Bilal posted:The Vaults are the worst locations in the game. I can't stand trudging through them. I've gone through each one in previous playthroughs, and now I avoid them completely. It's all the tedium of crappy old dungeon crawls where everything looks the exact same without any interesting combat or puzzles. Did you go through Vault 11? Just curious

They all have the same design problem of DC in Fallout 3, where someone thought it'd be a fun idea to make a bunch of paths that *look* like they can be traversed in a straight line, but there is always some file cabinet or fallen pillar or insurmountable trash can forcing you to take a loop around and become completely lost.

The thing is, no matter how good the story surrounding the vault is (and 11 is by all means the best in that regard), it's not enough to make them fun to play.

I like the vaults but I have to be in the mood for a traversal. I need to do Vault 34 to pick up my stealth ranger mod stuff but I never feel comfortable with less than 50 Radaway. I tend to play stealth so I move so much slower through irradiated areas. ED-E tends to be a liability in Vault 22 though with all the explosive stuff in there. I might have to have it wait outside or something.

I really enjoyed whatever the garden vault was, if only because of the mad dash in the finale since I lacked the equipment to do a proper demolition. Also, the outside area is pretty to look at. Kind of the same reason I liked Oasis a lot in FO3. Just get tired of wasteland.

I've been having so much fun with maxed out luck; I started with 10 luck 10 endurance and 8 int, I've maxed out survival and medical and nothing can stop me. It's like people will get aneurysms rather than fight me, and in fighting two tough named ghouls one of them accidentally dropped an incendiary grenade right at his feet. Usually I grind repair skill but I went with science, but I'm not putting points into any weapon skills because it seems like my character already just gets crits to hand out like candy. Oh yeah but I have to always have a steady supply of beer because my strength is usually hovering around 1 or 2.

I am loving this game so much. I'm at the point where I can choose who to side with in the main quest, and I'm inclined to go with the "none of the above" option. How far into the other questlines can I go before being locked out of it? There's some NCR quests I want to do. Specifically I understand that you can save the Brotherhood of Steel by doing a certain NCR quest, and while I don't care about them one way or the other, I like Veronica too much to let everyone she ever knew die off. Also, ED-E is wonderful. I love the little guy more than any of the FO3 companions, even though I had a soft spot for Charon.

henpod posted:I don't know how you guys have multiple playthroughs. This is the first rpg I have ever played, and probably the last. As much as I am enjoying it (and that's a lot) I just find it too much work! I guess I am a gaming simpleton who likes having more linear gameplay, but all of the decisions and micromanagement is overwhelming. I have enough of that stress in my real life. Yeah right. That feeling of planning and anticipation that kept you up at night? That might fade a bit but it doesn't go away. You'll be back for more.

If you complete the quest "Still in the Dark" for the Brotherhood, and have good Brotherhood reputation, you should be able to broker a truce with the NCR. Get to the point in the main NCR quest – "For The Republic, Part 2" – where Moore asks you to take out the Brotherhood, and then talk to Elder McNamera. If you replaced him with Hardin, a truce will not be possible. If you follow the Yes Man quest long enough, you'll automatically fail "For The Republic, Part 2" and Moore will disappear from the game. You can still do other NCR quests and maintain a good NCR reputation. Yes Man is always available – and unkillable – so follow the NCR line as long as you can, and switch over to him whenever you're ready.

It's kind of fun how the NCR are probably the most likeable bunch in the Mohave while you're wandering it, because all you're really running into are the wayward platoons stuck fighting a losing battle with the Legion. Then you get to the Dam and start seeing all the bureaucratic fuckups people meant when they said "NCR sucks".

Because you are going to hate every second of that miserable hellhole. Also, re: FO3/BoS chat. I ignore any and all story elements from that game and pretend they never happened, let alone 'don't take them as canon'. Bethesda couldn't write an intelligent and compelling story to save their lives and a faction like the BoS was, as already mentioned, just completely beyond them. Also, almost every super mutant was a mute, automatically hostile boss-enemy. gently caress that stupid game.

This is going to be a dumb question but is there any way to look at your character face on after creating them? Whenever I sit down and try to rotate the character, it just rotates my FoV instead.

Not to sound like a adamant fanboy because things like this bug are very annoying, but in regards to the "they give no fucks" thing - Obsidian makes absolutely no money from this game anymore as far as I know, and I believe they needed permission/money from Bethesda in order to continue to work on official patches and stuff like that? I think this is the reason that J.Sawyer's mod is a mod instead of an official patch, as it's pretty much changes to the way the game works that he thought were necessary but that have no official backing to them? Please anybody correct me if I have this wrong.

If I won the lottery tomorrow I would seriously just throw all the money at Obsidian and tell them to do whatever. This is probably gonna sound pretty silly but I can't even begin to keep track of the amount of time I've spent daydreaming before/after playing some New Vegas about what they could do. Just broke 340 hours on my main save, probably another 20-30 at least of dicking around without saving and then my multiple attempts to get DM to play nice. Still no end in sight. loving hell I love this game. Meanwhile, I haven't touched FO3 in forever and have no intention of doing so, and I only ever fire up Skyrim when I feel like hunting poo poo. Neither managed to suck me in like New Vegas has, and in Skyrim's case I literally could not give any less of a toss about the main quest line. I haven't made any progress at all beyond Whiterun.

One of the big problems with FO3 is that there are so few locations, and they aren't connected, so the only way to discover more of the game is to go out wandering the wasteland for hours, hoping that you don't get jumped by a deathclaw. And if you try to cheat by using the internet, the game refuses to come back once you alt + tab out of it. The writing is also so terrible that it's incredibly disappointing how many missed opportunities and plotholes that there are.

It's all the tedium of crappy old dungeon crawls where everything looks the exact same without any interesting combat or puzzles. Couldn't disagree more. Going through a freshly discovered vault to find out what crazy experiment was going on there and how it turned out is one of the highlights in the entire game. Though I must admit I rarely go to them now that I know what's in them since they're not relevant to the main quest except if you want to befriend the Brotherhood but they're a bunch of jerks and I just blow them up myself.

To be absolutely fair to Bethesda, they did get a few things right with FO3. I actually really like the design of their power armor (T-45d.) It manages to look cool (well I haven't really made up my mind up about the gigantic shoulder pauldrons (?) they're a bit stupid) while still looking like a technological precursor to the T-51b. Making a "prequel" art style that's attractive while not upstaging what actually happens later is something that not all games get right (Deus Ex 3 comes to mind from trailers though I haven't actually played it yet.) Rivet City and Megaton were neat ideas as well art-wise, left in search of a legitimate reason to exist, which actually describes a lot of the things they came up with for that game. (There's a vampire cult. But why? There's a big old pre-war apartment building in the middle of nowhere. But why?) And some of their vaults were pretty fun. IMO the key to a good vault is sustaining the repeated visual elements with challenging or at least interesting gameplay as well as story, which is why I hate Vault 11 despite having one of the cooler experiments taking place in it.

A nice strategic decision, as it allows House to pin both the Legion forces and the NCR forces on the dam as he covers both ends of it, and just work his way toward the middle.
