>>573447261>>573429765>Most successful indie games have taken 1 to 3 years to make>Meanwhile, most modders waste up to 10 years failing to make fan projects that legally can't make profitModding games is a humiliation ritual. By making and using mods, you're inadvertently helping AAA games sell more copies. But worst of all, you're doing it for free and taking it very seriously.
>>573449489So cucked by the new brown stacy, he takes gayming seriously at allJeets won
>found someone selling the dumb imposter outfit i was farming forpog i can stop burning caps
>>573450375I have no idea what the fuck you're talking about with that 5 layer buzzword burrito, but I've always had the belief that modding games is a waste of time. Besides, I only play games I enjoy.
>>573450609>Not playing the one fallout that can't be modded76 wonnerd. Single player sissies tears
>>573450725But anon, I do play 76. And I enjoy it too.
FACT: If the new game is actually good, no one will admit to it.
>>573450464Congrats, anon.>>573450949>But anon, I do play 76. And I enjoy it too.Nice.Thread question,>What unique weapon do you plan to use next season?For my own answer, the unstoppable monster and drill fist are gonna be main use.>if all the current changes stay the same.
>>573452046Biv companion when?
>>573447261But have enough people left the company and them having new mandates be too restrictive? Todd spent the TV show on destroy or changing everything that was made about the non Bethesda games. This feels like such a weird move
>>573452915>Biv companion when?Not soon enough.
how the fuck do i break en06's shield while solo? deflecting damage does fuckall to the shield, and every time i attack all i see is 0 damage. if i use a tesla rifle, will the chain lightning hit the shield generator?

>>573447261>saw*er
>>573455628Josh is definitely a nutjob but since Tim Caine retired at least he's not getting gassed up by that retard so maybe he can keep the voices out long enough to ship the game.
>>573455628I won't even pretend to know who this guy is. If he was blocked, it was probably for good reasons. Nobody who wants to discuss video games wants to see hateful chud shit on their social media pages.
>>573452046>>What unique weapon do you plan to use next season?uhh the ogua gauntlet's increased block seems cool so i might work on getting exploding palm ranks and stuff
>>573455743tim cain hasn't worked on any game with josh ever THOUGH
>>573455743cain only partially retired, he still helps obsidian with stuff
We need to know how many lesbian npcs next fallout game has to know how good it is.More lesbians the better its the rulezBoth fallout 4 and starfield had none so they came out bad
>>573456587welp it's over then. One retard at helm is survivable if everyone else keeps level head and keeps him in check but if there is someone sabotaging the team effort it's all over.
>>573454032you are not ready for this conversation. Go back to doing whatever you've been doing and let time do it's thing.
>>573456892>vagueposting on 4chani was ready to deal with retards in the replies, but not a super retard like you

New fallout game will take place in the Black Belt and instead of Ghouls there will be southerners
>>573456776based and true
How will the new fallout game credits look like?
>>573447261I hope it's not New Vegas 2 but something else...
>>573452173Jeet woman will bring in more jeets and AI instead.
>>573447261Soo... what was phil Spencer doing the past 7 years.

>>573463964Who's Sarah?
>>573465062thisdevs love nothing more than tinkering on projects. they don't actually care if the game is good or even just comes out. to them the creative process is all that matters. and phils hands-off approach suited them perfectly.

>>573452046I'm still new to 76, but whichever melee/unarmed one looks cool :)
>>573474737I think its because of the patches incompatibility. You may have downloaded a patch for a mod, that isnt even on your modlist. Try reinstalling the mods. I had a similiar thing happening to me, when I installed FGPE Living Desert Patch without downloading The Living Desert and the game would crash the second i started it trough MO2
>>573452046TQ: Looking forward to making my Anchorage Ace Bloodied, VATS, Lucky Hit, Conductor's.
>mfw penelope tells me robots can't make friends
https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/106091Another one
literally what was stopping bethesda from making a game like 1:1 sized or even 3/4 the size of fallout 4, not adding new features, just refine what you have of the current engine, and dropping an ES and fallout spin off between es6 and f5? 20 years (likely longer) between titles is basically looking for a new audience at that point. this wasnt mismanagement it was like intent to fail
at this point even the new xbox pajeet wants to play a new fallout game, holy shit she is even making obsidian make one too

>>573455628Exactly what I'm worried about.
>Get a full set of Vulcan PA>Never use it>Get a full set of Union PA>Never use it>Get a full set of T-65 PA>Never use it
>RPG Gameplay Tweaks is causing doctor healing to not work>the mod page says this bug was fixed
>>573486449I fixed it
>>573486449I bugged it
What has changed since then?
>>573487747more content
>>573455628Just realized that I have him blocked too. I don't remember when, but everyone I block is a loser.Josh is in the right, and I think his next Fallout game will be great.
>>573455628I don't have much faith this new Fallout will be good. All creatives became shit and crazy when leftism started to become more about identity politics. It's weird how these people claim the rich is using the culture war to divide the masses, even though they're the ones acting out that division by vilifying white people.
>>573484383She probably looked at the obscene amount of money Fallout makes and like any reasonable person asked "why the fuck aren't we doing anything with this?"Xbox and microsoft are run by complete fucking retards.
>>573447261BREAKING NEWS: FALLOUT NEW VEGAS 2 WILL BE CRINGE AND GAY>source: some literal who in the algorithm
>>573496053I mean… should we just forgo pattern recognition because some anti-Woke people are cringe? Look at Veilguard and the Saints Row reboot. These series were originally normal. Then they change the tone completely into gay shit. Saints Row was a little gay starting with the third one, but it still maintained it's normal feeling, but the gay stuff was presented from a different standpoint. It was done knowing it was comedic, rather than done to be the norm. Leftists seem to think normal masculinity is unhealthy, and that men should be completely emotional open at all times, even though that can be exploited, especially by women.
>>573496053>literally everything coming out in the past 10 years is cringe and gay>Somehow you still expect "this one will be different"Stop being retarded
Any new fallout from obsidian would be bad, not because any talent from the studio (what little is left) but because it'd be making a game with the dumbest people on the planet hovering over you the entire time.Let me know when they confirm the game's being made on unreal 6 and will have heavy a.i. integration.
>>573454685*Alcoholic, but yes.>>573455954Could see an auto block build being fun with the Ouga gauntlet.>exploding palm ranksDo you already have taking one for the team?Exploding palm has its drawbacks, namely how many NPCs i've indirectly murdered with the radius.>>573477343Depends on what you consider cool, are you more of a futuristic weapon guy or skin and bone weapon guy?>>573479131>Anchorage AceNice choice, the unique effect they currently have sounds nice for a gun.>10% deflect chanceI think more people are happy the fun weapons are gonna be modifiable now.
what mods do i install for FO4 if i think everything about it is cringe and gay, except for the gunplay, robots, power armors, exploration and far harbor
>>573502019I've been tinkering with mods for months now anon If you want to actually play the game get a modpack instead
>>573502019Frost. Cuts out all the gay shit and turns it into a survival shooter.
>>573479705don't believe her lies
Honky
>>573479705Fuck that whore. Cut off her tits and head and fuck her neckhole.
>>573449489the autism that most mod makers possess is a double edged swordI've experienced this myself, and, unlike them, I know my limits when I've bitten off more than I can chew when it comes to making something. That or they're just ideas guys with no knowledge or understanding of how these systems work.
>>573501929Skin, bone, or just a stick usually. Beating up robots with a stick is my power fantasy. The simpler the tool, the better.
I've been resetting in 76 for 3 hours to try and snag some overalls. It's not going well :(Thanks for reading my blog...
>>573501929>Do you already have taking one for the team?no but i'm never on a team and i've already chopped friendly npcs on accident even without exploding palm so it should be okay
>>573513051i spent a similar amount of time lazily trying to do the raider side gold quest, stupidly buggy but at least i can use my bullion now
>>573499642Yes, you should forgo pattern recognition, and assume the best. Support the franchises you like.
>>573516021That sounds Jewish.
>>573510617>Skin, bone, or just a stick usually.Maybe a sheepsquatch staff/club, or a hog splitter.The plans are a pain to get, but it can be rotten or on fire.>>573513051What kind of overalls?>>573515094>no but i'm never on a teamAh, then continue with the exploding palm and maybe some legendary special.>>573515351>faction rep questsFuck that noise, hated how little they started off with for rep grind.
>>573518904That does sound and look pretty cool :)I've killed two sheepsquatches in the wild, so maybe I'll make that a goal in the future.And the gray fisherman overall. I just like the color of them (and the black ones aren't available right now, it looks like.) I got longfellow's coat and a couple other goodies, but these overalls are very elusive.
>>573519563I have a spare grey overalls and the staff plan if you want them.
>>573521013What a chad... I at least want to struggle for the weapon when I get to the point of it mattering. Would you take the longfellow coat for the overalls?
>>573521293> I at least want to struggle for the weapon when I get to the point of it mattering.Believe me, that struggle is only a little less painful than trying to get some outfits.Free range is a pain to get to spawn, and i have a longfellow coat already.
>>573513051I carried some lowbie a while back through the raid and they gave me the red asylum outfit out of nowhere I didn't even know that it was a rare outfit at the time.
>>573522923>they gave me the red asylum outfit out of nowhereHoly shit.You kept it, right?
>>573521795The pain only makes it better. And you could have a duplicate if you want it. I don't know values of stuff, or care much.
>>573523461Still got it
>>573523476>The pain only makes it betterOk, then just keep an eye out for free rangeand be ready for a chance of a hard boss after the event>And you could have a duplicate if you want itIts ok, im just trying to help out with things i know people want.>>573524095>Still got itNice.
>>573523250At least they'll enjoy themselves before being closed down. You could argue that's not even a bad thing.
>>573447261I know it'll be shit, but God please let it be good.
https://www.ign.com/articles/the-elder-scrolls-6-will-suffer-because-of-xbox-layoffs-bethesda-staff-say-fearing-delays-crunch-and-generational-talent-being-replaced-by-contractors>"It seems like the company wants to make up the loss in talent with outsourcers," one staff member said, pointing to a similar situation in the studio's "decimated" QA department, where work formerly undertaken by in-house employees has now been taken up by overseas staff at development outsourcing firm Keywords. "I've heard from my colleagues that they're already being asked to train new contractors. I have no idea how they'll continue updating Fallout 76 without hiring an external studio."Welp, there goes my FO1st sub. I can't continue to support the widespread replacement of the western world. I'm inches away from uninstalling this crap.
>>573524530I'll keep an eye on the local events :DHow do you actually meet people to exchange stuff in 76? It seems like server entry is pretty random.
>>573524991They used cheap Indian labour for Starfield.
>>573524806The monkeys paw indicates it'll be meh.>>573525274>How do you actually meet people to exchange stuff in 76? By adding them as friendsNEET4lyf.
>>573525847And look how it came out? I didn't buy Starfield either. I played an hour or two on goy pass then dropped it forever, along with goy pass. I don't know how 76 can continue. This will likely be its last year.
>>573526010I'll add you in just a minute then. My name is kinda dumb, but I think it was just randomly generated since I'm a steam-y.
>playing fo3 with CotW and shojo race>some teens get replaced with kids as a feature?the tunnel snakes bit was like something out of south park. it was also pretty fun shooting everyone to death on my way out. i'm not usually a murder hobo but playing as an evil kid is fun
>Obsidian releases Starfield with tribals>Fallout 4 becomes completely irrelevant
>obsidian fallout I like it. >all the layoffsI do not like it.
>>573527473>Obsidian cuts the fat and fires all the shit retards and DEI hires that made all their awful shit from the last 15 years Ummmm based?
>>573527624>DEI hires>outsourced pajeetsPick your poison.
>>573527758Obsidian isn't Bethesda.
back to v retards
>>573527895Obsidian got layoffs too.
>>573528131And Obsidian is not Bethesda. They won't be outsourcing to jeets.
>>573528241They're both under the same corporate umbrella. They'll be pulling labor from the same place.
>>573528357That isn't how it works.
>>573528437All I'm saying is be prepared for Obsidian's next Fallout game to have a credits page filled with names like Sunjar, Rakshit, Poopaloop, and Fecaljeet. That's what their bosses want for them.
>>573528792Listen, it's going to be the first good game since 2012 and you're going to like it.
>upcoming seasons power armor skin is getting a matching jetpackI wish the niggas playing this game had bitched when the edison paint came out so it could have gotten a matching backpack instead.
>>573526010Thanks a bunch for the cool clothes and the house tour :D I'm gonna go catch some fish and do some main quests.Camp creativity has been pretty neat, but yours was great! I really liked the fish tanks, on top of everything else.
>>573447431WHO!?!
Behold the intellectual might of DOCTOR MOBIUS!Would you like a mentat?>>573528956I appreciate your optimism. I guess we'll see, one way or another.
>x company game studio union
>>573529590>Thanks a bunch for the cool clothes and the house tour :DNo problem, glad to help.> I really liked the fish tanks, on top of everything else.Its all the Axolotls from the year, you get a title for it and its nice to have them moving around.
>grounded mostly outsourcedhuh. I mean we knew it was co-developed but "mostly outsourced" makes it sound Obsidians involvement is negligible.
>>573447261I can't wait for the Todd slurpers to come out of the wood work and claim that "fallout is now tranny slop" once this game comes out. These will be the same faggots playing 76 now.
>>573530106>Shadowrun game put on pauseThis hurts a bit. Not that I'm a massive fan of Shadowrun or anything, but that kind of setting would be fantastic for Gonzalez.
I don't think about you at all
>>573530106Why does he still talk about Fergus' company
>>573526071I guess it really will be that they release the Capital Wasteland (it'll be barebones as fuck because everyone got fired before they could finish it) and then they'll just keep it on life support forever.No Skyline Valley reworkNo Burning Springs parts 2 and 3That'll be itYou know I was actually starting to have a bit of hope for 76 before this year. Then all the patches so far have been nothing and now thisI really do wonder just how empty the Capital Wasteland will be. I think they got a good amount of it done, judging by how clearly they left the main game to rot all year, but now they'll need to wrap it up with their skeleton crew
I want to fuck Amata so bad
I hope Obsidian make Fallout in Florida in the year 2100 or something.

