My 3,000+ stimpaks were taken away, so I can't just run through the hazards and spam the hotkey to heal my broken limbs.
Get the stimpack vending code first by going after Christine then dump all your chips into stimpacks?
Damn, guess we gotta merge the threads.
They should have been merged once season 1 dropped lol
Predictable, doesn't really matter as Fallout 76 isn't canon and neither is the TV show.
I get you are a retarded fanboy but sorry 76 and the show are canon, grow up.
But hey, I can take something like this in stride
No you fucking can't lol, you realize we can see your long ass posts where you aren't taking stuff like this in stride?
 
speaking of which, has that concept been completely abandoned? I don't think anyone uses the term in the show
Pretty much nothing in the TV show makes sense if you try to marry it with anything in the game, including Fallout 4.
but a fan you are not and never will be
He may not be a fan but you are certainly gay.
but I really hate Dead Money, since the base game caters to a wide variety of character builds but that particular DLC demands that you build your character around it.
Not really? I have done Dead Money as a pretty generic soldier character with shit melee and stealth and it isn't much more difficult. Ghost people can be fed to Dog or just hit with a knife four times to cut off a limb. Provided you arent really shit at the game, any character can get through it.
The hope, obviously is that they only mean F76 or something
Fallout 5 will probably mention that the NCR is nuked and Vault Tec now officially nuked the planet for... profit? So expect that to come up at some point I guess. Not that it matters. We wont see Fallout 5 for like 20 more years.
more than Honest Hearts, even if Joshua Graham is probably my favourite DLC character
I personally cant stand Honest Hearts. It is extremely boring. The environment is kind of nice, I guess, but the central conflict is nothing to write home about and the actual content being pretty boring exploration and fetching annoys me. Dead Money is nice and compact, it feels like a solid side-story. Honest Hearts peaks when you talk to Graham and then spins its heels for like three hours until it ends with a pretty anticlimactic final battle.

It's funny to me that that he saw me say I wasn't a fan of the show and started sperging when on paper he agrees with that.

Anyway, Honest Hearts has a lot of issues, but people screaming about it being a white savior story kinda makes up for it. I also really like Follows Chalk and wish he could've been a full game companion or something after completion if you tell him to check out civilization. That all being said, Zion is the ugliest environment in any of the Gamebryo games. How they managed to make something uglier than Morrowind nearly a decade later is beyond me.

Also yeah the threads should've been merged from the start. Afaik no other nerd franchise thread splits up mediums like this, not even Star Wars where its games are legendary.

The endings suck too unless you do defend zion and get Joshua to let general gobbledeegook go. Honestly i hated Daniel more because he just comes off as a fool trying to pretend the world is in a different place than it is. I understand he wants to stick with his religions values but when you're genuinely considering leaving the land you think god gave you because you don't wanna defend yourselves you are a fool.

It's got a few memorable highs.
(1) Randall Clark & the coolest armour set in the game
(2) Joshua Graham
(3) The best perk-specific dialogue option in the game.

But yeah I think you're spot on.

I feel like a crazy person when Dead Money gets the most hate when a majority of the complaints tie to gameplay but everything else is stellar. I guess HH might be considered mediocre but the frustration with Dead Money surpasses it.

I wonder where the DLCs would rate for people if they all took your equipment at the start and left you with absolutely nothing.

In the show thread I'm desperate for some sort of twist that Moldaver is some kind of psycho Posadist or responsible for everything just so that retarded explanation isn't made canon. Hell, the other answer is possibly worse: House nuked the planet, or so Moldaver implies he's capable of doing in the show's 1st episode. I'll accept the NCR being nuked (Modoc will assume its rightful place as California's hegemon), just leave House alone.

Is it really white savior when the tribes are all mixed race including white? Hell the courier can be a poc if you want.

My theory is that House is playing the rest of the vault tec "nuke the world" squad by making them think he's on their side when in reality he's getting the defenses of vegas ready to save it. Mold thinking he can nuke the world is probably just her misunderstanding what his plans actually are or trying to get Coop to take him out knowing he's actually not in on the idea.
House is making preparations to keep his property (vegas) under his control while vault tec thinks they can just claim it once the bombs fall if he's truly on their side.
 
