 38 room next to the alien blaster and all its ammo

>>741518893Bethesda has this weird obsession with making every sequel take place after the previous game. They do this with the Elder Scrolls too. Not everything needs to be chronological. Fallout 76 and TESO are the only exceptions but those are MMOs and they need to set them far enough in the past that nothing you do in those games can impact the mainline titles. I wouldn't mind an actual Fallout game taking place only 50 or 80 years after the Great War.
>>741526727>being that hard up for some sand blasted wastelander snatchTake the Red Lucypill
Why weren't there any legion followers?>>741521392I liked Niner, but the mod's unfinished and buggy as shit
>>741535946Everything you described here applies to all other DLCs and the base game itself. New Vegas is all about obsession with either the Old World or some kind of past trauma. Caesar wants to take the Dam because he views it as a symbol of the Old World; in conquering it, he conquers the Old World. NCR is obsessed with the Dam for far less spiritual and poetic reasons, more material and secular, but they're obsessed all the same. House is obsessed with his idealized memory of Vegas and what it could be. He wants Vegas to be like his snowglobes, perfect but stagnant, never changing. This is why the Independent ending is the most thematically fitting, as it's the closest you can get to moving the fuck on from the past and the Dam. There's more to this as well; a lot of the game is a dialectic between the Old World and the New World. Look at House's employees, they were all once tribals that adhered to some tradition, and despite the fact that they've been forced to evolve they still cling onto their past. White Gloves are trying to retvrn to cannibalism, Omertas were once the "Slither-Kin," and they're being treacherous little snakes in the present, etc etc. The Kings are obsessed with Elvis, Great Khans are obsessed over Bitter Springs, Powder Gangers are obsessed over the NCR's treatment of them in the prison, Joshua Graham is obsessed with the White Legs and Caesar, the Think Tank's highschool bullies are still living rent free in their heads 200 years later, Ulysses is obsessed with something you did in the past, Elijah is obsessed with the NCR and what happened at Helios, Christine is obsessed with Elijah, the BOS is still obsessed with the Battle of Helios One (and technology in general), I could go on and on. This single, recurring theme appears in nearly every single group in the game and many, many people.
>>741539336Bear-and-Bull was meant to be the resident Legion simp before he got switched over to a major antagonist role.
>>741539336Probably because it would have risked making the Legion more sympathetic, which they obviously did not want to doThe Legion as it is in the game is just funny to me. They obviously thought that it needed to have nuance as a joinable faction, but dodged basically every opportunity to show any and instead gave all the nuance to throwaway linesI mean I get it, though, expecting California liberals to make a sympathetic portrayal of a slave-based society, even one based on the Roman empire instead of the typical bullshit about the America South, is just wishful thinking
>>741539631New Vegas itself is thematically supposed to be the end of the series. The message is “Fallout is over, its time to move on.”
>>741494537i'd replay just to see what you're talking aboutbut i no longer own a CDROM drive
>>741539835This is also true. Vegas is the only Fallout game to respond to the "war never changes" line at the end of Lonesome Road. "War never changes, men do, through the roads they walk." It's almost prophetic too because Bethesda continues to parade Fallout's corpse around. They need to let go.
>>741539882Pick it up on GOG. Its currently on sale, I think
>>741539792According to Chris Avellone (or was it Sawyer?) everyone at Obsidian was just making content for the NCR and ignoring the Legion and Chris/Josh had to go around telling everyone that the Legion needs shit to do as well. There was going to be a Legion companion, it was Ulysses, but he was cut. Legion also wasn't intended to be so comically misogynistic and larpy but the writers didn't get the memo clearly. This is Sawyer's fault obviously since he was the director and his job was to make sure everyone is on the same page.
>>741494537Disgusting dyke
>>741494692Fallout's world building has always been retarded and inconsistent just because radiation mutates things in a dozen different ways, but they also have to invent shit like FEV which also just mutates things.
>>741539631>He wants Vegas to be like his snowglobes, perfect but stagnant, never changingThat is precisely the opposite of what he says. Resurrecting Vegas as he knew it is basically just the first step in his plan. >He wants Vegas to be like his snowglobes, perfect but stagnant, never changingMaybe Cooke is. The rest of them just want to steal shit and get away with it>Christine is obsessed with ElijahShe's on a mission to track him down and assassinate him; there's no evidence that it's personal. > the BOS is still obsessed with the Battle of Helios Oneif there's anything they're clinging to, it's the idea of remaining in the Mojave even though it's clear that they're going get gigafucked by doing soAnyway, events being shaped by the past is just standard storytelling. A character without a fixation is an uninteresting character.