>>573532106Speaking of, how's that Fallout Miami mod going?
>>573526071>>573528792So it'll be something like this?
>Watch videos about Fallout 76>English videos are full of grifters>Randomly find a Japanese video>Randomly find a French video>They're both honest, informative, and funnyDoes western culture make people retarded?
>>573535381english is just the standard grifting language of the world
>>573535381being the lingua franca of the world and the internet means people will sell you shit in it.
>>573535381why do you Slavs constantly make these retarded posts
>>573535381Shame the one JP girl I used to watch got bullied out of doing videos for it anymore because she wanted to stop doing vtubing.
its gonna be shit, they are now retarded old people who want to put it full of political ideas instead just making a video game
>>573540642>retarded old people who want to put it full of political ideas instead just making a video gameSo you're saying they want to make new vegas again

>>573541484it's just something to talk aboutnot like it would make a difference being fake or not it wouldn't come out anytime soon

>>573540071>vtubingI used to be good friends with a gal that eventually became a vtuber. Long story short, vtubing is a deranged cult that ruins people.
>>573542540Good luck to the ones that want to quit that shit as well. The fans of it aren't people and should never be treated as such.

Is new vegas still buggy garbage?
>>573550797New Vegas is not garbage. I would have beat your ass if you said that in front of me.
>>573452173BasedthesdaFurries out
>>573452173Why does his character have a Light Armor shield mixed with Heavy Armor?
>>573551974Because NPCs and promotional images do not metagame.
https://youtu.be/_lKsRbJgDjQOFFICIAL THREAD THEME!!!!!!
>>573552306I wouldn't call it metagaming. It's basic gameplay mechanics. That's like saying using all the armor pieces slots in Fallout 4 is metagaming.
>>573515351>raider side gold questI just reached the point of picking sides. Is that shit STILL bugged? Should I just do settlers?
New Vegas 2 gonna be like:>"Gender… Gender always changes…"
>>573554027The game will be about controlling the long-lost Archimedes-T satellite. It fires an energy beam from space that changes your gender if it hits you.
>>573553065Okay, I will rephrase. NPCs and promotional images do not give a fuck about statistical effectiveness of their gear. They are given gear by levelled lists or by the promo image creator and that's what they use. It is not a player who has specced into light or heavy armor and tries to get the full set bonus. You may as well ask why he isn't wearing the Imperial helmet he picked up in Helgen. It wasn't in Helgen because it isn't a player.
>>573544293heh, look at this chud still playing SINGLEPLAYER fallout games. you should play 76 like the rest of us, and-->it still crashes sometimesAIEEEEEEE SAVE ME MICROSOFT!!!
>>573554472They *should* care, though. Because gamers will call this kind of shit out, causing the company to loose millions.
>Fallout 76 in 4>perfect terrific can't wait>alphagreat that will be another 5 years of waiting
>>573555935It will be killed by Microsoft lawyers before the year is out
>>573518904>and maybe some legendary special.i've kinda actually already got my special planned and i kinda really love what rads, brawling chemist, and master infiltrator too much (alongside some more meta ones) so i wouldn't be able to fit it anyways, i'd love to use that perk if it didn't have the team requirement tho because i love tanking the yetis and stuff
>>573556152doubt.jpg, it requires two steam purchases of the gamesIts basically automating what anyone could already do
>>573535381>>Randomly find a French video>informativebut last i saw france was black now so that doesn't make any sense
>>573553894sorry i fell asleep but literally like every stage of that quest is bugged, theres a bug at the start where the npc doesn't fully walk into position and gets stuck there, another bug 2 minutes later where they do the same thing moving into a room, and another bug like 5 mins after that where ra ra can get stuck after going in a vent and she never opens the door, had all 3 happen randomly until it just worked idk, i really like the raider side more than the other guys tho so i just did it lazily like i said until it worked, probably only took like 1 or 1.5 hours if i was sitting there just doing it and restarting without stopping as often to alt tab
>>573452046>What unique weapon do you plan to use next season?Ice breaker and Cryolator sound like they will be fun. Icemen's won't be adding cryo to everything it seems which is probably for the best.Was looking forward to the anchorage ace but it feels a bit vanilla for a unique.Definitely will be fiddling with elemental stuff given the new PTS changes coming up later today. Boiling point and Ultracite terror sword are on my list.
>>573556476its funny because one of the most intelligent New Vegas video essays was done by some black troon
>>573447261Haven't played since before Todd decided to fuck up all my mods when the Fallout London thing was about to drop. Should I reinstall it and sort through my piles of mods
>>573557838wait until the fo76 port to 4 gets released. Appalachia is soul. Boston is gay and irish
i find it unbelievable there isn't a mod that changes Cait's disgusting accent. I don't want a plastic paddy screeching in my ear, its like nails on chalkboard
>>573558236caitfag is dead anon, let it go.
>>573556184> i'd love to use that perk if it didn't have the team requirement tho because i love tanking the yetis and stuffIts one of those things they should rework a little.>>573557493>Icemen's won't be adding cryo to everything it seems which is probably for the best.Wait, what?also, anyone else notice this unique in the pts?
>>573558265idgaf about that i genuinely despise that they made Cait a mick
>>573558236Cait should have rock hard lickable abs and freckles on her six pack. Larger thighs and she should show off her torso too. Maybe they could fix up her face a little and make it so she can princess carry you around the wasteland. She should be my FO4 gorilla gf.
>>573558408>Wait, what?
>>573558782i can do all that with mods but not the voice, its unbearableshe should have an american accent
>>573557919Sounds neato, definitely would be refreshing compared to the same shit again. Never touched 76, so exploration should be interesting.
>>573558853>2 star slot instead of 4th starOn the upside i guess i can put thrill seekers on things to get the swing speed
>>573559091I personally like it, but it would be nice if they explained why she has the accent beyond the mere assumption that her parents were Irish. Imagine if the raiders did something fucked up to her like removing her voice box, and then through some wacky Fallout tech magic they managed to surgically connect her vocal chords to an voice modulator with an Irish accent? They did something similar with Weasel in 76.
>>573559581*a voice modulator
>>573559581some sicko brainwashed her when she was in slavery because he had a fetish for irish skanks
>>573558236I like her voice desu
>jsawyer, gonzalez, tim cain as an idea guywait... it might actually be good
The reason Cait is irish is Emil is a plastic paddy. He is obsessed with including Irish characters and things in every game he touches He no doubt found out Fo1 there is a joke irish encounter and took that as sigh its completely canon to stick irish characters in the games.If Cait was written well and not by Emil(because hes an idiot) she would be all american and maybe you could find out she has irish ancestry doing her quest or from dialogue.
>>573449489The reason London is the only one that came out is because it's the only one used explicitly as a portfolio piece instead of a passion project.This is also why it's extremely soulless.
>>573560726This also exposes a question Emil and Bethesda refuse to answer despite forcing so heavily:>exacly how much do wastelanders know about the pre-war world

>>573561481>Huh? Godfather Part 1 is just boring and not very creative. Not sure what you're talking about.
>>573560862thats nonsense. All the big mods are being used in people resumes and portfolios for years now.The artists that worked on f4nv for instance have it on their portfolio they worked on it. Never mind none of these mods have actually released, Its a massive con and grift basically. A revolving door of troons that all claim they worked on these projects that have never been released so they can get into the industry.Ive witnessed the grift myself, i literally saw El****a helping a modder into the industry using his work he never actually released. Robbed of a good mod by that stupid woke whore
>>573561986That's just artists in general, not really saying much.

>>573562305Oblivion and Oblivion: With Guns have been a disaster for the modder race.
>>573562305>>573562551Yeah its basically diverting actual talented modders energies into these big projects and wasting it.Its been my major complaint about the fo4 modding scene for years. We seem to get hardly any good mods, why? the modders already blew their load in these projects that never see the light of day and moved on
>>573562279>avoids the question againyou are either a failed modder or, some contrarian who always spams that london is bad without having even played it.
>>573562305>>573562551>>573562713It is kind of a trap, I agree.That's part of why I'm planning on taking my contributions and turning them into a legally distinct VN with stats because that's less never-ever and will be more rewarding creatively in the long run.There is this fantasy of "what if I made Fallout with africanamericanjack and sex workers" that drives a lot of people to stuff like this, and many projects just become a stew of overinflated immature egos, grifting, proselytizing, and sunk-cost-driven development.It is what it is.I do think smaller mods accomplish more in terms of sharing ideas and enjoyment over these landmark, monolith pieces. My stint as a BG3 modder felt good, and it also feels good to be done and away from it.

