[Gay Sex Enjoyer]

They gonna make da King as a faggot gay sex enjoyer.

Hey

 

[LovisXVI]

Something positive for a change, I am wondering what everyone's favorite towns (as a world zone) are?
Been playing through NV again and was impressed with how good Freeside feels as a world zone, lots of quests which move you around the area with multiple objectives and different solutions to the problems posed to get you over the 2k cap finish line. Really well made to purpose as a contained and miniature open world.

Novac. Free housing.

Lmao. Between the counterfeit pass, using the NCR train or even hacking the securitron, using that way? Lol.

I fucking hate everytime in Freeside some nigger thug is trying to attack me.

I use the monorail with NCR disguise via the Black Mountain shortcut, or cleaning out the Atomic Wrangler if it is a high luck character. I am talking about the purpose of all the various quests in Freeside as a means of increasing your cash if you haven't been engaged in selling loot to a serious degree and buff up your levels.

Fallout 1: only really has the Hub, so that'd be my answer

Fallout 2: Redding or Reno, probably Redding for the music alone. Reno is Reno, and I'd say it kinda wins by proxy of just having most of the content in the game. I also like Modoc's small town feel though.

Fallout 3: Megaton has always been really fun to visit and I enjoy the air plane wreck aesthetic, Picking a town for 3 is hard because most of them have like 1 quest attached to them at best. The choices are really only Megaton, Underworld, Tenpenny, and Rivet City.

Fallout NV: Easily Goodsprings, the best opening location in any of the games, and Novac is one of the few places in any of the games I wouldn't mind living in. minus the whole Legion and Ghouls thing.

Fallout 4: You're choice is Diamond City or Goodneighbor. I have the same feelings about both, but I suppose I'd pick DC because its the only real fleshed out settlement in 4.

I do want to try those full-conversions at some point. I played 1 and 2 back to back intending to go onto the full-conversions straight after, but I was just burnt out. I'll give them a go after TTW.
Olympus -> Nevada -> Sonora?

there's no particular playing order, nevada has the most content especially if you are autistic enough to get spelunking with a fucking metal detector you loot at some point or take counteroffers by local villains, it also enables about every character to play at their full potential and i was very pleased to see my character with doctor as one of main skills have it to be of great use, i also ran into a lot of options for stealth characters since a lot of quests require subterfurge skills but i am yet to play a stealth character

sonora is much better plot wise but it lacks autism of nevada in favor of being much more polished around the edges as much as answering a lot of hiccups nevada had during initial release, it also reworks a lot of core game concepts like splitting one handed weapons and two handed into their own skills

i hugely advice replaying both later as evil character since it unlocks a lot of options and makes your character to be able to find compromise with a lot of characters with same profile, in nevada you can start a fucking jazz band if you meet the big lou (guy who has been bullshitting ranch full of aboriginals) as early as possible and retain neutral / negative karma long enough by the time you get all the stuff for reno jazz band

olympus has nothing to do with fallouts outside of using their engine, its set on homebrew setting and unlike previous two its a full blown standalone game that attracted a lot of resources to the point they got some serious slavs behind stuff like space rangers and fucking fonline, they had to absolutely re-do every asset and even try to come up with their vault boy analog (which was bit controversal at the time since it was a public vote that was rerolled multiple times before agreeing on the funny orange guy)

Speaking of Nevada and Sonora, Nevada Band is now developing their own brand new RPG, which I am very excited for. Shame it won't take place in the Fallout universe, but as Olympus and ATOM RPG has shown, you can have a Fallout like RPG without the setting and it will still be fine. Russians really are the bloodline of the Fallout fanbase, the actual fanbase and not the retards that worship Fallout 4 and the TV show nowdays, the western side of the community is fucking awful.

olympus 2249 has been announced about year ago, should be done in the next assuming all stuff goes smoothly

 

[Escalating Violence]

Remember the Institute quest where they have you kill and replace a farmer so they can plant their genetically modified Gourds or whatever the fuck to see how the seeds do, and once they get the data they wipe out the farmstead and move on? These people are more retarded than the minutemen.

