I have no idea what the fuck .32 anything was doing in the Capital Wasteland. It would make sense in New Vegas since .32 was popular in the 1880's and 1890's, but the East Coast? They really, really dropped the ball there.

Comes back to no one at bethesda knowing shit about firearms. The starfield guns are some of the dumbest video game guns I've ever seen.

I can't name a single Bethesda game where the guns:

1. Look cool
2. Sound good
3. Feel fun to use

I forget who coined this term (could be ItsYaBoyBrandyBoy someone posted a few days ago earlier) but I now refer to it as "Anti-gun gun design."
Oh, motherfucker I'm silly. Snek posted a video of his which probably has that term.
 
The 10mm pistol is the one that always gets me. It's this utterly bizarre boxy, lumpy, snub nosed thing that doesn't resemble any real life pistol I'm aware of.

Why they don't just create a knock off Glock mesh and call it a day is beyond me. The 44 magnum that exists in FO3/FO4 sort of kind of resembles real life models so I'm not sure why the 10mm pistol looks like this.

Honestly I like the original Colt 6520 design for the 10mm instead, so glad there's a mod for it for New Vegas.
Yeah they totally redesigned the 10mm in the Bethesda games. Hell they don't even call it a colt anymore though I imagine that might be for copyright reasons than anything else.
Just like how the Plasma Pistol was originally a glock. Yeah, no, really. Again I'm assuming they stay away from these names now for legal reasons.

IMFDB claims it's based on a Deagle. I think it looks more like a Hi-Point.

Does that have a revolver cylinder, or am I hallucinating?

Its 100 years of use in power armor, but its been 200 years of intermittent use powering buildings. Yeah, they're not going to be the most reliable when shoved into something that has a massive drain like power armor or a Gatling laser. MF cells also deplete over time, even if they do last a lot longer than their energy cell predecessors.

Fusion Cores aren't batteries, they're self sufficient nuclear reactors. We can assume they will work almost indefinitely in proper conditions.
The only reason why Power Armor drains the cores so quickly is because Todd decided to give you one within the first fifteen minutes and this was the only way he could think of balancing it. As far as I am concerned, this is a retcon and I myself have modded it out(Infinite Fusion Cores for Power Armor was the first mod I downloaded all the way back in 2015). Gatling Lasers are an even simpler fix, I modded them so they use Microfusion Cells rather than Fusion Cores, the reload looks weird but nothing too problematic.

This model is directly based off a comic book cover

I mean, we have Tribal Power Armor from The Pitt. There's also the Boomers with their artillery and that Bomber, among other things. not to mention the Canaanites learning how to use m1911 (not called that in-game but it's that gun). I'd imagine Tribes varying in tech levels, maybe some discovering technology from various means and practicing with it. Would explain why even Raiders such as the druggie Friends can use Energy Weapons and the "raiders" of Fo4 (ffs really? Just "raiders?") can even construct PA, among other things just fine. With Nora, she's just woken up from a 200+ year stupor and can find the closest PA (either the crashed helicopter or Concord) and use it immediately with no obvious training as well as know its capabilities (inertia cancelling for example aka no fall damage, which already is an issue by itself).

If energy weapons are anything like every other American firearm design which they mainly look like they are the probably very intuitive
any half decent half intelligent person can use an Ar after about 30 minutes of training
 
Starfield is one of the wokest games I've ever seen. There are faggots everywhere and around 95% of the NPCs are black or brown. I found a planet where four out of the seven shopkeepers were gay men for fucks sake.

I'll give him this Bethesda started going downhill way before DEI really started to explode in gaming around 2017/2018 or so but it's crazy to act like progressive politics leaching into gaming has no influence whatsoever.

Nu Doom? They are the publisher and own Id so it is technically a Bethesda game.

I agree with you, but it doesn't stop the pain of what could have been and what is the destruction of the corpse that is Fallout. I absolutely love the world of pre-Bethesda Fallout (Which is funny, since Fallout 3 was my first game in the series) since it's theme is fairly unique, and despite some wacky elements you'd seen from cheesy 1950's/60's Sc-Fi, it's still somewhat grounded in reality and took itself seriously. The lore is just too interesting for me to not bring up and talk about, which is evident in this thread and outside discussion of the games YEARS after they've been released. I still talk about the politics of Fallout New Vegas for christ sakes despite it being out for nearly 14 years.

Fallout is just one of many things I've loved that got ruined. There is new stuff out there but any of it actually being GOOD that I know of is far and few.

I don't think anyone has truly described how fucked it is but they've gotten close enough, like Razorfist and Synthetic Man. If you're going to make it woke as shit you'd think these retards would hire a good writer...
 
I actually haven't played New Vegas in a long time, it was the drb0sch series that made me want to play it again. I gotta say it's definitely more fun than I remember actually. But that's mostly because I have as many fix mods installed as I can get, beyond that though as I said before most of my mods are cosmetic only.

I highly recommend the consistent weapon spread mod which apparently fixes an error that resulted in the abysmal weapon spread the game has. Always felt like there was something off with it so I'm not surprised it was a bug.

I also find many of the classic aesthetic mods to be kind of charming. Especially the UI mods.

And of course the classic style pip-boy mod.

I think another reason I find the HUD so charming though is the fact that not only does it resemble the original HUD but it also resembles the Doom hud. I'm a sucker for that kind of shit.

That's actually pretty cool, Fo2 had that kind of UI I find charming so I might check that mod out if you link it/them.
