far harbour is that sickly sweet promise of what bethesda could be dunno if it's from swinging big all the time, or if it's a thousand monkeys and a thousand typewriters kinda thing though

you can also make some really cool greenhouses with the warehouse set not really a point to them, but you can have some slick looking settlements

dunno if it's an 'early game advantage', but murdering every last fuckin' van graff for their stuff with Cass owns. more mid-game? don't care, best way to get rich. all the what should have been fun murder-crime sprees in the first two, gunning down all the slavers or robbing a casino, were just soooo loving tedious.

the brotherhood legitimately wanted the holotapes, though it was low priority and it was also a great way to cure dumbshit tribals of their curiousity. think that quest was the first time carrying around rope had been useful in an rpg since roa starfall. also shoes, if a game ever offers you a chance to buy good shoes, always splurge.

the 'good' ending of tactics has everyone lorded over by a machine cult of robo-apparatchiks, but deathclaw integration programs and ghoul safe spaces which is rad. the 'just following orders' ending has slave labour camps for mutants and a deathclaw head over the mantle of every good patriotic household... well, hovel anyway... but the machine cult will all sound like r. lee emery which is pretty loving cool.

It's normally a cheery song playing over a scene of long-destroyed 50s peppiness, and this time it's an abandoned vault but abandoned in a good way they may have opened that vault door optimistically, but it wasn't 'good'.

if this is instanced exploration about twenty years after the war with co-op play and maybe some sort of social hub at the vault... I kinda dig that. build a few makeshift shelters, maybe some state of decay type stuff, collect a mcguffin and a bunch of garbage you can use to make mods and armor then truck on back to '76. with it being so close to after the bombs fell when you finally reach that cool spot you saw off in the distance, all the npcs will be dead. that removes the most disappointing part of beth games.

fallout 4 made everything useful by making nothing useful. if you came across rope, a watch, a tin can etc. in crpgs in general, it'd have a very tailored, singular use in the game. maaaaybe a couple, tops. you'd feel all clever for holding on to this piece of poo poo of all game and it was rewarding in the most middling sense of the term. or it was vendor trash, no in between. now you can look at an aluminium can and say 'hey can, you're gonna be part of a fat man bomb one day and you're gonna kill sooooo many loving raiders'... that owns.

gonna say it, I am excited. excited for those first ten to fifteen hours where it's loving amazing and the best thing ever, don't lie. won't so much enjoy the following ten where it tails off into aggressive mediocrity and then never finish it. I'm also excited about the next however many hours I spend beating the poo poo out of it with mods and being a murderhobo who avoids anything resembling plot.

aren't the file structures of creation club poo poo and nexus stuff the exact same? scripts, models, blah blah blah, .esm? there's probably way to mark one valid and the other not, but I don't really see how they'd do that in a way that'd take.

only ever made it as far as the derrigable showing up... or maybe going to find some dude out in the glowing sea. it's comforting to know that in the end, the player, the writers and even the npcs are all just soooo loving confused about what's going on. about what I expected.

mental illness doesn't detract from the range of tabitha's vocabulary. also, strong hating everything... if one can ever really discern the mud that is bethesda's narrative... are actions he's too stupid to understand. it's not interesting or fun and doesn't make for a good companion, but it's true to the whole 'stupid thing, smashy-smashy' shtick super mutants are about. except in strong's case, there's some jag-off vault dweller who keeps insisting this poo poo is really important and needs to be done, keeping him from smashing said stupid thing.

you do honest hearts first, cuz it's the best. dead money is just tedious and kinda dumb, so that goes second to get it out of the way. lonesome road should probably go last, but old world blues when you're disgustingly overleveled actually makes the parts where you're not talking to the brains in a jar moderately... well, not fun, but tolerable.
