New Vegas had a lot of misc. locations and even a airport.

Oh wow, I remember this guy and even Shoddycast before it turned to shit. Damn, both him and Easy Pete's VA passed away right almost at the same day.
Oh wait, this is your first time? I wouldn't have recommended that perk if it is, spoils a bit of fun but eh. Also, holy fuck the magic of someone playing NV for the first time, how I missed it.

fucking around where? please for the love of god don't don't head north of Goodsprings yet. Once I hit level 20, I usually start playing old world blues. trust me, it's a nice way to get good weapons early.

I used to mod the ever loving shit out of Bethesda games but now I find myself using as few mods as possible. I seem to have a very different idea of what Fallout should "feel like" compared to most modders so I typically avoid equipment and story/quest mods. Thankfully the Creating Kit is (usually) simple enough to use that I can make my own personalized mods for some things.

Same, besides cosmetic mods I usually try to restrict myself to bug fix and performance mods to obviously make the game more stable but also to not try and fuck up the original experience TOO much. That being said though, there are one or two mods I can't play without sadly like the sprint mod. I forgot how tedious traversing the land in the old games could be especially without fast traveling. The gunbash mod, because sometimes it's convenient to be able to just break a raider's nose with your pistol grip and the grenade quickthrow mod, because well I don't think I need to explain that one. Those were 3 QoL features they added in Fallout 4 that I absolutely did not mind.
(Other than that, the only real gameplay altering mods I run are the ones that add New Vegas style reputations and speech checks to Fallout 3 content.)

Aside from the horrible shit happening in the Fallout community this week, I always wondered why Obsidian never had House getting into planes or even spacecraft in his final years before the Great War. It would make sense since he is a copy of Howard Hughes but in a retro-futuristic fashion. Seeing DrB0sch of Out of Bounds Inferno fame do this would fit the concept of House wanting a future for space travel and Las Vegas. The only thing hinted at House's interest in spacecraft was his over hundred-year plan. I wish there were more Hughes in House's story. God, I hate how much shit there is in Fallout that could be interestingly fleshed out in the style of D&D or 40k. I fucking hate being a fan of the series.

I'm honestly surprised we haven't gotten Fallout novels considering how many videogames have a book series. It's really a shame that the only ones we've gotten out of Bethesda are the two Greg Keyes Elder Scrolls ones from what I can tell.

If I had a dollar for every time I thought this way, I'd have quite a few dollars.
If he's very much like Howard Hughes he probably got into a near-death crash like him, wouldn't want much to do with planes after that probably. If he was like Hughes he could probably have been sick and bedridden all the time, so that's probably why he'd invest in robots to do tasks he can't as well as the life support systems that also double as a "mind digitizer" for lack of a better term so he can still work. Nothing is mentioned regarding him being bedridden or near-death plane crashes however so eh. He did predict the Great War and was off by mere hours so it's possible he had plans for aircraft and spacecraft he had to scrap due to not having the time to, even if he was close to decent space travel (doubt he had access to the Zetan tech to reverse engineer like the Enclave), it's still space travel. It would most likely take years he didn't have.
Most we got was a graphic novel of All Roads and the old Fallout Bible. It's fascinating how lacking Fallout is compared to Elder Scrolls. I mean, look at The Imperial Library.

Wasn't Hughes spending his remaining days stuck inside and watching that shitty Zebra movie on constant re-run in his room while collecting his own toenial clippings in a jar? That was the whole point in making House reclusive. Plus, we know Robco invested in Repconn, they did so for a reason. House knew which way the wind was blowing, if you don't blow the rockets up we can assume House does something with them in his ending. House was to Robotics what Hughes was to aerospace, I thought that much was obvious.
For the record, the only true piece of cut content, aside from a lockdown mechanic that doesn't work within this engine, was a possibility for a female courier to scan her brain for House using Black Widow. While this may seem like a cut romance option, this was simply intended as an easier way to access his chamber to kill him. Other than that, the Moon Comes Over The Tower quest would have been fleshed out and his chamber would have been more extravagant, but aside from that House was pretty much a finished character. Not much areas in the game can say the same.

