Lets gently caress Bro posted:Hanlon at Camp Golf, for the radio frequencies quest. I feel especially bad because I wasn't trying to make him do that, just get him to stop sabotaging his own troops. He just sort of decided to kill himself rather than be taken into custody. Apparently, if you kill Caesar before you confront him, you can convince him that the Mojave war isn't futile. I didn't know that on my first playthrough, either. But at least I got a kickass revolver off his corpse.

One week they're a bunch of escaped cons hanging out in an empty vault, the next they're joining the Great Khans, and like a week later they're forcibly recruited into the Legion. Hell, they could even be the ones crucifying their Powder Ganger brethren at the NCRCF. They get off pretty lucky.

Blunt Force Trauma posted:Has anyone tried out the Badass Wasteland Restoration Mod for FO3? It looks like it would totally change the ambiance of FO3 in to something much different, I like the idea of fighting through a 'living' wasteland instead of a 'dead' wasteland. Does it look as good in-game as it does in the screenshots? I had a mod for Fallout 3 that was either this mod, or a very similar one. I turned it off quickly, for the simple fact that none of the new trees that were added were solid. They were a 3d model that you could walk through, but the enemies ignored. So basically you're getting peppered by enemies through trees that they don't know are there but are blocking your view.

rvdleun posted:Interesting tidbit from JE Sawyer's formspring that might answer some questions regarding the independent ending... Whoa, can we talk about this? I didn't even know there was any question about this, I always thought the ending strongly implied that Yes Man would take control of New Vegas after installing his new "assertive" personality. He already has control of the upgraded securitrons, and is about to free himself from your control.

New Vegas Theory #5: Using Yes-Man to take over New Vegas leads to his software being upgraded to "No-Man" (as in, "No Man", aka Robot.) House's fail-safe kicks in, and with new found assertion, New Vegas becomes a mechanical blemish on the face of the Earth, devoid of life, slowly spreading, assimilating all it comes in touch with. Eventually you assume House's place, surrounding yourself with insane delusions of creating the perfect example of man. Basically, you become a robot version of the Master.

I just figured Yes Man doing his upgrade thing meant he wouldn't be a push over if some other jerk decided to rock up and try to get all my vital information from him.

I didn't even know there was any question about this, I always thought the ending strongly implied that Yes Man would take control of New Vegas after installing his new "assertive" personality. He already has control of the upgraded securitrons, and is about to free himself from your control. The Yes Man ending leaves the Courier in charge of an independent city state. The ending slides are vague about how New Vegas is run, and what happens next, as with the courier in control, anything could happen. You could make New Vegas a lawless den of drugs, whores, and gambling, where the only law of the land is to cater to the Courier's every whim. You could work to increase the output of the Dam and establish a good commercial relationship with the NCR, and use the wealth to fund the Followers of the Apocalypse, doing their best to create an ideal society. You could establish a republic and step down from power, or rule with an iron fist. You could do anything. They can't even say if the courier was involved in government or not. You could be the actual Mayor of New Vegas, but it would also be wildly out of character for other couriers, who'd just disappear off into the sunset. All the ending slides say- all they could say, really- is that things were hard, and maintaining order wasn't easy. It's one of the more fun endings to think about, but one of the less satisfying ones to actually read the ending slides for. And the whole thing would be really dumb and pointless if you just got usurped by a robot. Which you didn't.

I really enjoyed the implication in the ending slides that independent Vegas is run pretty poorly. Being a good ruler is hard, and it makes sense that the Courier can't hack it - he can do a lot of other stuff, but he's not omnipotent.

All the endings seem like the Courier doesn't really get much. It would have been nice if House/Oliver/Lanius/Yes Man asked you during their conversation with you at the end "what do you want to do" and the ending reflected that.

SpaceMost posted:~*~ So what would everyone like to see included/done differently in the next Fallout game? ~*~ As silly as it sounds, I would really like them to add in some graphical touches like moving cloth - it's a dumb thing to get hung up on but walking through hanging curtains that just hang eternally motionless always bugged me. So I guess I'm asking for a different engine (the one they used for Rage looks really nice, and as far as I can tell that game is quasi-Fallout already) with a few basic graphical upgrades.

SpaceMost posted:~*~ So what would everyone like to see included/done differently in the next Fallout game? ~*~ I had an idea for a future Fallout game that would be set another hundred years or so into the future. The first half would have a prologue before the war, then your character experiences the war and the immediate aftermath as he tries to reach a group of scientists who were about to launch a probe into deep space. Once you reach them you are sent into space, and get stuck in suspended animation like in the 1970s Buck Rogers TV series. When you come back, you find a peaceful agrarian society in the eastern part of the USA that has reached roughly mid-20th century levels of technology, with alcohol fueled cars and airplanes, and of course some bits of salvaged high technology. They are being threatened by a more technologically advanced nation of religious extremists in the west, as well as strange creatures that were thought extinct for decades. The twist is that the good guys are the descendants of the Legion, while the enemy are what the NCR became, and they venerate the Courier, who helped them with technology from Big MT. You'd have plenty of usable vehicles, and you would use your spaceship as a home base and a way to travel from region to region.

In the next fallout, I want more green, more people. I know this is fallout, but a nice lush area would be awesome. More people would be awesome. I also want some sort of town/base building sim built in.

I want the next Fallout to return to isometric, or something similar. EDIT: Oh! And lots more backroom politicking. Not necessarily 'go here and blow up their factory to sabotage their operations' but more 'sweet talk so-and-so into sleeping with you and then photographing their secret documents'.

He aims a 10mm SMG at you and burst fires. Your head pops off and your upper-torso is shredded to bits. Somehow you still manage to scream.
