Fallout series

Playing fallout 3 again, thr game is still fun though fallout new vegas experience sours some parts but over all I am enjoying it. There are lot of locations that I haven't explored in a while that now I am exploring makes the game more fun.
BUT FUCK THAT AGATHA BITCH!, I took empathy and I didn't used my speech check on getting more rewards as I thought I might get paid in caps. Go through the vault to get her a primo violin
Only for her to say "ummmm sweetie you can listen to granny playing the violin!" I killed her there and then.
Also one thing I miss about fallout 3 is highly lacking quality unique weapons.....but I got burnmaster which makes the whole Washington ruins my play ground.

I think this is the best quality of Ulysses because that's just stealthily shitting on Bethesda for completely misunderstanding what Fallout is about.
As in, retrofuturistic vision of building society from the rubble.
Meanwhile Bethesda just wants a retro-themed shooting gallery in the rubble

Fallout was all about that spurs that jingle jangle jingle

i hate how the game is basically unplayable since some moron thought the windows store would be a thing that would always exist and once that was gone, you have to mod the game too make it run. as for the game itself, i will admit, fallout 3 was my first fallout game and my first Bethesda game and i loved it back in the day. its just new vegas dose everything 3 dose but better. the only good weapon during early game is the hunting rifile and every super mutant is carrying one so you feel obligated to use it since you can just use their hunting refiles too repair yours.

being evil is pretty fun as well. i always nuke megaton everytime i play the game now.

Microsoft has had a massive leak and apparently a Fallout 3 remaster is in the works for 2024:

That'd be pretty sick if it was a remake, instead of a remaster. Since remasters end up just being slightly cleaned up graphics with better lighting and shit. If they actually remade it to look ad good as 4 can/does, I'd be cautiously hyped. But if it's just a remaster akin to what the PS4/Xbone version of Skyrim was, then who gives a shit? Just keep modding it to oblivion(lol) and call it a day.

Came across this video about the entire Fallout series and holy shit this guy has consistently terrible takes. So far I'm only up to the Fallout 2 section, but he's already implied multiple times that Bethesda handled the BoS and the Enclave better in FO3 than Black Isle did in FO2.

Isn't the Brotherhood in 3 explicitly different from the Main Chapter? So much so that they were basically excommunicated? They might as well just be Brotherhood in name only. Which is fine as far as I'm concerned, but if the dude is actually saying they're BETTER, yeah that's retarded as fuck. Almost as retarded as Obsidian resetting the Brotherhood to being isolationist tech hoarders who are gonna have to resort to forced reproduction and/or incest to keep from going exticnt despite 2 ending with them opening themselves up to help actually rebuild the wastes.

Honestly you'll never find a fallout video essay, or a a video essay on any game for that matter, that isn't pants shittingly retarded. The maker will always have a weird biased or dogshit take that makes you wonder "did you even play the series or are you just reading the wiki and basing it all off that?".

Or you get some autismo like PatricianTV who plays a game for a million hours to make a 12 hour video on how it's actually the worst thing ever.

Yeah, this guy is a pretty big moralfag and a lefty so he's best dealt with as background noise on certain issues and this is as someone who actually likes the guy. His Lincoln highway travelog is better and even then he'll start talking about slavery when he's in the middle of Wyoming or something.

I've noticed that the longer the video has gone on, such as him calling characters in FO:BoS racist for the umpteenth time, or constant sexism comments about FO2

There is already a mod for Fallout 4 being made that is going to essentially be a Fallout 3 remaster. Makes me wonder if they will be forced to cancel it, there is no way Bethesda will accept competition, especially under the new Microsoft umbrella.

This guy is a massive, easily upset lefty dipshit. He shouldn't be taken seriously, his cross country videos were the only ones I could stomach and even then the latest one has him groveling about the poor niggers half the time. It's funny when there is a statue in Point Lookout aimed exactly at people like him, and he, no joke, just seethes an sneeds for several minutes about it, calling everyone who lives there a backwards redneck and every other insult you would expect from a champagne socialist like him. This is even better since he does this as the footage in the background is that of him killing mutated NPCs from the DLC, implying everyone who lives there is no better than the stereotype portrayed in the game.

