Fallout series

[Pissmaster]

Don't worry about it. Basically an area in Dark Souls 1 ran like ass and I was just drawing a parallel. People say Boston has a low FPS and I'm worried it could lock my computer up. I'd hate to get into the game and find out I can't enter half the map.

I got 4 whole gigs of RAM, lol.

Jeez, man, you should put the cash towards a new computer rather than struggling to get something you may not even like to run.

Truly a curse.

I've never tried the Sawyer rebalance one, but it seems like something that'd annoy me with that man's weird ass game balance ideas. Vegas just isn't a difficult game in general, I find. Most of your trouble in the early game's just going to be a gear issue. The moment you get your hands on actual weaponry is when you can hunt entire packs of Deathclaws and take out Cazador hives if you know what you're doing. Game gets even easier after that point. You have to purposely gimp yourself to really find the game overall challenging. Changing the difficulty just fudges the numbers so you have to crit or headshot twice.

I'm playing a TTW playthrought using a modlist called WSG (Wasteland Survival Guide), pretty modular; if you don't like a mod, just disable it.
Unarmed is my jam. Killing everybody bare-handed is my song. Criticals between and you're basically god. Having a bit of struggle in early game.

Very important question, do your fists actually do any damage and have the speed they have when you're wielding an actual fist weapon?
I absolutely hated the lack of that in New Vegas so much I downloaded a really bootleg mod, that is probably shitty in comparison to everything else by now, just to punch deathclaws to death, as you rightfully should have been able to from the get go.

No. At least with TTW becames more viable with Iron First and Paralyzing Palm along with the learnable techniques.
But can't do much.

Guess I'll just stick with the mod I have now then.

Thinking of starting another playthrough for Fallout: New Vegas. However, modded up the arse. I know Viva New Vegas is a good modlist, but I am looking for more than just vanilla plus. Cut content restoration for example, and more side quests built upon the framework of the game. That fit into it seamlessly.

Going for a Legion playthrough? I used to use Legion Quest Expanded until I downloaded a mod it fucked with and have no idea which one it is. Made assassinating the Ranger Stations a thing and an option to kill Hanlon, which ironically is a better outcome than him disgracing the rangers to the point they lose their edge.

I usually go for House. NCR are a bunch of murderous hypocrites, and their taxes which make no sense. Caesar's Legion is at the height of power in their history, but Caesar unknowingly has become like Tandi. Which means once he dies Caesar's Legion won't die, but it will change until it is no longer Caesar's Legion. Once they reach sustainable prosperity in their territory. Caesar is even planning on turning them into a praetorian guard to defend citizens. Once Caesar's Legion loses that edge? It will become malleable, and through a combination of indoctrination and reeducation, their empire will become weak. They will become the NCR. Good times foster weak men. As the saying goes. It's their poor condition prior to their rise to power that made them strong. Once they win? It's all downhill from there. It might take a couple centuries, but it was not built to last.

Now with House, besides being less morally bankrupt than either the NCR or CL, he has a game plan that works. He has the pseudo-immortality to make sure that plan stays on track, and he has you if he dies. Who will have access to that same technology. An army of robots that don't need to eat or drink, and which are self-repairing. A way to bring in revenue thanks to his casinos. His reach which extends across the Mojave, and his ability to negotiate with pretty much any faction. Only exception being the Brotherhood of Steel.

Once the NCR and Caesar's Legion collapses? I imagine he will then enter into an alliance with the Brahmin Barons. Unlike the NCR? House knows their game, and won't let them exploit him. Instead he will enforce actual equivalent exchange in their contract, and won't allow them to have too much power or influence in his territories. He will take what he needs from them, and keep them on a tight lease.

the problem is that FO3/FNV pulled shit like morrowind where you dice roll in fucking action while the enemies don't and will tear ass, the best way of doing this is doing shit like Drakensang where you queue your actions during the action itself.
modding the faggot dice rolls out of FO3/FNV/Morrowind should be mandatory but faggots will try to say that's not the true way to play the game, nigger if i wanted to dice roll i wouldn't buy a fucking computer in the first place.

I'm not one for a man whose interests regarding mankind's future are almost entirely based on his ego. No one is truly the right answer as they work to varying degrees, but I prefer the brutality of the Legion over the hypocrisy of the NCR and short-sightedness of House.

House is definitely not short-sighted. His game plan is set on humanity leaving Earth, because it's no longer sustainable. Everything he is doing is for the sake of that goal. Which includes his accumulation of wealth, consolidation of resources, and his investment in advanced technologies that he is willing to share unlike the Brotherhood of Steel. Everything is planned ahead of time, and he was even the one who anticipated the Great War. It's why the Mojave is mostly intact. He managed to stop most of the nukes with his laser defense system.

