Here we gooo. Time to see just degenerate the brits are.
 
supply lines will get shorter, making it an easier fight
Adolf Sneedler, ordering steiner's counterattack. 1st of may 1945.

NCR can't spare enough reserves to deal with major gangs, sitting around southwest vegas ruins unmolested. Meanwhile, Caesar assembled second army after his initial setback, clearly indicating a sizable pool of men. If there's any trouble at hoover dam -- that's a downward spiral for Bear from here onwards.

The Legion has flaws other than being edgy larping slavers, which may be present in-game but aren't portrayed clearly. If they decide to push into California, the NCR's supply lines will get shorter, making it an easier fight.
The NCR can't even expand north up the coast of the Pacific or have running power armor after fighting the BoS out of their home and sitting on who knows how many old world army bases.
People say NCR owns Oregon. But the only bit about it is Arroyo which is inland on the south side of Oregon. The NCR is really weak and just as technologically backwards as the Legion. They just LARP as something you find more appealing.
But all of that gets hand-waved away, or at least brushed under the rug, in favor of them being portrayed as this unstoppable force, because the game needs a villain. The Legion's writing seems to rely on "muh tough and edgy villains" as an everything-proof shield.
The Legion is just not well written and if you look at the design docs it wasn't gonna be well written. Under all the writing they gave Caesar and Vulpes the Legion is just the same band of raiders from Van Buren but this time they are all that is left of Arizona. No thought was put into how such an organization would work. The reason they are slavers is because in Van Buren they were slavers and that was a core part of the story that would impacted player. In FNV they are slavers cause slavery is bad and that's what the design doc said. Same reasoning for not having women in their ranks. The only part of the Legion that makes sense is the shunning of drugs and debauchery both as a foil to New Vegas and as something that makes them stronger with the downside of going too far and shunning medicine as well.
And it's a damn shame because you can easily give reasons to all of the Legions traits besides "they bad and the doc said they bad". Slavery is an almost natural occurrence in pre industrial agrarian society. Men only military makes sense if you fight wars of attrition as casualties will hurt less.
It's interesting how most of the things kept from Van Buren and especially when they were kept un changed made everything worse.
 
I just popped in as I was curious if London ever actually released or it fell into discord hell after that update to FO4. And is there any real reason why it should have been delayed for so long? Were they waiting on other mods to be updated for the first time in years aside from the script extender?
 
I replayed some of Fallout 3's DLCs as a test run for a livestream modded run. Here are my thoughts.

The Pitt: I wished we had more of this. It might be one of the bleakest settings in the Fallout world. So its all in all a bit disappointing how linear the whole experience is. There is the ocassional side quest but outside of collecting ingots, there arent many that stick. The moral decisions are great in paper but I think that the slavers came off as a tad too evil to consider taking their side, even if their leader has a point and he is actually trying to build something out of The Pitt...which is more that can be said for the Capital Wastelanders who seem pretty satisfied in sitting on their crack den shacks for over 200 years. The ultimate question is "Whats the cost of progress? Is it too much to pay?"

Great setting, good setup for moral ambiguity, wished there was more to it

Mothership Zeta: An extremely linear and straight forward adventure. Its basically a corridor shooter because you are just walking around the titular ship while shooting downs Zetans. There isnt much beyond that. The Zetans are an interesting threat but very shallow in terms of character. They only speak gibberish and are nearly the only enemies in the entire game. The other human characters are very interesting tho and you wished the DLC did more with them and allowed you to have them hang out with you more. One of them is literally The Sole Survivor before The Sole Survivor and his dialogue related to cryogenics and how thats a tech they were working on Earth do actually foreshadow the events of F4 a bit. You shoot shoot shoot (and suffer for not investing in energy weapons) and suddenly, its over.

