How hard is it to farm sugar bombs to craft brain bombs, and is it true that the recipe specifically needs irradiated sugar bombs?
>>561681234>https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Brain_bombs>https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Broiled_scorchbeast_brainCarnivore chad needs only 1 scorched beast brain and 1 wood. I'm already stocked up for the next season that i want to do the scoreboard for. Brain Bombs need 3 brain fungus, 2 mothman eggs, 2 purified water, 3 sugar bombs, 1 wood.
>>561683737I bought the mothman nest from the shop, since that gives the eggs. Brain fungus is easy to farm. But I don't know methods for the sugar bombs, or if they NEED to be irradiated. I guess I'll shut up and look for a guide or two.

I disabled every mod except for this one even when its just this one alone and the UFO4P, it still crashes and without it it runs just fine. I don't know why it crashes my game, I'm on 163. The Nexus page does say it has to be a downgraded 163 while I never updated mine from 163, maybe that's the difference?

>>561695032todd wants you to play NV
>>561695379> diminishing returns on ballistic defenseArmor in Fallout 4, 76, and Starfield, has always had diminishing returns.The way the system works is that each point of armor gives you a certain % of damage resistance so that, when the armor value matches the imcoming damage value, you have 50% damage resistance. So-At 100 incoming damage, 100 armor gives you 50% damage resistance(.5% per armor value)-50 incoming damage, and 50 armor, gives you 50% damage resistance(1% per armor value)-10 incoming damage, and 10 armor, gives you 50% damage resistance(5% per armor value)etc. etc.After hitting that 50% cap, the system impliments massive diminishing returns. In the 100 damage/100 armor scenario, going from 100 armor, to 250 armor, only takes damage resistance up to like 65%, and going from 250 to 1,000, only brings it up to like 75%
>>561695643I did that already, cleared Viva New Vegas and Tale of Two Wastelands and I WANT MORE, but with settlement building to really scratch the buildtism itch.

>>561674080>How would you run your independent New Vegas / Commonwealth?Technocracy, one director with a board of chairman and advisors. The people need an overseer. Vegas should be run like a vault. Democracy is tyranny of the majority.

The wasteland is a blown out shithole and smells like tetanus, fecal matter, and body odor. Who wouldn't want to live in a vault? Even James gave up being a celebrity in the Brotherhood so he could move in with his gay boyfriend, the Overseer. Must be comfy as hell living in a vault.

Based on what Bethesda has teased in the past, what they said about what they are doing this year, and some leaks that have happened, I'm going to assume Fallout 76's over arching schedule will be something likeQ1 2026 - BackwoodsQ2 2026 - Next Gen updateQ3 2026 - New raidQ4 2026 - Burning Springs P2With Capital Wasteland P1 coming in 2027, and Capital Wasteland P2 coming in 2028. Also, an update to workshops adding in the faction war stuff Beth talked about, and another raid coming in 2028.I'd guess 2028 will also be around when larger scale development on Fallout 76 winds down.
>>561725804And then Fallout 77!
>>561689869
>>561714501The prologue sequence can be annoying but the actual vault itself is quite cozy. The overseer being an asshole is mostly irrelevant because Vault 101 is presented as mostly a quiet, peaceful place to live up until Liam Neeson escapes. I'm actually somewhat pleased that something like VT workshop exists in 4 so we can make our own versions of V101/V21/etc to live in forever.
Apart from certain vaults, where can you actually get a proper high school education experience in the wasteland? Maybe under the NCR? What do teenagers even do in the wasteland? Just go out hunting with their parents? Die young to raider attacks?

The metastory of Fallout 76 is the actual Appalachia expanse was ruined by human greed.The nuke silos explained by the Whitesprings bunker were all autonomously operated by robots under AI's. The way to activate those nukes was to rise the Defcon level to 1 to send delivery bots with new silo assigned keys to field officers. But the problem was the system which was completely autonomous didn't recognize the U.S. under immanent threat to authorize the use of nukes preemptively.So the government's (Enclave) plan to exploit the AI's to raise the Defcon level most likely was let the population, government, and corporations, destabilize the regions.The ForestThe Appalachia region untouched by the nukes but destroyed by the Scorched Pandemic years before 76 opened.Observed Chinese InfiltrationThe Mire An anti-government succession state "Appalachian Free States" was allowed to take the region from the U.S. government pre-bomb.Toxic Valley Fertilizer sprayers running amok and Grafton Steel Mill runoff ruins another farming region.Cranberry BogA Government approved GMO terraforming project. Pre-bomb Watoga Robot Uprising caused by Free Watoga People's PartyAsh HeapPre-bomb coal mine incident involving the use of a nuke to make Ultracite from coal cause the whole mountain to burn.Flashpoint for the Bot Protests. U.S. military sent.Severe radiation created the Scorch Beasts and Mole Miners.Burning Springs (New!)Abraxo Cleaner factory explosion covered the whole Ohio farming region with detergent filled with acid.You may have noticed that there are no nuke craters yet found in Fallout 76.

