Thanks for the new thread without ghosts, but another settlement needs your help.

What's the most underrated settlement? There's maybe half a dozen that everyone uses for various reasons, but what about the more uncommon ones?

Murkwater Construction Site is a good place to send people you hate.

On the other hand, you can make Codsworth into Metal Gear AND have your French synth waifu. It's a win-win.

Inferior to French Metal Gear.

One ridiculously tiny tweak that I would have personally found satisfying:

Include a few terminal notes etc about Vault 111 including subliminal learning experiments. Having spent over two centuries in the pod you have absorbed an entire library-of-congress worth of civil engineering courses and journals. That's why you can build anything, from anything. And hence why you're rebuilding the infrastructure of the commonwealth so easily when nobody else could.

I think the games will still be individually judged on their merits, but every time you grab a potion off a shelf, pay 30 Ebony to reset your potion cooldown, and get murdered by a flying wheel of cheese, you'll obviously blame the lovely engine.

This would work better with private servers. as a single-player game.

Chop out all the online crap and I might buy it for $10.

Starfield will sell well because it will be the only space RPG on offer now that Mass Effect is dead

The Outer Worlds will be 400% better than Starfield.

It won't sell as well though.

why are all the skins more expensive

With few players, they need to skin the whales for all they're worth to even come close to income predictions. If the game had a large player base they could go for a 'cheap, high-volume' model, but that's not an option.

The president in Fallout 2 said "we barely got our birds up in time", but there's no particular reason he'd know the truth.

I think the big draw was that you didn't have to pay for the game.

When I was a teenager this was the case.
As an adult I started to buy games, but on several occasions I cracked games I'd legitimately bought because they ran better/at all that way.

Banning people for using easily-discovered and replicated bugs is not how you do this. That's a bug; that's on you to fix.

That's not that uncommon (though usually you fix the bug first). What's Bethesda is that they're banning people who look like they probably used the bug, because they have no way to tell.

This question is more for any RPG that lets you pick your PC's gender, but since Fallout and Elder Scrolls seem to be the go-to games for people creating dead-eyed waifus, this spot is as good as any to ask. I was wondering what people's reasons are for choosing to play as female player characters?

Games that have a significant aspect of character customisation usually also have a significant Pretty Princess Dress-Up element, and women's clothing and hairstyles are usually more numerous and more varied. Plus I find the female form itself more aesthetically pleasing than the male one, but that's a taste issue.

I love trash and I love pipboy


He gazed up at the enormous face. Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark moustache. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Pipboy.

I've had similar experiences in remote regions of South America. It really is amazing what the sky looks like when you get away from all the light pollution.

On the topic of 76, any updates on those bag replacements? It has been radio silence since Bethesda let people request replacements but just ended up doxxing people.

I assume it just got forgotten once the promise made the media move on. Why spend money now?

is that a loving joke? edit: loving why. At least individual pieces of equipment have a few different values to track. An integer value is the same size either way.

Is it a hardcap, or do they just ban you if you have over 25K caps (you must have been cheating).

Is there any reason I shouldn't wander into someone else's CAMP, pick some crops, cook them on their stove, do some crafting, then wander out again?

What's the most efficient way to get rid of the radiation all this eating and drinking gives me? Do I just have to hope for looting radaway?

As a melee weapons user now and planning on heavy weapons later which SPECIAL stats should I prioritise?

Switched to a pump-action shotgun for right now, seems to work better.
I eat and drink to heal, in order to save stimpaks.
My current strategy is to grab everything, since nothing sells for more than 3-4 caps and a flower or lump of dog meat still sells for 1 cap, so I vendor worthless crap in large quantities to make cash.
