I bought the Atom RPG just because it sounded more Fallout than anything Bethesda has cooked up; in fact, everyone in this thread has come up with a better Fallout than Bethesda.
Since I have been playing Fallout 4 more recently, I started to enjoy some aspects of base building but beyond that, parts of it are annoying as hell. I still despise the fact that you have to be a hoarder that needs to grab every junk item just to build something important like scrounging around just to build a broadcast tower so people could come to your little plot of dirt to build.
Yeah pretty sure it was the second one, but it's really just another day down there.
The dude on the right would not be out of place in a Fallout setting, regardless of location
If I remember, Bethesda actually made Obsidian lock all the fun whacky stuff behind the Wild Wasteland trait. Who the fuck knows why.
Nah that was Obsidian's decision, it was in response to FO2's controversial wacky bullshit.
Part that pisses me off is that you can remove debris, having to build around mounds of trash makes this even worse than it already is. Thank God for mods.
Not being able to get rid of trash was no doubt annoying since that stuff couldn't be removed. Even more annoying is trying to build stuff with the Vault 88 DLC. Try to put in a corner wall and it goes in the way you don't want it for whatever reason. Thanks Todd and co. for not testing out the system further. Really nice that to put up with some BS over the attempt in trying to make a building only to deal with the settlement building being stubborn and insistent in how the part should be placed.
Who the fuck found the whacky shit controversial? Did they never happen across the flattened alien in a Kaiju footprint in FO1? The game has been whacky from the getgo!
The base building would of been fine if it was just the one base to build and invest it but there's a dozen of the fuckers and you're some how suppose to give a fuck about all of them. And don't even get me started about how all the people living in the bases are literally just names settler.
I believe it was Chris Avellone who thought they went overboard with the goofiness.
I disagree with Chris Avellone for once?! I never thought it was overboard. I thought it was the absolutely perfect amount of serious and silly to make a game that, while compelling, never tried taking itself too seriously.
Considering the state of Sanctuary, Betheseda really could of made it better if they allowed you to scrap down the parts further so you could end up buildings that weren't just sheets of wood and metal but rather having pre-war homes with makeshift walls and roofs. And with furniture and the like, they could of done better with them so the homes could be more than just "crappy wooden shack with a dirty mattress."