The country's biggest chemical corporation, BUT they store corrosive substances in plastic containers and refuse to create neutralizers for their own products. The result is that their unsold chemical materials burn through the thin plastic lining of the barrels containing them, causing trillions in easily avoidable structural and property damage, but something something evil business practices something and it all somehow makes sense in the end. In addition, the same corporation is responsible for the unlicensed testing of its untested products on its own nonconsenting employees, causing severe bodily harm, but this doesn't lead to any formal investigation, or lawsuit, because something fat cats something something. Almost as if by an act of God, this extremely irresponsible company, which acted outside the confines of the law with impunity, was not only able to survive unscathed, but thrive, even branching out into the dental industry. However, everyone was also somehow fully aware of the companies activities but everybody simply decided to do absolutely nothing about it, though everybody was very upset about the whole thing.

I have a mod that adds radiant quests to a job board in every settlement, and I'm going to sound crazy by saying this, but radiant quests aren't actually that bad when they're done right. There's so many POIs in Fallout 3 that there's just never any reason to visit. Fallout 4 and Skyrim of course are just so much worse at implementing them because they're tied to faction questlines and necessary for progressing them sometimes (like in Skyrim with the Companions guild). Taking radiant quests as odd jobs to get some XP or caps when you have tons of mods to nerf the economy values, XP gains, and boost difficulty really does make sense.

>>561825030Agreed!>>561803587I've not watched it outside of some of the clips of its most retarded moments.