>>573566904Soft woke, I would say. The same way Baldur's Gay 3 is. Everyone is kind of fruity and Californian.It's also how all the characters are soft and agreeable, and the only way you know you're supposed to like them is that they're "wholesome".It's a stepping stone to the overt, in your face type of woke that Veilguard is.It's been that way since Pillars 2. Used to be more under wraps before, but you could sense it even in Pentiment with the heckin wholesome gay monks, heckin wholesome black guy in a random German village, etc.
>>573558853That's cool and all, but WHEN THE FUCK ARE WE GETTING THE UPDATE, I WANT NEW WEAPONS TO PLAY WITH
I'm trying to mod NV to get a playable 2026 experience. But, I'm on linux. I'm using amethyst mod manager and I'm attempting to install Gopher's collections from nexusmods (downloaded zips using a greasemonkey userscript) but when I finish, the game does not run.Any linux users here? I know I'm asking in the niche site for a niche old game for a niche OS, but I would gladly appreciate any help.On the other hand; could I just mod the game on my old windows laptop; check if it runs; then copy and paste the folder to my steamapps one in my linux system? Or do some of the patchers like the 4GB or NVSE or whatever "install" something else somewhere else besides the game forder?
Damn... 76 really lost over 25% of its playerbase in a year after giving away free glowing masks to everybody. Even the show didn't give them any sort of boost... Sad...

>>573615037The first fallout game you could do a same-sex marriage and romances but they weren't just there.Fallout 2 had the first in game same sex marriage that was just there. Also you're fighting the remnants of the US government who are racial purists.Fallout 3 had some extreme racism points (necropolis, Tenpenny) and the same racial purists.Fallout NV had 2 gay companions, had critiques of a dozen ideologies, with a black guy lecturing you for 10 minutes in a DLC about how to interpret the game.Fallout 4 was the least woke of the series. It was just anti-slaveryFallout 76 has some rather pro-commie ideas in it, between the communist front business feeding the poor.
>>573616147>Fallout 4 was the least woke of the seriesWrong. Fallout 4 was the most woke. Bethesda was so afraid of controversy FO4 Avoids any edgy or sensitive topics like the plague. A great example is Caits drug addicted parents inexplicably waiting for her 18th birthday to sell her into sex slavery.

Icemens adds 20% cryo to your BASE damage making it far stronger than a 50% additive bonus to weapons that already have cryo which there aren't that many in the first place and they arent that good to begin with anyways.
As another Settlement project, I've been dressing up provisioners so they're themed for their supply line. Settler or synth in BOS gear goes to Boston Airport, Atom marine armor goes to the Kingsport Lighthouse, etc.
>>573614549>low-effort AI thumbnail clickbait-spam peddlerno thoughts, I actively avoid his videos
can't see it too well, but the one on the left is wearing an assault gas mask and some modded Minutemen outfits and bagsgot tired of the synths and was just spawning in generic settlers, took 20-30 tries to get a Ghoul to send to the Slog
>>573619348You could just get this mod for the Slog https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/89504
So far, 99% of my supply lines are from the Castle outward. I think that connects all settlement workshops, technically, right? Might be nice to have some more ghouls radiating from the Slog, to simulate tarberry deliveries. Oh, one benefit of the synth provisioners: they're part of the Robot Home Defense mod, so they don't count toward Population nor resource expenditure!
>>573619563I do have that, and the one that spawns Minutemen at the Castle. Might need to set up beacons for it. I have 30 people at Outpost Zimonja with 2 beds, and piddling numbers everywhere else, just because I left the beacon on there. Oops.

>>573620371What this image ignores is that the power point in question wasn't "here is why you're game is bad", it was "here is how you used the engine inefficiently, and how you can do stuff easier the next time" because the orignal intent was that Obsidian would do another NV like spinoff at some point.

I'm going to help you accomplish so much, whether I want to or not!
>>573603107No mentions of Obsidian working under Bethesda. The exact words is that Bethesda is "co-developing" it. Not that they're in charge of the project.
>NV 2>body Type 1 or 2>pronouns, that npcs will use while speaking to you>you can change your gender and pronouns at any time
>>573622836>NPCs will have the most reactivity to your gender changes, with NPCs congratulating you on embracing your new identity
I hope Obsidianout 2 is more roleplay friendly and less railroady like Skyrim(or modded Skyrim since vanilla is also kinda railroady)Like I can go straight to Vegas and clean out the casinos and stuff but then House and the factions are all breathing down my neck. This wouldn't be a problem with a post-game, so maybe I just want Obsidian to be allowed to finish development of Obsidianout 2.
>>573625635If you watch Sawyer's youtube videos, which I recommend if you're into game design, he's extremely autistic when it comes to RPG mechanics and systems, and player freedom, and usually he forced himself to cut out most of the things he wants to put in otherwise the game would never release. He mentions how when making FNV, "higher ups" want him to streamline the reload animations for a lot of the revolvers and lever action rifles, and he told them that was non-negotiable because he wanted for the player to be able to role play as a cowboy gunslinger if they wanted to, and after a ton of fighting they eventually let him keep the slower reload animations. He honestly seems like the perfect choice for Fallout right now after 76. New Vegas was also supposed to have a post game and it was pretty near done, with tons of voices lines and scripted events finished, but it was cut.
>let him keep the slower reload animationsso he was the one responsible for making the combat suck balls
>>573628583You don't have to use revolvers and lever action rifles anon. You get a 9mm as your first gun and it has the fastest reload in the game. The choice is always yours, because FNV is an RPG and not a looter shooter like Bethesda's games.
>>573616147you got to be retarded if you think 76 is pro-commie
>>573628686>Mama Dolice being objectively good>The Ash Heap being nuked to shit because corpos wanted to fuck over the actual miners.>Burning Springs happening because of Abraxodyne doing Project Meadow BreezeIt's not pro-commie but it's anti-corpo and anti-anarchocapitalist.
>>573629289ok you are actually retarded. Mama Dolce has a chicom base under it plotting to kill americans Theres a holotape of one of the chicoms that cries to his mother because he literally cannot stand freedomThey got little "liberation" robots that try to kill youEtcThe only pro-chicom thing was who ever ran the atom shop for many years insisted on forcing chicom item sales regularly

>>573532135AR2 v1.1.3 is live. New Flamer variant + Bugfixes
>>573634690Is there a Flamer replacement for Enclave soldiers? The homemade look clashes with the sleek PA. Something like the Capital Wasteland Flamer would look a lot better.
>>573556789I just did the settler quest. I ran into a bug where a door didn't open, and I had to phase through a wall to progress. I really wish I could have done the raider quest but I didn't want to deal with 76 ways that one could bug out.
>>573635175I don't have AR2 to make a patch, but I made a standalone version of the Capital Wasteland Flamer from the Point Lookout mod. I added PA backpack support, a palette swap for the upgraded napalm tanks mod, and edited the 3rd person reload animations to use the reload sound from 3/NV instead of the vanilla 4 reload sound, which didn't fit the animation. I've posted it before but this version includes the replaced reload sound.https://mega.nz/file/VtkwXJAC#DTFvI1BBL6yECwk3bqYlGQX5lkPAZGbEWEwlA_WeWA4https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/fa1159d8319fc277cd028374cddb27073773b2867c0038bdb2dca63762ea2415

>>573629289>The Ash Heap being nuked to shit because corpos wanted to fuck over the actual miners.That was actually a reference to a very real idea that some dipshits had in the 50's of using nukes to strip mine. Remember this was in the same decade where everyone started drawing up plans for nuclear-powered cars, nuclear air-to-air missiles on fighter aircraft, nuclear shoulder-mounted bazookas (Davy Crocketts), and nuclear-powered kitchens.

Everyone is celebrating, albeit justifiably, a bit too early (I'm guilty of this too). Schreier has admitted that development is still extremely early, and despite Avowed 2's cancellation, a skeleton crew is still working on the game under Microsoft's nose because it was likely close to completion and they hope to pitch it again to Microsoft one day. This is just the first round of layoffs, we have no idea if the staff working on the next Fallout game will be impacted again later this year. It's still incredibly early for this new Fallout game, and we don't know if plans will change later.Rumors suggest that Bethesda's lead artist for 3&4, Starfield, and lead dungeon artist for Oblivion/Skyrim, Istvan Pely, has been laid off (although I don't have a source beyond rumors). If that's the truth, then Bethesda will never be the same company again. The same guy who pitched the idea of the Pip-Boy being wrist-mounted, designed the architecture and buildings of Fallout 3 and 4, designed popular dungeons like Blackreach, Sky Haven Temple, and The Throat of the World in Skyrim is now potentially gone.We're in a situation where if Xbox decides to lay off more employees from Obsidian, or if Obsidian finishes this project but it's unpopular and they get laid off still, Fallout is going back to a Bethesda which probably won't be around in the next 3-5 years, or if they are, likely won't be filled with the same kind of veteran talent that they used to be, which means that the fate of CE is sealed. Instead, Xbox seem reliant on H1B contractors, who only know UE5. Future Fallout games may look more like Oblivion Remastered or possibly even worse, or they might not even get finished. If that happens, the series is back in the auction house. I don't know who might own it after that. Hopefully Larian, because I know for a fact that anyone under Microsoft (InXile/Obsidian) is not making it out of this, that's just the sad truth.
It's interesting how popular this character is.
>>573644631Bethesda hasn't released a good game since Skyrim.
>>573644914They've only made two games since Skyrim. A lot of people liked Fallout 4 too, and while it's not perfect, it's still better than whatever the pajeets Microsoft is planning on employing will do.

>>573644631>Rumors suggest that Bethesda's lead artist for 3&4, Starfield, and lead dungeon artist for Oblivion/Skyrim, Istvan Pely, has been laid off According to Juicehead he has direct confirmation that he wasn't laid off.
>>573644914You can say this, but both Fallout 4 and Starfield have been incredibly successful, and that's all that matters to game companies. Madden may be shit, but it keeps getting made because people like it enough to keep buying it.
>>573645603This is why gamers don't deserve anything good.
>>573645370They've fired a lot of devs that actually did good shit so it wouldn't surprise me.This lady is listed as the lead character artist for Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim and a secondary character artist for Fallout 3/4/76. We also have half the ESO team over at ZeniMax impacted by this:https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/695703/huge-layoffs-at-zenimax-a-lot-of-eso-devs-impactedAnd that's to say nothing of id, who aided on netcode for 76 and gunplay for 4. MS doesn't seem to care much about retaining the coders for idtech, so it stands to reason they won't give a shit about CE either.

Chris was written very early in development (Novac was the first town we built and REPCONN Test Site the first "dungeon") and the Boomers were written near the middle/end."

