Michigan might be too depressing a location to set an apocalyptic survival game, though. RON BURGUNDY WAS RIGHT. Zorak posted:Given how the quests with the Institute in FO3 worked, I wouldn't be surprised if they did the New England area for the next Fallout. Especially since civilization apparently has re-developed a ton in that area (somehow?) I always thought it was that MIT didn't get hit.

I say "try", because I shot him down in the mud like I was Jack Palance in Shane I used a Ranger Sequoia, cause that's how I roll. I realize it's already a semi-unique but god drat I wish there was a special one of those.

steady posted:Just look at their gear. Weapons are crude and primitive, armor is pilfered from some sports-gear warehouse. Caesar's weaponry is primitive because it's manufactured by the Legion, rather than being scavenged from Old World ruins. You can see a guy making Legion Machetes at Fortification Hill. As for the rest of the economy, apparently the Legion's trade networks are far more reliable (and probably profitable) than the NCR's. Compare Cass' stories about being pretty much totally on her own to the trader at Fortification Hill, who when you ask about bandits he's like "Bitch, please. I'm trading under the Legion's colors; nobody fucks with me."

Everything. I installed the underwater vault house with the sorters and the display shelves so it fans the flames of my hoarding. It's just shelves of guns and ammo, or food and drink, or currency, or drugs. It arranges them on shelves and walls FOR ME! How can I resist?

Naky posted:Annexed is not the same as 'wiped the gently caress out'. They would have zero reason to raze the resources and taking over a country doesn't relocate all of its cities so... question still stands. Well, the US army had imposed martial law before the war (FO1 opening video pretty much spells that out), so I imagine poo poo went absolutely berserk when the bombs fell, in wherever wasn't hit. Even in places that weren't hit, everything still pretty much goes to poo poo after the war, like the Survivalist and Raul tell us, and I don't think having US Army troops in power armor executing dudes in the street helps that. Best case scenario? Canadian wilderness regresses to a pre-Industrial state, worst case it's overrun by giant mutant animals that hunger for human flesh.

Sheen Sheen posted:Isn't it pretty much a given that someone will make Fallout: New York as long as the series remains profitable? It's more or less the most iconic American setting in existence, and given Fallout's Americana thing I have to imagine that it will happen at some point (this is also why I don't think Fallout: Canada will ever happen) Sad thing is, I'm pretty sure it will end up like a comment I saw on the trailer for one of the NV DLCs on YouTube. "Fallout 4 will be awesome it will be in New York and you can be a brotherhood from the start and start with power armor and the brotherhood will be in the Statue of Liberty and the Enclave will be in the Empire State Building and you'll fight to take over New York from the evil Enclaves."

Bilal posted:Yeah, that was me. I go a little further into my reasons in the second comment I made below. Look at the character concepts I mentioned I played in NV, and my experience with how each character "roleplayed" the same save what they were wearing. Using single shot weapons like revolvers and carbines is a different play style as much as using machine guns or sniper rifles or explosives. You're really oversimplifying by saying that people who liked the "cowboy" style only did so because they like playing virtual dress-up.

Bilal posted:And this wraps around to my original concern about character progression in RPGs. Should a player who wants to use a low tier weapon, like the 9mm pistol, through the entire game have the chance to get the same DPS/combat effectiveness as a character who switches to more powerful weapons when they become available? In my opinion, character progression is a crucial part of an RPG, and there's no equipment progression if you use the same weapon from beginning to end. I don't understand why you're trying to argue against something that doesn't exist in the game. You DON'T use just one gun in the cowboy archetype. You work your way up to the ranger sequoia and the brush gun. Please explain to me what point you're trying to make here.

Captain Walker posted:Also, the Legion and NCR have grand sweeping ambitions for the rest of America. House doesn't. His ending is basically "get off my lawn, whippersnappers" and if he gets the Mojave he seems content to turn it into his personal playground, where freedom isn't free but safety and peace are only 2,000 caps. He has no illusions that his philosophy will work anywhere but Vegas. But the NCR seems to think they can bring democracy to Arizona, and if the Legion isn't stopped they'll try and conquer California. House believes the best hope for stability is keeping both factions as far away from each other, and himself, as possible. Didn't rope kid say Yes Man doesn't turn on you?

Besides, I thought that was one of the better quests in Fallout 3. It's two people, not an entire colony, and chimeric animals have existed in Fallout since FO1. Blade Runner replicants, though? Whole different bag.

Giggily posted:I really wish I wasn't approaching it from a roleplaying standpoint, but for some reason I just can't really metagame in New Vegas like I can in Bethesda games. Somewhere in the back of my mind I always feel like a dirty cheater for bringing in foreknowledge, and to a lesser extent just going and doing something because I know it'll give me a good reward. At the same time whenever I play Morrowind I usually have a full suit of Ordinator armor and Daedric weapons. Bethesda games are, at heart, more about sandbox than characters. I think that's the main difference.

zacd posted:So I just started this game like an hour ago, defended Goodsprings, and was headed out to Primm when a giant scorpion ran into town and killed Trudy (saloon owner). Will this screw anything up? I'm guessing not but just want to make sure before I go farther... You are honestly not railroaded into much in this game. You can lock yourself out of some quests and paths through the game through your actions, but there's nothing where you can make yourself completely unable to get to the ending.

Caps as money kind of makes sense in the New Vegas setting, since they're backed by water merchants. They make no sense in FO3 but that's normal. In Van Buren, they were using chips as currency. Maybe that was the idea?

I think that the Wild Card path backed by House's securitron army is the best outcome because it's you, and you know what you're in it for. But excluding that, I've always felt that assassinating Colonel Moore at the Battle of Hoover Dam would put NCR on a better path. Maybe if you could also convince Hsu to step up and accept the promotion.