One could reasonably say that the Ghoul is the basis for Victor, as I understand it. He was a cowboy movie star, right?>>561816116I think the big difference is that you spend more time with the individuals that have unique VA's. James has remarkably little face to face time with the Lone Wanderer. Meanwhile, you're ALWAYS with your companions in New Vegas. They also gave relevant figures a LOT of dialogue: House and Caesar notably.Both games have their share of repeated VA usage, but I think that New Vegas does a better overall job of ensuring you mix it up.
>>561824338Multiple shotas :D>>561825030Yes, but with dicks
I'm level 31 in Fallout 3 and I have yet to find Dogmeat. My last playthrough was like goddamn 15 years ago or so, I genuinely do not remember how he shows up. I'm not asking for an answer, I could easily look it up, I just thought that was funny because I (possibly mis)remember getting him shortly after leaving the vault. Also I have the real big dawg Fawkes now. >>561816116I have done several quests that I initially assumed were mods, some of which I had to look up afterward. Operation Anchorage was the wildest, I was like man I didn't know AWOP had this many voice lines, and then they mentioned the Anchorage simulation and I was like holy shit lmao no way.
>>561828328the only thing she says is "problematic" is in reference to her father saying that both legion and ncr and bad, and she compares them as a group of rapists and slavers, and a group that is only mildly problematic (NCR). you don't know what you're talking about. there's plenty to dislike about the show, just do it correctly retard
>Tale of Two Wastelands>Hardcore mode>Agua Fria>Famine>Level Scaling Disabler>Harder Barter Faster Stronger>Follower Formula Redone The Capital Wasteland is (mostly) perfect with these mods. This is how I imagine a canon lore-accurate D.C. to be like.The downtown D.C. areas are hard as nails due to muties, raider fights are punishing, you don't need silly PA training (but you also lack access to PA that is actually durable before you join the Brotherhood/meet the Enclave), ammo is scarce as you can imagine it would be after 200 years of looting (the only real places to get ammo are raider strongholds), and you will need to visit town doctors frequently because of the lack of Stimpaks. TTW also nerfs the perk rate and adds DT which makes skills and ammo types so much more important.
>>561832807Oh and also forgot to mention>TTW Reputations>NV Speech Checks>DIEOBethesda's way of doing speech checks is so fucking dumb. It encourages save scumming. NV did them so much better, also DIEO makes dialogue slightly less dumb.
>>561833489>Bethesda's way of doing speech checks is so fucking dumb. It encourages save scumming.This is such a retarded argument, because even with binary pass/fial speech checks people just save scum, reloading saves, and them taking chems/or equipping different gear, to pass the check.The difference is that the way NV does it leaves zero room open for different play-troughs, since you can only ever fail, or ever 100% fail, or 100% pass a check. Whereas Bethesda's way of doing it not only leaves room for more varying playthroughs, but also better reflects reality as even the best liars sometimes fail to convince people, and sometimes even people who barely lie pull off a big one.
>>561829206Gee bill, two shotas?
>>561836758>with binary pass/fial speech checks people just save scum, reloading saves, and them taking chems/or equipping different gear, to pass the check.Watch the making of New Vegas. In the dev commentary, Josh Sawyer admits that it was completely intentional, the game was designed around that kind of gameplay. You're not incentivized to save scum because you don't even have to pick the option before you've already quit dialogue and taken chems/used a magazine/equipped different armor with different boosts. There's a reason that NV has so many more magazines to find than 3. There's even magazine dispensers on the Strip, and about 3-5 in the Goodsprings Saloon alone (because obviously the Goodsprings gunfight has like 4-5 skill checks). https://youtu.be/ob3lguLHKrE?t=1328&si=ZQnlMfRk7LLCCykqFlat skill checks were how it was in the classic games too, but in those games they hide the skill check, so you would only ever know about it if you either metagame or have taken chems/equipped different items/etc. >the way NV does it leaves zero room open for different play-troughs, since you can only ever fail, or ever 100% fail, or 100% pass a check. Whereas Bethesda's way of doing it not only leaves room for more varying playthroughs, but also better reflects reality as even the best liars sometimes fail to convince people, and sometimes even people who barely lie pull off a big one.Except nobody playing Bethesda Fallouts just live with the failed skill check, you will always reload a save to try it again because it's unsatisfying to lose a speech check with a 90% pass rate. Bethesda know this because they made it easier in Fallout 4 with Grape Mentats and the new SPECIAL (they merged CHR with Speech). FNV's flat skill checks are better because even though you can just equip an item or use a chem, you have to be within a certain threshold of the requirement. You can't just pass all speech checks by reloading a save with 1 Speech (or Charisma in FO4).
>>561837713>Except nobody playing Bethesda Fallouts just live with the failed skill check,I know a lot of people who do, mainly because they are actual RPrs, and not min-mix only retards
I saw tammer make a grenade pistol and wanted to try making my own version.... and it's funny how fake this looks despite being a real thing people do to grenade rifles.I just needed another 25mm grenade launcher, and while this should still shoot 40mm within canon, I don't really care.
>>561837881>Can pass all speech checks without investing a single skill point into it, merely through save scumming>b-but in New Vegas you can rank up your Speech to 73 and then wear the Sexy SleepwearLmao, THIS is your argument. Everyone laugh at the retard.
>>561666218I didn’t hate the fallout TV show the way some people do, but I can understand why some die hards are upset at ho the show screwed over new Vegas.
>>561838409>Can pass all speech checks without investing a single skill point into it, merely through save scummingIgnoring that the chances are so low you'd be spending more time save scumming in most instances then you cold just leveling up once, putting some points into speech, and stacking chem/clothing buffs on top of it.Obshitiots really have no self awareness.
>>561838678>Ignoring that the chances are so low you'd be spending more time save scumming in most instances then you cold just leveling up onceIn a game with a base level cap of 20? Nah, those skill points are better used on other skills that you can't just reload a save for. Oh and also, in Fallout 3 you can easily max out all skills and SPECIAL just with the bobbleheads and the Almost Perfect perk, making Charisma useless and Intelligence overpowered kek. And in FO4 there's no level cap at all, not that you need it when you can just pop Grape Mentats and save scum every time you run into a speech check.
>>561839050>In a game with a base level cap of 20? Nah, those skill points are better used on other skills that you can't just reload a save for.Fallout 3 and NV give you so many skill points that, unless you nerf yourself down to like 1 INT, you're going to get so many skill points that you'll have basically everything at 80-100 by level 20.>Oh and also, in Fallout 3 you can easily max out all skills and SPECIAL just with the bobbleheads and the Almost Perfect perk, making Charisma useless and Intelligence overpowered kek. You can do the same in NV with minor meta gaming.>And in FO4 there's no level cap at all,Which really doesn't matter since, due to the way EXP requirements are exponential, you' have to do everything in the base game, and all DLC, like 4 times, at 10 INT to reach the "max" level needed to get everything. Whereas in Fallout 3 and NV you can get 10 in all SPECIAL, and 100 in all skills, around level 20-25, which you will reach LONG before you're even half way done with base game content.
>Take Chemist perk >Implant GRX lasts almost annoyingly long holy moly lmao. Anyway what hotkey do you guys use for Implant GRX?
>>561841289>Fallout 3 and NV give you so many skill points that, unless you nerf yourself down to like 1 INT, you're going to get so many skill points that you'll have basically everything at 80-100 by level 20.Let's try it.>There are 13 attributes in New Vegas>Skill Points = 10 + (INT/2)>15 skill points per level at 10 INT>15*20=300 (300 skill points at level 20)>300/13=23.0769 (round to 23)>23 skill points across every skill, when base values usually begin at 10-30So no, you won't have everything at level 80-100 at level 20 in New Vegas, no matter if you've maxed INT or not. You are just blatantly wrong here. >You can do the same in NV with minor meta gaming.Except New Vegas doesn't have bobbleheads that give you +1 to each SPECIAL stat and +10 to each skill. Fallout 3 gives you +7 SPECIAL stats and +130 skill points with the bobbleheads, and raises all stats to 9 with a single perk. You don't even need to invest any points whatsoever at the beginning because you can max out every stat with just the collectables and one perk.>Which really doesn't matter since, due to the way EXP requirements are exponential, you' have to do everything in the base game, and all DLC, like 4 times, at 10 INT to reach the "max" level needed to get everything.Or you could just repeatedly spam radiant quests. Sure it is an absolutely pointless endeavor but it is technically possible even if it would take you a long time. Level caps are good because it prevents your character from becoming too overpowered (and especially for Bethesda games due to awkward level scaling issues). >Whereas in Fallout 3 and NV you can get 10 in all SPECIAL, and 100 in all skills, around level 20-25, which you will reach LONG before you're even half way done with base game content.You keep saying "Fallout 3 and NV" but this is only an issue with Fallout 3.
niggerthere are 94+ skillbooks in new shittass, that alone should get you to high orbit with skills
>>561842317>(>>561841289>Whereas in Fallout 3 and NV you can get 10 in all SPECIAL, and 100 in all skills, around level 20-25, which you will reach LONG before you're even half way done with base game content.Fallout 3 is not that long of a game. Level 20 is the base game level cap. You would've completed the game at that point.
>>561842868>there are 94+ skillbooksOnly including the DLC. There are much less in the base game and the level cap is 30.
This guy forgot to not feed the Yao Guai.
>>561843967that's his husband
>>561791526Same.
Are Arefu telepathic? They turned hostile after I killed Ian. I didn't want to have to wipe them all out, but Ian is a cannibal and killed his parents, so screw them and their shitty settlement I guess.>>561844174>Bear bull bear bull relationships Ulysses told me all about those.
>>561842914>Fallout 3 is not that long of a game. Level 20 is the base game level cap. You would've completed the game at that point.Maybe if you ignore 95% of the game. I've reached level 20 before even exploring half the map before.
>>561846351There are only like 31 marked quests total in Fallout 3, and half of those are main quests. Many of them also don't reward much XP, the shorter quests usually reward about 300 XP at most even at higher levels.Leveling is very slow in Fallout 3. New Vegas has about quadruple the marked quests and increased the XP requirements for each rank and they still had to increase the level cap by 10.
>>561846956>Leveling is very slow in Fallout 3.I've never seen anyone this inept at playing Fallout 3 of all games.
>>561847652Can you rephrase your post into an argument? These are roleplaying games, there is no player skill involved you cretin. Only number crunching.
>>561843726>oh no, only 159 free skill points!absolute fucking retard
>>561842317So I decided to try and Min-Max the formula WITHOUT DLC, and I got a max of 972 Possible Points from Start to Level 30. This ALMOST puts every skill at 75.What I did;-I manipulated the SPECIAL by boosting Luck to 9(giving Luck an even number doesn't pay), lowering STR to 1(the reason is it only affects one skill), and boosting INT to 10(for maximum Level Increases). I then dumped CHA and boosted PER to 9, as I got a net gain overall with each point I transferred over(3 skills boosted by PER as opposed to 2 per CHA).-Wasted Perk slots with Educated(2 Extra Skill Points per Level), Comprehension(1 Extra pt when reading a Skill Book), and Tag!(Extra 15 Points).-I have room for 5 Implants, and used all relevant SPECIAL increases(except INT as I already maxed that out and LCK as again, no benefit with an even number). I had just enough Endurance for that.
>>561848343>159 skill points out of a potential 1300>"high orbit"
>>561848879>I got every skill to 75 in New Vegas>here's what I did>*writes THREE whole paragraphs detailing his incredibly specific metagaming min-max build*Holy autism, Batman.
you're spending a lot of time talking about speech checks and skill points when you could be taking about egg-making sex with deathclaws
>>561849078I just cranked this out in fifteen minutes. This is more like Plebian Aspbergers.
>>561849315If you have to write three paragraphs going into hyper-specific depth about a NV build only to get to level 75, then yeah, I think you've all but admitted that NV is leagues better than Fallout 3 in this regard.
>>561849515In fairness, I'm not either of the two guys having the argument about it. I just wanted to see how close I could get to that supposed 80-point makr.

