Fallout series

[Death Knight Of Mor]

3 had Dad and the named BoS characters, IIRC. It's actually an interesting little story across the Fallout and Elder Scrolls games themselves. In F1/2, your end goal was destructive in nature, the only problem was getting there, and in essence the entire main quest was simply the act of getting directions to where you needed to go. Even in Morrowind, Bethesda was unable to emulate this, and so they introduced the "essential" tag, which played the famous "with this character's death" message, essentially a glorified "congrats, genius, you broke it" message. This was then changed to immortality for Oblivion, apparently because console players thought that reloading the autosave was more obnoxious than the game just flatly refusing to let them kill people (also worth mentioning is that Oblivion introduced children, and something something ESRB). New Vegas walked it back towards the old Fallout games, limiting the essential tag itself to only children, but arguably halfway cheating by having Yes Man both reincarnate and be physically incapable of holding a grudge.

By the time of Skyrim and F4, however, the philosophy seems to have shifted from "don't let the player softlock themselves" to "don't let the player lock themselves out of content", and the results are plain to be seen. Conclusion: it really does take serious skill to make a story that can adapt to the player being an omnicidal lunatic, and that's something that's been lost in both the downgrade of writer skill over the years and the increased emphasis on scripted spectacle as games have gotten more advanced.

EDIT

I was actually vibing to this pretty well for the first minute and a half, but HOLY FUCK A POWER ARMOR TRAINING MANUAL?! No, no that's not how that fucking works, what the fuck is wrong with you people?

forgive me for being a lorelet retard but whats wrong with a power armor training manual? it seems reasonable that if Thiers special training to wrear it their would be a book on it

right?

This interview is such a fucking shitshow. Sneed's Feed and Seed got brought up four separate times and the lead dev had to check if there's an actual Sneed quest in the mod. The interviewer is constantly reading outright insults towards the lead dev. The USS Liberty got mentioned.
"could you tell me about the JQ questline, particularly the merchant?"
The lead dev was asked if they were going to report the pedo dev to the authorities, he hesitates, so the interviewer has to after some silence interject that obviously they're going to report this to the proper authorities.

Well, now I'm a little sad I don't get to experience the autism myself.

On the other hand, I feel like the Mothership Zeta shitpost-turned-sort-of-serious-before-abandoned-due-to-rl would have been a much better use of my time.

According to the interview stream, Phobos has left the team.

He won't be the last, the mod's so thoroughly tainted that it'll be an albatross for the remaining developers.

Some impressive technical work aside, who's gonna want to hire someone that still associates with this thing?

 

[Super Kami Guru]

Not sure if these were posted yet.

I like how they virtue signal that the Enclave is evil but let you have a slave girl

 

[Ruin]

I know expectations were low for this thing but I don't think anyone predicted the entire mod would be destroyed by sneedposters.

 

[Kup]

I’m gonna paint some Enclave minis in celebration tonight.

God bless America.

Not even that, they have the audacity to claim that the Enclave's too evil while letting you join the fucking Legion.

The same assholes that institutionalized rape, enjoy enslaving helpless people, commit cultural genocide as a hobby, sic raider gangs on harmless towns (before betraying those raiders just because they love backstabbing allies), turns a blind eye to cannibalism, mutilates their opponents, and loves taking teddy bears from little slave girls.

Somehow they were ok with all that, but the Enclave's a big no-no for them.

Has anyone downloaded the mod? It's been taken down everywhere. Can it be archived here?

The Virgin Frontier vs the Chad New Vegas Bounties.

Implying I'd ever touch it I'm just insulted by the notion it should get some free pass to be terrible just because it was free as if the people who were suckered into expecting something good and getting a wet fart in their face instead. Believe it or not time is still a finite resource you choose to use on something so I don't see why you wouldn't be justified in being unhappy when someone lies and wastes your time

The thing is, it's not terrible it has a lot of terrible shit in it, but there are also genuine moments of excellence. Then again, they were probably all done by Devilswish, so I guess I'll just praise him and mock everyone who wasted his talent.

*Catches up with the thread while making this post*

Never fucking mind, then. Good on Devilswish for getting the fuck away from this dumpster fire while he could.

Any big tiddy snek mods yet?

I was gonna settle for a shortstack gecko gf

Negative, they're still trying to sort out compatibility issues with xNVSE

Here's the 2nd self insert fursona one of the devs did. Apparently he has a deviantart and furaffinity, people on /v/ claimed he goes by the name "Doucheclop" on the latter incase anyone want to see how painful that is.

I’m starting to think Frontier might need its own thread, this is a dumpster fire the likes of which we haven’t seen since a fat turk tried to make MGSV in Half-Life.View attachment 1875529

Speak of the devil, check out the newest mod on the nexus.

(Made by the guy who did the fucking piss factory mod! What in the actual fuck is even going on here anymore?!)

Mod's gone

Holy shit, this really is going to be the biggest shitfuck in modding since the paid mods fiasco.

We need someone to post a link to the unpatched venison of the mod

Has anyone downloaded the mod? It's been taken down everywhere. Can it be archived here?

Upload it somewhere. The cringe must live on.

I have a copy, along with most of the patches as separate files, so you can see how it changed, but I also have shitty internet, so somebody else should probably try first.

Nothing is wrong with it in the sense of the world, the problem is how it fucks with the game progression. In all Fallout games except 4 and 76, power armor training was only available from one or two places per game, and reliant on you getting into their good graces. It was special, it was unique, and to reduce it to "perk book lul" just feels cheap.

Anyone got that "Free vertibird rides" scrolling gif? Nearly pissed myself laughing at that