Normally I would assume if obsidian is working on a new fallout it'd just be a remaster that's the same tier as oblivion's, but if the studio really was gutted that badly to restructure for a fallout game it has to be a new one.And while I still don't believe a studio that wounded can make something particular great, I'll at least be interested in the setting and technical stuff. As in, bet they want it to tie into the tv show in some way so it'll be in either colorado or even california.
>>573656016Honestly, I could see them avoiding Colorado and California specifically TO avoid the TV show. Maximus' actor has said Nolan has like 5-6 season plan. These seasons tend to take 1.5 years or so to come out. So by the time we reach S5-6 they'd still be making the show when the game comes out. Bethesda likely would want Obsidian to do something elsewhere so it doesn't conflict with whatever Nolan is doing in the later parts of the show.Something like a game set in Seattle, or possibly New Orleans.
>>573447261Just ordered a new GPU so I can actually play new games that are coming out, but I also kind of feel like reinstalling FO4 again. Any cool new mods lately?
Where's the florida swamp tactics sequel
I was looking up something on the wiki and ended up reading through the vault experiments, I know this is a personal thing but I feel like when writing vaults the general rule should be that vault-tec should always fail in some way. No matter what the experiment is it should never end in a way that it can be considered a success. It's not some karmic shit, or because it's how the world should work, but just because it's funnier.

Orlando, Disney, Cape Canaveral (where the rockets/shuttles launch), etcetera just didn't exist.That being said, I desperately want to see Cape Kennedy (Cape Canaveral was renamed after Kennedy's death in honor of his contributions to the space program. Then it got changed back because the locals hated it.). Weird Science NASA, St. Augustine Spanish Fort, and Disney. A nice eclectic mix for interesting things to happen.

>>573666346I think it would be cool if they had a sort of TTW system where you could travel between different wastelands (or sections of them) across Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida. I'm sure they could utilize their new tech from Starfield to achieve it. just give it the Tactics setting and start us off in Texas.
>>573666861they might do this. i think the most likely setting is the tv show's setting, so the game has to take place in colorado and california at least.
>>573646276I guess this means she wasn't working on Skyrim 6 for some reason
>>573667570What makes you say that?
>>573667706Cause she wouldn't be laid off if she were actively working on their next big thing I think.
>>573667946What makes you say that? There were id employees laid off that were working on their next big thing, Obsidian employees that were laid off who were working on their next big thing. But somehow, for Bethesda it's different?Elaborate.
>>573668257Didn't she work with 3d assets and animations? Starfield offloaded all that work to off shore companies and it's quite possible they're doing the same thing with tes6
>>573669048Not all of it. She worked on Starfield as a character artist. She would've been working on Skyrim 2 as well.

What happened to the Gun Runners in the TV show? Did one of the most crucial businesses in the post-apocalypse just vanished?

fo4 new vegas status?
>>573656016They wouldn't get Obsidian for a remaster. They can literally just get the jeets that did the Oblivion one for that, it'd be 10 times cheaper too. Also the studio was not gutted. Id lost 139 employees out of 200. 70% of the studio is gone. Zenmiax Online lost 213 out of around 400 employees, 50% of the studio. Those were gutteed. Obsidian has lost 52 out of around 300, that's bad but not really gutted. Even if thy lost another 50 employees in the next round of layoffs, that's still a studio of 200 people.

Bethesda is involved with the new Fallout project by Obsidian. What is the over under that they enforce the new game must be chronologically in sequence with their TV show, and canonical to it.
>this retarded quest has INVISIBLE mines>>573743924Bethesda does not own Fallout.
>>573744084
working on Nordhagen beach, with mods there's actually some interesting space here... like the stretch of sand with the lifeguard post and battle tank :D
>>573744084I think what's more likely is that whatever mod you have that affects the road textures and/or meshes hides the mines inside of it. Put tcl in console and go underground and if you can see the mines normal then that must be the case.

>>573748015new vegas gets silly with thati remember it happening in a handful of places
>>573743924They're most likely gonna set it somewhere other than the TV show. If they want the game out as soon as possible, then there's no way Asha is going to approve them needing to coordinate and possibly wait for the TV show writers. That would add another year at least on the project since they're barely making Season 3 and it's not out until 2027.

I am forever swimming around, amidst this ocean world we call home. My limbs grow weak and weary as my eyes drift skyward in defeat. I remember how warm the earth felt, as I lived and breathed next to her beating heart. I remember enough to keep searching through an ocean of tears, raised to astronomical depths. My dreams offer solace, where I return to distant, faded times. Through trees entwined with cool autumn air, my sorrow is lured by fragrant, bittersweet memories. I am at home as much as my world and consciousness allow. I remember falling into the most beautiful lake I've ever experienced. She swallowed me whole, like a droplet, and I was enraptured and enwombed within her bliss. The lonely windswept desert sky of my soul was filled by her luminous stars and warmed by her sunlit radiance. I gazed downward in awe and saw it all reflected in the shimmering ripples dancing and playing about the surface. It appeared to me as real as the very wonders it was reflecting. I stepped forward to prove to no one and everyone that they were, by belief. For an aching instant I was betwixt the two and the summation. Confusion befell me and I fell through, only to realize I hadn't entered the lake, I had left it. With all of my remaining life I howled at the heavens and collapsed, like a star on the shores of my youth, as my life's breath wandered away from the home it had harbored. I have been drowning on dry land ever since.

>>573762474'anon is play fallout 2''no'
>>573756951Arguably, it's the only one that allows you the anti-woke position of "Actually, I'm going to be in charge of the slavers." FNV only lets you join them, not be in charge of actively organizing the slavery.F3 doesn't even let you side with Enclave.
>>573765508Kinda reminds me of the Scrapyard Samurai from Manhunt cut content.
>>573768378Can't you side with the Enclave and release the modified FEV into Project Purity

>>573766068Seeing that abomination of a weapon in FNV is causing me great distress.
>>573769413meanwhile i still need a flatliner, vulcan right leg, gimbal bracers, medic pump, and internal database. but the game keeps giving me bad teammates and rewards i don't want. whoever designed the drill phase should be fired
>>573769195The Enclave has a split where President Eden decides to poison Project Purity. Colonel Autumn goes "What? No. That's stupid." and holes up at the Jefferson Memorial. Eden's faction gets destroyed by Raven Rock being exploded and Autumns side gets destroyed by the Brotherhood. So you completely wipe the eastern Enclave and then can choose to poison the water or not. I don't really consider that "siding" with the Enclave, but opinions could differ, I guess.
>the best (for the most part) 4 star mods are raid exclusive>they're so fucking low % to get that it's better to ignore the raid and farm caps to buy them from some dudes fucking vendorFeels really good to finally get a pin-pointers or limit-breaking or whatever 4 star mod... and it's on a fucking pipe pistol or leather left arm.Which you of course both fail to obtain the mod box or learn the recipe when you scrap it.
>>573771185the thing is a lot of those players got the mods back when it was easier to unlock/get them from dropsbethesda made the raid easier but the drop %s are way worse and gated behind specific stagespeople used to be able to get everything from EN06 including the full armor

The number of times I’ve seen people, with no understanding of who has worked on our previous games or what they contributed, talk about how Obsidian isn’t who they used to be… is staggering. Most of the time they are not just wrong, but spreading an enormous amount of misinformation.>In most circumstances, the people in lead or director roles are the same people that worked on games like The Outer Worlds, Pillars of Eternity, and New Vegas. Like, literally the same people. The through line from KotOR2 to our current games is pretty clear."They're not the same studio" is just a massive cope.
>>573790024Only person that isn't there from the "good old days" is Chris Avellone. And honestly that's probably a good thing given his thoughts on the setting. See: tunnelers, bear and bull man, ect.
>>573791519What's wrong with the tunnelers?

>>573791641>dude these beast things (which can get mowed down by small arms fire) are eventually going to tunnel out of the divide and destroy everything!!!!
>>573791935Fair enough. But this could be plausible if they breed too much, or if defenses like walls don't work on them because they'll just pop out of the ground. I can see them being a menace.
>>573791912You can take the most basic by the numbers post-apo pitch and with the right people it can become a 10/10 GOTYAY. The premise on paper is the most irrelevant part of game dev ever. Like you can dream big and promise the moon, unless you can actually make that game it's worthless.
>>573791912>>573792532Like this is what i wish Fallout was, just mechanically.My dream Fallout>a couple decades after the war>radiation levels barely low enough to survive on the surface>all of manhattan island to explore>be fresh grunt in reilly's rangers-type outfit>go on missions in the ruins of NYC>scouting locations, scavenging for supplies, mapping routes>2-3 man squad of medic, coms officer, gunner/marksman>typical Fallout RPG fare of story/choices/twists and turns>gear and weapon crafting and upgrade system like in 4>basic survival mechanics like eat, drink, sleep, meds, injuries>weather affects monster behavior and spawns>ghouls, mutants and raiders of various types as enemies>partly proc gen loot and scavenging system>central park as woods area with mutated wildlife so it doesn't get too stale>everything else is streets, alleys, highrise buildings and sewers or metro tunnels>non-hostile life is rare and mostly clustered in 2-3 heavily fortified town-like locations>information is currency in this barter system>you can find new recruits in those town locations or scavenging in the ruins>recruits can become squad mates>squad mates can become companions>companions can become more>affinity system>no friendly mutants or ghouls>what if metro was an RPG reallyMy ideal game would be STALKER, third person, character creator with Ghost Recon Breakpoint gameplay. The kind of modern military TPS that they used to make in the 2010s. And the only reason i have over 1000 hours in FO4, minus 150-200 hours afk/alt-tabbed, is that some overhauls can take me at least somewhat close to that vision.
>>573792730Will there be super mutants and power armor?
>>573793151Depends, i would need to find a way to have FEV labs in the north east. Especially one that makes sense. PA would be difficult to implement since much of the game would be indoors and underground. Maybe locationally restricted to outdoor areas.
>>573790024that's nice faggot but I don't remember anyone asking
>>573793460>PA would be difficult to implement since much of the game would be indoors and undergroundSo you're going with the Fallout 4 style PA?It doesn't have to be this way. I think the wearable version is just fine. Either way just get rid of the fusion core system please. I'm counting on you.
>>573489664Isn't he just a guntuber
>>573798449>So you're going with the Fallout 4 style PA?Because i think it's damn good, the implementation is just a terrible half measure. You have this legit tank of a suit, 100% endgame gear, that for some reason is easily available all over the commonwealth and, in a feeble attempt at balance, is constantly on the brink of breaking apart. I think Todd just loved the PA redesign so much that he wanted players to have it all the time but he also didn't want to make them gods so they nerfed it into the ground.
>>573790287>>573789409I mean they had it coming for long time, sitting on popular franchise without any new releases, instead releasing game breaking bugs for existing ones
>>573799376That's why I'm relying on you to fix it in your future game. I think the fusion core and durability shit is just busywork. And yes you should realistically only get 1 suit of power armor per model, and they should be very hard to obtain. That "wow factor" of the concord mission really cheapened power armor. You got late game gear and late game enemies made weak just for a 'cool' moment.Someone here once said you should've had your suit broken up in that fight, and you'd spend a large part of the game trying to fix it before you can finally use it again. I think that's neat.
>>573801345>Someone here once said you should've had your suit broken up in that fight, and you'd spend a large part of the game trying to fix it before you can finally use it again. I think that's neat.That was me. And anons hated it because they thought it would be gating gear behind story/quest progression. That everything should be obtainable even to players that never do any quests.
alternate start: you start as pic related, i start with a gen 2 PA and a mini
>>573801851Wow you've got some ideas frfr on gawd>anons hated it because they thought it would be gating gear behind story/quest progressionThat would be an easy thing to fix though. Following the story would just give you a straightforward path to fixing it. But if you don't care for that, you'll have to look harder for the materials or parts to fix it. Or have a different suit hidden in some fucked up part of the glowing sea.
>>573766273but who was war
unironically loved that you could start with a minigun so earlyin previous titles heavy weapons usually would get shat on until hours into the game
>>573802704>Following the storyI think the criticism was that PA should be accessible by roaming instead of requiring any quests or NPC interactions. Which i think is bullshit because i want a narrative in my world, not just a wasteland to roam around in where i don't ever have to interact with anyone.
>>573803231Yes but as a result, the minigun is extremely weak because they couldn't just give you an endgame weapon in the first 2 hours. It's supposed to be a weapon you'd be scared to encounter, but it's just a big peashooter.
>>573792730>no friendly ghouls:(
>>573803398yeah that was sucky that's why the minigun revival mod is a must for me
>>573803280>instead of requiring any quests or NPC interactionsFair but I think you should have it both ways. We already have an example of this, you get a decent suit of T-60 power armor if you help Paladin Danse and join the brotherhood. You should be able to get one by picking an ally, or by scrounging one up by yourself if you don't care for any specific faction.
>>573803398>item that used to be extremely powerful in previous game>readily available from the start>so it's weak as fuckFeels like it was the mantra for Fallout 4.
>>573803398>>573803604It's garbage in FNV too and it's a late game weaponThe gatling laser sucks too, unless you mod the fun barrel out of it, which is insane considering it's an actual late-game weapon
>>573757719Seal? That's a walrus, son.
>>573798816Worse, a guntuber with opinions.
>>573803604Legendary system also probably influence it as well as getting an explosive or wounding minigun is basically GG and you'll never struggle with anything
>>573770168>RadmooseThere's a new phobia.
>>573804069>getting an explosive or wounding minigun is basically GGAnd it's pure luck. Not only that but stronger heavy weapons would be really easy to balance. Just make ammo hard or impossible to get early game. But i think Todd really wanted the player to have access to all tools from the start and leveling up just makes them stronger.
>>573804069that's mostly a problem with legendaries that scale on how many bullets you can fire which is why I never use it when I find one on anything that's not a slow gun
>>573803597>You should be able to get one by picking an ally, or by scrounging one up by yourself if you don't care for any specific faction.Yep and i have had a lot of criticism gating any rewards behind quests or choices because "it forces players to make that choice to get that gear." which usually only comes from players who value power over roleplaying their character.
>dude fallout is gonna be woke now!
>>573804770Yeah they really fucked PA with having it in so early. Would have made 100% more sense to give each faction minus the railroad a suit of PA thats unique to them. Like the minutemen having a suit of t45 after completing old guns or the institute and the x01 with the unique paint. Functionally the way DR works means the difference between different sets is marginal at best.
>>573805581Don't really care about woke, i have a problem with "guess that just happened" sarcastic/funny writing and tone. Load up the game with trannies and faggots but make them edgy and give the player the option to be edgy as well.
>>573805741Whedon/millennial dialogue is possible but I should hope unlikely because the project lead knows vernacular in this setting isn't like that.

