Fallout series

[GlupShitto]

Same here at least 4 has the rare diamond in the rough like Nick and Far Harbor, then again I also enjoy building settlements so yeah.

Fallout 4 is kind of an anomaly to me because it's one of the worst RPGs I've ever played and I'm inclined to say I don't like it, but it's also one of the greatest sandbox games ever made and as such I've poured well over a thousand hours into it and keep coming back to it after a decade.

An update to this:
I really like Lucky, it's such a fun pistol to use despite its slow reload time, but I got a perk that negates that.
My first kill in the run was Malcom Holmes, but that's only because he was chasing me so I lead him into the landmines at Primm. The first two shots with Lucky were head exploding crits. I had to crank the difficulty up to very hard just to get a bit more of a challenge.
I'm only level 10 right now, I've got the 1st Recon Berret, and I plan on siding with the NCR (which, in my 13 years of playing, have never done) after doing Honest Hearts and Lonesome Road. Thank you for the suggestion

Do Dead Money and Old World Blues too.

Same here, and honestly 4 makes for a fantastic modding platform that you can easily customize to be however you want. I personally like including unlevelled world mods along with things like maim, scourge and true damage to make things a lot more difficult along with overhauls that give it a more traditional Fallout skill system.

Do Dead Money and Old World Blues too

I want to do Old World Blue, but those roboscorpions have insane DT. That and I'm not sure how much .357 I could find. Dead Money would have to basically be a pacifist run because I wouldn't have my pistol on me for the entire DLC. But if I do Dead Money I will be carrying those gold bars all the way back to Vegas.

We know that thanks to lore from the sequel. I'm talking about F1 in isolation. Maybe I'm the dum dum and everyone guessed at first glance that the Overseer was a shitbag who always wanted the Vault Dweller gone, but I did not get that impression playing for the first time. Yeah, there's a sidequest in V13 to convince a movement wanting to go out to stay inside for a little longer, but Jacoren himself did not come off as malicious or being on some sort of secret plan. More like scared that all these young people who'd follow you would get themselves killed for no benefit. Genuinely afraid you'd destroy them.

At this point you're just literally writing fanfiction based on things that aren't true and were never true. Even Todd understood Jacoren was a prick when they basically re-did Vault 13 with Vault 101 and just made Jacoren again(except he's an even bigger asshole now). It takes some real skill to understand a franchise less than b*thesda themselves, only other people I can think of off the top of my head now would be the Fallout Frontier devs and their fanfic interpretations of factions.

I mean honestly I'd make an exception for DM or install one of those mods that lets you keep your stuff but limit yourself to just Lucky and whatever armor you can find in the Sierra Madre, or treat a Police Pistol as as a temporary stand in since it's also a revolver. As for OWB you could always just book it and avoid as many of the roboscorpions as you can and do it right after DM so you can use your gold bars to stock up on .357 and just pray for crits when you do need to fight them.

Ah, so you subscribe to CRPGAddict's school of rpg design ;P

At

How many times are we gonna go over this.
- there was no fallout 2 yet
- vault 13 was a drop of sanity in a sea of madness
- overseer was not on some Social Preservation Project secret plan
- theres nothing in the game itself stating that he hates you personally, so you could interpret his intentions as pure especially if you had no internet or even manual at the time
- unity was a serious threat at the time, now they look laughable next to enclave or even the ncr
- I did not play past Tactics so I have no idea what you're rambling about Emil or whatever or care what Bethesda thinks

You know what, you've convinced me. I'll do it for you

 

[Mysterious Autist XX]

The way I look at things is that Dead Money is the best DLC so it is only right to include it and at that point you may as well do OWB so that you can do all of the content you can.


Actually this makes me wanna reinstall the game and do a challenge run myself, maybe a shotgun run I don't know yet.

Shotgun? It's very fun but i really hate ammo weight on hardcore mode.

Better using Laser. I done a Laser Commander-focused playthrought last time (and now) and it's still fun killing everyone with laser crits.

If you genuinely think Fallout 4 is an RPG(or Skyrim, for that matter) then you truly well deserve that triangle.
I guarantee you that I spend more time on it than you and I say it's a garbage sandbox game. I tried fixing it with mods, mine or others, it cannot be done. You have to start over and set up a new foundation, there is simply too much to change. I want my time back that I spend modding and running tests on the game, I could use it towards building a better RPG from the grounds up, hell maybe contributing to that Van Buren revival project instead.

