Tewratomeh posted:I played completely through the game with two people so far and I had no idea you could bind weapons and items to hotkeys. That would've made shooting up as soon as each drug fades away a hell of a lot easier, not to mention oh, I don't know, shooting people in the legs and their weapons out of their hands, then whipping out a chainsaw and chasing them down. Unfortunately, if you have weapons mapped to numbers and enter a casino (or any place where they take your weapons), you'll have to remap them when you come back out.

Francois Kofko posted:the way zion was set up kind of bugged me; i have a bad habit of jumping off cliffs and super stimming myself back up if I actually get hurt, which always tends to leave my followers behind [I had to wait about 5 minutes for joshua graham to show up with me at the very end of the last mission] Hey cliff jumping buddy!  I thought I was the only one too impatient to find the designated path.

For all of the folks talking about the political systems in NV, you are forgetting one important player: The Enclave. They represent what the United States was during The Great War, not the NCR. The Enclave are xenophobic bastards who want to sterilize the wasteland so they can start over with a pure strain of humanity. The NCR are more like the actual United States of the early 1900s with their jingoistic expansion clouding better judgment. They want to grow because they think they think this time it will be different. They have the bureaucracy to run it well, though not efficiently and they are inclusive rather than exclusive. If you play ball with them, you are allowed to keep your identity and your society, just pay taxes and defer to the NCR when asked. That's a much more humane tactic than either The Enclave, who will destroy you if you aren't pure (which is everyone but The Enclave and some of the vaults) or Caesar's Legion who will dominate and assimilate you by force and turn your men into soldiers and your woman into slaves and breeders. The NCR might be too optimistic about their chances, and they might fail, but they are a group that I would much rather support. They have the right idea, is what I am saying even if they don't have the ability to carry it to completion. House is a megalomaniac with delusions of grandeur. Sure he built Vegas and has an unstoppable army of Securitrons, but he's also a single human being making plans without the input of any advisers and without regard to anything but his own bottom line and his daydreams. The Yes Man ending is the only ending that makes sense. Your Courier is a demi-god by the end of the game (even if you take Logan's Loophole). Who would question you? You have been out in the world and seen what humanity is capable of. You know our strengths and weaknesses. You know who to trust and you've already killed or crippled those you can't trust. Hell, Fallout IV might as well be a city sim where you run New Vegas as The Courier.

SlothfulCobra posted:The NCR reminds me more of the waning days of the Roman Republic. The only thing keeping them going is what they manage to get through more expansion. All that needs to happen is for the president to get a heavy following amongst the common man and start butting heads with the Senate, and before you know it, people will start dying until someone takes over as emperor. It is implied that Caesars Legion has a stable empire and that what you experience is the expansionist, military edge of it. We never got to see that part of it and if Chris Avellone's comments are any indication, it is an awesome utopia that would clearly be the best option for the wasteland if we'd just open our eyes. I don't know how "realistic" that is, but that's what he said that one time that I can't find the quote for. I still think the NCR can stumble along and be a success precisely because of the checks and balances bureaucracy creates. It will be bloody and filled with pus, but it will grow despite adversity, slowly but surely.

Speedball posted:I'm surprised there wasn't more closure on the tunnelers. Unless someone does something about them, they're going to emerge in the Mojave and wreck everyone's day someday. I thought that maybe the point of blowing up all warheads in the valley was to collapse their tunnels or something. There is the possibility that Ulysses is full of poo poo since he is sort of psycho and the Tunnelers aren't really spreading.

rope kid posted:Thanks. That song and three others I sang are actually in the core game. The Lonesome Drifter sings three of them and Bruce Isaac sings the last one. They are performed at Aces in the Tops after you complete Talent Pool. I only completed that quest one time. I sat in the club, "waiting" 1 hour at a time and got to see every other act but The Lonesome Drifter. Some of them twice. I really wanted to hear you sing. At least I got to hear one of your songs in that Game of the Year promo.

Evoq posted:So, let me get this straight: You dont think OWB is Fallouts Portal? Are we playing the same game here? Mobius is very much like a crazier version of Dr. Morbius from Forbidden Planet. Only, instead of expanding his mind with alien technology, he intentionally restricts it (and his co-workers' minds, too) to stop himself from trying to conquer the earth. Dr. Borous' creation of Nightstalkers and Cazadores just because he could are huge throwbacks to sci-fi through the 50s, 60s, and 70s where playing god always had negative consequences regardless of the intention. I was reminded mostly of the terrible movie Food of the Gods. I'm not sure what inspired Dr. Dala's strange obsession, but it called to mind Barbarella and that orgasmotron (or whatever it was called) that they hooked her up to to kill her with pleasure. She broke the machine instead. Even Dr. 8's weird speaking being understandable by suitably intelligent protagonists made me remember the dude communicating with the Venusian in It Conquered the World. In short, the references go back way before Portal. redmercer posted:I didn't even know "Something's Gotta Give" was an original song until I finished Dead Money. And I just learned that right now. Wow.

rope kid posted:Yeah, I didn't really get that. LARPing in a computer game is pretty much just... role-playing, isn't it? That's specifically why it is important to support a player's character concept consistently, if possible. Maybe he is a die-hard min/maxer/twinker and things that role playing is for dorks.