>>741539703>>741540006>Bear-and-Bull was meant to be the resident Legion simpWell thank fuck that got cut, I think he's one of the worst characters in the franchise, and I could never stand his voice after realizing he speaks with a valley girl accent
>>741540159Holy shit you never played the game lmao
>>741540006Did this Sawyer fellow get thrown out of the business? Also the jsawyer mod blows.
>>741540006>Legion also wasn't intended to be so comically misogynistic and larpyThey were given the Van Buren faction they were copypasted from. Van Buren had a foid equivalent of the Legion called the Daughters of Hecate to balance it out, I've been wondering why they didn't include that in NV
>>741540347New Vegas is New Vegas, not Van Buren. I'm just telling you what I've read and heard from developer interviews.
>>741511468>>741498306>>741534307>give sulik super sledge>enjoy waiting out slooow screenwide knockbacks all the time>give sulik smg>enjoy pic relatedYou fags never even played Fallout 2.The only way to make Sulik a decent companion is abusing the sprite systems and giving him weapons he shouldnt be able to use: big pistols with SMG sprite.
>>741540006Sawyer said he wanted Legion cities you could travel to show what life was like in Legion territories and how it was different than in an active warzone like the Mojave. Basically, he says the Legion has towns like Novac and Goodsprings that are free to do whatever they please and operate under their own laws, as long as they don't interfere with Legion operations. If the Legion randomly shows up one day and tells them their town is gonna become a fortress and they need to relocate, they expect full obedience without any objection else they get the cross, but will also give them resources and help move them safely if they comply.
>>741540283>Did this Sawyer fellow get thrown out of the business?Depends on what the head pajeeta thinks about his latest project. She's already gone full scorched earth on the rest of them. Fucking Mr Nutella farming out his dirty work like a wannabe elite.
>>741540647Yeah. Maybe they should have used one of the dlc slots to actually expand the vanilla game.
>>741540762They should have. But considering that Caesar's Legion is the "evil" faction and only like 10% of the playerbase sided with them because of how barebones they are in the base game, it would have never been approved. Also the way the gamebryo engine is set up, it's extremely hard to have DLC resources interact with the base game, mostly due to console limitations, so if they had made a Legion centric DLC, it would not have been able to affect the Legion in the base game in any way.
>>741540673The fact that there's been no news on Obsidian related to any cuts, even from journos that are very well connected within MS, and that they've been on a hiring spree these past few months and are still hiring right now despite all the hiring freezes (like Id software), leads to me believe they're actually gonna be told to make a new Fallout game while Bethesda sharts out their new procedurally generated action game. Either that or they'll continue shitting out 2-3 games pass slop games a year.
>>741517641Did you even read what you wrote, kike?>if you're a jew they call you a jewFuck off, kike
>>741494692And I'm ok with that
>>741541107>leads to me believe they're actually gonna be told to make a new Fallout game while Bethesda sharts out their new procedurally generated action game. Either that or they'll continue shitting out 2-3 games pass slop games a year.That must've been like pulling teeth considering how protective Toddy boy has been over the idea since FNV. He gives them once chance and never hears the end of it. TES6 won't be out until the late 2040s at best so those Fallout mines will be spun up in response to the purges. Nothing stopped them from picking up Bakersfield and turning that into a side piece.
>>741540932>it would not have been able to affect the Legion in the base game in any way.That's fine, have the DLC take place in Arizona in Legion land, show us what it's like.

>>741541367I don't think Asha gives a shit about Todd's grievances. She needs games and she needs them now, and they do not have the money to buy another studio or outsource the game. There's only 4 options to make a new Fallout right now. Kill FO76, ESO and Starfield and have those Bethesda devs begin a new Fallout, get Arkane to do it, get Inxile to do it, or get Obsidian to do it. They have no other studio in house that has any experience making anything remotely close to Fallout. The first option is retarded because all those 3 games make money and killing a steady source of profit would never happen. Arkane is in danger of shutting down and are supposedly making a Blade game. InXile is all hands on deck with Clockwork revolution, which is set to release late 2027, and they're a pretty small studio. Obsidian is making 4 games right now according to their higher management. Avowed 2, Grounded 2, and 2 unannounced games. I wouldn't be surprised if Asha tells them to cancel all of them, except Grounded 2 which is about to release, and tells them to get all hands on deck on a new Fallout as soon as possible.