That's really sad and not an own at all lol

hottake the pitch for fallout van bured fucking sucked and im glad we got new vegas out of it

Considering your shitty taste in everything, especially games, I take that as a compliment more than anything, you got filtered out by it. Also, we didn't get "New Vegas" out of it, New Vegas is what we would get AFTER Van Buren, it was Fallout 4 that was being set up to happen after the events of Van Buren aka the original Fallout 3. Typical tourist.

It really is telling that just the design documents, something that only exists on paper, is already better than most of b*thesda's content. Then again, bugthesda stopped making design documents, just ask Emil about his thought process behind Starfield. Or maybe he did write those documents but made paper planes out of them and forget where they went, who knows, either way Van Buren is still one of the better Fallout games and it doesn't even exist(yet).

Van Buren seems so odd for a grounded-plot like FO1 or wacky-funny like FO2.

go and play fallout 4 more despite the fact you hate it you sped

That's the thing, it was going back to the roots of Fallout 1 and we were finally going to get a serious plot with a serious antagonist and serious stakes again. From the design docs, we see that there would be minimal pop culture references and memes, which shows they got the memo that players didn't like that from Fallout 2. We were going to go back to more serious themes, New Plague was a very interesting addition too since it was a dynamic story and gameplay element, based on your actions you could either devise a cure and save the wasteland or doom it by unknowingly spreading it around everywhere. I liked how the towns and NPCs were also much more rough around the edges, Reservation with ghoul supremacists that did unethical human experiments or Daughters of Hecate that would serve as a female equivalent of Ceasar's Legion like faction come to mind. Stark contrast with something like New Reno or San Francisco in Fallout 2, which seem like an idea straight out of a cartoon. Even Harold would have gotten much better treatment than in Fallout 3 if he appeared in the Nursery, hell considering the events in 3 that part might as well be canon. I could talk about Van Buren all day, I am endlessly fascinated by how interesting those design docs are despite being incomplete and how these ideas would change the franchise forever, but it's clear I won't find much in the way of a conversation partner in this thread.

Good example above, run-on sentence brown retard with poor grammar and ESL coded message that makes no sense, I guess that's what spending $100+ dollars on GTA 6(no disk) and then seething about people making fun of you for it all day does to your brain. Oh well, I guess I can have a good Van Buren conversation elsewhere with actual fans of the franchise.

tacos are "awarded" for being a nuisance, not for taste in videogames
also who is Emil Galt?

I done a Laser Commander-focused playthrought last time

A build with laser commander while only using the MF Hyperbreeder would be great. Crits with no ammo to worry about

I guarantee you that I spend more time on it than you

You spend more time on a game you hate than somebody else? You win?

hottake the pitch for fallout van bured fucking sucked and im glad we got new vegas out of it

Me too. The New Vegas they had planned wouldn't have been as good as what we got. We still got the bad ending for the franchise, but New Vegas is really what makes it all worth it

New Plague was a very interesting addition too since it was a dynamic story and gameplay element, based on your actions you could either devise a cure and save the wasteland or doom it by unknowingly spreading it around everywhere

I've read the design docs. Very mid when compared to FNV. Also, weren't you the guy that admitted to jerking it to the stripper's nipple tape at Gomorrah?

Last time i checked Van Buren didn't come out so it is objectively correct to say we got New Vegas out of the cancelation of Van Buren

Then again, bugthesda stopped making design documents, just ask Emil

Can you please fuck marry and or kill Emil at this point? You are genuinely obsessed with him more than people who actually like his work at this point

New Plague was a very interesting addition too since it was a dynamic story and gameplay element, based on your actions you could either devise a cure and save the wasteland or doom it by unknowingly spreading it around everywhere.

Oh that's where 76 got the idea from? Didn't think they took much from VB outside of that crashed space station being the one from VB in concept art

I could talk about Van Buren all day

You should try that over what you actually talk about

Oh well, I guess I can have a good Van Buren conversation elsewhere with actual fans of the franchise.

You can have that here but you sperg out and call people brown retards for ragebaiting you after you willingly take said bait. You have also said this thread is full of tourists and people who hate actual fallout so why make attempts here based on your own words?