The fact that there are unironic theories that "House nuked the planet" just confirms that this TV show is not canon and anyone who takes it seriously isn't part of this fandom. Might as well be another franchise all together, far away from this one, and thank fuck for that since it saves me the trouble of having to take either it or it's fanbase seriously. Fallout 76 made that easy too, and look where it is today: nobody remembers it, nobody plays it, nobody cares about it and you certainly don't see anyone talking about it when lore is concerned.

He's a retard who thinks he is high IQ, as evidenced by pretty much every thread he posts in.

It's nice to have some trees around, but yeah, trying to create a vibrant environment on the New Vegas engine with a brutal time crunch was not a good idea.

Nobody ever sides with Daniel, yeah, so the whole moral conflict falls apart.

I feel the same way. Dead Money being the black sheep is bizarre when Honest Hearts has so little going for it. People really cannot stand getting their gear taken away, but I even think Honest Hearts is more annoying about this since it makes ME organize and stash all my shit. At least Dead Money strips me and puts it in a convenient locker to pick back up.

Honestly i would have rather gotten the ability to make Daniel realize he needs to pick up arms and defend their land over Joshua being able to show remorse. The leave zion ending slide where dan just immediately regrets his actions and is traumatized by it stung me the wrong way

I'm really hoping this is what they go for. The mind control chip-shit might possibly be the token technology he's offering Vault-tec (I'm thinking the Enclave is involved) whilst he develops the platinum chip off to the side.

I think Moldaver is who Hank was speaking to on the radio personally given she somehow survived to the modern day and is worshipped as a living God or something by the Shady Sands survivors so maybe there's some cloning shit involved which has precedent in Fallout. Keep in mind she asked him to go kill House even though Vault-tec and his wife are the bigger enemy. Killing House (to save the world in Hank's eyes, granted) doesn't actually impede Vault-Tec, who is supposed to be behind the plan to detonate the nukes anyway and would do so with Hank getting locked up or pegged as the murderer regardless. If House is, in fact, an obstacle of sorts, then it'd make sense for Moldaver to expend Cooper (who is high profile enough to get close to the "sends a body double to a business meeting now" Mr House) in removing this obstacle.

I'm all in Moldaver being pro-end the world because of Hank's logic i.e. "If we wipe out all nations, we can live in peace forever - I'll be the one to do it with cold fusion and immortality."
Think about it:
(1) She's in Shady Sands
(2) Shady Sands is nuked
(3) She appears alive, somehow
(4) Survivors believe in her divinity
In a setting where the Cult of Atom exist, and the Master's church in Fallout 1, religions have started on less.

MY main gripe with HH was the double whammy endings. If you defeat the white legs, CONGRATS the natives become raiders. If you leave Zion the natives are emotionally ruined and unable to find peace.

One of the best DLCs is The Pitt because the choices you make are both morally awful. You can help the slavers and spare a baby from being experimented on by a weirdo and a slave, all for the chance that she'll create a cure to a disease, and maybe even radiation sickness itself, all the while dooming the slaves. Or you can help the slaves and hand it over to a man who will probably be just as bad a leader as the guy you killed, all the while murdering the baby's mother and dooming it to death in a dirty makeshift lab.
Its a shit choice no matter how you slice it, but at least you realize WHAT is going to happen regardless of what choice you make. HH meanwhile tells you to fuck off because you unknowingly either created a powerful raider group OR doomed the natives to wandering forever. Not even hinting that something like that might happen is a shitty move and dumps a morally gray choice in your lap without you even wanting it.
(And yes I am aware of killing Daniel and Joshua as a third option, but no one cares about that ending)
((And no, eating the baby isn't an option))

Thats why defending zion and sparing the white legs leader is the best ending because it doesn't turn the sorrows into raiders and Daniel finds comfort that the couriers lesson of mercy might stick.
 
It is hilarious that people tricked themselves into thinking this was a legit option. Bethesda doesnt let you kill kids.
Yes and no. You can't physically kill the children you but you can directly be responsible for their deaths.

You can blow up megaton via The Power of the Atom which has (in game) 2 children

In 4 unless you go pacifistic Minutemen or Brotherhood, and don't choose to leave your abomination of a "son" behind to die in the explosion (technically not a child) you're required to blow the Prydwen up via Rockets' Red Glare & other variations of that quest which has at least 2 children off the top of my head.

Sure but like you said it is indirect. There is a world of difference between blowing something up that happens to maybe have a kid living in it and actively eating a fucking baby.