You're correct, the BOS in Fallout 3 are seen as very liberal and unorthodox, to the point where a whole lot of their men leave altogether(You can find them in the wastes, they're called the "Outcasts" and their only role in the game is to tell you that Lyons is a traitor)
Honestly, I'm glad BOS is so different region to region. You got the isolationist fuckers in California, who due to their retarded politics and xenophobia weakened themselves and are a shell of their former selves by the time of New Vegas, where as BOS on the East Coast are doing charity work and nobody can stop them due to distance. This leads to a rebellion, like I said, but it does end up with them winning the war with The Enclave, making them de-facto regional superpower. In Fallout 4, with Lyons dead, the Brotherhood becomes more in line with traditionalist West Coast values as well as becoming more like MidWestern Brotherhood(which accepted outsiders due to Vault Dweller in Fallout 1 proving that outsiders can be helpful to the Brotherhood, MidWest BOS acts more like a traditional expansionist army rather than being isolationists or idealists and it's even pointed out in Fallout Tactics that they're not that different from Raiders on several occasions, just better equipped. That's not that far off, as they do force local tribes and backwater towns to give them their young and food/supplies in return for "safety" and the tech Brotherhood can provide...or else. Cancelled Fallout Extreme/Tactics 2 would go even further and show MidWest BOS opening up concentration camps for anyone they didn't like once conquering the region and killing all mutants on sight, the former of which was already mentioned in original Fallout Tactics)
I can't find the information on this anymore, but it has been rumored that due to the airships and the general tone of BOS in Fallout 4, the BOS was originally going to be the MidWest one from Fallout tactics, but was changed last minute to reformed Lyons BOS from Fallout 3 so that Bethesda fans could actually recognize them. Not that unbelievable, it's already more or less them in all but name anyways.

I loved this in 4. A nice blend of the OG and 3. Complete with Maxson being a 3 character with dirext ties to the BoS founder. Dudes about as legit as yoi could get for an Elder, and it makes his Chapter legit as well. Hell didnt he even recomnect with the west coast chapter before syarting his push into the commonwealth?

What's funny is I remember countless reddit threads and gaming articles crying about how 4s Brotherhood were fascist nazis, and how they strong armed the wastelanders into helping them. Even though when you do the miscellaneous requisition quests for their armorer dude, it's an off the books thing and you have the choice of paying for the goods you take, diplomatically convincing the citizens to help, OR you can be a dick and take it by force. And these threads and articles also used the Brotherhoods disdain for non-feral ghouls as their evidence for their nazi shit, somehow. Even though every Brotherhood in the mainline games and NV have always been xenophobic towards any non human, and they don't even go out of their way to exterminate them. They give warning shots when non-ferals come too close and basically tell them to fuck off before doing so. Pretty chill all things considered. And their intense hatred for synths is pretty justified based on pretty much everything the game presents to us.

They're dogmatic as fuck but practical and logical. If you're not a Mutant or a synth, and you can be of service, they'll happily bring you on as well as keeping that old school "everyone but us is too fucking stupid to be trusted with hyper advanced tech" ideal.

4 fumbled a lot of shit, but I think it really did a great job with the BoS minus the weirdness of their Mrk 60(65?) Armour but thats pretty whatever in the grand scheme of things. Plus we didn't go back to the enclave well in any way other than the X-01 Power Armour design.

Also interesting info about the Midwest Chapter. Would be fun to go to the Midwest and see what's up there in a mainline installment.

Funny thing about the mutants bit, Tactics MidWestern BOS is actually very tolerant of mutants. They don't just admit ghouls, but also deathclaws and super mutants, even re-programmed Calculator robots. The interesting bit about them going full blown genocidal on them in the canned sequels stemmed due to one particular ending you can get in that game, which I guess would have been canon.
As for T-60 power armor, that one is actually simple: After taking Adams Air Force Base at the end of Broken Steel, they discover pre war schematics for the armor from The Enclave. They didn't have the obsolete T45 prototype models, but the Brotherhood sure did. T60s are essentially heavily armored mech units that sacrifice mobility for extra protection(Hence why T51s were still top of the line pre war). With how many prototypes there were, I guess the plan was to convert them to T60s rather than scrap them, but the bombs struck first. That's why you see some of the troops in the intro with their retrofitted armor instead of T51s, I guess the plan for BOS after 3 was to convert all their dinky T45s as of Fallout 4, and that's why they have bulkier T60 models as standard issue. It would be cool to see some T45s for fresher recruits, but there is a mod for that already.
Also, Tactics is canon in all but name, Fallout 3 and I think both New Vegas and 4 also mention an outpost in Chicago, that would be them. While Tactics came out after Fallout 2, it takes place between 1 and 2 canonically, and Tactics actually explains WHY BOS in California was so depleted and useless as of Fallout 2 when Enclave arrives, something that is otherwise never explained. Tactics is really underrated, I suggest you give it a go if you have time. It should come with all purchases of the original trilogy, or you can easily sail the seven seas and download it in minutes due to it's small size.

I'll definitely give it a go, cause I've been wanting to scratch that fallout itch lately but I've burnt myself out on the numbered entries and NV.

Unrelated but has anyone noticed the amount of fallout tubers who are some flavor of degenerate fur fag? Very strange. Very gross. They're also weirdly woke too. I don't understand how these types of people get into this series or how they manage to stick with it.
