Michaellaneous posted:Well yes I realize that. Well, the NCR kicked their asses and they went into hiding. That was part of the plot for Van Buren that came back in NV. The eastern Brotherhood was a splinter group that doesn't make a whole lot of sense or have any connection to the originals in the west. And then there were the outcasts who acted like the actual Brotherhood. 3 had a couple references to the midwest splinter from Tactics but those were probably just easter eggs.

Yeah, they did a much better job with that in 4. Plenty to nitpick but a huge improvement over 3.

I think 3 is the worst Fallout game, but it's still okay. There aren't any truly bad ones (the console BoS game didn't exist don't talk to me about it).

Berke Negri posted:i think this is likely the influence of mad max (Which isnt really a touchstone so much in fallout anymore, 3s probably the last one) on the interplay games There's some book that the tribal concept is based on, this post is useless since I can't find it but it's a hypothesis from out of Fallout, about how groups of people would adapt after the collapse of civilization.

I wonder if there is anyone who did not have to reload after shooting Follows-Chalk right in the face. Having a vital character shoot at you during the initial ambush was not the best move there.

Garrand posted:Does Follows-Chalk actually shoot? I was basically doing the same thing by picking off the White Legs but then one more guy appears in the distance so I just shot him too. I don't actually remember him shooting at me, he just appeared at the wrong place and time. Not sure if he shoots or someone next to him does, but either way, there's a gunshot from that direction and I blow his head off every time, then have to reload.

Internet Wizard posted:The Mojave and most of Nevada are extremely sparse and barren even in the best conditions. If anything the game is too optimistic about how many people could farm there. Las Vegas’s existence is more a testament to hubris than it is a natural population center. It is, but Hoover Dam/Lake Mead would legit be valuable if intact so I bought the premise.

I could have sworn they were just drugs and they renamed them to chems with 3 so they could sell the game in Australia or something though “chem” does also sound more scifi They were always chems. The Australia thing was Fallout 3 had to change morphine to med-x.

I would be very stoked about Obsidian getting to do another west coast game. Not going to hold my breath but also it doesn't seem that surprising that people would be discussing it. Planning to make it is a whole other thing but I would expect people at Microsoft are going through all the games/IPs they own now and having discussions about what to do with it.

Yeah if they made another game I would not expect it to actually be in New Vegas but just part four of the west coast Fallout story.

The NCR push into Baja is an obvious option, though that might risk replaying too many of the Vegas themes. Could continue going up north, Fallout 2 only got a bit into Oregon. Arizona after Caesar dies and the Legion collapses could be interesting too.

The Davy Crockett's biggest problem was range. If it were fired at the low end of its range, the crew would be within the radius for the fatal radiation dose. Also the inaccuracy of it meant you could accidentally end up inside that range even if firing at a safe distance. Whoops! Of course, it was designed to be lobbed at oncoming Soviet troops in a WW3 scenario, so the crew probably wouldn't be around long enough to find out about their radiation poisoning anyway.

There was previous talk about this being the first time Los Angeles would appear in Fallout, which hopefully was just an uninformed article writer. Mostly I'm just disappointed the Brotherhood is in it. I used to love them but after Bethesda I do not want to see them anymore. That well is dry. Do something new, please.

Yeah this is taking place inside NCR territory so I'm curious what they're doing with that. We've seen a NCR flag and I think there was a building with a NCR sign on it.

At least it looks good. Wish it were closer to the original game's style than the Bethesda visuals but I knew that wasn't going to happen. And prominent Walton Goggins means it should at least be watchable.

I think that's just an easter egg. If they stuck to the source material (admittedly, big if) Shady Sands is nowhere near a major city that would form that kind of backdrop. It's far from LA, which seems to be where most/all the show is taking place.

# ¿ Mar 7, 2024 18:50 |

The Fallout 1 map also doesn't entirely make sense with the later games, admittedly. Like Necropolis is supposed to be Bakersfield but it's in the completely wrong spot. Shady Sands should be just a bit into Nevada, northwest of Pahrump. Vault 15 is almost directly north of Vegas, which is on the map but not as a real location. Vault 13 is Mt Whitney. Vegas is that unmarked urban area on the east edge. Raiders should be Pahrump-ish. Shady Sands would be somewhere a bit west of Armagosa Valley, which is just completely empty desert.

IIRC if you go to Vegas (or the other unmarked cities) you also get urban random maps instead of the usual.

Eh. Lot of people came in at 3 and then played the originals. My first Fallout was Tactics, then I found 1 and 2 at some mall used game store and understood why people bitched about Tactics (though they are mostly wrong and Tactics owns). 3 is the worst Fallout game I have played but it's not bad. It's just kinda lame. 2 > New Vegas > 1 > Tactics > 4 > 3 if anyone cares, which you shouldn't. I also don't have a strong opinion on the top half of the list, could talk me into reshuffling those three. Grand Fromage fucked around with this message at 23:10 on Mar 7, 2024 |

Far Harbor was pretty good. Bethesda only seems to be willing to take a chance and do anything interesting post-Morrowind with their DLC. The main games are bland but usually get one piece of DLC that show the company isn't completely devoid of ideas and talent, they're just choosing not to use it.

Tactics has that bug, I wasn't sure if Fallout 2 does. It decides when to drop a random encounter based on I believe framerate, so on a modern computer that's running the game at like 600 FPS you just get endlessly hit with them. Need a fan patch to fix it.