>>573807180What are the chances the devs are too old for this now and are just out of touch at this point? Like if a writer made a book and were asked to make a sequel nearly 20 years later the result will be wildly different if he were to make a sequel right after the first book.I would not be surprised if it's just too little too late at this point.
>>573808073>What are the chances the devs are too old for this now and are just out of touch at this point?100%, people change, their sensibilities change and with it their style. I would be extremely surprised if Obsidian still had the balls, or desire, to write something like three card bounty, any of the legion shit, the fiends or just Cass' in general.
Anything is better than the 0% chance of getting anything good from Bethesd*
>>573808569You have to consider that maybe it's not Obsidian that's changed, but the audience itself. Zoomers are the most infantile audience for these kinds of games, they're not going to maintain interest hearing about something realistic and grim like rape, slavery or torture. Even back in 2009, the biggest games on the market like Call of Duty and Gears of War were games that marketed themselves as dark and gritty. Now those same games make money selling bright neon pink skins and Rick and Morty bundles. Not saying those games were ever deep to begin with, but the tolerance for interesting subject matter has decreased rapidly these past 10-15 years noticeably. Obsidian could've even probably gotten away with it a couple of years ago when they were making smaller games like PoE and Tyranny, but now that they're making Fallout? Who knows.
>>573809396Millennials and even Xers are the ones that enjoy 4/76(bullshit cartoony faggot neo-fallout)
>>573455628>guy who supports current thing with force thought he would be buddies with guy who writes media based around current thing
>>573455628>Donut OperatorIs this the midget or the wife beater of that right winger police bootlicker group
>>573810195>midget or the wife beaternot exactly narrowing it down
>>573809638The Bethesda audience have always been manchildren. Fallout 3 was their darkest game.
>>573810313I got them mixed up. Garand Thumb is the wife beater and Brandon Herrera is the midget.
>>573451534>>573455628The problem is that these people are not the same people that they were 20 years ago so they wont make the same kind of game they use to and now all the Bethesda can do no wrong fans will never admit that this game is bad because its a huge culture war now.
>>573809396>You have to consider that maybe it's not Obsidian that's changed, but the audience itself.Chasing any particular audience or trend with a game that takes close to a decade to make is retarded anyway.
>>573809396>You have to consider that maybe it's not Obsidian that's changedNot him, but this idea here actually relates to an issue I see with Obsidian, and why their games post NV haven't done well. While I disagree that the audience has changes, I agree that Obsidian hasn't changed... and that's sort of the issue.The games that are often considered Obsidian's best(KOTOR2, NWN2, FNV) are all sequels to someone else's game, and were popular due to the franchise, gameplay, and setting, someone else made previously. In instances where the franchise itself sucked, Obsidian's games also sucked(See Dungeon Siege 3). All of their attempts to make an orignal IP have flopped going all the way back to Alpha Protocol since even that game felt like they tried to do James bond as a setting, and failed, and tried to copy the gameplay of Mass effect, and failed, leading to a game that still felt like a worse sequel to someone else's IP/game. This issue continued all the way through Pillars/Avowed, Tyranny, and Outer worlds.-Their games have no unqiue spin to them(they lck the I-sim elements of Bethesda, the cinematic nature of CDPR, or the modern CRPG style of Larian/Owlcat).-The basic mechanics they do add simply don't work right(faction rep, faction armor, ammo types, iron sights, etc in NV)-They're full of things like weapons, perks, spells, traits, flaws, etc. but almost none of them are meaningful-They are stuck in the early 90swriting style of just having NPCs exposit everything to the player, making talking to NPCs feel like a chore, and since this detail isn't in the world itself it makes the worlds feel hollow-Obsidian has areal bad issue with beating people over the head with whatever "message" they are trying to push in their games. Which makes them feel poorly done, and more like a lecture.They just kind of suck at making games.
>>573810481I don't know what they would have to offer/pay to get Chris Avellone to come to a company that tried to ruin his life. Don't count on it.
Sawyer, Gonzalez, Boyarsky, and Cain are going to make Starfield with bottlecaps and you're gonna like it.
>>573810326I love this meme because it shows how dishonest people are.The Astral Lounge in Starfield is not a strip club, nor is it ever marketed, or talked about, as being one. Most clubs that have dancers in them IRL have them for non erotic reasons.
this is why i only play fallout 1,2, NV, 3 but I ignore the story and non fallout games
>>573811116They're going to let him kill Feargus Urquhart.
>bottlecaps currency I'm getting mad again
>>573811304I only play 3/NV because 1/2 are antiquated boomerslop. I'd play them rebuilt in NV, but 2 is just unplayable.
>>573809396If the new game is closer to the tone of New Vegas and the old games I'm not looking forward to all people who started with 4 or the Tv show complaining that its not real fallout.>the game is way to dark and violent it doesn't fit Fallout's goffy tone>There was jokes and pop culture references in the old game it was never meant to be serious >Slavery, rape, and geocide were in game? Yeah but fallout 3 had a quest with super heros and New Vegas had characters who worship Elvis so its all meant to be goofy>theres zombie guys and giant green men how can the game be serious and why do you care about its tone?
>>573810732>All of their attempts to make an orignal IP have floppedPillars was so successful it got a sequel and a larger budget 3D iteration in the same universe in the form of Avowed (and they were allegedly working on a sequel), the whole thing started on Kickstarter so it was funded by fans before they got acquired. The game essentially saved Obsidian when they were struggling to find a publisher. The Outer Worlds was successful too, it surpassed 5 million units sold which for a game with a AA budget like this meant that they made a hefty profit, and their publisher stated that it exceeded expectations.Their games being "flops" is massively overstated. They make niche games in a niche market, striking success even 50% of the time is good. Obsidian have more hits than misses in a genre long past its golden age. I won't talk about anything else because, to be quite frank, I liked Tyranny/PoE and thought that they were fun pastimes.
I was gonna give The Outer Worlds a chance, try to look past the ugly bulldyke mystery meat designs and terrible writing and voices and see what the gameplay was like.I killed some guy outside the first ship you walk up to and he didn't drop his clothes/inventory, he had randomized loot? Immediately uninstalled.
>>573447261The next Fallout game:>Going to be built on the same retarded engine >Still going to the be written by political activists>Still going to incorporate Todd's vision for Hollywood show slop>Its overI hope I'm wrong but I'm not.
play underrail or don't because everyone seems to hate the dev
>>573811873>Pillars was so successful it got a sequel Pillars got a sequel because they crowd funded it, not because Pillars 1 made so much money they could just make it. And we see what happened with Pillars 2, its flopped, selling like 1/10 the number of copies it needed to break even. This being after tyranny under performed after people saw that ti was repeating all of the same design and world building mistakes and Pillars 1, and Pillars 2 flopped after people saw, once again, that it had all the same issues during development.Outer worlds 1 on the other hand only sold well because they marketed as "FROM THE PEOPLE WHO BROUGHT YOU NEW VEGAS!" and the general consensus was that Outer worlds 1 was mid. Even the generally pro-Obsdian fanbase of Jewtubers like MrMattyPlays didn't like Outer Worlds 1 to the point even he's had to comment on how even his fans didn't like it several times. Avowed and Outer Worlds 2 massively under performed after people saw all the same issues there. This has nothing to do with RPGs being part their prime. CDPR, Larian, Owlcat, Bethesda, Warhorse, are all succeeding unlike Obsidian. Even Starfield has had more players, and more retention, then Pillars 1, 2, Tyranny, Pentiment, Outer worlds 1, Avowed, and Outer worlds 2 combined last time I saw someone compare known numbers. Obsidian just makes kinda shit games. They are the plain oatmeal of game devs.
>>573809396>game is going to be bad because of [not my generation]you're as detached from reality as the execs are when they attempt a "hello there fellow kids"
Trashwiz here, I love trash and I make trashy mods for Bethesda games. My overloaded black trash bag of a girlfriend is going to draw me having sex with a bag of rotting banana peels. When she gets called out for being disgusting please defend her in my stead (see discord for instructions).
>>573812557Even if its terrible it will be a different kind of bad that feels better. It will also be nice to have a new game instead of waiting forever for one never to come out.
>>573812705>Pillars got a sequel because they crowd funded itIt reached its goal within 24 hours, that's not exactly what you'd call an unsuccessful IP. >not because Pillars 1 made so much money they could just make itIt had sold 700,000 units within its first year. >And we see what happened with Pillars 2, its flopped, selling like 1/10 the number of copies it needed to break evenThe budget for PoE2 was much higher because it had full voice acting, so it had to sell more to break even. I have no idea how you came to the conclusion that it underperformed due to "world building" either, the game was well-received critically and reviews repeatedly highlight the strengths of its worldbuilding. It flopped because the hype for PoE1 and a revival of the genre died out while competitors started producing games with larger budgets and a wider scope. Sawyer always talks about this when it comes to Larian and DOS2, which came out a year earlier.>and the general consensus was that Outer worlds 1 was midOn the internet, where negativity bias is left to fester while reasonable, job-having people move on to play the next game and don't bother arguing about it. >This has nothing to do with RPGs being part their prime. CDPR, Larian, Owlcat, Bethesda, Warhorse, are all succeeding unlike Obsidian.CDPR and Bethesda don't make CRPGs. Objectively, their games are too consolized to be a *computer RPG*. Larian are no strangers to underperforming games either, Divinity 2 almost killed the studio. As for Owlcat and Warhorse, they haven't really made that many games. Owlcat have made three games, Warhorse have made two.
>>573812705They're just so visually like uninspired lately
tyranny > pillars 1 > pillars 2 because no full companion vampire waifu > i haven't played avowed
>>573811580gyatt
>>573814332>CDPR and Bethesda don't make CRPGsOuter Worlds 1/2, and Avowed, weren't CRPGs either. We weren't talking about CRPGs specifically, just RPGs in generals, and Obsidian's general failure as an RPG studio.
shame most of fallout new vegas quest mods suck ass.
>>573814662Quest mods for games suck ass in general because, for as much as people bitch about devs being bad writers, the average rando person is even worse.
>>573814807The devs should be much better at me then writing though its why they get paid to and I dont.
>>573814565>We weren't talking about CRPGs specifically, just RPGs in generalsIt's pointless to talk about RPGs in general because you can't accurately compare the sales of something like Final Fantasy or Persona to Starfield or Pillars. They have completely different markets. The Skyrim audience aren't buying Pillars or Tyranny. Obsidian are first and foremost, a CRPG studio, or at least that's the role they occupy in the market now since PoE. The comparisons to Larian and Owlcat were far more apt than to Bethesda or CDPR. Outer Worlds and Avowed aren't CRPGs, but one of them is an offshoot of a CRPG series, the other was the first attempt at capturing a market that Obsidian hasn't interacted with since 2010, when Bethesda was publishing New Vegas.
>>573813464Fags said the same thing about ESO, 76, & Starfield.
I think the BoS are neat
>>573815297True but this is being made by a different group of people. A Bethesda game will be bad in the same way over and over again. This will at least be a different kind of bad like watching a bad Hollywood movie viruses and bad Korean movie.
https://youtu.be/-t7qvf6U8n0Thoughts?
>>573815420They are cool but I don't like how it feels like they have completely different motivations every time they show up.
>>573815664And what had that different group been making since NV?
I wish they'd hurry and make Fallout Texas.The East Coast fucking blows.
Jesus is punishing Todd right now because he refuses to put Fallout 3 and New Vegas on Switch 2.
>>573815838Boring games that feel like worse version of New Vegas but still feeling different then Bethesda none the less.
>>573815278>Obsidian are first and foremost, a CRPG studio, or at least that's the role they occupy in the market now since PoE.Except their CRPG gambit failed, and now they're back to making ARPGs like Outer worlds/Avowed.... which also failed since they aren't doing that well either.
>>573815748>Literally who Youtuber making AI gen looking ragebait thumbnail.Who cares?
>>573816097You are going to end up with gay cowboys and indigenous people "reclaiming" their land.
>>573816693FUCK
>>573815278This does feel like the issues both investors, devs, and fans are running into of not understanding that Final Fantasy and Skyrim will always out sell games like Divinity or Street Fighter.
>>573816260They weren't just boring, they were attacks on the soul.
>>573816490>Except their CRPG gambit failed, and now they're back to making ARPGsDishonest framing. The Outer Worlds was their most successful game financially, so they chased the ARPG market. It wasn't a wise decision, but you can't say that they failed in both markets. They had success making CRPGs and success making ARPGs, some unsuccessful games don't detract from that.
>>573816745Monkeys paw.
>>573816097They will make Fallout Detroit and the devs will think they are funny putting 500 this city was just as bad before the bombs jokes.
I just really hate deserts so hope it's not any of those places
>>573447261>written by the same hacks that did Awowed>published by microsoft>has to include lore from the fucking showits going to fucking SUCK
>>573814662i like most of them desu
>>573816970>The Outer Worlds was their most successful game financiallyTheir most successful game is Grounded, a survival crafting game. Which is kinda sad from an RPG studio.
>>573808061nah nigga
>>573815798it's just like having multiple states inthe usa :D
>>573816793>Divinity or Street Fighter??Street Fighter's a fighting game, and it was massively successful. Less successful than Skyrim, but last I checked, SF6 sold more than FFXVI in lifetime sales. Final Fantasy hasn't been doing the numbers it used to, I was merely using it as an exemplar of the eastern RPG market (JRPGs), which of course are wildly different to Skyrim or Divinity.
Fallout New Vegas 2 should be a survival crafting sandbox with only side quests and no main quest.
>>573803128i was sat in shack drinking absinthe when nobark ring'legion is war'
>>573816970>>573817709>Outer WorldsLets be real, that game sold only because it launched when Bugfesta was dealing with F76 fiasco and they could run on "at least it runs" to the end of time because otherwise it was very meh.
god bless the desert eagle, only took almost 2 mags to take out a supermutant. also this thing is chambered in 9x39mm
>>573817709I'll let you have that one, I completely forgot about Grounded. Still, it makes sense that a studio that sees themselves as a development team for RPGs would largely chase the success of their most successful RPGs.
>>573817629can you give few examples?
>>573818056I have both /fog/ and /sg/ open and you had me all kinds of fucked up.
>>573815798That is only a problem with Bethesda's inability to maintain a progressive narrative between games and thus world build. Thankfully we will never have to see another Bethesd* Fallout game diarrhea for a decade at least.
>the new fallout is gonna have campy dialo-OCK
>>573815798I like it no reason for them to share the same ideology and it feels like you're facing a new faction every time as opposed to the same guys from previous games
>>573818023It had momentum and hype behind it for similar reasons to PoE. Obsidian are known for having Black Isle devs, so they exploited that in the marketing. People bought PoE because they were promised a game like Icewind Dale or the OG Fallout games, people bought TOW because of OG Fallout and New Vegas. Anyone who is a fan of Obsidian or interested in their games probably knows their history, the average CRPG gamer is probably about 40 years old.
>>573815748none for me, thanks
>>573818135i'm going to shower. also i have pretty low standards for writing since it's just random dudes making mods i'm not expecting anything very good.i liked zion trail a lottheoverseer mods and nvb is funpucemoose modsgarden of ethan was really great imo. the other one the dude made about flying to some place andthe plane crashes was okay area 11? was alright i guess autumn leaves or whatever its called would be a big fat step higher than any other modshaunted casino mod is fun for a single playthroughthere's probably a few more. there was one with a really nice vault and stupid ass quest to replace a lightbulb and there's a trillion broken ones in the map lol. oh and it had a pet brahmin.there's probably a couple more i liked.
>>573818219>>573818056Is Stalker an RPG or is it just a shooter? I have Call of Pripyat in my Steam library but I've never played it.
>>573819348Stalker is a shooter with quests and gear. The main quest is overwhelmingly linear, as are most of the side quests, though there are a few that let you make a small choice.But you don't like level up. There is no strength, speed, stamina w/e stats you directly level up from leveling up, no perks, etc. etc.
>>573819910Ah, okay. I played a little of the second one but found it incredibly boring, I thought that the first might be different since I see a lot of posts comparing it to Fallout.
>>573818929>theoverseer>look it upThis is the first thing I see
>>573818547Yeah and releasing the same moment Bethesa released Fuckup 76 only helped them.
>>573821289LOLi played his main quest mod series before the bridge exploded between him and nexus. i have no clue what the fuck he's doing now but he had a main quest series that started out really rough about this mildly annoying mercenary companion chick (that he admitted he wasn't proud of) and the khans -> bounties mod -> separate area mod where you just go murder a ton of politician rapists iirc -> more serious child kidnapping conspiracy mod with assassin companion who is mentally broken but also best girl -> dude weed light hearted amusing mod
Do YOU know what a fish is, anon?>>573790641For me, it's more the issue of "not the same river, not the same man." Sure, Joshua Sawyer made something good 16 years ago. Meanwhile, I look at Doctor Who, where Russel T. Davies both resurrected the show and buried it. I hope this team hasn't changed for the politically deranged worse.
>>573818773grim
>You see...I need my Fallout in New Vegas..too
>>573819348SoC and CoP are the two best ones, SoC has better level design IMO but CoP feels much smoother to play and has more mechanics like repairing and upgrading gear with different upgrade trees, and both have fun stories and great atmosphere. Also everything anon said. It's also not set in the post apocalypse. It's just the zone that's massively fucked up but the outside world is fine and there's a lot of interaction between the two, like researchers and military investigating, NATO funded mercs doing their own thing, etc etc. Clear Sky SUUUUUUUUCKS but they have cool blue camo you can get in the other games at least.

