chaosapiant posted:I think Fallout 3 and 4 are both on par with each other. They both do things better and worse than the other game. And both worse than New Vegas by a wide margin. Fallout 3 will always have a more special place in my heart because of Stealing Independence, the best quest in any Fallout game not named New Vegas. "Give my regards to Sally" is probably the best single line Bethesda's ever written.

Tenzarin posted:They should have had deacon be shaun and have the father thing be a red herring. I forget its name, but there was a game where you play a prisoner convicted of murder, and at the end it turns out that you're innocent or guilty depending on if you helped people or were a psychopath. What I'm getting at is, what if the identity of your son was dependent on your karma and faction choice? Negative karma = endgame confrontation where your son is in the faction opposing yours, good karma = turns out your questgiver was your son all along!

Azhais posted:Do the minutemen have to take over sanctuary? Can you just leave them in the museum forever? They don't, but you'll never get Codsworth as a companion and as far as I'm concerned Automatron mostly exists to make him a combat-ready death-tank while still enjoying his lovable quips  You can also turn Sanctuary into a raider outpost, but as far as I can tell its kinda complicated. You have to rescue Preston -> become the Minutemen general -> complete the settlement tutorial Sanctuary quest -> move any essential NPCs (Preston/Codsworth/Sturges) -> make Mama Murphy OD -> (I think) kill Jun and Marcy Long -> make sure none of the generic settlers staying there gave you a radiant quest. Not really worth it just to poo poo that hard on Preston's dream of a better life, especially when you can just send him to some hellhole like that mirelurk construction site settlement and call it a day.

That's why you built up sanctuary for the minutemen. Then you take over any other town for your own. It doesn't help like half of the minutemen don't even do work at the town.

Marcy, Jun, Sturges and Murphy are the worst NPCs in the game because regardless of what you assign them to do, they will always go wandering off to hammer on a wall somewhere or hog the crafting benches and then complain at you with the same three lines.

Another must have mod the is the one that removes the cap for food, water, and salvage per day. If there's more food than the people or if they already have enough, they don't harvest. If there's water already there they won't add the next days water in the storage. If there's almost any kind of scrap in the bench they wont collect their 1 piece of scrap per day. It's also the reason it seems the salvage tables look like they are bugged. I'm sure they put the caps there because they knew 16 towns would turn you into a fallout millionaire. But the thing is people already do this but have to dance around this lame cap they placed. It also lets you passively build your towns up. It also shines a huge spot light that everyone in Boston but the kid in diamond city is a moron that can't rebuild society. Ok I guess there's few settlements actually are building too, that arn't morons. Tenzarin fucked around with this message at 04:47 on Jun 6, 2018 |

I approve of your new found Benny way to murder Benny, although the best way to kill him remains the Black Widow way. Have you also played the Far Harbor DLC? Because even if you got tried of Fallout 4 because of the main plot-line sucks that one is worth going back to check out. It's surprisingly well written. I also recommend Nukaworld, although opinions on that one are more mixed (just like the smooth taste of Nuka-Love). If you have already played Far Harbor/Nukaworld then, welp, nothing to do but sit back and pray to whatever higher power you believe in that whatever Fallout 76 is turns out to be good.

Got FO3 started up. Same goal: big guns character. Gonna run around with a minigun and murder nerds at some point. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/xbox360/939933-fallout-3/answers/31643-how-to-build-a-big-guns-character This sound? quote:If you feel a little chessey, any character can be a big guns character. You can get an unlimited number of Big Guns books from a raider in the Bethesda Offices East. Simply clear the place out (and get the book), go outside and wait 73 hours, and hop back in. Do it as often as you like (without the Comprehension perk, you only need to do it 39 times to max Big Guns without spending any skill points) for a +1 (or 2) to Big Guns each time. There are 24 other books. e: I also don't want to do that thing where you hit level 30, get all 9s, then go get the bobbleheads for perfect 10s in special. I'm just looking to have a decent playthrough and then go to NV. Viva Miriya fucked around with this message at 14:51 on Jun 6, 2018 |

Not necessarily Fallout-related (well, not *just* Fallout-related anyway), but Noclip has published the first part of their two-part documentary on Bethesda, which covers their history: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKn9yiLVlMM The second part will be a deep dive on the development of Fallout 76 and will come out after the gameplay reveal at Bethesda's E3 showcase. A lot of stuff from that documentary I kind of already knew from various articles on the history of the company, but there's still a lot of interesting insight.

Strong is possibly the worst fallout companion ever and I’d be happy to gib my son with a railway gun. To be fair I never played fallout 1 or 2 but I’m confident he’s worse than the most generic companion there.

I appreciated Strong in theory. After three games where every super mutant companion is a well-spoken intellectual it was kinda refreshing to tear around with the standard big dumb cannibalistic variety. Making him lose approval for almost every standard conversation or action you do was not a great design decision, though!

Yeah that and he despises a lot of perfectly normal game actions. It makes sense for characters to dislike stealing or picking owned locks but Strong hates all lock picking. That is an unimaginably stupid game design decision. I can understand if he gets made if you're nice to people but his list of dislikes is just plain stupid.

mental illness doesn't detract from the range of tabitha's vocabulary. also, strong hating everything... if one can ever really discern the mud that is bethesda's narrative... are actions he's too stupid to understand. it's not interesting or fun and doesn't make for a good companion, but it's true to the whole 'stupid thing, smashy-smashy' shtick super mutants are about. except in strong's case, there's some jag-off vault dweller who keeps insisting this poo poo is really important and needs to be done, keeping him from smashing said stupid thing.

just finished up fallout 4's campaign for the second time, really enjoyed far harbor and wishlisted nukaworld to remind myself to pick it up during the summer sale. think i'm gonna decompress with wolfenstein: the old blood and then finally go and play through new vegas all the way. after watching many a true nerd's defense of fallout 3, i'm not sure i'll enjoy it all that much, that video really reminded me why i loved 3 and could never really get into new vegas. but i'ma give it another shot anyhow!~

Going through Lily's personal half-quest was pretty uncomfortable to me and the ending card about her outcome made me sad too  . But I guess its safe to assume her children and grandchildren have been dead for a long time anyways.Also I just finished Nick Valentine's quest and the resolution was pretty good. It was probably the only thing in the game that had an effect on me, maybe second to ironsides. Can I mention for the fourth time how disappointed I am that Captain Ironsides didnt get his own DLC? That was a ton of fun and I had more attachment to him and his ship than MY BABY

Imo Lily's "ideal" ending is bittersweet; she forgets her dead grandchildren, but now the wasteland has a mentally stable immortal superstrong grandma kindly helping youngsters  plus they give you a status-quo ending if you dont want to take that leap; if you tell her to keep half-dosing she remains as-is.If Obsidian ever gets another shot at Fallout, I really hope we get to see Lily and Tabitha again.
