as someone who suffers from social anxiety and loses the ability to hold a conversation when it properly kicks in, I sometimes wish real life had dialogue prompts like this

the weird thing is, with my best mates, it sort of does

one nice thing about nv is the thresholds, and that those checks aren’t random rolls just pass/fail

finally got to boone in my playthrough. i don’t really want to do repconn to move the main story marker ahead so i’ll just gently caress around for a while. i think there’s nothing stopping me from going to nv proper and running the tables to buy cyberware

i’ll try that, i do not remember particularly enjoying repconn as a sneak sniper first time around. trying to do things i missed on first playthrough rather than retreading old ground

sneaky sniper is often a bad time in tight corridors and small rooms yeah. if you’re more of a gunslinger this time it’ll be better. that mission is kinda annoying for any character though, lots of running around and fetching poo poo

it feels like once you’ve played it for one hour you’ve seen basically all of the hours, and i looked at reviews to see if that’s true and yeop

if you like the hour, power to you. not my thing. i’d rather try to make some more headway in metro exodus or else play new vegas while high as hell

if you only play for an hour you miss the plot getting really stupid


you also miss having to drive somewhere far for a mission only to discover the "mission" is a 20 second cutscene


it's repetitive and too long with a weak plot but i felt it did attempt some interesting things that didn't always entirely work out. i'm hoping there will be a sequel that tightens things up and improves them

it sold well enough for an exclusive so it might get one. also apparently it’s by the syphon filter studio wow there’s a blast from the past

i might have stuck with it if it had a strong plot but wasn’t going to happen given it’s a zombie/ghoul game

Why the gently caress does PAM only find coursers in god drat Nuka World? And could the fucksticks on Finch Farm maybe defend themselves?

I already beat the main plot (I think) and now I'm just trying to get as many cheevos as reasonable for my character BUTT MAN, while doing whatever missions might pop up, and it's still sort of fun. Can't wait for it all to be over though, so I can start up with a new character who'll side with another faction.

I haven't used ballistic fibre on anything, since BUTT MAN became the SILVER SHROUD long before that point, and is still the SILVER SHROUD. Sometimes if I feel like they need more protection they'll go pick up the flying tank suit. But the upgraded SILVER SHROUD is pretty drat tough as it is.

I've only been to Nuka World to kill loving coursers so I don't really know what to say about it, except that listening to Nuka Radio is impossible while exploring is a bad time.

i don’t think i messed around with silver shroud that much, i think that would work with teleport punch man well enough

ballistic fibre is nice in that at mk5 or w/e it makes most clothes almost as tough as the strongest poo poo available otherwise

It's great (to get) on rooftops when you have the jetpack. You can skip a lot of tedious elevatoring by just flying up and falling down.

But if you're going to be using the waterways, then, uggh.

on my completionist playthrough it’s kind of fun to just have like a dozen frames sitting around and all my friends in power armor picking corn like loving pie-faced idiots

other than that i’ve never really used it because: stealth sniper

i mean, yeah, but the power armor doesn’t really contribute to the stealth snipe either

i did use power armor all through far harbor as it felt more appropriate in most of that setting compared to like 25% of the main map

Except if you have power armour that gives you more action points or gives you stealth. You can do all sorts of poo poo with it.
