Fallout series

I bought the fourth a while ago, but I'm waiting until I get a week off to play it. I'm bummed that they got rid of the karma system; I liked being the Scourge of The Wastes.

I wish they gave X6-88 a companion questline, he's super OP in Special stats but he's so damn boring.
 
There's been a shitstorm with Fallout 4 winning the BAFTAs, with the insane fandom of the Witcher 3 babbling about how THEY deserved to win. Even though they have 251 awards, and are the most awarded video game in history. :story:

Considering that shitstorm, one may as well ask why not let one of the other games win it. Regardless of how one feels about Fallout and/or Witcher, one may as well wish the crappiest game on BAFTA won the event, then that salt would be glorious.
 
Just a two hours before we get the Wasteland Workshop DLC!

DLC is pretty damn full of stuff for the price. Now I can make cages to catch gorillas to fight to the death!
 
Holy fucking shit, did they really make Horse Armor 2.0? I'm looking at these Steam reviews and the critical reception is nothing less than hilarious.

I'm honestly more asspained about the odd nominations and Her Story/Everybody's Gone to the Rapture winning some awards. How the fuck did walking simulator 231 win in sound over Battlefront? And hot damn what did Her Story do that was innovative at all?
Also what the fuck kind of category is "Persistent game"?

It's not that bad. There is legit content, as you can have deathclaws and mirelurks to defend your settlements, and battles to the death as well. It's half the price of horse armor, and feels somewhat worthwhile.
 
Video Game Awards mean absolutely nothing, and there are probably more great games that didn't receive an award than those which did. I might be wrong, but the point stands.

I wish we could nuke Diamond City.

EDIT: I do understand there are games with award recognition, that deserve the fame and glory, but they've set these shows up like the worst advertising campaigns.

I wish we could nuke the Minutemen and establish a more overt Institute dictatorship

At least we can side the Minutemen with the Institute so they don't fight against their synth overlords. FEV and kidnapping people aside, the more one looks at the Institute, the more one wonders how the Railroad is right. I say that because outside of existential crisis, I don't see how freeing the synths is the best idea, not when one of them literally chooses to become a raider warlord and the leader of the Railroad doesn't allow me a middle ground because it's either "help the synths or don't".

Oh don't get me wrong, in terms of morals the Institute is the darkest of all the factions, with their enslavement of synths, their penchant for releasing biological agents into the Commonwealth, and not to mention the dozens of massacres they've done, but all these actions were done for the sheer ignorance they have for the surface which they all view in contempt (well most, some of the Institute members actively want to improve things topside, and some even want to increase rights for synths).

The Railroad isn't in the wrong for wanting to free synths, but those synths can go on to commit vile acts (just like any other person in the wasteland). They're pretty much just an anti-slavery group that isn't very interested in anything that isn't slavery (their presence is the main reason why slavery isn't as prevalent as it is in DC and Vegas)

The one group I don't like is the Brotherhood of Steel, they're glorified techno fascists who enter areas and pillage the local populace of their technology while establishing a feudal society centered around a xenophobic cult figure.

The Minutemen is the best possible outcome for the Commonwealth, since they:

A) Allow and support the goals of anti-slavery of the Railroad
B) Allow and support the freedom and self-efficacy of communities
C) Help re-establish and integrate synth and human refugees from the Institute into the wasteland

So, if we were to revisit any state commonwealth in a future Fallout (despite it being against the usual order progression), which one could it be?

Los Angeles Before the NCR really got established (in between Fallout 1 and Fallout 2).

For a new area I want either Seattle (a constantly freezing frozen hellole full of radblizzards with mutated monstrosities coming out of Olympic National Forest) or New Orleans (a decaying city of the dead in a toxic swamp bordered by the poisonous Mississipi River)
