Stupid question, but Oblivion Remastered has mods, so who is to say F3/NV remastered can't?
Nexus has a whole page of mods.

Only because of Oblivion's existing modding community, even then 99% of existing mods are incompatible with and new mods are extremely limited and hard to make due to Unreal Engine's fuckery.

I also find it funny how they mention being Mormon despite the book of Mormon being practically never mentioned. I could just be retarded though, who knows.

I am not much of a theologian but from what I understand they are pretty terrible examples of Mormons and Mormonism plays very little in either character.

Daniel is also a bad missionary. The Sorrows believe Randall Clark was Jesus, so in a way he's hypocritical as he's arguably damned many of them to hell if they truly believe in the false prophet

Yeah thats gonna happen when you try to use local theology to convert locals to your religion that didn't factor in said theology. Daniel used Randall as an example to teach about god and accidentally created a new subsect of Christianity.

They didn't do a lot of research into mormonism and it just feels like a punchline thats also taken without question.
 
The NCR Ranger power armor from the show is capital R Retarded.
So this whole time the NCR could've provided power armor, but didn't. The show just forgets the armor is based off of pre-war riot gear. The NCR wore broken power armor but now all of a sudden an "NCR Ranger power armor" exists? Fuck off lol.

On his livestream he said he's never finished Fallout 1 or 2 but he "played the ffffUCK outta Fallout 4"

Fallout 1 takes like two days to finish, less than a week max to 100% everything. You're not a Fallout fan if you never beat the first game at least once, there is zero excuse. No surprises here, a gay, easily offended social media soyboy "influencer" who only played Fallout 4 doesn't know what he's talking about, a poster boy for your average "fan" of the franchise these days.

This has been one of the more interesting debates spawned by season 2. In game there are lines that, depending on how you read them, either imply the NCR does have actual power armor, but it's just kept in the NCR proper and not deployed to the Mojave, or disprove that the NCR has proper power armor. I'm very much of the opinion the show's NCR power armor is custom made and not a full suit of power armor produced by the NCR.

NCR has very few working suits of power armor, and they're usually only reserved for high ranking officers(like the one that gets ghoulified if you nuke Long 15). Most "power" armor is just hunks of metal since NCR are dumb niggers that don't know how the technology works, so they gut any suit they salvage off of Brotherhood so their grunts can wear them.
Also, the TV show is not canon and any "discussion" gleaned from it is irrelevant. I can't take the opinion of anyone who watches this garbage seriously.

Shady Sands got nuked (and then the collapse of the NCR) not too long after FNV.

It wasn't like they were nuked a few months ago by the time the show was set in 2296/7 which you can make a reasonable assumption that oh, maybe the NCR developed their own power armor after FNV in 2281 but no.

So that implies they were making NCR Ranger-themed Power Armor during if not before FNV which doesn't make sense since the NCR in that game was confirmed to not be able to make their own power armor and instead could only salvage it as "heavy trooper armor" from fallen BOS troops- its coal.

Its just coal.

Bethesda heckin' LOVES power armor cuz omigosh we gotta be like Gaylo!!!

edit:
Yes some high ranking NCR officials do have power armor, but as you can tell, it's just a paint job on what is assumed to be a pristine example of captured power armor. They cannot actually make their own full custom Ranger-themed Power Armor but they can just cover an existing example in a new coat of paint, which is on-brand. Same with Bear Force One, its just a captured Vertibird that they repainted and nothing more

Yeah, but maintaining power armor and airplanes isn't exactly easy. The fact Bear Force One keeps flying means they have to have some level of technological capacity, especially since they're able to create a software patch for its flight systems at the Dam itself using only the technical staff based there.

Also, Colonel Royez at the Long 15 has a suit that isn't just repainted but also has some sort of life support system given it has a health regen buff.
 
I'm started a new FO4 playthrought with the FUSION modlist.
So far, so good. And have some goodies from FNV like challenges and reputation.
 
I watched this Mormon guy react to Joshua Graham, and it was informative. There are several references to Mormonism in Honest Hearts that I would have otherwise not recognized, like the title itself and Joshua's "second baptism" by fire.

Regarding Daniel, while I don't agree with him, I do sympathize with his desire to protect the Sorrows and Dead Horses as much as possible from becoming a violent people. It's sad that there's no "good" ending for him, as he seems to always be haunted by his decisions, no matter what path he takes.

Helping him makes less haunted than helping Graham. But haunted nothingless.
But Daniel is a whinny selfish asshole.

My take is that the ncr making actual power armor with all the gizmos working was a pet project by a few engineers who realized the ncr had more to gain with proper PA but the fall of shady shands shelved the whole thing after a single suit. The way people in freeside reacted to the suit implies the ncr had more and wore them pretty often tho.

Sorry man, its canon and you cant make it otherwise. Just ignore it and move on with enjoying fallout that isn't the show. Nice triangle btw

Imo the best ending comes with defending zion and passing that final speech check with joshua. Its literally the only one he doesn't sound like he's one bad day away from offing himself