They could purify every source of drinking water in the area. Their robots could sweep through Boston culling every mutated freak I'm the commonwealth with an efficiency that'd make the Brotherhood coom if it wasn't being done by fucking synths. They could he curing diseases and bringing back extinct species of livestock to give people clean meats.

But no. They're wiping out entire families to grow a handful of gourds, making gorillas(how they handles nests isnt addressed), and playing God so they can make someone scrub the toilet for them.

Nuke these fucking smooth brained cunts.

It's also hilarious when you do the BoS route and when you blow up the Institute the chink doctor gets pissed "Omg nigger you killed my friends!!!11!!!." Like bitch your scientist buddies were out of touch maniacs.

 

[Cryogonal2]

That whole situation will never stop being funny. Fucking Emil trying too hard to cram in his stupid canon into the OG fallout lore and he somehow created the best character without even trying.

"Hey, Cait, did I ever tell you about the time I gunned down a member of the Canadian Resistance?"

 

[>IMPLYING]

"Hey, Cait, did I ever tell you about the time I gunned down a member of the Canadian Resistance?"

"Hey, Blue, how you doin'?"
"Lately, I've been thinking about all the Canadians I've had to kill. God. The first five, ten times you take a life, it's eerie. You remember every detail. I can see all their faces. One had a beard. Each time I pulled the trigger, I tied a little knot in my memory that no amount of whiskey could loosen. 'Course eventually, I stopped caring. Now I can put a bullet through a Canadian's head while figuring out how many Nuka-Colas to pick up on my way back to Sanctuary. It's usually no more than a 6-pack. The sick part is, I've come to love it-- snuffing out lives. Canadian lives. I crave it. I feel like an angel of death. The Messenger of Eternal Darkness. A merciless demon with an unquenchable– Oh, they just put more caps in the workbench! Got to run."

Yeah, imagine romancing Nate the Rake in the first place.

 

[El Chacal De La Trompeta]

Fallout 4 fag being retconned into a sycjo is one of the most retarded fallout things. Now if you want to talk about an unhinged maniac theres a guy called Courier Six

 

[Kether]

Its crazy how the hype around this season has died out, it reminds me of TLOU2, from peak excitement to even reddit seeming to back away, its giving me westworld vibes where people anticipate something great before season 2, and the hype dies and they're able to convince their masters to greenlight another couple seasons of slop before its cancelled and any talk about the show goes "season 1 was amazing" and thats it.

Jonathan Nolan's track record is actually pretty shit.

 

[Star Classic]

"Hey, Cait, did I ever tell you about the time I gunned down a member of the Canadian Resistance?"

This was back in like the 2070's you see, we we're running pretty low on oil and other crap I can't remember because it seemed like every week we were running out of something new, didn't matter to me. One day they put a gun in my hand and told me to shoot and I did. They rewarded me pretty well for that. Anyways, a couple weeks after we actually annexed the leafs we were doing the usual patrol stuff and these two little leafs had the gall to plink at us with crappy Chinese made pieces of junk that sounded about as sissy as they were. So of course we did the right thing and my buddy immediately pulled out his flamer and burned him on the spot. You should've seen him run off screaming! It was hilarious! Well for about a minute, then he wouldn't die and we got tired of hearing him scream so I shot him with my 10mm pistol. The other guy surrendered on the spot, but this guy had scuffed some paint of my T-51 Power Armor which was just off the line and I knew the CO was gonna chew me out for that, so obviously I had to make an example of what we do to canuck commies in the 14th Commonwealth. Anyways, we tie him up and kneel him down and he starts screaming about Geneva Convention this and war crime that, I got real tired of that so I blasted his brains out with my pistol, which my buddy found hilarious. Then I hear someone scurrying around and sure enough like roaches to food I see some limp-wristed war "journalist" had captured the whole thing. That got me put into court for a little bit, but they set me up with this smoking army lawyer and she got me off scot free, needless to say we got hitched after my trial. Speaking of which, have you noticed how much that reporter in Diamond City looks like my dead wife? Man I hate newspapers. Oh also, do you know anybody who sells fusion cells? I swear I can't find any of the things for this sweet laser rifle that I found buried up a mirelurks butt for some reason. Cait? Are you listening to me?

[Boxless]

The choices are really only Megaton, Underworld, Tenpenny, and Rivet City.

