I don’t think the courier is supposed to have memory loss. Though he does get to ask stuff he should know, he also gets to make refferences to his past at other times - guitar guy looking for his dad bening an early example I remember.

Do we need to be spoiler tagging this stuff? If you get mailed a letter bomb or whatever the responsibility is with whoever made and send it, not with the post man.

I wouldn’t mind seeing the “modern” NRC core but at this point that wouldn’t really have the wasteland hook any more. If they want that, Fallout europe maybe? Kind of a fresh start, and civilization there is probably very different without the benefit of the vaults.

They'd only need to cut argonians and khajiit (unless they go with one of the not fury variety) for that.

Fallout 3 didn't have voice acting and wasn't much better in that regard.

In Elder Scrolls's case "race" would be referring to cat people and lizard people.

I know cat people would sound like they're constantly judging you but how would lizard people sound like?

Like they are trying to suppress a hiss.

Killing stuff levels you up because the character is a force blackhole.

TLDR: New Vegas had thought put into why and how it's setting works, Fallout 3 just has stuff in it because someone thought it would be neat.

That still considers you at a penalty for perk purposes.

One of them was some kind of researcher/scientist and could join as a companion.

Yea but... rape camps.

If they hadn't included that one detail all this would make the legion an interesting evil faction where you can kind of see what they are going for, but since they did also throw in rape camps they can't ever be anything but cartoonishly evil.

Maybe that's why you don't like Fallout 4 because it's about building a network of small sustainable farming communities and hauling garbage.

There's no reason to actually do any of that either.

Yea, but I wouldn't argue that's what the game is about - playing falloutcraft is completely optional, I think a lot of us just slapped down some beds in goodspring and called it a day. :D

What would actually be required for them to make Fallout 76 only use paid mods? They can't exactly shut down the Nexus. Would it be coding the game so only mods with a Creation Club signature function?

For online/mp games it’s the other way around and they’d have to purposefully enable client side mods, can’t just dl a new gun from nexus and drop it in your game folder if the game data is being stored on their servers.

How do mods even work with an online only game? What are you going to mod that isn't going to break it for other people who don't have the mod?

Texture mods or sounds should still be possible. For anything involving new items or gameplay they would need to make a system where mods are basically dlc and distributed to other players by the client.

Oh its going to be small scale individual servers type thing? This whole time I was under the impression it was more MMO.

Afaik yes but all servers are run by bethesta and you get assigned one at random.