How long do you think it'll take Obsidian to make a new Fallout?2-3 years?
>>57382509118 months. 2 more weeks.
Xbox should cut a deal with CDPR and use their new engine for the next Fallout. Then they should train an AI on identifying gay/progressive shit and filter all the writing their devs put out.
>>573825758Nah graphics fags are what is wrong with gaming. We need more content and more frequent games.
>>5738250916-10 years if they want it to be mid. 1-3 if they want to kill the entire franchise.
>>573825758Last video game was made in 2014. After MGS5TPP everyone adopted movie games thanks to old fart Kojima.
>>573826503>6-10 years
>>573811580nice raider ass
>>573826398Witcher and Cyberpunk were good games though.
>>573828120They had previous lore and setting to lean against. Setting that wasnt raped to death by other people like Fallout was.
>>573828120lol. I bet you love RDR2 also.
>>573826398RDR2 was a pretty game and was awesome. Good graphics doesn't mean the rest of the game suffers. The point of a new engine is that Bethesda has fallen behind with theirs and it is hurting the quality of the games the make.
>>573828430CDPR didn't make Cyberpunk. A lot of lore was just them winging it but they did a good job.
I guess the thread that regularly shills dogshit like 76 would also shill for Cyberpunk, one and the same in many ways.
>>573828453Red dead is cool but it would have been cooler with more player choice and a less static character. Online is trash.
>>573828803Never said it did, dumbass.I said that there was a great setting, done years ago, to lean on free of any current day bullshit.Same with Witcher.
I don't care if Fallout 5 sucks. I'm just so happy it got taken away from that lying midget.
>>573828495Not him, but the issue isn't the engine, it was never the engine, and people blaming the engine have no idea what they're talking about.The issue isthat Bethesda games spend A LOT of system resources doing things like rendering, and doing the physics, for thousands of objects in the game world, as well as keeping track of where all of these items got moved, that other games don't have to deal with, and can thus spend on pure graphical fidelity.If Bethesda stopped doing all the world sim stuff they do, they COULD make a game that looks as "modern" as any other game on Creation, because they could then spend all those resources on pushing the graphical power of the game instead of world sim.
Cyberpunk is miles better than FO3, NV and FO4 as a RPG
>>573828861Cyberpunk has a good story/setting it just launched in a shit state and they never really got it to the level the E3 showcase displayed. Still miles better than 76.
hell yeah man i love goyout!
>>573828495>>573829129It was never the fucking engine for fuck sake.Old or not, creation engine is perfect for RPG's because it can do all the things needed for RPG - faction relationship values, skill checks, factions per se, all the number value shit, traits and perks influencing actions etc.Its has all the features a good rpg would need - blame solely lays on the creation team that decided to phone it in and gave us whole one quest that isnt KLR and two major cities and filled the rest of the game with KLR shit and settlement building.
>>573829245Not him, but I'd disagree it has a good setting.Cyberpunk has an edgy setting, in a 16 year old, high school, emo/goth sitting at his desk, writing in his journal, about his fan fic setting is edgy. Just going "everything sucks, everyone is miserable, there is no real way to get ahead, no one is eer happy, and there are no good endings" isn't a good setting, it isn't an emotional setting, it isn't thought provoking, its just childishly edgy. In the same way, though not to the same extreme, that Warhammer 40K is a childishly edgy setting.
>>573829058CDPR are the "other people" changing the lore. Plenty of people have argued that the changes were negative ones/rapey. One that I can think of was the inclusion of trans characters.
>>573829208Isn't the game notorious for being hyper linear with a few fake choices that change little?
>>573829998Yes. The game is closer to like GTA, with some RPG elements, than a real RPG.
>>573829661Not him, but the inclusion of trans people was actually a good thing. It shows that something positive can come out of a world so dark and consumed by corporate greed.
>>573829998But enough about the Fallout series
What's it like knowing that Microsoft went over Todd's head and Obsidian will now rape his pink bubblegum asshole again?
>>573829998Still more than Fallout 4.>>573829661CDPR changed the lore because they had to - old CP2020 was firmly a product of late cold war era and that wouldnt fly with modern customers.Troon inclusion sucked ass but then again it would probably be a thing in that world.
>>573830308If we're talking Fallout 3 and 4 sure.
>>573829998If you are including fallout in that description then I agree.
>>573830390>Troon inclusion sucked ass but then again it would probably be a thing in that worldTrue but it was the positive depiction of it that was out of place.
I'm worried that New Vegas 2 won't use Creation Engine and will instead be Unrealslop
>>573830595>>573830390Wouldn't trannies be happy in cyberpunk because they can change their genitals super easily and all that surgery
>>573830595>>573830717Tbf trannies wouldnt exist in cyberpunk, they would just do the operations and BE other gender.>>573830637That would be stupid as fuck which is why im thinking they will do ti.
>>573830378Fallout fans will just be losing in a different way with a new gay formula. They will still have Todd telling them to do this and that so it ties in with the Amazon show which as I've seen is only lived by the audience that Todd is trying to transplant over the original fanbase.
>>573830637Good. I hope they make an actual good game and mod trannies get mad that they can't waste time on a shit sandbox. Todd's days are over, and mod trannies are next. Fallout will return to being a RPG for 40 year old boomers. Even better if they make it isometric and turn based.
>>573831223>he thinks unrealslop will be like the good old OG falloutYou poor poor soul

