why boston? DC was the capitol and had historic landmarks. vegas was cool cause of the elvis crew and the mr house story. there is nothing interesting or likeable about boston.

Moridin920 posted:It's possible and that's definitely something to talk about when the game is released if it isn't there but as of now I'm just assuming it is. Why would it be in Fallout 4? NV was made by Obsidian. It's never been a perk in any of the Bethesda games. I think it's safter to assume it's NOT going to be in the game. Also there's no relationship mechanic in any of the Fallout games and I can still bang a dude and a dude robot without the confirmed bachelor perk so it's pretty meaningless. e- It's meaningless if you're using it in a sexual identity kinda way.

Anime Schoolgirl posted:this is not a promising trend for bethesda games to take, though. even if there was a plot twist that invalidates that history, it'd require a spoiler to clear up what your history is, and some people just don't like spoilers. Yeah, but Bethesda can make whatever game they want to. It's not like Mass Effect where there's a relationship mechanic that is part of the core gameplay and influences a ton of other stuff in the game. Player sexual identity has never been a part of the Fallout games beyond having sex with prostitutes or being fisted (or fist?) a robot named Fisto. And given F4 is the first game where they're explicitly giving the player a backstory including marriage, I don't see the point in adding the option to be gay. It would have made more sense to have it in the previous games where you play more of a clean slate character, but there's already a backstory in this, so getting all riled up like that person did a few pages back is kinda pointless.

Eiba posted:Orientation was a thing in New Vegas. You had two gay companions, and if you chose the perk to be gay there were a handful of really interesting dialog options that would become available that fleshed out the world in a really interesting way. The different factions had different thoughts on homosexuality, and different characters had views too. You can still bang dudes without the perk if you were a guy. The perk didn't make you gay, it gave you some additional dialogue choices with both sexes, but that's about it. NV handled the gay NPC really well, but sexual orientation was nowhere near a focus of the game as it is with other series. So asking F4 to have a gay option where none of the other Bethesda Fallout games had it, and we're given protagonist with a backstory, is kind of pointless and would make it feel forced rather than natural. Also Obsidian made NV, so we can't really assume that F4 will carry over much, if anything, from it.

Rutibex posted:Being an RPG means making your own character. A story based game with a pre-set protagonist is an Adventure Game. Most rpgs since the beginning of video games have you progress through a narrative as a set character. You're "role playing" as the character. The whole clean slate build your own character thing is kinda new. Even the previous fallout games gave you some motivation and back story.

Rutibex posted:In Planescape Torment your character is a blank slate of a sort, you can choose to re-integrate your old life and personality or develop into someone new. No you're literally role playing the character in their world and making decisions in the game world, player created or not. That's where the term RPG comes from.

It's dumb to use New Vegas in this argument because; 1. You can have sex with either sexes plus a robot. 2. It's never mentioned whether you're gay or straight or just like loving robots. You decide. There's nothing in the game that forces you either way, and that's not the same as choosing in the game to be gay or straight. 3. Bethesda did not make NV, so we can't expect anything from it to make it into F4. It would be understandable if people complained about taking out the gay choices in whatever upcoming Mass Effect game since it was an already established gameplay mechanic. But to complain about not having the option in a game where you have an established backstory is pointless. The character creation is completely physical, and has no bearing on the sexual preference of the character and to ask a developer to spend time and money coding it into a game where they have a story and narrative direction that does not fit with what they planned is dumb. I've been following The Witcher 3 thread and no one is asking why Geralt can't be in a gay relationship. Cause he's a character with a back story. Same in Fallout 4. You're a character in a heterosexual marriage and have a child. Putting in a choice to be gay would seem kind of forced.

Mendrian posted:Who cares, it's a special mode for people who want to be stuck with their choices anyway. Dark Souls does it and it's fine. People caring way to much about saves itt when you can play the game however you want. If people wanna reload 35 times, fine. If they dont, fine. It doesn't affect you in any way whatsoever. Also I want the ability to become a prostitute in the game. It'll be a good gimmick. "gently caress a pre-war person!" The player would make so much bank.

Baron Bifford posted:Is a mini-nuke actually possible in real life? I read somewhere that nuclear weapons need a minimum amount of nuclear material called "critical mass" for them to explode at all, and thus have a minimum amount of explosive power. Yes but they were never used in combat. Most of the damage from nukes comes from the immense heat and force generated by the blast. The explosion itself doesn't do nearly as much damage.

The minutemen are the only real good guys cause they just wanna help people. The other factions have their own agendas and will indiscriminately kill people who get in their way. The minutemen are also the most boring faction. I wish you can turn your settlements into raider camps and be king of the Raiders.