k i have 100 speech/science 65 lockpick/repair 50 guns/medicine/barter at level 15 if i had planned a build it would be cleaner but i think if i do owb now i should leave with max lockpick/repair and then be able to explore and complete dungeons. the only mistake is rlly putting points into guns over energy weapons because the stat pairs better with science and i found an energy rifle that can oneshot literally everything
>>561880658MUTIE
>>561869515There's a Starfield 2?
>>561854184>not enjoying the simple pleasure of wiping Megaton off the face of the earthit's not about the caps, my dear anon
>>561880993yeah i have an adamantium skeleton/reinforced spine/artificial bloodgod im so sad that i wasted 40 points on guns like they literally do no damage. i can only kill things if they crit and meanwhile the energy rifles can kill in a few shots despite having only 23 points and they crit more often im going to get the stealth suit asap
>>561885207You're right, it was about the flashy apartment with the nice view. Then after I got it, I remembered this place doesn't even have any sinks. Not in the diner on the ground floor or in my actual suite. Not even a shower. I'm having to drink water from a fucking toilet to quench my dehydration. At least it's not irradiated.
Nuking Megaton for these Tenpenny Tower vendors was also a bad deal. Moira sold me some solid energy weapons and now to find her I'll have to go to Underworld and that's going to be a PITA. These Tenpenny vendors only sell the shittiest pre-war clothing.
>>561886493>non-irradiated toilet water>can drink from it AND not get radiation on your pussy or dickn'ballsdoes one need more in life?
>>561886923That's what you get for your Very Evil ways…
>>561886923>I need to consoomjust advance the main quest, Enclave soldiers drop them by the dozen
>>561859838You're only saying that because the brotherhood quest is actually the worst and most tedious thing ever.
Is wasteland 3 the only rpg to give evil options real rewards for it to be an actual choice?For example a cannibal group giving you power armor if you send them survivors, or slavers giving you the code for a vault packed with gear if you hunt down a refugee.
>>561888727I have a bunch of difficulty mods installed so progress is very slow (how I like it since it's more tactical and wandering into high level zones is more punishing). I'm not powerful enough to fight Enclave troops yet, I'm still getting overwhelmed by Super Mutants and my Recharger Rifle is my lifeline with how little ammo there is. I'm also level 7. Jericho is also a great help. Best bro.
>>561854184It's a early-game quest. Also, Megatown has fuck-all in it. Just 2 quests (not including the nuke) in it.
I'm just going to say it… New Vegas is better than Boreout Pee.
>>561889738so true Bharat Sister
>>561889530Moira sells some good early weapons in TTW. AFAIK she's one of the two best guns vendors in the game, the other being Flak & Shrapnel, and I'm gonna get crushed by the muties there if I go there now. >>561889183>wasteland 3I have that on Steam, I need to play it sometime.