>>741494537>Companionnever traveled with her, never did her questi don't even bother with followers in beth games, they are too much to deal with, constantly trip mines and aggro enemies in stealthi tried serana in skyrim and she was sizzling under the sun, i play the game only when it's the daytime and the constant SSSSSSSSSS was annoying

>>741495758also check her weapon of choiceshe fists the patriarchy (the brotherhood and the legion)
>>741494537Yeah, I only use her to get into the bunker. In general, FNV companions are only ok at best. I use them as mules or just use JIP companions mod and recruit randoms.
>>741496368It depends how well population can recover and reuse the ruins. But then, if population can recover well and there are many ruins after 200 years then it would mean that many parts are just not inhabited by people at all. Areas we see in the games, where people live, should probably most picked clean of salvage and buildings that people live in maintained.
>>741545212Probably, I don't have any faith that she'll save xbox and it will probably come crashing down in a few years. But her saying that she wants to de-emphasize game pass, killing studios that make nothing but walking simulators and bring exclusives back make me like her more than Phil already. At the end of the day, she'll operate under a "if you make no profit you're gone" mentality from now on. All the studios that survive the purge will get a single chance to prove their worth, otherwise she's killing them. That is also a positive in my opinion.
>>741497565She would prefer courierussy over veronica anyway.
>>741499546Nah, if you NV trannies actually played Fallout 1 you would now just how much of a nose dive the franchise took tonally between even just the first two games, let alone the rest of the series.

>>741499304Survival, speech, barter.Pick skilled and then dump some early skill points into lockpick.
>>741505951Sex slaves existed in historically documented periods tho.
>>741547393You've never played Fallout 2. You just watched a few youtube videos about how there's pop culture references sprinkled here and there and how there's some wacky random encounters in the wasteland and have now convinced yourself it's a goofy wacky games like Bethesda's garbage. The opening cinematic to Fallout 2 is darker than everything in Todd's slop games even come close to achieving. There's rape, ruthless crime lords, torture, addiction, child abuse, and tons of very adult topics in FO2 that are treated completely straight, nothing FO3 and FO4 even attempt to explore in any serious capacity. The first two games are grounded and realistic in the way they examine humanity and the depths of depravity people go to when pushed to the brink. NV is the only game you have an argument for not being as dark, but even if NV leans a bit more into the silly aspects of FO, it's still a much darker and more mature game than any of Todd's slop. Even Old World Blues is much darker than anything in FO3 and 4 once you read past the silly dialogue.
>>741545641yeah this is what always bugged me about bethesda fallout200 years later and everyone is still living in a sheet metal trash pile with skeletons in the diner bootheven tribals in 1/2 figured out mud bricks and basic agriculture, meanwhile diamond city geniuses sleep next to holes in the wall and exposed wiring like the bombs dropped last tuesday
>>741530637Yeah, should have just made it its own thing.Not that New Vegas will get a proper sequel, and not that people should want one, because that sequel wouldn't take your choices and headcanons into account.Fallout is done, finished.
Reminder that real radiation doesn't work like it does in Fallout games. And dead grey wasteland is not really possible, besides maybe some time post nuclear winter, which is argued to not even be possible. So yeah, Fallout 3 is very shit. Even 76 made better environments.
>>741538003I side with House because he offers to share biological immortality tech. Although, you can kind of get that with Think Tank in OWB, but I like to have plan B too.
>>741547706>Fallout is done, finished.Wrong. It continues to exist, but as live service, microtransaction-infested Fallout 76. And the funny thing is that Bethesda's development cycles are so glacially slow that it won't even get another mainline game before Microsoft Gaming completely collapses. Bethesda will be lucky to get TES VI out the door before they're sold off or radically restructured. It's a blessing in disguise.But yes, true Fallout has been dead for years.
>>741547591>dood.....the opening cinematic!Kek. Yeah that's Grade A NMA seethe right thar. Big problem with your post is that 3 just did it all better, really. Hey don't get too down, maybe that 2 remake in the 4 engine will come out any year now right bud
>>741547706New Vegas was always meant to be the conclusion to Fallout, Lonesome Road in particular, as divisive and Ulysses is. The phrase "War, War Never Changes", before Bethesda corrupted and twisted it, was always meant to imply that war is at its core, destructive, evil and a failure of humanity, something humans should never be proud of, but ashamed of, and nothing would ever change or justify that fact. But, it also had the message of hope that war was not intrinsically tied to humanity and they could always rise above it and change. The Master in FO1 is so interesting because he understands the first point but rejects the second, thinking that war will always follow humanity so he deems them obsolete. Ulysses words it perfectly at the end of LR, even if it's a bit heavy handed>"It’s said war, war never changes. If war doesn't change, men must change, and so must their symbols."That's the message of 1, 2 and NV at their core.
>>741547925If 3 did it better why can't you name a single example of ways it did it better?
