>Zach is completely autistic and he intends on making ERX THE mod, dude been working on it for almost half a decade now, and he keeps adding more mechanics, unit types and toys to keep you busy while you plow tribals with 1k manpower, that's his whole shtick.
Yeah and a lot of the added reformer content is shit, cringe and gay. A LOT is good, cool and straight but there is just so much that I will never play (Nevada) or simply have no interest in pursuing (full integration). Every time I see the stupid fucking racoons, ghouls in uniform or marvel tier shit featured in some of the artworks I momentarily forget about the great stuff in the mod. It's just such wildly different experience that I don't see the need to have them be together. This is a personal gripe of course and I don't actually expect Zach (the tranny shit almost made me write him off) to do it but imo it would be a better to have them separate, especially since the Purists and Reformers will grow even more in scale.
>I think people overblow ERX stinkers
It's coming from a place of love. I want the mod to continue being great which is why I am so opposed to some of the stuff that really puts me off, like the wastelander literal whore becoming your treasurer without the choice to say no. It could be said that I'm fighting phantoms here but when you look at so many mods which have had steady deteriorations I simply don't buy the excuses anymore. It could be completely just a matter of taste but compare top and bottom of pic related, Diana is a cool concept the other is just reddit aids.

Purists are gonna get a big update eventually (2 weeks) trust the plan. Also I like the full reformer path, the wastelander hooker being your treasurer and stuff like that is dumb, but I don't mind the option to make S'Lanter, Ghouls, Super Mutants, Mole Miners, and eventually Synths and Sentient Deathclaws American.

That teaser looks clean, Purists WILL have the final KINO Victory.
I just think all that stuff is badly placed, it is a mod about the Enclave and for that amount of mutie lovin be an option is like the Brotherhood being led by feminist tumblr moral fag stand-ins, oh wait. Would be fine as a retarded Wild Wasteland option I suppose.
Synths would be neat, I've always thought about Eden getting a synth body being a cool concept

Not to sound like a liberal or anything but do I have to kill Granite as Anderson? Part of me wants to redeem him or at least keep him alive as a prisoner. Dark Granite Purist path when?
>>
>>2466482
>First spoiler
I see nothing wrong with it as the player isn't forced to go this route and you also get some initial blowback for doing stuff like integrating Super Mutants and are later on given the choice of reversing this choice and just killing them when difficulties start to arise.
>Second spoiler
Would be a cool outcome of Eden's Enclave winning on the East Coast. Could also maybe have the option of giving Diana a synth body or in Granite's ultimate dictator path let him become a synth so he can become immortal and rule America forever.
>>2466484
Granite and Anderson will always try to kill each other after the election, no getting around it.
>Dark Granite Purist path when?
Already in as either him being a dictator who enforces integration with ruthlessness or simply a dictator who enforces segregation.

It's a matter of aesthetic and consistency I suppose, to me the Enclave are the Enclave and shouldn't be something else. That doesn't mean every path has to be purist, moderate integrationists and segregationists makes perfect sense, but they are the Enclave. The Legion should not have an equal rights feminist path and the NCR should not suddenly institute Russian Tsarist feudalism, just giving more options to a tag does not automatically make it good content. The big E should mean something, it should be more then just "what if more liberal NCR but power armour".
>Diana
She is a must for a synth transfer, that assaultron art with the hologram is just too perfect for her to not have a body. Immortal Granite and her ruling as Eternal President and First Lady is pure Fallout.
>Purist Granite
I wouldn't exactly count Dictator Granite as a Purist on either counts. Him going all Nixon with the wiretaps could happen no matter his politics. It would probably be redundant considering he has his segregation path but the idea of him defeating Anderson purely out of desiring to become President and be the one in charge of the extermination and reconquest is interesting to me. Maybe's it's just Anderson is lamer then Granite.

>the Enclave are the Enclave and shouldn't be something else
That's understandable. But personally I'm okay with the Enclave being able to undergo radical change due to the circumstances presented. Them being able to be accepting of Wastelanders is already a monumental shift for them.
>I wouldn't exactly count Dictator Granite as a Purist on either counts.
I missed the Purist part mb.
>Maybe's it's just Anderson is lamer then Granite
Anderson can do some cool shit like stare down a raging Frank Horrigan, swear vengeance on the NCR after witnessing them killing Enclave citizens, and lead the Enclave survivors at the Bloomfield Space Center. He just needs some more love from the devs and an ending where he doesn't get the Enclave killed.

One of the main issues with Anderson is when compared to Granite he is just so much less interesting, partly due to Granite's rpg potential which Anderson almost completely lacks and partly due to him being written like a parody. I can definitely see Granite as Presidential material but Anderson just seems so much worse in that department. I want to see the specifics of the Purist update and potential leaders offered because currently I'd prefer a Purist Granite over Anderson as it currently stands.