He has got the brains, and with your help, he has an army that can never tire. An army that can repair itself, and which requires no amenities. That is outfitted with machine guns, laser weaponry, grenade launchers, and caches of missiles. To say nothing of the fact they have a reinforced titanium chassis making any small arms useless against them. On top of that they cannot disobey, and are obedient by design.

If Courier 6 helps House get control of the Mojave it's inevitable that he would win. It's just a matter of time, and his trusted lieutenant can expedite it.

Earth is perfectly sustainable. Then more than ever, really. The Mojave was already a wasteland, so it's not saying much. A lot of people like to hold House up as some super genius, but he's middling at best. His genius only really shines through in his robotics design. The man's no statesman, biologist, physicist, geologist, nor psychiatrist. He's not even journeyman in any of those fields. Everything about his supposed intellect falls apart when you consider the key to his success: you.

If one piece on the board is all it takes for you to lose, you're not actually worth much, much less strong.

Worth remembering that while House is highly intelligent, his single highest stat is his 10 Luck. He's not so much a genius as he is a savant at gaming out probabilities. And, of course, his luck can fail him right when he needs it most ... such as the Platinum Chip being scheduled for delivery the same day the Great War broke out. Appropriate, for the ruler of Las Vegas.

While I agree, (and they will, don't you worry.), I'm very curious how Wasteland 3 leads to boring. Do you mean gameplay wise?

Cus two early game factions in WL3 are a psychopathic religion of clowns (literally clown world before it was a thing), and a bunch of fuckheads in old Universal Monster outfits, IIRC, called the Monster mash. If you want silly, there it is.

I didn't get that far in Wasteland 3, was mostly talking about 2. 3 Sounds a lot more fun.

It is a radioactive wasteland full of ghouls and FEV monsters. It's not the kind of place you want to live in, or for humanity to stay on. Finding someplace else to settle is better than trying to salvage a lost cause. The most you can manage is a shadow of what civilization used to be, and even then life expectancy isn't exactly high. You either end up living like the tribals, or a poor man's version of America at the point where it is the most corrupt. Democracy having backfired completely.

Courier 6 is literally a one-man army and death incarnate. More along the lines of a vengeful spirit than a human being. Losing against him is not a point against Mr. House. Literally everyone on Earth would lose against Courier 6. Except maybe Frank Horrigan, and even then Courier 6 beat somebody with the same kind of S.P.E.C.I.A.L stats as Frank. Ulysses. So, you could argue Courier 6 could also beat Frank. Especially considering the fact that Ulysses was hardy enough to survive being at ground zero of a thermonuclear detonation.

Take Courier 6 out of the equation? There are only two possible victors. House or Caesar.

Wielded by death incarnate. You don't beat Courier 6. By the end of the game he is basically a mythological figure.

Get JSUE, which is a bit different. Honestly the thing about New Vegas is that there aren't a whole lot of heavily-armored enemies. No Talon Company or Enclave, and even metal armor is uncommon, with the vast majority of your enemies wearing merc and raider armors. The 9mm pistol does 16 damage, which means only a quarter or so of its damage gets stopped by those low-level armors, and if you snag Grunt even less than that. It fires fast, its durable, the ammo is cheap, has no real requirements to use, and is common so there's plenty of spares to use for repairs. You go through Honest Hearts and snag A Light Shining in Darkness and you're fucking set for 90% of your foes, especially since that thing can fire off almost a thousand rounds of +P ammo before breaking, 249 rounds or 41 full mags before you drop to 75%. At 33 base damage even combat armor will stop just over half your damage with FMJ, +P means they take 19.3 damage a hit, so mag dumping a guy will deal 115 damage. You're killing most raiders in one or two shots, too.

Yeah, I get that House is a great visionary but at that point this question comes up: why not just get Courier 6 to do it? House talks a big game about how he's going to transform the world and get us to space but paying attention to the details reveals a pretty simple plan.
1) Get robot army
2) Fleece off your tourist trap to build a rocket
3) go to space.
I might be oversimplifying but we've got the bullet points nailed down right there. A courier who wants to see this plan for off can easily do this just like House and get the profits to themselves in that case just like anyone else without having some beef jerky asshole bossing them around especially since the tech sector is rebuilding already regardless of what house is doing. The NCR has the OSR, the followers of the apocalypse are major tech junkies who would gleefully give themselves up to somebody who will sponsor them and the mojave brotherhood of steel are in more of a position to reform than we give them credit for, especially under McNamara.