>>561910680Maybe, but the PTS has gotta bring more stuff next time around.Having reworks and maybe a trickle of newer content can't build interest.
>>561911254>new set bonus potentially can be cool, like making raider pieces to be melee oriented or giving ultracite power armor innate energy damage absorbtion into battery/health like legendary perk cardbut knowing Bethesda it will be something gay like +35 cryo resistance on T-51b
>>561909683That's just an artifact of being on the same engine as the TES games, the only way to have different textures and headshapes is to make them separate races. It wasn't until Fallout 4 that the morphs were advanced enough to only have one race.
>>561909683Probably a carry over from Oblivion?>>561910435Lmao. What if your character is mixed, though? Would the two race bonuses stack? Get random disadvantages? I know the GECK race would probably matter, but maybe if the races had stats, we could pick races of the parents.

Can't wait for next Fallout where people live in burnt out shacks and the setting stagnates further.
>>561922279It's for the best. Bethesda is shit at worldbuilding.
>>561922409I feel like Todd deliberately misunderstands Fallout.
>>561922279Why is Bethesda so allergic to setting games backward in the timeline? They could've easily justified the settings of 3 and 4 by setting them in the Fallout 76/1 era of just after the bombs fell instead of after Fallout 2/NV when people had mostly already rebuilt and moved on from the Great War.
>>561923294it's literally just because they wanted to use stuff like the brotherhood which weren't established until several decades after the bombs fell
>>561922567Probably just strategic laziness. Keeping everything small and self-isolated is easier to manage. That's probably why the show made sure to destroy everything the older games did.
>>561920595>What's next for 76?This year?-Next gen update-New raid-Burning Springs part 2Over the next couple years?-2027: Capital Wasteland part 1-2028: Capital Wasteland part 2
What's dental care in the wasteland like? Probably non existent, eg tooth hurts > get high on med-x and pull it.Some people might brush their teeth, some teeth rot from all the nuka cola and snack cakes.Is it possible there is a dentist out there? As in, able to do dental fillings for people? Small drills and cement, is it even doable?
>>561924372The show destroyed everything becauseA. That is what Van Buren was going to doB. That was THE stated point of the Lonesome Road DLCC. Its the core theme of Fallout
>>561926474in fo1 medx and do itin fo2 maybe a doctor or something to yank it better than you canin fallout 3 there is a boat with extreme levels of medical stuff to learn how to boil water so probably therein new vegas you medx and go for it or visit one of the docs to get it removed. less chance for it to happen because there is more wildlife thats not sugar basedin fallout 4 MIT will teleport a new tooth into your mouth because why the fuck not and it totally wont be a synth tooth

So, I made an error in my formulas. I completely forgot about the Intense Training perks. Ten Levels. Adding that and adjusting my equations, I now have a Max accumulation of 1016 Skill Points for a DLC-Less Vanilla Run. An average of 78 points per Skill, give or take some remnants.There. Choke to death on that Autism Turd.
Still not over 80 Still not the game "giving" you points, you have to spend all your perk points on Intense TrainingStill not as easy as one clicking Almost Perfect then fast travelling to 20 easy marked locations to pick up bobbleheadsFallout 3 has skill books tooYou had to write out all of that and you're still wrong.