>>741547996I would have been fine with that. They could make more games, of course, but earlier in timeline, different areas. But yes, FNV could have been a fitting end for mainline Fallout (1, 2, FN(3)
>>741548071Cause you have Bethesda derangement syndrome?
>>741547591FO2 literally opens with your crack smoking great grandmother saying that it was revealed to her in a dream that you are the literal prophesied chosen one, and then you have to go to an ancient temple of trials, that just happen to be there in the middle of the wasteland. You can't get a bigger tonal whiplash than that.
>>741548180I think you need to rewatch the intro of 2. Luckily, youtube is there to help you, which is how you also experienced the rest of the game, so it should be familiar to you.
>>741548257What are the lore implications of your dope smoking hallucinating great grandmother being able to send you telepathic visions across the wasteland? Again, why even pretend that FO1 and FO2 are even remotely close tonally.
>>7415482571 and 2 just are simply just not all that good. It's really just hype and the rosy-tinted glasses of time
>>741548180FO2 has some stupid shit. Weird that it helped to make a bit more grounded FNV, but then again, it takes place in another area and some things are not referenced later.I guess that silly shit didn't matter and could be handwaved.
>>741548468>FO2 has some stupid shit.It's more than "some" but yeah. FNV has a lot of it's own silliness too.
>>741548468Fo1 and 2 were never good. They were stepping stones to 3 and 4, that's it. That's their sole cultural worth.
>>741548764Lol, no.At least FO1 feels like something coherent, and gaps in story and map design leave some room for imagination.FO3 is just a jet induced fever dream experience. Not a proper setting. FO4 removed the fever dreamed aspect, added more blandness, settlements and maybe one farm here or there in again dead and grey wasteland and called it a day. That said, all Fallout games are kind of silly. I wonder if we could ever get a bit more realistic Fallout clone. Not entirely removed from weird sci fi stuff, but still more grounded, with attention to realistic detail
>>741494537She punched millions and carried me toward victory. Nothing else matters.
>>741548903Lolwut? Fo 1 and 2 are garbage, just crappy weird crpg fodder from the 90s . 3 and 4 are immeasurably better
>>741549340I can agree from gameplay perspective, those top down rpgs feel like a chore, especially older ones like Fallout, but not from story, worldbuilding perspective.I would then rather play Fallout Nevada or Sonora fan games over F3 and F4. Unpopular, but I think even 76 does worldbuildling better at times than F3 or F4, but only in some regards, like environments. Well, maybe. But at the end of the day, these games are dumpster diving simulators with some ok shooting and wacky quests, so I can understand why people like them. I enjoyed F3 when I first played it too.
>>741497848Dogmeat, no contest
>>741549468You enjoyed F3 when you first played it because you weren't a yet mentally dominated slave subservient to a deranged, idolatrous cult surrounding a couple of halfbaked CRPG games from the 90s. You simply were just honest, uncorrupted, and liked what was good and true, without all the brainwashing you've been heavily subjected to now, to fit in with a cult.
>>741549663More like I was younger, with different tastes in games.
>>741549790More like you simply were just honest, uncorrupted, and liked what was good and true, without all the brainwashing you've been heavily subjected to now, to fit in with a cult.
>Quirk chungus game>Lore and setting makes perfect sense
>>741547465You. You faggot lil bitch boy.
>>741546221>mods deleted thisKek. Hit the nail on the head too hard I guess, they got so mad that they felt they had to shitcan the whole post to preserve their pathetic little fee-fees
>>741550453there isn't really much quirk chungus in Underrail besides Dude and the Russian guy in the Free Drones
>>741494815Kinda. 2 is great rpg. But it ruined the fallout. Older I get. More I like orginal. It's such a shame fallout games are based of 2 rather then orginal.
>>741530989Signs are there for MS to rape Bethesda first moment they can. Anything is better then spite and no games.
>>741531556Everybody always says this, but it's like three dialogue choices deep with 0 real rep with him needed.That's far more normal than modern game relationship shit. But not the deep secret everyone always suggests.
>>741495494
>>741494692can we finally be honest about this shitty franchise? It sucks my aaasssss and it was NEVER good.
>>741529382It's for millennials retard. Boomer writing was done for boomers, same with Gen X.

>>741497848K-9 mogs all other dog companions. Justice for my nigga K-9.
>>741527921This applies to every Bethesda game
>>741497848Raul Tejadahe's the only normal personhis buff is good too, only problem is that he complains about being old a lotbut has unique dialogue for surprisingly many places
Only Fallout 1 was decentThe rest are garbage for different reasonPlay Underrail instead
>>741497848My man Charon obviously.