>>573831463I play unmodded FNV. I could care less about how ugly it looks. I just want a RPG that doesn't suck ass.
>>573831564And you wont get it, especially not on unreal engine.>>573831562No idea, how advanced cp cybernetics is?
>>573831564I have bad news. The conditions that made New Vegas are no longer replicable. The devs are forever altered by mental illness and the politics of the time.
>>573831675Nice try Todd. You lost. Go back to working on Starfield instead of trying to scare people away from finally getting what they have wanted for 16 years.
>>573832150Bitch please, you aint getting a fucking rpg on unreal engine.
>>573831675I have no clue either, I figured it wouldn't be possible even in that setting, at least not for poor folks

>>573851523McDonalds is the most successful restaurant.
>New Vegas 2 in pre production >gachashit on life support after mass layoffslol
>>573851231Let's put it on a 100 point scale. 1 is the status quo of Fallout 4 with people being too lazy to even pick up a broom and rather share rusty shacks with literal skeletons and 100 is highrise buildings, governments, paved roads, long distance travel and communication. Where do you think Fallout should be after 210 years?
>>573852173Given that the East Coast had established towns, built water purifiers, managed nuclear generators, and have trade routes all up and down the east coast, while the vast majority of Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, and Colorado, where nothing but nomadic bands of spear chuking tribal groups who had no permanent settlements, and even Vegas, which wasn't even hit durign te war,didn't have shit until House organized the three families just 7 years before NV began. Id rather have what Bethesda is making than Obsidian's take on the world. At least the East in general can get stuff done,where as no one but the NCR, or House, seems able to do anything out west.
>>573852510Not answering the question. How about a number? 1? 5? 10?
>>573490585>a gay person in a video game is vilifying white peopleget your head checked
>>573851231>>The entire premise of Fallout is that humans are unable to move past self destructive wars over petty things like resources, and ideologiesNo it's not, if it was fallout 2 would never have happened and it's really funny that any human being could argue it. But to be fair no one has ever argued that in good faith, not even you so who cares? Also really interesting that the people on the internet that argued that because of the first season of the tv show seemed to say it less and less as season 2 went on? Wonder why? Could it be because they mentioned other ncr locations or even showed the ncr military is still around and inspires hope, or because the reason shady sands was blown up was because 1 dude got cucked to memory death and wasn't the result of a war?Mostly that last one I assume. "war never changes" yeah man, I too get so mad at my wife leaving me for a woman I decide that everyone must die, human nature and all that.
>>573851231This is why I said no Chris Avellone in the next Obsidian Fallout is probably a good thing. He's as much "progress in muh Fallout? NOPE!" as Todd.
>>573851447>Fallout 76 On release, sure.But you better believe they'll be using 76 assets.>>57385217365, some places should be in states of disrepair because the area is treacherous.But societies have built into and around resources using new and old.Some knowledge is recovered, but most is misinterpreted or having a slow relearning.
>>573851941>gachashit on life support after mass layoffsBGS Austin had zero layoffs, they're one of the safe studios. The only studio that was hit with layoffs was BGS Montreal.
>Hank gets cucked by a lesbian, so he decides to blow up Shady Sands and regress the NCR to savages living in metal shacks>Todd gets cucked by Obsidian, so he decides to blow up the West Coast and regress the setting to savages living in metal shacksVery allegorical.
>>573852818>No it's not, if it was fallout 2 would never have happened This just show that you missed the entire point.Fallout 1, 2, and Van Buren, were supposed to show the whole cycle of human civlization and destruction-Fallout 1: Tribes and small city states that, at the end, of into a nation-Fallout 2: Nation's expansion, and conflict with other powers-Van Buren: Collapse of empires/nation's destruction as it over reaches.
I guarantee 90% of the anons in this thread would shit their pants and have no relevant skills with which they can use to rebuild society in fallout.
>>573851941Which is still just a rumor and even if they started preproduction last week it's going to be better part of a decade until that game comes out. With New Vegas Obsidian had the advantage of using the Fallout 3 "Rust and Rubble" asset library which allowed them to make the game in 18 months in the first place, they don't have that this time. Fallout 4s assets looked like ass 10 years ago and haven't exactly aged well. Same goes for 76. Maybe they can use Starfields framework but they would still have to make thousands of models and textures themselves. That is years and years of full production and Obsidian doesn't have access to 10 asset farms for outsourcing. This game, if it is more than a rumor, is going to take a while to come out.
>>573852952>65Sounds good, totally acceptable. Or keep the status quo but go with the original plan for Fallout 3 and reboot the timeline to 2095 or 2100.
>>573853649>but go with the original plan for Fallout 3 and reboot the timeline to 2095 or 2100.this was never the plan for F3. Its always been a 100% made up 4chan rumor.
If they don't want civilization and nationstates why do they keep pushing the timeline further and further from the bombs? (aside from 76 I guess).
>>573853802Because going backwards just opens up more issues with possible retcons, and it allows them to have things that happen in one game actually affect the next one. Like the BoS's victory against the enclave leading to their power in Fo4.
>>573853741It was the plan, 3 was originally set like 50 years after the bombs, GameInformer reported on it in like 2008 when they got ahold of leaked screenshots of a pip-boy with a date on the corner of the screen, Zenimax flipped out and tried to sue GameInformer, only for a judge to rule that they can't leak a game that's already been released
>>573854043things that didn't happen for 500 Alex.
>>573853741>Its always been a 100% made up 4chan rumor.A rumor fed by conjecture. It would explain literally everything bad or wrong about Fallout 3.
>>573854454It really wouldn't since Fallout 3 already explains why eveything is the way it is even 200 years after the bombs, which is no different than Fallout 1, 2, and Tactics, and what was going to be in Van Buren, where most of the post war world is still hundreds of miles of nothing with a small handful of settlements spread across a blasted nuclear wasteland.
>>573854578>Fallout 3 already explains why eveything is the way it isIt really doesn't tho. There is no food anywhere, yet you can find pre-war food everywhere, people living in literal rust shacks after 200 years and the world looks like the bombs dropped rather recently. All of that would be explained with a planned, but scrapped, reboot of the timeline. Especially considering we did have brand new man-made structures, buildings and cars in Fallout 1 and 2. No, Fallout 3 is set shortly after the collapse.
>>573855158the tv show (forgive me) illustrates that factions all over just keep nuking each otherso civilization may have risen and fallen several times in two centuries
>>573855158It does-D.C. got super hit during the war, resulting in the water is irradiated far beyond the rest of the country, to the point normal purification methods don't work worth a shit. Water being THE fundamental backbone for civilization, and critical to large scale farming.-We clearly see how they get food. --Rural settlements like Arefu, Canterbury Commons, and the Regulators, are shown raising Brahamn for milk and meat, which they trade to other settlements--There are even several packs of wild Brahamn around the wasteland for people to poach from.--Hunters are seen across the wasteland hunting everything from wild dogs, to Yao guai, mire lurks, and mole rats, for meat to trade.--Mutfruit grows in the Capital Wasteland--There was a giant Mirelurk farm and processing center under the anchorage war memorial--Rivet city gets mirelurk meat from the mirelurks constantly trying to infest he lower levels--We also know that Rivet city trade fresh produce like apples, carrots, pears, and potatoes, to other settlements in exchange for scrap to fix up the town,--Food from the outside, like Punga, is traded to people in the Capital Wastes--There's also several major caravans going to most of the major settlements in the region to facilitate the trade of these goods across the region.>and the world looks like the bombs dropped rather recentlyExplained by the lack of water>people living in literal rust shacks after 200 yearsWe see this in Fallout 1, 2, and Tactics. Literally its what Junktown was.

