Fallout series

Malcolm Holmes creepily stalks you AND lies about collecting Sarsparilla Star caps. Murder his ass with no qualms.
I must admit I always murder that guy in Nipton. I just don't know why they have to spawn in when the player is just leaving Mojave Outpost. The fight is always long over before I get there.
Something in New Vegas that always baffled me was when you get the Boomers to support you (whatever side that is) that they proceed to literally bomb Hoover Dam.


Like, all the endings want the Dam intact (Legion really just want a bridge but whatever) and here the Boomers are just doing bombing runs across the top. Always hilarious to me
The B-29 is something so dear and personal to the Boomers they were probably jumping at the chance to go ham on a target. If Pearl had told them to dial it back there'd have been a mutiny.

True about them wanting to blow stuff up, but couldn't they either bomb the shit out of the Fort or Camp McCarran if they wanted to kill a bunch of outsiders?

I just feel like any Courier informing them about the Battle of Hoover Dam and wanting their support would emphasize that they want Hoover Dam intact, and not a direct target of their giant murder plane.

So I decided to play Fallout 3 again for the first time in like 10 years and was amazed that I could get out of the starting vault without killing anyone. I'm pretty sure every time I've played the game before I've accidentally hit VATS on the first security guy and turned the whole place hostile.

I'm actually really mad that ironsights aren't in the game, for some reason I misremembered Fallout 3 having them but I guess it must have been NV. Anything bar a sniper rifle or an assault rifle feels like a waste considering how shitty aiming is.

I've a feeling I'll give up again at some point but right now it's kinda comfy playing the game as actually intended instead of sperging off and going in a random direction until I found something cool.

nah that sounds right. The boomers are paranoid and violent and fix things by bombing them. just like real life.

I feel like it was one of those things where they wanted the player to directly see the outcome of their choices , even if it made zero sense, but it would have made way more sense to have them bomb the fort or Mccarran.

If you are on PC im sure you can find some mod to fix that , but threes aiming sucks anyways from what i remember.


Recently i've downloaded TTW and been playing it , decently good , no big issues , nice to play F3 in NV so i can play as the Brotherhood Hero turned mailman
 
Two mod ideas for NV that don't have any real effect on gameplay but I would love:
  1. An on-screen running total in Blackjack, so I don't have to do mental arithmetic while playing vidya
  2. A shrugging animation that doesn't look retarded
 
It genuinely bothers me how he's the only semi random encounter in the game outside of NCR & Legion hit squads. People can crow on about "18 Months!!!" as much as they want (as if Obsidian didn't agree with that deadline in the first place), how were there no other random encounters planned for a game in a series famous for having them?
I find that really minor all things considered considering how massive the difference in content between 3 and new Vegas is in most everything else

You can but it's very clear that's not what's intended for you given that almost every security guard is immediately hostile to you and nobody gives the slightest shit if you drop every motherfucker with security armor without a second thought but God forbid of you kill the tyrannical overseer who ordered a bunch of people's deaths

I realised I missed the Medicine bobblehead in Vault 101 so I autistically decided to restart my run only to realise that no matter what I did, the security guards were hostile. Is this some autistic thing stemming from any of the dialogue choices prior to this or is it just random whether or not the first guy attacks me?

IIRC, it's more based on if he aggros onto the roaches first and his AI bugs out because the game isn't good at three faction combat. But it's been a good fucking minute since I played 3.

Yes, that guy is supposed to be hostile to you as are all other security guards. The best you can do is just let them whack you without hitting them back on your way out.

It's really killing me that I can't find the mod for Fallout 3, the only things worth to play Fallout 3 in my opinion
The original modder deleted all the files so I can't find them and no other mod has been made like this.
IT'S MADNESS FOR ME.
 
THIS. These yahoos have everything they need to make the Fallout games they want, yet they insist on sitting on their asses and shitting on people who actually enjoy games instead of bitching.

Thats my issue with SOME of the Fallout fanbase, I know that these people are a loud minority and most fans at worst are "I dont care about that one" with F3 and its fans instead of being foaming at the mouth angery at them and Bethesda itself.

But by God they are the freaking worst with their elitist "not a true Fallout fan" attitude. Are they aware how many people end up hating FNV or at least just going with F3 simply out of spite? Or hell, just ditch the franchise altogether?

I recall a scene from early Robot Chicken that touched on this subject briefly but effectively

(forgive the link to Facebook but it was the only online clip I could find)

The funny part? These guys idolize Fallout 1 and 2, and deride the 3D games, only praising NV for the story. So why can't they create their own 90s-style CRPG fanfic set in the Fallout universe? If they were that devoted to the idea of a Fallout 3 without Bethesda, the tools to make it are all there. And if you go with 2D sprites instead of 3D models, it gets easier. Throw in some voice actors and some story writers, and you can have your own Bethesda-free version of Fallout 3.

At least the KOTOR 2 fans, when that game came out as a half-complete mess, dedicated years of work to create a mod that brought in all the missing content from the game. These Bethesda-hating Fallout fans can't even manage that.

At least the people who made that mod tried. Granted, it was a horrible failure, but still, points for trying.

And again, if they were going to make it in the same vein as Fallout 1 and 2, it would be a lot easier to make than Fallout: The Frontier. No 3D models, just sprites and textures.

But I suppose sitting around and bitching all day about EVIL BETHESDA is far easier than actually making something.
 
The schizo has now devolved into claiming that only cumdaddy Bethesda inspires to do anything and that F1&2 fags don't make anything only complain.

This is getting embarrassing.

You mean like the huge total conversion mods for Fallout 2? Like say: Fallout 1.5, Fallout Nevada, Olympus 2207. Or maybe the myriad of smaller mods that add content? Or did you mean original games that were inspiried by oldfag Fallout, like ATOM RPG?

Turns out those NMA fags did all that for the last 20 years. Reality once again infringing on your austistic seething ramblings.

Would be funny if both F1&F2 had gigantic bug fix and content restoration mods. Yup. You'd look like a real stupid faggot then wouldn't you.

I never said anything of the sort. Please, tell me where I said that only Bethesda inspires to do anything. Last I checked, I pointed at the KOTOR 2 fans breaking their backs to fix the game that was launched half-finished.

No. As in, their versions of Fallout 3, 4, and 5. They kept whining about how Bethesda fucked everything up and that's how they never got Van Buren, well, why don't they make Van Buren themselves, the way Black Isle would have done?

Instead, it seems that the 3D-era Fallout fans are the ones who remade the Van Buren game:

Also, last I checked, Fallout Nevada and Olympus 2207 was made by Fallout fans in Russia. Not western Fallout fans who kept bitching about BETHESDA BAD. Fallout 1.5 was made by Czech Fallout fans. Tell me, where are most NMA Fallout fans coming from? Is it the Czech Republic or Russia? Because if the answer is neither, then yes, the NMA fans are lazy dweebs, and your point sinks to the bottom of the ocean floor.

Nowhere near as big as the KOTOR 2 content restoration mod, considering that said game had almost half its content ripped out when it was rushed for a release.

"No I didn't say those exact words, I just bitched how old fallout fags never make anything and that rancid garbage like Frontier is admirable, cause atleast it got made, cause it means they tried to make something unlike complaining oldfags"

Blow it out your ass, faggot.
