Fallout series

I'm still a fan of being allowed to kill everyone but there's no excuse for this. If you make a action that prevents another quest from completing it should give you a "quest failed" message. I wonder if YUP et al. would have fixed this had they been installed at the time? It's not going to help you now, I'm just wondering. I don't see it in the docs. so probably not.


Nice, I hope you chose the based option (turning them back to cannibalism). Edit: Oh right, you were working for the Legion, duh.

YUP couldn't save me surprisingly enough, although to be fair I did install it after I started having issues with the quest so Its not like it could do much for me. Plus the scenario I created for that to happen is one that I doubt many people have ever actually done. Maybe one day I'll make a proper patch for it.

Lily did have this really funny piece of dialogue though. How many people can even say they've even seen this one legitimately?

EDIT: okay now I'm extremely miffed

Nu-Fallout fans are not even human. The franchise picked up a bunch of weird Borderlands runoff with 76 and the show.

What are you talking about bro? The Brotherhood of Steel and the Enclave will be fighting... again! That's pure Fallout soul
 
As of this year TES6 is entering it's 13th year of active development and the Toddster just said "It's nowhere near being completed."


I wouldn't expect Fallout 5 anytime before 2040 at the earliest and Bethesda has only gotten more technically incompetent and more woke since FO4 so the odds of it being good are basically zero.
 
I miss when developers made videos like these. Where has all the soul gone? (:_(
side note: Sawyer demonstrates why FNV's weapon mod system is superior to FO4's at 25:10 - 25:41
edit: 30:48 - 31:04 No shot this has to be a straight up attack on Howards "200 endings" quote

Maybe it'll never happen, but I hope Starfield was a major kick in the dick for Beth, enough for them to blink and maybe realized they need to try. Probably not though, Beth has like the thickest skulls in the industry up there with Ubisoft, but at least Ubisoft doesn't take 7-12 years to crap out a game that somehow backtracks from something that was already backtracking from something else.

Do you REALLY want to see what was going on at obsidian when they were making Outer worlds 2? starfield? oblivion remake?
boy, you're not going to get a soulful behind the scenes dev log like halo 2 got. where their slogan was "we make games we want to play"

your ass is going get this shit if you talked to modern devs:

Let me rephrase: I want more videos like this about games that are good.
 
I'm trying to run New Vegas and Fallout 3 using a Nipogi Aka 1 plus mini PC, which has an Intel N100 chip in it . Bought this thing out of curiosity and overall it's not that bad, for 70 bucks I can play classics like Half Life 2 and CS Source with no issues, and because it's so small I can put it in my bag and use it anywhere I want ( as long as there is a screen nearby of course ).

But in the case of New Vegas and Fallout 3 it's a different story, the games keep stuttering and lagging no matter how much I lower the resolution (currently I'm at 720p with everything set to low besides textures at medium) . Anyone know of any mods that could help improve the experience when using these low spec mini PCs ?

Earlier this year Todd admitted TES6 was in a very early state and nowhere near release ready despite being 10+ years into production.

Some people have speculated that much like Starfield TES6 was largely going to consist of procedurally generated content but the megaflop that was Starfield forced them to scrap that concept and go back to the drawing board.

Early leaks suggested that having your own ship and traveling to different islands was a significant part of the gameplay loop which seemingly supports the procgen theory.

Good. It'll sound rude but I hope that version never sees the light of day. I hope beth is scared out of their minds. I hope their passion project of 20 years utterly failing because they forgot how to make a game that wasn't a reskin of a game from 20 years ago hurts them. I don't care if I have to wait another 5-10 years if we got a Fallout on par with 3/NV or a TES on par with Morrowind, they NEED to do better.

Pressure makes diamonds, and It should go without saying that the best games of both series (Morrowind/New Vegas) were made under financial/time duress.

Plus it's been out for longer than its development cycle (14 years).

Has anyone noticed how literacy is just as much taken for granted in the Mojave as in a developed country? We know at least some of the Three Families can read because Cachino keeps a journal and someone is updating the sign outside The Tops with new acts. So who taught them? The securitrons? If they were warring tribes up to "a few years ago" (the loading screen says "a few decades ago" but there's no way Benny is that old)I can't imagine they were passing down the written word to their children.

It's not even so much that everyone can read - you could probably come up with an explanation for half the NPCs in the game. It's the fact that everyone assumes that you, a complete stranger, can read and keeps handing you notes and such. The only one who doesn't and takes precautions is Elijah, of all people.

I know it's petty, but since Bethesda Fallouts are criticized for having unreasonable/unexplained living conditions, it seems only fair to point it out. Also sorry if this has been discussed already. Searching this thread for "literacy" just brings up posts about media literacy.

My guess is they see the Pip-Boy and figure that if you can use one of those, you'd have to be literate. Or they assume that you're a vault-dweller, given that living VDs get better education than most of the postwar populace ever could, barring factions like the Brotherhood. Morons like Ricky who jack a PB off a corpse out themselves as illiterate.

Their entire world is written in English. This isn't like the fall of Rome where most peoples homes were still written in whatever backwater scrawl they shat out, EVERYTHING in Fallouts USA is written in English.

True, but it still takes time and effort to sit a child down and teach him to read. After the war parents would have been too busy fending for their lives or maybe children were made orphans. Illiterate kids go on to have illiterate kids themselves and so on. After all, the Sorrows started out English-speaking and literate, at least according to Randall Clark. Though that's not saying much given how inconsistent the writing is for the tribes of Zion.

Like I said, you could probably reason that

- The Boomers never lost their literacy because they came from a vault and set up a schoolhouse in Nellis.

- The BoS is the same deal as the Boomers, and the Hidden Valley Bunker has a classroom.

- The Great Khans: probably learned from the Followers.

- If NCR has industrialized enough to need concrete and railroads, they probably set up education systems as well, so it's not surprised that NCR citizens can read (Are there schools in Fallout 1/2? I've never played them. Serious question).

Well over half the cast. I was really only bothered by the assumption the Courier can read, but as @Cryogonal2 pointed out, there's a perfectly good reason for that,. I'm just spitballing, honestly.

we know that at least the upper echelon of Caesar's legion is literate, given the bill of sale for Boone's wife.
