Fallout series

[Tri-Tachyon'sClown]

Figure might as well while I'm shilling these kinds of mods one other mod I can recommend if you want a feel closer to the old games in New Vegas is this music mod called ATMOS-FEAR, yes that's the name. It replaces the music in the game with some dark ambient shit that's closer to what you'd hear in Fallout 1 and 2 instead of the Bethesda Fallouts.

It also inadvertently makes the game a lot more eerie in places. But with a name like Atmos-Fear I guess that should be expected by default.

Some of the tracks are kinda shit, but I dig most of them. I will say I'm not sure they fit.

@30+GameOvers Reply and quote broken, but

Capital Wasteland had Olney Powerworks, which was still powered by some sort of experimental tesla power source(hinted at to be reverse engineered alien technology, we do have confirmation that aliens crashed near DC even before the war and there was even going to be a cut Outcast quest revolving around that). We can assume that the region went back to the stone ages when that tesla coil was taken away and used to create Tesla Cannons at the end of Broken Steel. As for Boston, Fusion Cores(which are also in Fallout Tactics BTW) are self sufficient nuclear reactors that can work continuously without maintenance for over 200 years. Just don't ask why all that juice is wasted in less than 15 minutes the moment it's plugged into a suit of power armor(only in Fallout 4, as similar power sources are confirmed to last over 100 years of active use as per Fallout 1/2 description) or why one at full charge can only give you 1000 blasts from a gatling laser(or why you would need one to power it when we established that microfusion cells and electron charge packs also power similar weapons and are probably much less expensive to manufacture).

This is the most mind numbingly retarded paragraph, and it’s not your fault, but the fault of poor writing.

How the fuck does New Vegas not fit in with the older style? IIRC there’s a fair few redux versions from the first two games. Setting even that aside, the soundtrack is perfect for the game it is.

Oh yeah, one more thing I found that some here might get a kick out of.
Someone made a King Cobra companion mod. No, I'm not kidding. Feel free to hit me with the clocks if it's already been posted.
Sadly he doesn't have sound effects yet but that's apparently planned for a future update. I'm sure that will be hilarious.

Come to think of it, what Lolcow do you think would be an entertaining companion in a Fallout game?
Personally, I'd go with Phil. I think hearing him complain about how he did everything correct as he's getting bitch slapped by a Super Mutant would be hilarious. "MY GUN JAMMED! I'M PULLING THE TRIGGER! ACKACKACKACKACK, NOTHING I COULD DO DOOD!"

Does Null count? I think it could be funny having a dog that only focuses on ghouls and mutants.

Plus he's already ghoul so it fits. Gunt would also be great as a miniature super mutant companion.

Very recent too, I wonder if it was anyone here who made it. The fucker also added a bunch of cuck chairs around Goodsprings, I'll be following him from now on.

>Phil was in the middle of one of his streams when the bombs dropped
>He survived nuclear annihilation by becoming a ghoul because of fucking course he would it's Phil
Yeah, sounds about right.

I can only imagine Ralph as being similar to the original concept for Joshua in Van Buren, that being the Hanged Man. A party member who constantly gets you into trouble all the fucking time because he's always trying to pick fights with people.

That'd be perfect. I remember in New Vegas different people had different reactions to your companions. Imagine if having Ralph in your party makes it a risk to even talk to randos without initiating combat. "Never saw such a small super mutant before. What is he 5'1''?" "WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY ABOUT ME BISH? WHO'S FIVE ONE BISH??? BISH I DON'T SCARE! I DON'T SCARE!"

Also you'd have to feed his alcohol and xanny addiction. What would even be the Fallout equivalent of xannies?

You have to make sure he always has alcohol and drugs in his inventory to keep him docile so he doesn't try to fight everyone you talk to.

As for the specific drug someone more knowledgeable than me would have to say that one. I'm sure there's some drug in the series that's similar enough to xanny berries.

What the fuck is up with the track at 0:53 lmao

Right? Threw me off hard.

Anyone else here play with the "Viva New Vegas" modpack? I downloaded it all from wabbajack, its been excellent. It feels like Vanilla NV with no more mission breaking glitches plus it has patched some cut/unfinished content.

 

[Maurice Maine]

So what happened with Fallout London? It came out and no one talked about it.

oh no, people talk about it. you just need to be in the right circles. outside this site and maybe 4chan, reception seems positive or moderately mixed

I'll be completely honest with you the only site I take seriously is this one. Thanks null.

I've seen loads of clickbait "this mod wipes the floor with bethesda" videos pop up over the last couple of weeks, though none from respected rpg channels.

I'm currently playing Sonora. My character is named Ethan Ralph, because I expected "Mexican Fallout" (so far it takes place in Arizona and nothing so far made me go south from Phoenix). Of course he's Jinxed.

"this mod wipes the floor with bethesda"

Not like it's very difficult to wipe the floor with Bethesda.

 

[Friendly Primarina]

The more I think about it, I think NV was truly a goodbye from the OG team through the game's themes - especially through the DLC's. These themes being "Let go". The last speech from Ulysses about that "War, war never changes. But men do, through the roads they walk." seems like the perfect conclusion to the statement made in FO1.

Still mad that we got this drivel instead of Arizona.

I done 3 different playthroughts with that modlist.
And the DR/DT changes are the best.

My boy Grant McClellan. Tries to talk tough to muh SUBHUMAN CUNT Legionaries in a squeaky high-pitched voice and gets decked in the face. By either you or the enemy, doesn't matter. Also rants on and on about how a trans genocide will happen under Caesar. All NPC dogs are afraid of him for good reasons.