That more shows your own biases and personal feelings, and shows you are just too much of a normalfag.
Anderson is perfect as he is, and he will save the Enclave and Wasteland.

Worldwar and colonisation
Worldwar you have lizards, whose divisions are head and shoulders above humans, but they have trouble replenishing them. They can’t act too rushly either.
Humans are outclassed, but we outnumber them and have a few tricks up our sleeve like naval raids and ginger, but have to watch out for alliance breaking. You could push the Race off, have them win, partial victory (like in books, but with more or less countries surviving), humans negotiating semi-independence, etc.
For colonisation, you have a five way cold war but with humans semi-alligned together. Lots of proxy conflicts and potential to finish what was started. Interesting scenarios as well. Legacy of fighting together leads to potential German reaproachment with USSR, Japan supporting Vietcong and Mao, humans getting into space (I remember seeing some mod with a space combat mechanic), like imagine lizard shock when humans launch an Orion battleship
Sidenote, but with Colonisation in hindsight doesn’t it mean that Nazis were basically justified in committing a falseflag? In fact looking critically at the series it has quite interesting implications despite turtledove being a hack

On the topic of Fallout, any opinions on New World Ember's lore and map setup? I know Fallout's European lore tends to be pretty untouched save for the European Commonwealth but I think they've done a pretty good job with Germany so far. The East being Communist is interesting as to my knowledge the Warsaw Pact dissolved though I'm pretty sure the USSR didn't despite some maps sometimes showing post 91 borders, specifically because of Natalia's background in Fallout 1. Assuming it continues on, I think it would be interesting to think about how the Soviet Union would interact with the wider world and Europeans since they didn't get involved (that I know of) in either the Sino-American war or the European-Middle East conflict. Also since the only oil wells still active are Alaska you'd have to imagine the Soviets would be in a really rough spot unless they went full in on nuclear energy. The mod devs probably shouldn't go to far past Leningrad, Moscow and Stalingrad if they are going to include them, at least until the West is fully developed. I wonder if they'll add a Commonwealth successor state.
>>
>>2466594
They update the mod at all since releasing it? Hope they don't abandon it since there's a monumental level of potential there.
>>
>>2466594
I still think it is too centralised with way too big warlords, and the borders are also weird geographically.
>>
>>2466594
Still haven't played it. I keep meaning to. It looks fun but I also agree a bit with >>2466608 that it looks a bit off. But you know what? I'll give them the benefit of a doubt and honestly its weirdness isn't that different from how OWB itself is weird.
>>
Also, lot of the nations just by names alone, lack that Fallout style, like the fact that there is no nation of Coal Miners in Silesia. >>2466594 It really feels like it was made by someone who doesn't actually play Fallout and just skimmed wiki. Like in Fallout you literally have Caesar´d Legion, Super mutants, Ghouls, Crazy Super Computers and The Master.

To be fair, we know basically nothing about Europe in Fallout. But maybe that could actually be a bonus, they could do nearly anything there and it wouldn't be lore breaking. As for FEV related stuff like Super Mutants I guess you could shoehorn it in with the excuse of the US government doing FEV experiments abroad in an allied European country. Overall I agree the mod could use some more wacky/out there stuff. Maybe add a ghoul larping as Charlemagne or a robot tag that was programmed to fight communism but is now malfunctioning and considers any nations with even slightly socialistic elements to be its sworn enemy? You could also include the Enclave without it being total bullshit since this sprite in F2 implied they were a global organization.
>>
>>2466674
Yeah, the mod could do anything literally. But so far it feels really milktoast.
>>
>>2466597
Not to my knowledge, it's very bare bones but the potential is definitely there like you say. I feel the need to not have that much hope just so I don't get burned.
>>2466608
What's your main geographic complaint? Hopefully some of the border provinces get fleshed out once Poland and France get added.
>>2466623
>>2466663
It's interesting to think about how Germany would develop in Fallout's timeline but because of the complete lack of lore it does become very unguided. My canon for them is that they try to offset their energy issues by focusing on autarkic automation and looting the surrounding nations, perhaps with a resurgence of Reich-like parties before the nukes fall after seeing the collapse of European solidarity. As the material world gets ripped from them have them reach out in a Wagnerian type of way for something greater to believe in and hold to. Nothing more orchestral as a nuclear finale.
>>2466674
I don't think Europe and the US were allied pre-war, to my understanding the US was more or less entirely focused on the Pacific and the American continents. I read that map as them reconing other surviving government groups, those who may not necessarily have the level of tech as the Enclave but still survived somehow in bunkers.

"This day marks the beginning of what would later become the Canton Merchants' Corps Uprising, one of the first challenges to the Kuomintang's political ambitions, and the first directly tied to its alliance with the nascent CPC.
