Looks like they're going to fix the ammo converter:

I'll have a good laugh if this is animated using the Fallout 4/76 assets because there's no way in hell a live action anything can be filmed for the foreseeable future. Welcome to the world of tomorrow 2020, everyone.

The tv series is being made by the same folks that did Westworld and it has amazon money behind it. This could be good.

The Capitol is a specific building, Washington DC is the capital of the United States.

I tried to give it a go, but I only made it like 2.5 episodes in. The pacing is loving glacial and it treats the audience like morons. "Does an AI have a soul" or similar is done to hell and back in science fiction and they treat it like they thought of it for the first time.

It's 8 scrip, 100 caps, a fusion core and some other random poo poo every time you do that, mostly Rippers, Gatling Lasers or Assault Rifles.
It's also 1800-2600XP for me with Unyielding armor, Egg Headed, Building Group (+4 int), Lover's Embrace, Brain Fungus Soup and who knows what else boosting my Intelligence to 33 and +XP . If I could just find a Herbavore Serum I bet it could be 3000 XP per loop. Add in 1000XP from killing the 4x ghouls in VTU and that's at least 1/3 of the repeatable SCORE for 10000 XP!

I barely made it through season 1 and my biggest issue with the show is that it suffers hard from its association with J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof; every episode asks a dozen questions, the finale answers none of them but blows something up to distract you.

From what I've seen of S2 and 3, it pulls the same stunt again and again.

So... for Bethesda-style Fallout, they're perfect.

Westworld is based on a 1973 movie of the same name, Futureworld, and Beyond Westworld. I dont think they pushed the theme anymore than say I Robot or Bladerunner.

Im trying nuclear winter mode for the first time to get those dailies done, and it's actually pretty fun? If my team hangs together we seem to win about half the time, which is a lot better luck than I've had in any other battle royale. It's also a decent way to try out a wide variety of weapons.

Just wait until match 100 and you realize you are only at rank 4 and the best way to get exp is to get the breathe underwater card and do just that for entire matches.

Just went through Silo Alpha all the way to the point you activate the launch control robots and have to defend them, game crashes. Luckily was on a team so I can come back, only have to do the first biometric scan steps again then just kill all the robots again to get through the silo, no other steps needed whew. Enter my launch code, head down to the nuke site, 30 seconds left, people start showing up. Game crashes again, except this time I can't get back to my server no matter how many hops I try. gently caress you, you lovely game, gently caress you. :argh:

Oh thank you so much, I was unaware of this and now this is just going to be how this goes from now on. Fallout: So Broken You'll Need Glitches to Get Around Bigger Glitches. I crashed a ton yesterday for some reason, where normally the game has been fairly good about not screwing me as long as I don't alt-tab during a loading screen (the end of the loading screen is the real killer). I missed out on my own nuke, an Encryptid, a Line in the Sand, and a 3-star Scorchbeast due to crashes and my head just about exploded in rage.

This is my current character, level 36, with three different types of Power Armor cobbled together to make a suit. I love the rough look of patched-together equipment more than a perfectly coordinated and completed outfit. Anyone else enjoy the experience of levelling up more than end-game content? I always lose interest in a character shortly after level 50.

I did the silo in like 5 minutes (apart from waiting for those launch robots to get their poo poo together) last night thanks to you, so much appreciated. For some reason my silo was all like level 8-24 and not a single security robot spawned during the launch sequence so I just sat back and drank scotch like a boss.

They do that some times. I also love it when you get desynced from the server and it insta kills everything in a radius around you.

The ammo converter takes so little effort, it would be one thing if it was a high level item but it’s not. There is enough trash to talk about beth and the system but putting the converter there is basically an incentive to get engaged. No one is paying money to get it, play the game and you’d probably just stumble into it.
