Reality Loser posted:Fallout 3 is a much better role playing game than 4. You can actually define your character, get unique dialogue options, and solve problems in different ways. In 4, you can pick a faction and maybe pass some charisma checks in between fighting of mobs of enemies. Yeah. And it doesn't have the dogshit Skinner box endless leveling perk tree, so it's less dismissive of your time

As lame as THREEDOOOOG AWOOOOOO is, I like that his radio updates on your quests actually take into account what you chose during them. Diamond city radio never really seemed to do that and it was lame.

In Far Harbor DIMA says maybe you're a synth too, and I remember thinking that that'd be way better and more interesting. But nope!

In fallout 4, every companion is as compelling as rose of sharon

Lily is best in FONV. Charon is cool in 3 I guess. The best companion in 4 is the guy in Far Harbor, which is a running theme

Keeshhound posted:Honestly, it's the best outcome he could've reasonably expected, anyway. It's the loving wasteland and he just screams for help to the first random stranger he sees? Idiot. There's even a bit of acknowledgement that you might do this: If you never established Sanctuary then when Piper tells you to go meet all the factions she'll point you towards Concord, where the last Minutemen are fighting

Arcsquad12 posted:Well the East Coast Brotherhood going back to their xenophobic ways with an extra dose of militaristic assholery was a nice addition to Fallout 4. It is fine on its own, but the implication that the west coast chapters were sick of the Lyons's poo poo and sent their top enforcer to straighten them out was a great touch. No, Maxson is already in the Citadel in FO3. He's a little poo poo who tells you he's sick of Lyons being nice to people and wants to murder some mutants

prometheusbound2 posted:What exactly would that look like? Again, the argument that scope precludes depth is flatly contradicted by New Vegas-a game built around the hardware limitations of the Xbox 360. the new vegas wasteland is full of empty buildings with no interior

chitoryu12 posted:Again, really only because of the console limitations. Mods that add extra interiors show that the game itself is more than capable of handling tons of buildings without choking. It was also constrained by time and budget constraints. For more about this see every building in FO4 being essentially identical on the inside since making lots of setpieces is expensive

Fallout 4 cut out all the roleplaying to focus on gunplay yet they didn't make the gunplay all that good. Game is pointless and I hate it.

Keeshhound posted:What story is left also pulls in the completely opposite direction of the gameplay by (weakly) attempting to drive you down a linear narrative of trying to find your kid, while literally every other system in the game is about loving around wasting time doing meaningless chores for assholes or building hovels for your vassals. The Lone Wanderer also did the latter

Whatever happened to wastelands 3? They did that teaser thing years ago and then no news since. Did it just get cancelled?

Garrand posted:After giving up my raw survival run and started modding I just grabbed a mod that gave me back fast travel and quick saving. I mean, I could live without fast travel but I don't think the areas and combat are interesting enough to trek through multiple times but that quicksave thing is loving mandatory. gently caress having to find a bed to save. There's a very good fast travel mod for survival which enables fast travel... but only between settlements that you have a trade route to. So there's a benefit to setting those up, and it's still difficult when going into new territory, but once you set up a new base you can travel freely and still take care of Sanctuary sometimes.

I can't decide whether Fallout 4 or Skyrim is worse, but they are both depressingly bad.

If they extract the original files then it can't possibly be illegal. This is just some c&d corporate bullshit

It's not transformative because they aren't redistributing the files at all. Bethesda are just crushing this illegally because they have money and are bitches

Keeshhound posted:That's not what transformative means in this context. Also, if it's not transformative, that makes Bethesda's position stronger, because if the use isn't in some way transformative, it has a harder time qualifying as fair use. you can't violate copyright law if you don't distribute copyrighted files and give someone a tool to copy their own, that they already have. you don't even have to consider fair use at that point.

Wolfsheim posted:New Vegas is kind of the aberration in that it has an ungodly amount of every weapon type (including my favorite, unarmed). Take that out and it's a pretty linear progression from F1->F4 in terms of variety, just the jump from F3 alone is pretty significant especially when you account for all the 'unique' weapons in F3 that were just the normal weapon model with a higher damage value and a different name. F3 absolutely has more weapon types than 4

Arcsquad12 posted:I talk a lot of crap about fallout 3 but I haven't actually played it for years, so my memory is spotty, but are there many instances if any where there is interconnectivity between regions on the map? Like I remember the Republic of Dave or Gary but outside of those instances in and of themselves do other people in the wasteland comment on other regions? no, it's mostly unconnected areas. though you can listen to THREE DOG, AWOOOOOOOOOOO!!! and he'll talk about the choices you made.

Neurolimal posted:Little Lamplight was going to have some influence on FO4, with the Gunners being the Talon Company, but people balked pretty heavily at that so they changed stuff. if you follow dave after his questline and protect him long enough he actually will reach an area he likes, sit down, and declare it the New Republic of Dave

chitoryu12 posted:Also I've noticed how after adding stuff to Fallout 3 that may or may not make a ton of sense but were at least neat references to do once, they kept doing it in Fallout 4 and sometimes made it even more extreme. The Children of Atom go from four or five people in one town to having an entire settlement in the most irradiated part of the wasteland. One quest with some minor Lovecraftian references now gets multiple, including immortal people using alien artifacts that are literally magic. A museum about the old world satirizing worship of a distorted historical America turns into the entire population of Boston cosplaying the Revolutionary War or baseball teams. Super mutants being common because of a vault experiment in the Capitol Wasteland turns into super mutants filling the streets as mooks that even a first level Sole Survivor can kill armies of. Yeah. Also, Liberty Prime is funny in fo3 but then he sucks in fo4. Etc

Fair Bear Maiden posted:There's an interesting audio interview with Todd Howard at this link where he talks a little bit about development at Bethesda and their plans for the future. I dunno how someone could play fallout 2 with it's racist Chinaman stereotypes, star trek time portal, Dr Who Robot Dog, and Dan Quayle jokes and think anything goes in the setting

Speedball posted:There were still a lot of nice QoL things in Fallout 4 over 3 or New Vegas that I'm giving Bethesda a lot more credit. Making Power Armor a walking tank that you climb into was wonderful, removing weapon durability was nice, and making it so that all the junk and poo poo you find can be turned into crafting materials gave me a reason to be a hoarder for once. These are all reasons fo4 is awful though Like, the crafting and modding means there's very little weapon variety; the way the power armor works means every dungeon has the same Cool Loot (a couple cores) etc. And settlements, hoo boy corn in the bible fucked around with this message at 20:26 on Apr 5, 2018 |