Your average Actual Fallout fan has contributed way less to capitalism since they already bought their games on a Steam summer sale roughly 10 or so years ago for exactly $5 (or even just outright pirated them) and are still using the same gaming rig they bought the games on or even just a beaten up 360 if they only played 3/NV.
Meanwhile your average NuFallout fan is paying $15 to $21 every month for xis Amazon Prime subscription (famously a company for the proletariat) and probably has gone through two console cycles (PS4, PS5) ever since Fallout 4's initial release back in 2015. So I'm thinking xe owns two copies of Fallout 4 and 76 respectively and most definitely bought both brand new or even pre-ordered. There's also factors such as Fallout Shelter, 76, and Creation Store microtransactions which probably tallies up to $1,000 or even more if we go from 2015 to 2024... Those things add up quick if we go by your average gacha game player's average.
And not to mention the fucking huge amounts of consoomerist slop that came out. Definitely a critique of capitalism right here when you pay $50 for a dry-ass lukewarm adult happy meal burger delivered by some refugee while also sipping on your 100% definitely-but-we-won't-admit-it child labour sourced flavored coffee (lmao). And they're the one talking about muh capitalism?
RIP as well. Though oddly enough the IRL Goodsprings resident that Easy Pete was based on is still alive, at least.

I still remember the days when I made my own custom Vault 13 jumpsuit(sadly gone now) and was excited to see homemade Power Armor action figures. It blew my mind when Bethesda started giving out lunchboxes and bobbleheads straight from the game with the LE of the games, best Fallout 1 or 2 have gotten were a Vault Tec branded notebook or whatever "Gecko in a Can" was supposed to be.
It's still surreal to me that Fallout has become this big super franchise with tons of slop for sale, and yet it is possibly the worst outcome that could have happened as a fan. I greatly preferred when the franchise was much less public and yet there was pretty much no merchandise for it, actually. Be careful what you ask for.

Ew, fucking Grubhub? I think even partnering with fucking McDonalds would've been more dignified.

This...is painful to look at. It's just sad. I will be slightly fair and say it's mostly normies and their kids who may or may not have evenn watched the show more than nuFallout fans from what I can gather. Not that you're even wrong, not in the slightest. That last comment chain is literally:
"It's just a bottle of another soda but with a Fallout label slapped on and overpriced."
"REEEEEEEEE STOP RUINING MY EXPERIENCE, LET ME CONSOOM IN PEACE"
Makes me wheeze laugh and cringe so hard it's like I bit into an extra ripe lemon while inhaling laughing gas. It's not about critiquing Capitalism anymore, it's just terminally online fanboys defending their beloved IP by any means necessary. No bigger denouncers of late stage Capitalism than their biggest supporters.

They did learn, and they largely left or stopped buying merch unless it was actually proven to have been good. The ones that haven't learned are the nuFallout fans and they either won't learn due to terminal consoomery or the companies making this slop actually have Quality Assurance teams, or will learn soon enough but again the consoomery is very strong.

I don't like him. his Disco Elysium video was dogshit, he tried to do this wacky character and it reminded me of if some hollywood person tried to do a Nostalgia Critic parody. And in another video he got way too fucking person and talked about his mentally challenged son and about his own personal mental illness and it really felt like a Gen X person trying to do some Millennial "i got depression wah feel bad for me" thing and watching both of those videos in a row really disgusted me. It honestly felt like he was trying to force views to give him money through patreon by any pathetic means necessary.
The concept in general sucks, he had a couple good videos but there's only so many CRPGs and once he decided to "do this shit full time" he seemed to explode in how annoying he was.
that's crazy, i assumed that would be super easy. the kings or any simple NCR uniform gets you in by tram.
you'd think they'd just make most of the main quest unplayable until you hit where James is being held, you just have to alter a bit of dialogue to make it work. instead of living in a vault, your dad was always a scientist and raised you wherever but regardless he got trapped with that psycho because he was researching the GECK. The rest of the plot can play out normally plus fallout 3 already codes in the idea of the Lone Wanderer heading straight to the vault where James is being held captive, so just starting from there should be easy.
it really isn't most of those locations are crap like just a single shack with procedural loot. New Vegas has like a quarter of all the "locations" and once you realize you can use the sewer for even quicker travel you can knock out all the quests in literally an hour or less. In general theres actually much less to New Vegas than Fallout 3. at least in the vanilla.

I'm more offended at the overpriced FLAVORED coffee. Flavored coffee is a big red flag since 9 times out of 10 its just low quality medium beans of unknown origin mixed with artificial flavor extract and they always taste like shit. Bones Coffee is a big offender especially since people will blindly buy their shit as long it's in a pretty package or has a cross promotional brand slapped on it and give positive reviews about how it totally doesn't taste like garbage.
They're all from the same dropshipped slave coffee farms in some shithole country. No exception. Sam Hyde's coffee, the Quartering's coffee, Bones, etc. they all come from the same source. It's only just different packaging and a markup.
And flavored coffee is for fags anyways. If you really want your coffee to taste like a brownie why don't you... I dunno, eat a brownie? I know. The average soy mind cannot comprehend such a thought without ACK-ing themselves.
