Best bit about new reno is golgotha and pretty boy lloyd

loads of ways to finish that mission,one of my favourites.

One can kill him on the spot and pay Salvatore out of your own pocket. (-10 karma)

The player character can tell him to take you to where the money is stashed (Intelligence 6 required)
.
Once you reach the correct grave at Golgotha, make sure that Lloyd does the digging to avoid the landmine he has buried there (adds plastic explosives to your inventory). If you head down the grave at this point, Lloyd will escape. If waited too long before going down yourself, Lloyd has disappeared and escaped. A better way to handle the job is to either follow him down into the grave immediately and kill him (-10 karma) or else drop the landmine down to kill him (-5 karma). The $1000 are in the footlocker.

The Chosen One can employ the hands of companions to do the 'dirty job' to avoid the karma loss.

Alternatively, the Chosen One can let Lloyd leave (+5 karma) after telling where he stashed the money, or after making him show the place himself but before digging it up.

my favourite is dropping a landmine on his head :allears:

also digging up the ghoul is one of the funniest missions in any fallout game,the graveyard is so full of good poo poo and easter eggs it's ridiculous.

It would be cool to see a Fallout sidegame where you play an Attis figure trying to unite super mutants for X reason (perhaps you could even choose why, with that choice affecting who you can persuade and locking off certain supermutants). It would play well into Bethesda's strengths, in that you'd mainly be managing your town and venturing into an unmapped wasteland that would randomly spawn the mutant encounter setpieces.

Eventually you'd become big enough that one of the human countries (depending on your stated goal) would start an endgame war with you. Maybe even a Hard Mode choice of "gently caress every other race, mutant supremacy! They dont deserve conversion/dipping!" That would make all factions hostile to you, including ghoul and synth factions that are otherwise never hostile, and lock you out of persuading most reasonable mutant characters.

Mutant fallout fashion game would be bitchin' let me shoot people with giant guns and wear sick armour and be mentally damaged.

Bethesda is not a competitive developer anymore. Open World/RPGlite systems are the backbone of every game from Far cry to God of War to RDR to Horizon Zero Dawn. These games are better looking, with better mini games, better characters and combat and writing and design. In every way Bethesda is outdone. As an RPG their games do not compete with cdpr, obsidian, and haven't for a long time. There's just nothing they excel at, and it's becoming very obvious, and they either should hang up their Dev hats or completely overhaul.

Instead they seem hell-bent on puttering along just as they have been.

This is a good post :five:

what does bethesda do anymore that other games don't do infinitely better? The graphics suck,the engine sucks,the story and dialogue was never upto par with interplay's fallout 1 and 2.

The gunplay sucks,melee sucks.

Fallout 3 was my first and i have fond memories of it (which will stay memories cause im sure it won't hold up)then i became addicted to f1 and f2 and i thought new vegas was ok but didn't have quite the same atmosphere of f3 even if mechanically it was a better game.

never played 4,will never play this.

I have to say I am a lot more disappointed in Bethesdas response to this debacle than I am to the actual game itself. I can tolerate bad games from Bethesda, they have made them for many years. But the games always felt like a genuine effort at their best. Even if Redguard or Battlespire weren't very good, they were trying to make something good and they were just spin offs. They cared about their reputation and fans.

But this new Bethesda feels like a f2p mobile company. They don't seem to care that their reputation is being shredded. If Todd Howard came out and said "Sorry, Fallout 76 sucks we are offering refunds to anyone who wants it, and replacement bags for people who ordered the special edition. We will be working very hard to improve the game, and we hope in the months to come we can win back your business." I would be happy to forgive them and give them a second chance. But instead they are stonewalling everyone and offering an insulting 500 fake Bethesda bux to people scammed by their collectors edition. This response does not make me feel confident in this company, which is a really bad move considering they have main line Elder Scrolls games and Starfield coming up. Who is going to preorder the ultra deluxe edition of Starfield after this?

:same: it's a level of insulting from a games company that even in this day and age is pretty breathtaking.

I wanted to be Big Boss building Outer Heaven and not whatever the gently caress Kojima tried to pull.

Pd: Fallout 4 loving sucked

Completely agreed,for once i wish kojima had just done a simple story of Big boss against the world,not whatever the gently caress wolbachia and loving language worms and loving Aagh!

I don't think Fallout in terms of story has been topped by Fallout 1,do any of you remember the glow?

let me tell you a loving tale.

At some point in the story you'll stumble across some kind of compound guarded by two guys in powered silver armour,they seem fairly friendly but unwilling to let you into their compound....unless you do the secret initiation....

The guy you talk to disappears inside and comes out a short while later "Uhhh the boss says if you want to join our brotherhood you'll have to pass a test,there's this place called the glow a few miles from here,if you get there and bring us back a holotape we'll let you in our group"



so as a naive vault dweller who's easily swayed and a bit gullible you head off to this place called the glow

and as you walk off you see one of the guards say to the other "what he's really gonna do it?"

When you get there you find the place is a giant crater where one of the bombs fell and what's left is a smoldering radioactive ruin that leads into a place called the west tek facility,without rad-away you'll melt getting there and you'll surely melt leaving the place.

climbing down into the crater with a rope you must fight your way through malevolent robots,traps,radiation and all kinds of poo poo,it's genuinely nerve wracking knowing that if you take too long your radaway reserves (which are quite scarce in F1) will deplete and you'll turn to mush as the rads boil you inside out.

If you do search the place thoroughly you'll find a supercomputer called zax and you can play chess with it (even at intelligence 10 i've never won) and of course time ticks down as you're doing this so it's basically a death sentence to rads.

The best bit is the huge loot you get in the final area and the holotape which talks about how the brotherhood formed and as far as i know is the canon version for the fallout bible,it's so bleak and amazing.

so now you've got what you came for,time to make the trip back and hope you survive,the brotherhood guards are amazed that you survived and not just that you managed to bring the holotape back.Those fuckers just wanted you away from their super secret compound and were willingto send you off to an excruciating slow death to do it.

best most atmospheric mission in any fallout game i've played.

Stockholm Syndrome vis a vis Capitalism.


Well said, I agree - The Glow owned in terms of atmosphere. The looming invisible terror of radiation poisoning combined with the eerie music made the whole experience quietly terrifying. The horror atmosphere of Diablo 1 versus the action fantasy elements of Diablo 2 is why I prefer the former to the latter too.

Sometimes the scariest monsters in horror movies are the ones we rarely or never see but get our minds to imagine the terror and do the heavy lifting.

I think my favourite bits in all the fallout games have been the holotapes and hints at the way people died (a skeleton reaching for a gun under a bed with a knife between its ribs things like that)
The holotape in fallout 3 where candice is saying she can see the mushroom cloud,horrifying.