It is neat exploring the ship and finding the ocassional unique weapons tho

Operation Anchorage: Still as linear as Mothership Zeta but it at least some some interesting twists with it all feeling like a COD campaign in the Fallout setting. There isnt much else to it. Its interesting how F3 had a lot of shooting galleries in their DLCs despite it having the worse shooting mechanics between it and New Vegas. It is also neat to see how this simulation isnt entirely accurate and seems like a story as told by the winners (for as long that lasted...)

The rewards are awesome and its power armor is legit the most busted thing in the game thanks to Bethesda magic. This is why I either play this DLC first or last, it depends how much Im willing to invest in my playthrough.

Point Lookout: Now this is the closest thing to an actual fleshed out setting among these DLCs. It is a location that stands out and has a decent unique atmosphere. And hell, it has actual exploration, side quests and significant lore. Playing this DLC really makes you miss having an actual fleshed out map to explore in the other ones, even if its smaller. I love the double barrel and its enemies are creepy and intriguing. And it is the only DLC you dont have to complete to return to the main game, which is appreciated.

I wont really talk about Broken Steel because it is something that should have been in the game from the start AND there isnt much to say beyond that its a New Game + of sorts that changes somethings, altho not drastically, about the setting.

Edit:
Conclusion, I was surprised to see how much linearity is in these DLCs, way more than I recall when I played them to completion as a kid. Tho maybe I shouldnt be surprised, it is Bethesda afterall. What I noticed are the lack of sidequests on nearly all of them but Point Lookout. I think that they would have helped flesh out the settings that they take place. Also, as I said, I couldnt help but notice just how short they are all things considered. I wont jerk NV's DLCs off, they do have their flaws but their game design tend to leave a more lasting impact on the player.

Overall, the F3 DLCs arent bad but it feels like they could have been done so much more with the proper writing and bigger ambition in the quest variety.
Bahahahaha they have gooner shit in this mod, I can smell it.

TERF Island was invaded by trannies before the bombs fell. The Great War was a blessing from God for the Bri'ish.

Trannies dont work in any other setting beyond that of a modern current day one. A fantasy/distant past/post apocalypse one just wouldnt culturally accept their abnormal behavior and appearance. They would definitively not tolerate any of that shit as humanity's concerns would be on things that matter and not mental abnormalities.

I downloaded the mod when it came out cause I usually browse new vegas' nexus page and uploaded it to moddinghaven, feel free to edit it if I'm missing something.
Not a matter of if, only when. The posts were getting even more autistic too.
Out of nearly 2 dozen playthroughs of New Vegas, I cannot bring myself to side with anyone other than NCR.

I can't side with the Legion, because the Legion is a faction of Nick Fuentes clones. They wear football pads and skirts. San Francisco is less faggoty than that.

I can't go independent, because I don't give a shit about the Strip or Outer Vegas riffraff. It only benefits niggers like the fiends and Khans.

Mr. House? Fuck him.

Say what you want about the bureaucrats and politicians of NCR. I side with them because I want to alleviate the burdens of the troops suffering under them, not because I care about Muh Democracy or anything.
This was the most Plebbit-outside-of-Plebbit thing I read all day. Cheers, why are 90% of NCRfags I've ever met so autistic? You can like the NCR, they're not a bad faction gameplay and RP wise. But this reads like someone who only ever played NCR and watched one or two videos on the other factions/"word of mouth'd" the other factions.

Legion is trying to replicate ancient Rome which collapsed under its own weight. And Caesar doesn't have a proper heir or method of succession which will eventually lead to another Nero or Caligula.

Anarchy is not a solution.

Utopian who talks about conquering the stars while spending all his life in his gooncave with a sexbot.

NCR is trying to replicate pre-war world with all its flaws. They already have a retard president and are all to eager to hire incompetent retards.

They all mean well but they all suck.

