Rinkles posted:There'll be a "pacifist" toggle so you don't accidentally engage players. This is because the rules of PvP change if both players are willing—you take more damage if you accept or start a fight (which could be exploited by other players deliberately running into your line of fire, which would count as you starting the fight). This reminds me of something I was doing in GTA online when I started to lose interest but wasn't ready to quit yet, go into passive mode, get in the car, accelerate up to top speed then bail out. Your car will leave passive mode and collide with other players, loving up their car or running them over. People are always going to be assholes (myself included, admittedly), so there's only so much you can actually do to prevent it, but the only really effective way is recognizing that some people don't want to play with those assholes. I hope they eventually concede this wasn't the best idea instead of doubling down again and again.

I know it's because they recycled as many assets as they could from fallout 4, but it says something about how weak Bethesda's art direction is that an extra 200 years of decay does absolutely nothing to vehicles or buildings in the fallout world.

The only thing I remember about fallout 4's main quest is I had a glitch where my character and wife were white and the baby was black, and the first thing I saw in the living room was a pack of cigarettes, to which my character asked where they came from. Made it really hard to care about "HAVE YOU SEEN MY BABY?" Also fallout 3 looks like a greenish gray-brown soup with talking potatoes. That game aged horribly.

I thought just occurred to me. I wonder how long it will be until someone treats this as a resource pack and ports the map and creatures to fallout 4. At least gameplay would be "alright" as opposed to "utter poo poo."

Near as I could figure the Institute's (or at least Father's) goal was to gently caress with people. Nothing they did was of any real merit or purpose other than "eh, let's gently caress with folks for a bit." They pumped out the super mutants for no reason for years, made robo-gorillas because it sounds kinda cool, and made synths that are either so advanced that became self-aware, or were inherently flawed and became rebellious (depending on how you interpret the synths' sense of self). Instead of stopping production to figure out where they went right or wrong, they keep pumping them out and dedicate massive (dwindling) resources to trying to control their mistakes instead of starting over. The Institute is a collection of either the smartest idiots or the dumbest geniuses, and I'm not sure which is worse. Maybe the Institute made fallout 76.

Magmarashi posted:They are basically the boogiemen The Brotherhood has been afraid of and techno fascist about. They science for the sake of sciencing, with no real endgame beyond "well, we did it" and no real regard for anything outside of doing science. They'll burn the world down a second time just to compare how hot it burned this time to the last. That's a good way to put it. They work as antagonists, it just feels unfulfilling to join them outside of an "I want to be evil" playthrough. You don't really get the sense of them being the only light for the Commonwealth that they claim to be.

Geomancing posted:I saw some footage of mining sites and the creeks definitely had the lovely orange glow of acid mine drainage. I was asking someone who was playing how many coal mine dungeons there were because how could there not be monster-infested abandoned longwall coal mines? The state is riddled with them. I know it's Pennsylvania, not West Virginia, but I would love a Centralia dungeon. Crawling through a ghost town with cave openings all over the place, sinkholes, and random fires, then having to go underground and crawl through the burning tunnels would be awesome.

Atomic Robo-Kid posted:The beginning of the game has your character sleeping in late and missing their going away party. Balloons and confetti but not a single living human. That tone is the entire game. Just you wandering upon other dead people's leftovers. Even most holo tapes are just last wills and speeches before gunfire. Someone mentioned Borderlands a little while ago, and it got me thinking. On paper, Borderlands and Fallout 76 should be pretty similar. You (and optionally your friends) venture out into a husk of a world full of nightmarish creatures and blow poo poo up. Borderlands only had a small smattering of NPCs (the enemy psychos aren't much different from the scorched, ghouls and supermutants in gameplay terms), and they didn't do much; they weren't very different from the town bulletin boards. Quite often your interaction with NPCs was limited to just audio transmissions from a tape recorder you picked up on the ground. Most of the quests were "Read note/listen to recording, go here, kill X number of Y enemies, collect doohickey, return for reward." I know there's a lot different between the two games (especially gameplay- one's fun, the other is most charitably described as rough), but I think one of the biggest differences is the tone. In Borderlands, the planet is dying. In Fallout, it's already dead. It doesn't matter what you do, the party's already over.