>>573855649>it happened off screen and nobody ever brings it upCome on, anon. Is the TV show now retconning plot holes of the games that explain the state of the world? That's just lazy writing.>>573855810>D.C. got super hit during the warNukes work by using up all the nuclear material to create an exothermic reaction(sorry, it's been 20 years since highschool physics). Nothing lingers. Radiation dispersal devices(dirty bombs) are theoretically designed(never built or tested) to make a zone uninhabitable forever but those affect a zone orders of magnitude smaller than any nuke ever tested. So no, any nuclear bomb wouldn't leave behind radiation for more than a few weeks tops.>brahmin farmersA dozen brahmin feeding the whole wasteland? Or is this another "it happens off screen" moment? And what are the brahmin eating without any grass anywhere? Muitfruit? Which wouldn't be growing without water anyway.>Mirelurk meatOkay, i can accept that.>CaravansTrading what from where? DC is pretty large, where are those caravans getting (perishable?) food from when we know that all the way to the Pitt everything is in rubble?And because the water is contaminated that means it doesn't rain either?Dude, you are aware that you're reaching, right? That you're smashing a circle into a square? Bending over backwards trying to justify dogshit writing and creative decisions?
>>573857192>Trading what from where?Canterberry Commons
>>573857298Where nothing grows either.

So no, any nuclear bomb wouldn't leave behind radiation for more than a few weeks tops.This is true of real world physics. Fallout does not, nor has it ever, used real world physics. Even Chris Avellone was talking about most of the post war world being a blast hellscape in the Fallout bibles before Bethesda bought the series.>A dozen brahmin feeding the whole wasteland?What is game scale =/= real world scale. Hell, I recall someone once counted, and there's more brahmin being raised for food in Fo3 than in NV.>Trading what from where?Between all the major settlements they go to in-game.>where are those caravans getting (perishable?) food from Already explained. Rivet city grows large quantities of perishable food in its hydroponics lab that it trades to outside settlement for scrap to repair the city. As I mentioned previously.>And because the water is contaminated that means it doesn't rain either?Its never stated that it doesn't rain in the Capital Wasteland, in fact, a few NPCs mention it raining.>Dude, you are aware that you're reaching, right? That you're smashing a circle into a square? Bending over backwards trying to justify dogshit writing and creative decisions?The only person I see reaching here is you, constantly trying to bend over backwards to find reasons why all of the stuff we see and are told just... doesn't exist? to find a reason to say the game is bad.
Restarting my New Vegas playthrough because not having 10 INT and educated(I thought I'd play without them for once) would be fine but it gives me the ick.
>>573857990You just like leveling up really quick
>>573858184I like getting all my skills really high, especially 100 lockpick and science as soon as possible so I don't miss any loot. I use skilled and good natured and the jsawyer ultimate xp reduction and stuff so I lvl kinda slow.
>>573857559>What is game scale =/= real world scale.So yes, "it happens off screen!" is literally how you explain the crater sized plot holes. Just imagine the mirelurk farm and lab on rivet city being 100x the size, a constant stream of caravans trekking across the wasteland from settlement to settlement feeding thousands or hundreds of thousands. Oh and by the way it rains every time the player isn't looking?And Avellone was talking about the, back then, current state of Fallout. Not 210 years after the war. And even back then there was much more rebuilding going on than in 3 or 4. >boom bombs fall>30 years of legit wasteland tribes and farm small settlements>50 years later towns and trading>100 years later small cities and local law enforcement, medium distance travel>150 years later larger cities and local governmentsThat was the state of the "wasteland" in Fallout 2. Fallout 3 reset all that in everything except for the date on the pipboys.
>>573858516>going on than in 3 or 4.You can't compare 3 and 4. 3 was nuked to hell and back. The Commonwealth was constantly in a state of flux with the Institute depopulating the area for synth experimentation and killing people to maintain control
>>573858370grim
>>573858370you can always go back, anon.I used to do that, still do kinda, but it's more fun to just explore organically
>>573858702>You can't compare 3 and 4. 3 was nuked to hell and back.Do you have something official about Fallouts nukes being different than real world nukes? I can't find anything.>FATHER THERE IS A SETTLEMENT APPROACHING THE POPULATION THRESHOLD>send a squad of synths to destabilize them>i am overcome by an unexplainable desire to keep people from forming any sort of civilizationDUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE
>>573858516>So yes, "it happens off screen!"This is literally not what was said. Is this meant to be bait?>Fallout 3 reset all thatExcept Fallout 3 showed us-Towns all across the wasteland-Usage of water purification systems and nuclear power-Trade caravans internally across the region-Trade routes going as far north as the Commonwealth, and Ronto, as far south as the Broken/Crater Banks, as far west as The Pitt.-Local law enforcement ranging from Lucas Simms in Megaton, to Rivet city security, and groups like the Regulators
>>573858882Yeah keeping notes of where I left a hard lock is annoying just gotta dump all points into lockpick and science as fast as possible.
>>573859267>Do you have something official about Fallouts nukes being different than real world nukes?The Survivalist in Honest Hearts wrote how long the radiation stayed around despite Zion not getting directly hit by nukes.
>>573825758>Xbox should cut a deal with CDPR and use their new engine for the next FalloutUE5?https://www.cdprojekt.com/en/media/news/new-witcher-saga-announced-cd-projekt-red-begins-development-on-unreal-engine-5-as-part-of-a-strategic-partnership-with-epic-games/
>>573859495And that's why Zion is uninhabitable 200 years later.
>>573825758CDPR doesn't use the RedEngine anymore
Anyone else also likes to dump their luck to 1 in fallout new vegas?
>>573859342>Is this meant to be bait?Sorry, i wasn't aware i'd have to explain how a couple veggies from one lab, dozen brahmins and 20 mirelurks can't feed hundreds or thousands of mouths. My bad. Maybe you can?Towns full of people that can't survive because see above. Water purification that doesn't work because project purity has never been used. AND IT DOESN'T RAIN! Trade caravans that see above. Trade routes reaching towns and cities that are just as much in the shit as DC.>local law enforcementI can accept that.
>>573859775I do that usually. And I rip points out of perception if I want to pump something else as well.
great these retards are arguing about completely unrelated stuff that doesn't matter in the great scheme of things
>>573860165>World building doesn't matter.FO76 is getting closed soon and Obsidian will be making all Fallout games from now on, get used to it. This thread will increasingly be populated by people who discuss those things.
>>573860165As if we don't already do that with a shitty Skinner Box FOMO MMO.
>>573859495I'm not sure you know how long 200 years is, anon. The survivalist was literally in the weeks after the bombs. What i was talking about is some dev commentary, an interview or a part of the Fallout bible i haven't seen in which it states that Fallout nukes combine the effects of RDDs with the power of conventional nukes. Or something like "dear diary, today we tested a new type of nuke." followed up with "dear diary, 50 years ago we tested a nuke. yesterday the radiation levels are finally low enough to enter the blast zone with special hazmat suits that don't melt within 100 miles of the outer perimeter."
>>573860348>FO76 is getting closed soonlmao no>and Obsidian will be making all Fallout games from now onthe game isn't even development yet, Microsoft laid off a third of Obsidian, it won't release for like 3 or 4 years>>573860432>I'm not sure you know how long 200 years isNo one cares about the time skip dude.
The gachafag tears are so delicious.
>>573860510>it won't release for like 3 or 4 yearslate to the party, anon. >>573853320
>>573859879>My bad. Maybe you can?By this logic do you think small towns like Goodsprings and Primm in NV are literally just like 10 people? You are aware those have the same scale down?>Towns full of people that can't survive because see aboveTowns that can survive because of the above> Water purification that doesn't work because project purity has never been used.This tells me you haven't played the game, because we see water purification systems in Tenpenny Tower, Megaton, and Rivet city. They're just ineffective, and only eek out enough to let people survive, not thrive. Eden even talks about this in his radio messages.> AND IT DOESN'T RAIN!It does rain.>Trade caravans that see above.Ditto, see above why you're wrong.> Trade routes reaching towns and cities that are just as much in the shit as DC.Except its explicitly pointed out D.C. is the worst off. And we see this in Fallout 4 where the Commonwealth is MUCH better. The BoS even joke about how "you think this is bad, you should be the Capital Wasteland"
>>573860702>It does rain.You either haven't played Fallout 3 without mods or you're just not remembering correctly but it does not rain in Fallout 3. Or is that just another one of those "it happens off screen" events and scaled down everything?>Except its explicitly pointed out D.C. is the worst off.Retcon. Nothing in Fallout 3 explains why it's in a worse state than any other location we had seen up until that game despite being set 200 years after the bombs.
>>573853320And it's hilarious how there are still people defending these layoffs when they could've traded the Bethesda employees they fired with Obsidian's team that are working on the next Fallout. That lead artist horse lady they fired made a ton of the assets they used for Fallout 4, Starfield, and Oblivion and Fallout 3. Giving her to Obsidian would've made more sense. Instead, those roles will be filled by "contractors" which will likely mean UE5 sadly.
>>573861304>Or is that just another one of those "it happens off screen" events and scaled down everything?Rain is mentioned by NPCs several times.>Retcon. Nothing in Fallout 3 explains why it's in a worse state than any other location we had seen up until that game despite being set 200 years after the bombs.Except the entire plot of Fo3 regarding D.C. being hit harder, and thus, its water being turbo fucked.
>>573861518Corporate politics. Some people don't want to work in different environment, some upper management guys don't want people from other companies working on "their" IP even tho they are all under the same umbrella. Highschool tier drama but it happens every day.
>>573861746As management, it's your job to tard wrangle these retards. If you can't do that, then you've already failed. Giving them to another company working on the same projects they always have done is a vastly better outcome than laying them off entirely. What can they even cry about "Oh no, I had to move to a new office! I had to relocate to a different state! I had to work from home and communicate with my boss through Skype!" Oh, the horror!
>>573861731>Rain is mentioned by NPCs several times.You made this claim now several times, you either post some proof or admit that it's bullshit. It does not rain in Fallout 3.>D.C. being hit harderWith special nukes spreading special radiation that contaminates everything forever.
>>573862056https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Rain#cite_note-19>The Lone Wanderer: "Where can I find Ted Strayer?">Rivet City security: "Have you tried the common room? That's where he sleeps. Otherwise...hmmm. You can probably find him on the flight deck some days, if it isn't raining. He usually goes to the Muddy Rudder on Sundays. Beyond that, who knows."https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Checking_out> I was running low on water, so I figured I'd go out and get some instead of waiting for fate to deliver it to me. Hell, I can't remember the last time it rained.
>>573861982It's more like "I don't want to work under this producer" or "i don't want someone from RIVAL COMPANY coming in and working on MY project" Petty bullshit.
>>573862186One single line from a guard mentioning rain and one line in a holotape talking about how extremely rare rain is. You realize that hurts your argument more than it helps, right?
>>573862450I said it rained, I never said it rained regularly. your argument was that it never rained, I posted dialogue showing that it does in fact rain. So, no, this doesn't hurt my argument more than it helps. It literally proves my argument that it does rain, and contradicts your argument that it never rains.Also, that line is shared by a number of NPCs in Rivet city, guards and not, so multiple people in Rivet city will mention the rain when asked.
>>573862695No anon, what would have helped you is a screenshot or a video clip of rain falling from the sky in game. That is the only thing.
>>573862835So you went from>>573862056>Rain is mentioned by NPCs several times.>You made this claim now several times, you either post some proof or admit that it's bullshit.
