Indeed the whole complaining about sexy robots is pointless as the assaulttrons are clearly made to be fanporn bait like the X-com 2 vipers from the very beginning :v:

The titty robot doesn't have a working vagina with 19 sex animations and a happiness meter that can only be replenished with rape, it's downright feminist 'round these parts.

LOL You poor bastard. There's more than one White Demetrius. There's also more than one White Maru. (Though I think some of them are on the Stardew forums and not the Nexus) But I love this guy because he doesn't like the other White Demetrius mod on the Nexus. He says, and I quote:

It's full-on something you'd find in Metal Hurlant, especially with the 40K add-on stuff. Jean-Michel Nicollet's black steel domme fembots are such a trope that I used the French name for Heavy Metal to make a point.

I've never forgotten the wisdom of my seventh grade history teacher. Almost every invention in human history was made for one of three purposes: to make money off of it, to kill people with it, or to have sex with it.

This is demonstrably false. Some of them were made for two, or even all three purposes!

Yeah, Fallout is all about being minimal and practical. :rolleyes:

I mean seriously the first assaultron you will probably meet has the "Surly dame" voice, and says verbatim, "I'm a woooomaaan baby, can't you tell?" When you meet it and ask what kind of robot it is. It's a dumb, impractical mod, but so is the base game.

T51b Power Armor: Infantry armor solution developed by the US government. Features include integrated energy pack, urine recycling system for ease of wear and bulletproof glass on the eye slits to protect soldiers. It's intended use is to provide a single unit solution to tank battalions in the impending (ongoing?) China vs. US war. Power armor was deployed in the US in order to provide crowd control during the pre-war riots and quarantine procedures for the new plague due to it's capacity to protect wearers from the elements.

Fat Man: Weapon developed and deployed in the capital wasteland to test its effectiveness in urban environments. Intended use is to have a high powered elite bombarding device.

FEV: Originally developed as a pan-immunization virus, further tests proved the potential in the creation of super soldiers. This lead to the development of the Forced Evolutionary Virus in Mariposa base, which was continued in an underground vault in the capital wasteland after the great war (not sure which number. It's the GECK one)

Tesla Cannon: Energy based anti-tank weaponry. Despite it's power, it is still as lightweight as a regular laser rifle (or a tribeam one, not sure).

Titty bot: Robot with tits and a giant on skull on the back. No one can explain why.

There's a difference between impracticality through uselessness (titty bot) and impracticality through overkill (fallout). gently caress, the latter is the whole point of vaults.

Tesla Cannon: When you want to cast "magic missile" but it's a post-apocalyptic Mad Max cowboy game

Titty bot: Originally designed as a lithe, efficient infantry and infiltration unit, later models were made more feminine in appearance when it was noted enemy combatants were more likely to hesitate to fire at female silhouettes. As time wore on this model became increasingly more stylized to act as mascots, leading engineers to take great pride in customizing them, increasing overall morale and decreasing the usual misgivings about working with robotic infantry.

my dude, your post is silly and your posture is needlessly defensive. the gothic skulls and blades look isnt bad in and of itself but it doesnt mesh with the rest of fallout as far as im aware of the franchise so its kind of out of place. if it were part of a package of things like it, itd be less weird. maybe that package could include an origin explaining why those things exist, like a wasteland subculture descended from 40k nerds (unrealistic, i know, but theoretically capable of human reproduction)

In fairness I think the tittybots look dumb, but seriously you can't say anything about Fallout makes any drat sense and whining about why THIS thing is totally fine but THIS OTHER THING is going too far is really dumb.

Like, it's all dumb. Just say tittybot looks bad. Don't write an academic thesis.

moderately annoying

The titty robot doesn't fit because Fallout is based on the aesthetics of golden age sci-fi, and I don't recall any instances of creepy sex robots with skulls bolted onto them. On the other hand, I remember several stories dealing with invisible space vampires, but those aren't in Fallout for whatever reason.

I played NV through awhile back with WARZONES ( http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/40980/ ) and there was an area kind of south of the Sunset Sarsaparilla plant that would have aliens and raiders fighting all the time, and sometimes in that battle I'd see big Buttercups running around killing poo poo too.

Pretty sure it was from that mod anyway. That or AWOP maybe.

:allears: Thank you. I should definitely keep the former in mind whenever I get around to replaying Fo4 and taking a look at the various DLCs. Now if only I could find something that puts a proper dot sight onto pipe guns without it also being some kind of exhaustive to the modders taste overhaul. Most of the pipe guns are poo poo, but the .45 pipe revolvers were actually quite nice, more so when you were not just becoming a water baron and buying up every box of magnum ammo in the wasteland/too low level for magnums to spawn.