I'm just glad they wasted their appalachian (mis)adventure in west virginia instead of NC. Asheville's name is perfect for an apocalypse, and there's a Black Mountain too for Tabitha to come back to the airwaves from. There was also a post-apocalypse book based in Black Mountain where a high-altitude burst knocked the US back into the 19th century, then a raider army of cannibal ex-cons attacked the town, so they could work that in. They could have had some doomsday cult evangelist living out of Billy Graham's old place trying to kick off the rapture for real.

Between this Obsidian game and the Far Cry apocalyptic technicolor odyssey, I don't think this is Bethesda's week. You know, besides the half baked game that can't run for more than a few minutes unless you're one of the lucky players, the mounting criticisms of cheaping out on their collectors items, and posting their customers data for the world to see. But those are little things.

I remember when I wanted to start playing GTA online, and realizing how expensive a t-shirt was, I went on youtube to figure out how to make money. The guide I saw basically said go into a private session, grind one or two missions over and over, and after a week you'll have enough money to unlock the next barricade. Then after you do that you go back to the same missions, grind for a month or two, then you can unlock the next barrier "and start making some real money"- by which I mean you grind for another month to afford the next money-making scheme. Or your will breaks first and you give real money to buy rockstar funbux. Granted you can do missions with friends (whatever those are) or other random players, but one moron is enough to ruin the fun.

I still like that they threw in "The Institute made Super Mutants!" as an explanation for why they're crammed in this game, but despite everyone in the game asking "Why the hell are they making Super Mutants?" there's no answer. Also they screwed up the brotherhood again by making you destroy the institute instead of killing everyone and seizing the technology. Even if they want to get rid of synths, they had a lot of other stuff that the brotherhood could have used (didn't they make Kellogg live over a century with what were essentially mothballed cybernetic implants?)

There used to be a show about a decade ago about how the man-made world would decay called Life After People (there was another similar one that came out around the same time, can't remember the name). Basically most man-made stuff isn't going to last long without preservation. Worth a watch if you didn't see it back then. And yeah, the science in fallout doesn't make sense and never really has. I can forgive it to a certain extent, but among the first mods I always use are grass and tree mods to put some color back into the wasteland. e: Holy poo poo Threads was a great drat movie, and scared the poo poo out of me when I watched it a few months back. That and The Day After are worth watching. As Nero Danced fucked around with this message at 04:00 on Dec 11, 2018 |

I just remembered one of my gripes from the launch of fallout 4, and there's probably a mod to fix this that I never found, but they had dual wielding in Skyrim, why wasn't that in fallout 4 (and 76 now for that matter)? Tie it to a park or power armor, but that would be interesting. Maybe it would have been overpowered but since they put the minigun and power armor five minutes into the first quest I don't think they would be too concerned about that. E: Thinking about a little bit longer, reload animations would definitely be a problem, and a bunch of other stuff besides As Nero Danced fucked around with this message at 04:55 on Dec 14, 2018 |

For what it's worth I just grabbed one of the nuka cola bottles off of thingiverse to see how long it would take to make one myself (this one: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1239079). Scaling it up as big as the official one, it would take about 30 hours with my printer, which kinda sucks but it's to be expected for something so big (so not something I'd be willing to do myself, but a business could get these made a lot faster). Also I'd be able to swap out the empty bottle inside and put in decent rum instead of cheap poo poo with food coloring. Also for whoever made their model that took 100 hours got outplayed by someone's first model, this one looks better to me than the real one.

I kinda feel bad for them. Ultimately Bethesda told them to make it to a price point, and they ok'd the final design.

Old Boot posted:As has been said: no, they didn't. My problem with the story was I had a white couple, a black baby and a pack of cigarettes on the counter my male character didn't recognize- literally "who left those there?" Pretty minor, just a graphical glitch and an ambiguous line of dialogue, but I had zero emotional connection to the baby or wife. I knew I was giving the game too much credit because Bethesda are a bunch of hacks and wouldn't think of a wrinkle like that, but if my first reaction to the baby is "that's not mine, and holy poo poo I think my wife is cheating on me," it's hard to get invested.
