Fallout series

[Mega Black]

It's just Bethesda being uncreative and relying on nostalgic bullshit to sell games.

That and 76 was being ruthlessly shit on and they needed people to come back with something solid that they knew people would be attached to. The Wastelanders update needed to have the Brotherhood because without them it wouldn't have gotten anywhere near as much positive buzz for having 'fixed' 76.

A way to make other paths for the New Vegas ending seem like a viable alternative is to play up more serious negatives for the NCR.

Play up the fact that NCR corporations are beginning to exert a level of control over the government that prewar corporations had over America.

Have it so that instead of the Great Khans acting like a bunch of Raiders and being surprised there would be retribution, it's instead that the Khans were reforming with aid of the Followers and abandoned their roots as Raiders when the Bittersprings Massacre occured which reverted the Khans back to being Raiders and drug dealers.

Make it seem more clearly that while the NCR are a democracy, they're following way to closely in the footsteps of prewar America and a victory at Hoover Dam might be the point that pushes them fully into prewar corruption.

The thing is with NCR the corruption is more subtle since you see how corrupting the NCR tourism dollars are and how the people in outer Vegas has to fight with the NCR over water. Take Gommorah vs Atomic Wrangler for example. While NCR soldiers are gushing about how good the Gommorah is, it is a drug addiction hellhole that sex workers nope out of and is homophobic and misogynistic nfor that 1920's den of vice flavor vs Atomic Wrangler asking you to get sex workers fitting for gays and women. Meanwhile Gommorah wants everyone to get addicted to their vices while the Garret tries to make sure the vices are fed but not overfed and have a vested interest in helping Freeside back for all the sex and booze money they make and admits junkies and creeps are bad for business while Gommorah allows bad company so long as they have the caps.

Then you got the situation involving the Hostlers where their daughter runs off with a gang because how NCR basically fucked up her family that bad. She tells it to you straight that her mom's life as a NCR sharecropper is shit and her dad is working for a company he will never be a boss of.

So to say NCR isn't bad news haven't got a chance to piece things together while what the Legion doing is pretty obvious.

Do you think that Caesar found all the Christory on Chris Chan and that pin on his outfit is his Roman sonichu medal?

 

[Vault Boy]

What's the point of the White Glove Society having their own faction reputation? They don't help you at Hoover Dam or provide support in any way and as far as I can tell they aren't involved in any quests except Beyond the Beef.

Weirder is the other two members of the three families The Chairmen and Omertas do not have their own faction rep.

Is it cut content and they originally played a bigger role?

It's even odder that Beyond the Beef doesn't have its own ending slides when it's one of the more involved side quests in the game.

To be fair it gave you the ending which was more in your face than a few of the others.

 

[The handsome tard]

I like the legion because I hate california.

Thats legit a motivation of some of legion members

They legit dont give a shit about Ceaser and any of that non-sense, they just want to get back at the NCR for wrong doings in the past. The Great Khans are basically going with that logic, despite deep down knowing they are dooming themselves when the Legion doesnt need them anymore.

Isnt that ignoring the good from the NCR while downplaying the bad of the other 3 factions?

Im not even an NCR fan, I just like to keep things fair.

Well upon further reading, I'm really, really annoyed that the only real Enclave ending is "whole sail genocide". I did not know this previously, but Autumn was vehemently against the genocide plan so much so that he was at constant odds with Henry Eden. His methods may of been evil and misguided, but Autumn did genuinely want to rebuild America and didn't see how such a blatant genocide would help achieve that goal.

Fun fact, originally, Bethesda entertained the idea of bringing Dick Richardson back from the grave as an AI. I think Henry Eden being an AI that based its personality on the presidents of America (Richardson included) led to him basically having Richardson's views and motivations. So it makes sense that he holds the same extremists views.

Its bizarre to imagine Colonel was actually the progressive one all things considered.

 

[I fucking love Cocaine]

Does anybody actually use the fat man like seriously? I rarely use it in my playthroughs other than messing around with it and by the end of the game I have tons of mini-nukes sitting there in my inventory for nothing.

I always wondered, is it actually useful (maybe in heavy or explosive builds?) or it's just a meme weapon?

In my experience it's not worth the trouble as I always get damaged or irradiated and the enemy (ie Behemoths in case of F3) usually require more mine-nukes to be fired, while instead I could easily mow it down with just a tri-beam laser rifle or with Lincoln's repeater.

Shit functions like storm call shout from Skyrim IMO, is a joker/comodin weapon.
Always work with a group of enemies rather a big one.

The only time I have ever found it useful was in 4 and that was just because it took out Kellogg's synths.

I always used a 10mm against the synths and it worked out fine.

Pretty gay using weapons when you execute Kellog with a Power Fist.

Hey I played the game I nodded but then I found all these weapon mods and raped my game with them. Now I got like 30 different rifles that I usually only use one.

I like dumping a mini nuke in the Silver Rush just to send a message

The explosive one from Far Harbor is the only one you need.
Well, i play FO4 with a overhaul mod called Lunar. One of the things is lowering the facility of getting broken legendary effects.

I got a vanilla assault rifle with that increase damage with each hit and I cleared out about 3 mythic dealthclaws with T-51 power armor. I understand the hate that the rifle gets but I personally think the design is really cool.

That's because originally was called machine gun.
At least Nuka World have proper assault rifles.

Mika world needed a more fleshed out story and raider setup to be really more memorable. Other than that I have mixed feelings because it’s good for combat.

Using anything other than Unarmed in a Fallout Game is pretty gay.
