Dunno about Fallout 4 but Fallout Shelter is pretty decent. I like it so far.

Make sure you also have residential rooms. New guys don't show up to the door very much unless you have a radio to call them over every couple of hours.

They had that big base in Fallout 3 and were prepping to take over territory in Fallout 2; they already had the Navarro base on the continent. But basically they were overly concerened with mutation and were convinced they were the only real humans left so they were even more isolationist than the Brotherhood, so territory-grabbing took a backseat to "keep the United States, all one of them, pure"

The Institute being a major player as was hinted in Fallout 3 might be pretty cool. I am all up for entirely new factions that aren't riffs on old ones appearing.

Yeah, I think that's kind of the point of the Enclave. They're remnants of something much bigger than they are, convinced they're still just as big as they used to be. If they're pathetic it's intentional. But they're not so pathetic that they can't totally ruin your day with pristine pre-War tech.

Haha. In Fallout Shelter I had to restart because my last vault had a bug that kept crashing it. So in the new Vault I get a Lunchbox early and who pops out of it but James, the hero's father from Fallout 3. He's Level 33 and good at everything.

If food ever becomes a thing in Fallout 4 I hope they bring back the Them's Good Eatin' perk. I loved that thing. Blow up enemies, get food off their bodies.

The new 10mm pistol looks like a pre-modded That Gun. At the least, it looks pretty nifty. This game is going to make me go crazy in a good way.

I'm still curious about the ability to set up caravans between your mini-towns and turrets and other stuff you can make. This is something you don't see in a lot of games period, much less a sprawling RPG like Fallout. Even if you can only build in designated areas it's going to be pretty interesting.

Am I allowed to say that I just liked the setting of Morrowind at least? It skewed pretty far from Generic European Fantasy World with its architecture, alien wildlife and so on.

One thing that was NOT BS about Morrowind was that completing the main story quest caused an entire class of enemies around the world to die. I liked that.

Pwnstar posted:This owns. I like Elijah trashing the PipBoy in Dead Money too. Taking the piss out of the conventions of your own medium is pretty important. Elijah calling your PipBoy a leash that tells you what to do and where to go was a great attack on the necessary evil of objective markers in giant open worlds. I loved it.

Huh, looks like the first perk for INT-1 is objective markers. I wonder what the benefits of pacifying enemies will be. Maybe nonlethal solutions to situations where assholes decide to try to fight you anyway? Hmm.

Animal Friend in NV was great for getting so many annoying enemies off your back, though. There was an entire level of Old World Blues you could walk through because Animal Friend made nightstalkers not attack you.

GuyUpNorth posted:Or it's really that Midwestern chapter. I haven't touched Tactics ever, what kind of assholes are they compared to Hardin of Mojave chapter? Depends on whether or not General Barnaky is in charge of them. If you choose the ending where he becomes the new comptroller brain of Vault Zero, he ushers in a horrible era of oppression against tribals, genetic deviants and anything else that doesn't match his definition of perfection.

Yeah. The Brotherhood were a product of the times that formed them. When they started out they were a bunch of military guys holding onto a huge stockpile of lasers and plasma weapons, the kind of thing you do NOT want bandits to get ahold of, and so their boss handed down commandments that they were never, ever, EVER supposed to share them and should police up any other dangerous tech they knew of. When they started out the world was exclusively full of mowhawked maniacs and themselves, but as time passed, the rest of the world started actually rebuilding, making their mission obsolete. So now a lot of them are just plain assholes who are just justifying keeping all the shineys to themselves.

Obsidion gets a lot of credit from me for turning Nevada into a sandbox of adventure with story-continuity between the settlements. "Shandification," as they call it, where the setting IS the story. Not to say that Bethesda can't do Shandification themselves, it just depends on who's running the project. Morrowind was pretty Shandified.

Plan Z posted:Yeah, you always get the vibe from the games and media that it was happy-go-lucky, but if you look at timelines, there was some pretty heavy poo poo going on, even at home. Adding some weight to the pre-war situation will be interesting. Old World Blues is on the surface humorous and funny but there is some seriously disturbing poo poo going on in the background if you look hard enough. There's an internment camp there with explosive collars!

Nasgate posted:Who? I have never tried killing everyone. The two immortal characters are Yes Man, who just transfers to a new robot body, and the Protectron running the Gun Runner weapon vendor stall. Everyone else can be killed at a certain point. House is seemingly indestructible but you can find his hiding place and take him out once you have access to him. Caesar lives in a fortified military camp but you can blow him away the moment you meet him, or at a time of your choosing. The president? Nothing stopping you from deliberately flubbing preventing his assassination. Or carrying it out yourself, depending on who you work for. Most of the rest of the game's story adapts to this. If you just kill everyone important you default to the Yes Man ending where he sets you up as ruler by default.

CHA having perks for going solo is interesting. I kinda like it, actually, gives you tactical flexibility. More friends, more benefits, no friends, different benefits? If this game takes at least ONE page from New Vegas I hope it's Companion Perks and their Loyalty Quests. Here's hoping.

Fallout 3 had great setpieces and good visual impact when you hit the wasteland. I also remember there was one room that was basically, "Hey, guys, we made a physics engine!" with a Rube Goldberg booby trap in it. I kinda liked that.

According to the wiki, the four perks of Lady Killer/Man Hunter give you a bonus to persuasion at one level, intimidation at the second level, and deception at the third.

Survival is by no means a necessary skill in New Vegas but dammit I love some of its perks. Especially Them's Good Eatin'. Why, yes, I do like getting healing items off of almost everything I destroy! (Though it's weird that its healing items do not, as the name implies, count as food for Hardcore purposes...)

Rad Child regenerated the damage on your limbs and maybe your health, and Atomic! made you faster while in radiated areas, but radiation sickness could kill debuff and kill you. If this perk makes you totally immune to the downsides of radiation, however...