Tenpenny is so cartoonishly evil I feel disgusted at my Lone Wanderer for siding with him even as a lawless raider character. I blew up Megaton for the suite and the relative safety of not living near an undetonated nuclear bomb, but he's shooting random wastelanders from the ledge outside his suite calling it "wasteland safari".I'm almost tempted to kill him but that might turn everyone else aggressive and living in a ghost town might be lonely. I wish there was a safehouse in Paradise Falls, they're nice to me.
>>561983332>he's shooting random wastelanders from the ledge outside his suite calling it "wasteland safari"He's mercy killing. That makes him benevolent. Also, how's that any different from shooting animals?
>>561985556Dogs are animals, but that doesn't mean you should murder every random dog you see. Besides, Tenpenny is also a wastelander. He's not a real human bean like a Vault dweller.
What are your favorite small/underrated mods?For me it's:>Real Weapon Names ESPless>Classic Style Perk Gain - 1 perk every three levels
It's kind of insane how many houses in Fallout 3 don't have bathrooms, showers, or even sinks. NV had to implement these basic features for the hardcore mode, 4/76 also had them from what I remember.
>>561983332>MarcusWhat's stopping his victims from, like, capping him back?>>561989495Washington's a way worse state than the Mojave or Boston
>>561993519and yet the Capital area actually had towns and trade routes, whereas the Mojave was basically nothing but spear shucking tribal groups until House organized them 7 years before NV begins.
I 100% most of the DLC cheevos should I go for all of nuka world or should I rush through the main story 4 times so I can get that over with?
>>561993519>Washington's a way worse state than the Mojave or BostonWhat about the pre-war buildings?I got trapped in one earlier when I was exploring the inner city areas and I was down to my last stimpak. Shit was tense. Was planning on staying inside and waiting for the Super Mutant patrols to walk by so I could sneak out unnoticed — then I realized the place doesn't even have a sink and I was dehydrated. Could've made for a nice temporary player home if it made sense. Shame.
Where'd all the color go?:0
>>561993881I hate how obsessed Black Isle was with the damn tribals. Made FO2 all about them even though it made no sense for the community organized by vault dwellers to become some unga bunga camp in just a couple generations.Meanwhile Honest Hearts is such a mediocre and boring DLC
Hows your day going /fog/?>just learned icemens, so i can fuck around crafting dumber weapons.>doing the dailies for the completion of this lacklustre season.
>>561998126Arroyo was dumb but the idea of featuring tribals wasn't; it was a natural progression of the setting since new cultures form and evolve and game designers want player characters who come from isolated backgrounds to justify their lack of knowledge about the setting. The Boomers are basically the same idea done way better and they're classified as tribals by the Fallout definition, the Khans and New Canaanites are also interesting tribes. The Boomers are what Arroyo should've been: very isolationist, secluded, culturally distinct, but still in touch with their origins as vault dwellers — not just some unga bunga camp with shamans and temples like in Fallout 2. The tribes in HH were also retarded but then again, the tribals in Point Lookout were also very dumb, and those are the only tribals in a Bethesda Fallout game (at least AFAIK). I think that this has led to most people not understanding what tribes in Fallout really are, they just see Indian savages banging rocks together and worshipping a brain in a tank and think that's what all tribals in the setting are, and I think the current IP owners want to keep it that way since it's easier to compartmentalize ideas.

Has anyone ever wondered what happened to the kids in this simulation? We don't kill them, did Braun just delete them?
>>562000045I thought the Dead Horses language (supposedly) being a mix of English, Navajo, and German (from tourists) was a neat idea, and being isolated in a national park is one of the most probable explanations for a group of people surviving the bombs and not being able to find significant amounts of pre-war supplies (but you still have to give it a bit of creative license).The Sorrows just make no sense to me, though. Apparently all of the original kids were literate, and the oldest of them was 14 to start off. How did their language change THAT much?
>install seemingly innocent dialogue mod>get thiswow
>>562000998dangerously based
How many Safeguard Program complexes are in the Fallout universe? We have 1 irl that's abandoned. And in FO4 we have the Boston one in the glowing sea that was supposed to be built irl.I really want a pre-war fallout DLC focusing on the ant-nuke places of this setting.

How did their language change THAT much?It's surprising that their language changed at all. They're rather small and interact regularly with trader caravans IIRC, so it would've been easier to just stick with English.
>>562004334I could certainly imagine them coming up with their own nouns, and maybe verbs, for less common things (specific types of guns, for instance). I think giving them a strange accent could also make sense. But yeah I would really expect that things like sentence structure, articles, question words, and all common/everyday words would just be regular (or maybe slightly corrupted) English.
The gauss shotgun is pretty cool. What are some good builds for it?
>>562005117Something else that also peeves me is the fact that all of them are bilingual. What's the point of establishing a new language if you're just going to end up using English anyway? The Dead Horses/Sorrows aren't tribes that attack "auslanders" on sight either, so I wonder why they needed to create a language barrier between them and others.
>>562002993now if this mod let me fuck my dad I'd be interested
>>561961759Again, NOT the guy you were arguing with.
>>562002993He takes his only kid being homosexual in a world full of violent raiders and bloodthirsty mutants surprisingly well.
I think it's cool that you can get the Enclave remnants to fight with you at the Battle of Hoover Dam because old enemies fighting alongside the good guys is a kino trope. What would've been cooler though is if you could get Jacobstown to side with you too, through very specific requirements like sparing Davison, sparing Keene, and getting rid of the mercs harassing Jacobstown (peacefully). Then it would be a complete send-off for the West Coast with no stone left unturned.
>>562011458Hilariously, it's completely in-character. He doesn't care about anything even in the base game.>Hey Dad, good to see you again after so long. I escaped the vault to find you...>You escaped the vault? But why? It was nice down there. In any case, we better get a move on. You need to clear those big green mutants from my new lab. >Dad, what happened to mom?>She died. Very tragic, moving on...>Hey Dad, I kind of, uh... nuked a town off the face of the Earth. >I'm disappointed in you, honey. Anyway, in the mood for a Fancy Lads Snack Cake?

