Fallout series

It’s pretty obvious why freaks love New Vegas. It was a popular RPG game for NEETs to discuss on the internet and make mods for and generally be autistic and sperg out about. As you probably know, the internet shut ins-to-tranny pipeline is very real and a dangerously slippery slope. Anything else about “gay perks” and “gay characters” is just dumb and clearly not the case.

What if Bethesda decided to make a blank slate type of Fallout game where it's just a basic map with some areas of interests for you to loot and shoot enemies and some towns too but you're supposed to mod the fuck out of it like it's gmod

Like Bethesda basically said "fine make your own fallout"

The Gamer released an interview with Fallout designer John Deily, the one behind talking deathclaws.
He says that he wanted intelligent deathclaws to have way bigger role in the games, becoming on par with super mutants and ghouls.
He also claims that Avellone was a giant pain in the ass to work with - he had final say on everything and disagreeing with him was "career-ending thing” (explains a lot about his OC donut steel Ulysess, honestly.)

The more I hear about Fallout under Interplay the more and more I think it was a happy accident the games were actually good.

The first game was made by the Wasteland team who had a ton of experience making a classic RPG in a post apocalyptic setting. They had essentially already made 'Fallout' as the Fallout was originally supposed to be 'Wasteland 2'. But they lost the license for Wasteland to EA and then lost the GURPS license to its owner over content issues as the guy didn't want his license to be used for a game containing so much gore and violence. Brian Fargo told them to find another name and when the names were all terrible he said to just use 'Fallout'. And they came up with SPECIAL in about a week to replace GURPS.

Then in the future they would lose the Fallout license to Bethesda just as they had lost Wasteland before. And basically lose the original engine as well as Fallout would then become some type of FPS/RPG hybrid instead of a CRPG. Now both Wasteland and Fallout studios and employees are mostly back with Microsoft. Including Brian Fargo the executive producer of Fallout 1 and the creator of the Wasteland games.

*Fun fact: Arcade Gannon from New Vegas was Josh Sawyer's self-insert in the tabletop campaign Obsidian did to conceive the world and characters of the game. Upon hearing this, it surprised me not at all.

Honestly I don't mind the guy on his technical prowess. It's just that his queer, Reddit "je ne sais quois" bubbles up just often enough for me to dislike him. Just like Arcade Gannon.

*I'm late. I know.

Avellelone was also one of the only people involved with the Fallout franchise to say the Fallout TV show was poorly written shit on Twitter which I give him credit for.

Almost all his colleagues were tripping over themselves to gush about how much of a masterpiece it was.

A lot of users in the r/Fallout subreddit overnight just completely turned against Chris Avellone after his comments on the Fallout show. The whiplash is so bad that users are other wondering wtf happened in there. If hive-minded redditors are confused by it then something is completely fucky.

You'd be surprised how often the cringe party members in RPGs turn out to be some dev's personal tabletop character.

Gannon was always my least favorite companion in F:NV. After one playthrough with him I've since avoided his quests and interactions. Now I know why.

Raul will always be an honorary Aryan to me. He is cool personality wise and doesn't really give a damn on what you do, and has one of the best outfits in the game once you complete his quest. Absolute bro. Boone is cool to.
Lilly should of been fleshed out a bit more, I'll say it again but she was the least developed companion and it shows. Otherwise she was great and I feel bad for her.
Arcade is boring, but I didn't mind him all that much. I've only done his quest once and it's been awhile since I used him. So my memory is hazy.
Veronica just reminds me of someone's OC on tumblr right before it went completely insane. She is annoying and overall a bad character, but there is some good writing here and there with her at least.
Cass is fine, not great but fine.

I think the biggest sin is that we never really got a true Legion companion. I can imagine it being some ex-tribal dude who has criticisms of the Legion, but is loyal and appreciates all the good it's done for him and others.

He also has the most interesting backstory imo. Perfect blend of tragic and badass. I'll seldom deviate from him as a primary companion, though if I want to mix it up I'll go with Veronica.

In terms of tragic and badass, I prefer Raul in that aspect, not to diminish Boone though since his story really struck with me and I always do his quest in every save I do with him. But Raul is really awesome, probably the best companion to have if you want to have a run with the NCR as your enemy.

His ending is pretty great too if you help him amend his horrible nightmares about Bitter Springs.

I wish Dragbody would redo his old NCR overhaul, it looks way cooler than his Faux WW2 look and the weird gay pornstar outfit he put Polatli in.

Also, I would like some input on my next character.
Currently debating between a Charisma build Enclave remnant officer or an NCR Sapper, though I'm open to any ideas really. Just not Brotherhood of steel.
I'm rather tired of them. was recently infected with build autism from Pathfinder and Rouge Trader so it's becoming difficult for me to be decisive about it.
