Vermain posted:Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but my impression was that this was intentional. If there's something New Vegas is good at doing, it's subverting your expectations: the freedom-loving democracy of the NCR is largely composed of a bunch of warmongering shitheads; the mysterious and powerful Caesar is nothing more than an intelligent, aged thug who's apparently from post-apocalyptic Brooklyn; and so on. I thought it was frankly brilliant that this character, spoken of in only hushed tones, whose very memory is erased from the annals of the Legion, is nothing more than an ordinary, albeit mummified, man. Yeah but then you have the legate who was actually more than what I was expecting,I was rather disappointed when the biggest baddest legate was an average joe wearing a mummy mask.

I'm honestly looking forward to Bethesda's Fallout 4 after how much better Skyrim was to Oblivion. Sure the story will suck but they got that world building where I can find corpses with valuable poo poo on them that tells a story. Something that New vegas was missing in my opinion.

If Bethesda would just hire writers not influenced by the black-white school of thought (and better coders) they would make my perfect game,or maybe Obsidian gets bethesda's world builders,whichever comes first. redmercer posted:Presumably his next move after Boulder Dam is a great push to Oakland Man Whore fucked around with this message at 05:21 on Jan 10, 2012 |

Cream-of-Plenty posted:Fo3 had a loading image depicting a girl with her robotic horse. Knowing Bethesda, I'm really surprised that we didn't get some sort of robotic horse in Fo3. You could get around Gamebryo's terrible cell transitions by limiting it to 12-15 mph (like the Oblivion horse) and it would totally make sense. When a game journalist theorized that fallout 3 would have a robot horse due to that screen,a certain website of sperges literally called Bethesda hitlers and kept making robot horse jokes even after release. Adding robo-horses would probably have been more trouble than it was worth.

Meaty Ore posted:I never got any of the DLC for Fallout 3. I had been through the game several times, thinking it was pretty neat. Then I found out what Bethesda did to Harold. You mean the best moral decision in the game? While Fallout 3 was not the best game I completely accept what happened to Harold because it gave me an interesting location.

Harold was a big mean jerk just because I asked questions to confirm the obvious in Fallout 1. I'm sorry but you people have rose colored ghoul glasses.

rope kid posted:That experience in no way matches anything I experienced in the first few levels of Fallout 1 or 2. I agree for 1 but I'd always get shredded by an NCR burst when I got that random encounter where they are fighting bandits. Why do you hate me NCR? I helped you win the Mojave in the future.  EDIT-But a burst isn't a rock I guess. also there is that house in the Hub where a guy has an auto-shotgun in 1. There is a good chance he will shred you.

That actually happened to me on PS3. Buying more than one of those "break-down" items would crash my game and buying only one would make the rest disappear. It doesn't happen to me anymore now that I'm on the PC.

Saoshyant posted:Gamebryo, Gamebryo never changes. Yeah, it never does. This is a bug found right at the very launch that was supposedly fixed in one of the patches, something about bad geometry not placing elements in their right place at all times and those had to be fixed one by one, manually. Are you running unpatched or is it still something that happens today? I'm all patched,Unless steam didn't do it automatically for some reason.

Count Chocula posted:The Enclave didn't DO anything evil in FO3, though. Super mutants killed and enslaved people. Slavers enslaved people. Ghouls were a mixture of good and bad. But playing through the quest normally all the Enclave did was pump sub-Fox News propaganda and Sousa marches. I hated them because the game told me to, but I didn't see them do anything bad. EDIT-of course they have enclave inside them which I should probably add. Count Chocula posted:Maybe because I've been reading the Roman History thread in Ask/Tell, which made me really like the Romans. For anyone doubting the realism of Ceaser's Legion, read these posts from a guy who thinks we're not enough like ancient Rome now: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3486446&userid=183787 wow,this guy is literally arguing that we have regressed from the time of Hellenistic culture because society operates differently.

NCR money used to be precious metal backed until the BoS destroyed their reserves though. The reason their currency kinda sucks in New Vegas is because they are backing it with water.

Excelzior posted:I can agree all of the DLCs revolve around this theme, yes, but how do you figure New Vegas itself does? You track down the man who tried to murder you, then work for one of the factions who can't get over the past in various ways and irrevocably end up at the second Battle of Hoover Dam. New vegas proper is about the futility of trying to escape the past.