>>562002993That's from Tale of Bi Wastelands TTW, you knew what you were getting into anon.https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/72721
>>562015187I installed TTW BiReputationChecks because it combined TTW Reputation and NV Speech Checks. I wasn't interested in the bi stuff but I just assumed it would make some straight NPCs romanceable as a girl to get some use of Cherchez La Femme (which I don't remember ever being in Fallout 3). I didn't know it added an entire topic where you come out of the closet to your dad.
>>562015613Cherchez La Femme is the lesbian perk, Black Widow is the straight female perk and is already present with dialogue options in vanilla Fallout 3 and TTW. Tale of Bi Wastelands adds options for the Cherchez La Femme and Confirmed Bachelor perks since those perks never existed in Fallout 3.
I'm annoyed at Brave New World. Dracomies didn't carry over any of his fixes from Redesigned, but also doesn't make them separately available. I understand avoiding them in a giant single package (patching nightmare), but I'd like the bathing suits fix for the Ultra Luxe.... to fuckin' bad!>>561831453It's wonky in 3. Played the game 3-4 times before New Vegas came out. Then I played New Vegas twice. Only THEN did I finally learn there was a dog in 3 from someone else and then I found him in my next run. I think he's just really easily missable and vaguely remember a mod to grant him invincibility before you meet him specifically because it was incredibly easy for him to die before you saw him.>>562015613Yeah. That's my general issue with dialogue edit mods. They tend to go too deep into fanfiction compared to just cleaning up the existing dialogue.
>>562016203That's my point. I thought it would just give you the Black Widow speech options but for female characters with Cherchez La Femme, because Fallout 3 doesn't have Cherchez La Femme and I'm playing with TTW. It did do that in Underworld as it gave me two options to screw Greta and Gob's mom, but it also gives me some other dialogue options (like with Dad) that seem out of left field.
>>562016602>Black Widow Meant to say Lady Killer. Anyway.
>>562016602The options with Greta and Carol weren't in vanilla Fallout 3, they are just fanfiction too.
>>562016359>Yeah. That's my general issue with dialogue edit mods. They tend to go too deep into fanfiction compared to just cleaning up the existing dialogue.I think in this case, it's a bit egregious too. The Lone Wanderer is 19 IIRC. They could be gay or bi or whatever — just like the Courier can be — but that conversation would've been had with Liam Neeson many years ago. Just seems like a very inopportune moment to come out of the closet to your dad.
>>562017132There's good fanfiction and then there's bad fanfiction. I don't mind more options if they kinda make sense, I think Greta and Carol were lesbians in Fallout 3 to begin with even if you couldn't do anything with them.
>>562016359>Brave New WorldIsn't that the mod that replaces one of the Brotherhood techs with YongYea? Some of the new voices are okay but I wish it was more modular.
Is there a way to roleplay as a cultured psychopath who spends his days in country clubs laughing at poor people and his nights hunting the most dangerous game in Fallout that does not involve playing Fallout 3?
>>562019775You could do a Patrick Bateman build in New Vegas by obtaining the Lucky 38 suite, then hovering around Freeside at night to kill random people in their sleep with or without Mister Sandman.
>>561762415Be advised that the average American socialist unironically thinks that there's unlimited money and resources that could be given away for free to every person on Earth to allow them to live in total harmony without any needs or suffering---but also think that like six White dudes in suits just gobbled all of it up and have it all sitting in giant warehouses full of food and gold and cash.And they believe these CEOs do this for literally no reason.Those socialists are the ones writing your video games. You are consuming media written by mental defectives.
>>562020880Good thing no socialist outside the US takes them serious since the most basic bitch thing to do if you're a self described socialist is to be against imperialism while they are perfectly fine with it if America does it.
>>562020347Well I'm definitely installing the Eulogy Jones suit mod in any caseGotta say I'm disappointed in modders, there's basically no good options for sporting jackets or anything resembling a good Beldingford Manor fit

I don't know why I keep getting mixed answers about this simple question on the internet, so let me ask here.What happens if I fail a skill check in New Vegas?I know I can't try again immediately, but after I increase the related skill, can I try again? Or is it gone forever?
>>562136335todd wants you to spill your seed to into american women
So I've 100%'d everything but Nuka world how annoying are the cheevos? I'm starting to get bored at this point
>>562127230the unfortunate thing is that a vast majority of things are locked behind plans that drop from certain events or paywalled in the atomic shop that has things on rotation, so you can't really take your pick without jumping through hoops with support tickets. the exploration was very good and being able to swap perks on the fly was really fun for experimentation. if you can get the game for cheap, I would give it a go. I got somewhere around 2,300 hours out of it before I finally got burnt out.
>>562138759>What happens if I fail a skill check in New Vegas?>I know I can't try again immediately, but after I increase the related skill, can I try again? Or is it gone forever?Depends.It's gone forever usually because most speech checks are a one-time deal, like demanding more bottle caps or convincing a specific quest NPC to not aggro you. The only exception AFAIK are oversights like certain repeatable conversation topics that can lead to a speech check even though you've already passed/failed it, I think these are mostly found on quest NPCs like the characters in Wang Dang Atomic Tango.