NCRoids will gleefully tell you about le MIC and le guns and tech, disregarding the fact that NCR is like third faction in the desert by power and influence rank. Right behind randomly generated gangsters and the fiends. This behaviour has something to do with trans-inclusive recruitment campaign, i'd reckon..
 
why are 90% of NCRfags I've ever met so autistic?
Because NCR is THE reddit faction. I've seen screencaps and videos of actual paragraphs of NCR drones there crying about Legion or talking about how House was going to fail because something something capitalism. NCR is probably the worst faction to side with in the game and gives you the least reasons to do so, but the people who do usually fall into one of three categories:
1) Normies without higher brain functions who think they're "the good guys" because the game throws them in your face all game(cannot comprehend that the game is actually giving you LESS reasons to work with them pretty much every time you interact with them)
2) Holier than thou moralfag spergs who like to dictate what someone can or cannot say or do. Rules and regulations appeal to them, as does the idea of being "the man" and "civilizing savages/liberating civilians" that don't want them there in the first place
3) People who are military vets or otherwise sympathetic to the army and don't actually care about NCR or their politics but want to alleviate the lives of troops on the frontlines

The last group is the only one who is even remotely respectable, but even then there is also soldiers suffering on the Legion's side of the fence. Why not help them, they're still human beings and they still suffer even if their leadership and beliefs are a lot more harsh than that in the west.

I'm planning on playing NV again, and I am planning to actually side with the NCR since last time I did so was in 2015, when I was doing all my achievement runs for both of the console Fallout games. I am having trouble making a character that would actually WANT to side with the NCR, which is saying something because I played as a techno-fetishist female Legion courier at one point. My best bet is making a character that's a windmill chaser, always wanting to be the hero and help people out in need, even if it means that these people will be taxed out of their minds and have all their resources taken after the NCR victory. NCR quests love to tongue your anus and tell you how much of a hero you are and how much your help means to the troops, so my character is going to get a lot of dopamine hits during the playthru, enough to justify siding with them. The idea of doing a small guns grunt/cowboy run makes me a little ill, with how generic and run of the mill it is, so I will be using mostly melee, with grenades/throwing weapons for ranged combat and a handgun as a sidearm, even if this kind of playstyle is more fitting for a Legion player.

I get your point, but after thinking about it, I could see maybe one or two troons being in Fallout; albeit in some extremely raunchy and debauched location, like Gomorrah or some Outer Vegas roach motel brothel. It is Sin City, after all.

...or West Virginia, since Fallout 76 has actual trannies in-game, not just it's playerbase lmao

Whether you're a Bethesda Baby or a Black Isle/Obsidian fanboy, we can all agree and unite under this one flag: we do NOT speak of that trashfire.

I feel like everything with Ulysses should've had more obvious foreshadowing. You only really hear about him in passing, and never by name IIRC, until Lonesome Road. His introduction feels like just this random guy coming out of nowhere, sperging about Bears and Bulls and Couriers, blaming you for the Divide getting blown up, and deciding to blow up everything else because "hurrdurr, me is mad about stuff."

Which is a shame, because Ulysses has a fascinating backstory and the Divide is an awesome setting. But it gets buried beneath all of his blah blah blah-ing about Bears and Bulls.

Funny, because /fog/ is mainly just actual F76 trannies posting screencaps of their characters and flirting with each other as if they were on discord, as I posted about here
Not something Fallout related directly, but I just opened /fog/, the /vg/ Fallout general, and the latest posts I see are some tranny BBC fetish roleplaying instead of talking about the game
If images don't load up, here is another link:
It should be noted that the general is predominantly filled with Fallout 4 and 76 Bethesda fanboys. The OP of that thread is also a fetish image where the user is attracted to one of the robots in the game, a group of people that were not in any way relevant or I have any evidence even existed within the fandom before Fallout 4.
Bethesda apologists, your response?
Fallout fandom of yesterday is different than the Fallout fandom of today, especially after the TV show. You will have to accept that those of us talking about the RPG games are in the minority(no, F4 isn't an RPG either and that's the second most popular title)

Subhumans and profligates don't get a place at the table. They get lashed to a cross.
Man, is either House or Yes Man.
NCR and Legion are fucked by both sides. And if they're dependant on you is utterly pathetic how they work.
Maybe I'll give House a try.