Canterbury Commons. It's really a shame that the caravaners don't have their own little spots like in Bunker Hill, but with them you have access to every trader type and an okay repairman when they're not around. Speaking of...

You're choice is Diamond City or Goodneighbor.

Bunker Hill. Sure, it's a small shithole, but unlike all the other small shitholes you can actually improve it from a starting point greater than nothing. It also doesn't need to be unfucked posthaste like every other settlement with preexisting people- Graygarden and The Slog excluded from that list for obvious reasons.

I think the fact the show switched to a weekly release schedule has tempered the discussion, Season 1 dropped like a hand grenade and people could figure out everything at once and could make a bunch of videos about it, Season 2 is drip feeding plot and lore every episode. It's not as easy to make 8 thousand videos about Season 2 since it's still airing.

Part of the problem is that 4's merchants aren't as memorable as 3's, minus Cricket. I also felt like they appeared very little compared to 3, even though that spot in Bunker Hill means you should be guaranteed to see them, but I think caravans rest for at least a couple days compared to the fast caravans of 3.

4's caravaners don't move when fast traveling, 3's do. They have the same transit rate otherwise.
They are very not memorable though, yes- and Carla can get stuck on her earlygame route (which is basically just Sanctuary and her first-encounter spot) if you encounter her wrong for the first time (or just never encounter her at all).
edited secondary note: the caravan route spanning both one of the more dangerous corridors of Boston and also half the fucking map(!!) does not help the fact that they only move when the world is actually loaded in comparison to 3's which only loop a third of a smaller worldspace with moderately less risk

 

[TheHarbinger]

It's not as easy to make 8 thousand videos about Season 2 since it's still airing.

Season one had almost no discussion about the show after the first week. It's not like Lost, White Lotus, The Pitt, or these other shows with long seasonal arcs or huge mysteries and guessing games. People have predicted practically every major plot point so far in both seasons. There's nothing really to debate or digest outside of Bethesda versus Obsidian fans whining over disrespecting New Vegas. There's no grand ideas or arcs to discuss. It's a generic show with standard plot and story beats. Other than the Fallout imagery it has little in common with the games.

There's not this huge fandom puzzling over the Ghoul's next move like Lost fans obsessing over the island. Or Pitt fans trying to figure out what the big event will be this season or what is wrong with each different patient. Or people trying to figure out who the big evil villain is when it's painfully obvious since the first season that it's the Enclave. Also the show has the same formula every week of putting the characters into a cliffhanger then immediately resolving it in the opening scene of the next episode. So there's no real suspense either. Everyone has plot armor. The Ghoul was impaled by a telephone pole and was fine. This was very predictable.

Its crazy how the hype around this season has died out, it reminds me of TLOU2, from peak excitement to even reddit seeming to back away, its giving me westworld vibes where people anticipate something great before season 2, and the hype dies and they're able to convince their masters to greenlight another couple seasons of slop before its cancelled and any talk about the show goes "season 1 was amazing" and thats it.

It's like a mystery box career instead of a show. Each new project promises to finally be the one that pays off with some incredible story. But they all end up being mediocre slop like Westworld or Fallout. But it doesn't matter because there's always the next big hyped up project.

Jonathan Nolan's track record is actually pretty shit.

Yes. But the next big IP will be given to him for free to shit all over yet again. Probably James Bond or Starcraft or whatever is on offer.

 

[Lorkhan187]

I'd love to play it, but I'm not a good GM and I've never seen a soul mention this game before.

The tragic reality of being a tabletop player is that you will find a dozen niche and interesting game systems and settings but you will never convince your group to play them unless there also hardcore nerds or directly interested in that setting. I've tried running a game for the Fallout PnP but it never went anywhere because people are frustrated get easily frustrated with more complex/older systems.

 

[Paradox Mystic]

The Modiphius 2D20 books? They're novel enough from what I've seen peeking at the PDFs online, but I've never met a soul who's actually played them.

I played it once, and it seemed like it is best if you build your character to do just 1 thing or maybe 2 if you minmax heavily. I wanted to play a tech guy with some gun skills to defend himself, and another player made a super mutant who was focused only on Melee. He took Strength 10 at creation and super mutant get a +1 to Strength.