>>562035563I think it overstays its welcome slightly. By the time I finish the space walk I feel like it should've already ended.

The TV show is amazing. Fallout 76 is the best Fallout game ever made. Bethesda should keep making more Fallout games like it and should never lose the license.april fools

>>562160247>The TV show is amazingThis but unironically. With the context of the games, it's bad. But if you were a complete normalfag with zero past Fallout knowledge and this was your first experience with the series, it's pretty decent. I think it's better than most other westernslop TV shows.

Fallout 3 newbie. Aside from megaton's layout giving me a headache, it's fun so far. Are there any mods to make it look it a bit more colorful? I know 7th gen games look like this in general, but wtf?>Sweetie, just dip your balls in nuclear water, it's for science. >I know we just met, but how does risking your life in literal mine field sound?>I can probably defuse the bomb, but it gives people "hope"Is moria a retarded genius or is she just coping?

Which story route is the easiest to do in Fallout NV?
>>562162294>Is moria a retarded genius or is she just coping?For some reason, a lot of Fallout 3 characters are written to have skills they shouldn't logically possess. Like your Dad is really just some wastelander, but he can hack terminals, fix the power generators in the Jefferson Memorial, construct an extremely amazing ebin water purifier, and also worked as a physician for the vault. This means he's well-studied in engineering, computer science, biology, and probably something to do with environmental science too. He's basically a jack of all trades, he's not specialized in a couple of specific fields (as he would be in reality). Moira is the same in some regards because the plot calls for it. She has to have some level of medical knowledge because she's studying the effects of radiation/injury on the human body, she has to have some level of understanding of animal biology because she's studying mirelurks and molerats, she HAS to have some understanding of explosives because of the mines. In reality, a tinkerer like Moira wouldn't know anything about how mirelurks work. And Dad would probably know enough about human physiology to be a doctor but he wouldn't know anything about how to repair 200 year old power generators and get all the complex machinery up and running again after 200 years, all on his own. I mean, Project Purity had engineers like Daniel Agincourt for a reason, but the whole team basically does nothing from the moment you assemble them again. You flip a few switches and then the Enclave shows up. Ranting aside, Moira is that same kind of character. She knows stuff because the plot needs her to know stuff, better not to question it. That being said, I do like to believe that she's playing up the cute retard angle a bit to get you to throw yourself in harm's way for her benefit.
>>562160628>With the context of the games, it's bad.This makes no sense.
>>562131019still good, nothing wrong with it
>>562164136You mean the factions? I think the Legion or Yes Man are the easiest questlines because the Legion doesn't have many quests and you can tell Yes Man to ignore a bunch of the minor factions that you would otherwise have to deal with on an NCR/House playthrough.

I wonder if Moira indirectly inspired the Vault 101 overseer to become super-duper isolationist, screwing over most of the Megaton residents and coincidentally dooming the vault. According to Fallout 3's CK, we know that Old Lady Palmer's daughter Anne died in the wasteland. On the Overseer's terminal, we find out that Anne Palmer was one of the members of the V101 recon team and she never returned. It's subtly implied that the Armored Vault 101 jumpsuit once belonged to her, as Moira explains that she offered to armor a Vault (101) dweller's suit who never returned and probably died. With Jonas being killed by the overseer in the middle of the security lockdown at the beginning of the game and James being gone (and soon dead), V101 is left without a doctor. They can't survive. They were training Jonas as James' protege but now they're fucked because he's dead. They can't even find another skilled physician like James because Janice is dead, Madison Li joined the Institute. They can only scout for wasteland doctors, who are basically glorified sawbones; their solution to wrist pain would probably be a swift amputation. So no matter what ending you pick for V101, it's screwed, which is sad.
I guess my next playthrough of Fallout 4 will be as Bos
wtf is this captcha
If Synths don't need to eat, drink, or sleep (or poop) and they don't contract diseases, then wouldn't the Institute's plan just not work? And same with the Railroad? Like imagine you decided to pull three all-nighters in a row and you're still wide awake and you haven't went to the bathroom in three days, wouldn't you start to worry about your health? Then when you talk to a doctor about it, they have no idea about it either? Then your X-ray results come back; you have a metal component lodged in your neocortex, and after some digging you find out that the Railroad wiped your memories and gave you new ones. The doctor decides to mix the water he gives you to drink with plutonium, and you don't get irradiated? Wouldn't that like set off 100 red flags not only to you but to everyone else?
