Fallout series

[Campbell_Trio]

i think they added the system to pander for the autists that want to play civilization or cities skyline in a mad max setting, albeit with everything looking green and dull.

I mean for autists who want to do that they need to install multiple mods like sim settlements and the like so i dont think bethesda did a good job at that

 

[Prophetic Spirit]

Just look at how they handled fallout 4 and 76, shit was rigged from the start. The best selling games in the franchise and also the most insufferable pieces of garbage media you can experience, down to the last minute. Seriously, i had more fun playing Tactics than i ever had with 4. The worst part of it all was the Nuka World DLC, why the hell would they design a raider-based questline like that?

The wacky Borderlands bootleggers? Yeah.

The settlement system would've been fine if the game didn't force you to engage in it constantly to unlock basic shit, you can't even assign settlers to manage resources and build stuff for you, i think they added the system to pander for the autists that want to play civilization or cities skyline in a mad max setting, albeit with everything looking green and dull.

For a long time i dodged that specific building system but it is only worth in Survival mode, when you must need Purified Water.

 

[Campbell_Trio]

I'm still annoyed that none of the improvements to settlement building that 76 has never got backported to 4.
It would be so much easier to do anything building wise in 4 if that free cam mode from 76 got added

Don't care, didn't read. Typical Bethesda subhuman tourist, throwing a temper tantrum

Seriously, i had more fun playing Tactics than i ever had with 4. The worst part of it all was the Nuka World DLC, why the hell would they design a raider-based questline like that?

Nuka World was fine, problem was that they half-assed the main quest with the Raiders. They should have been integrated as a 5th faction you can do the main quest with, you know finding the Institute, destroying other factions, that sort of thing. Doesn't help that the main meat of the second half of their questline, raiding the Commonwealth, is half-assed altho I can tolerate it because I modded the game to be able to raid every single settlement and to still keep control over the vassal settlements. Shame, Nuka World could have been fantastic, as is it's just great, at least by Fallout 4 standards, the only genuinely good bit of content that game has by any other standard is Far Harbor and even that is unfinished to holy hell.

The settlement system would've been fine if the game didn't force you to engage in it constantly to unlock basic shit, you can't even assign settlers to manage resources and build stuff for you, i think they added the system to pander for the autists that want to play civilization or cities skyline in a mad max setting, albeit with everything looking green and dull.

The settlement system is a waste of time as it genuinely provides little benefit to your average player, unless they want to farm XP by spamming wooden posts or getting retarded amount of purified water(useless outside of mods that focus on crafting or survival mode). I had to mod my game to add scavenging benches that give resources when assigned so I can essentially turn settlements into factories, and even then it is a very niche playstyle that takes a long time to set up, by the time you get enough factories going you probably have enough scrap for most of your modding needs anyways. I was hoping Starfield would improve on this system, but somehow it ended up being even worse and more barren, probably because it was halfway to being cut from the game anyways.

Don't care, didn't read. Typical Bethesda subhuman tourist, throwing a temper tantrum

Don't bother responding to me, I have zero respect for anything you say

Zero respect for me but will let me continue living rent free, what a great landlord

Nuka World was fine, problem was that they half-assed the main quest with the Raiders.

The problem was how it was a dlc made for evil characters in a game where there isn't any karma nor a reason to care about good or evil choices.

 

[JDVanceBiggestHater]

I mean for autists who want to do that they need to install multiple mods like sim settlements and the like so i dont think bethesda did a good job at that

Which is funny because Sim Settlements is just as shitty as the normal settlement mode, people can mod the hell out of a game all they want, if that doesn't fix all of the flaws or somehow manage to break the game even further, it's time to stop and think about why they're wasting time trying to polish a turd in the first place.

Nuka World was fine, problem was that they half-assed the main quest with the Raiders.

They half assed everything about The DLC, seriously. Bradburton chopping his head and fusing himself into a mega pc that doesn't do anything? Him owning a X-01 power armor before it even became a thing during the events of fallout 2 and also the thing sitting at a display all immaculate and with special upgrades? Nuka Cola getting turned into some kind of secret makeshift nuclear based ammo and explosives by him with the help of the USA government and people drinking the shit out of it without consequence? incompetent Raiders that are too busy doing jackshit but manage to convince (threaten) a goody-two-shoes valt-dweller supersoldier into being their leader despite them being backed by the most powerful factions in the wasteland? (if you side with Bos or the Institute at the end). and the theme park setting is just the icing on the cake.

 

[Elf Supremacist]

They half assed everything about The DLC, seriously

Well, it's a Bethesda game, that's what they're best at, ignoring lore, having retarded stories, making the player do tedious bs for (reasons).

Nuka-World is fine if you just kill all the raiders and explore a soda themed Disney land for fun. At the end of the day it's just a miniaturized Bethesda Fallout game, separated areas with quests that don't tie into other areas (much), all zoned off from each other with lots of "hey wouldn't it be cool/funny if..." design choices.
Bethesda would be great at theme park design if they didn't make so much money sucking at game design and story telling

 

[>IMPLYING]

True, more canonical than Fallout 3 or 4 will ever be too. Really underrated title, thankfully most of the retarded hanger-on tourists and Bethesda babies are either unaware of it or get filtered out by the first mission so that game is relatively safe from the plebians. We can name these plebians, in fact, just by looking at your dislikes.

Season 3 of the TV show is going to Colorado.
It'll be funny (to me) if the TV show is what ends up canonising it indisputably because Bethesda insists the show is canon.
Either that, or Fallout Tactics saves the show from being considered canon because Bethesda doesn't want to hard-confirm Tactics as being canon.
Though you can quintuple down on the show not being canon if the Enclave base is in the Cheyenne Mountains and there's no Vault 0.
But no Tactics = no East Coast Brotherhood & Prydwyn, which means no Fallout 3 or 4 since it's the midwestern BoS that Lyon's Brotherhood is descended from.
So the show outright making Tactics non-canon would also self-destruct the TV show's canonicity in the eyes of Bethesda by making their own games suspect.
This might mean the TV show touching or making Tactics outright canon might save the rest of the franchise from acknowledging the existence of the TV show.
In other words, true fans will appreciate Fallout Tactics for saving Fallout from acknowledging the show as actually canon, making Tactics the game that died for Howard's sins i.e. solidifying Fallout Tactics as being Jesus Christ.
Silver lining: more people, fans or tourists, will have to learn about Fallout Tactics.

Beth- I mean, The Institute just apparently dont want civilization above to go beyond crack sheds because that could possibly represent a danger to them..."eventually". This faction never made sense when you began to think about the world building and thats the key, Bethesda hates that you think about world building beyond flavor text. At least in TES, you could make an excuse why thousands of years go by and society didnt advance much technologically, but for a more "grounded" series like Fallout? It becames harder to justify without intense retcons to bail you out.

I ranted about it before but from the snippets we saw in Fallout 3, it was clear "The Commonwealth" was something more, with a regional police force and everything. Even the Railroad was implied to be somewhat larger in scale given they can just have random members of the organisation shadow escaped synths. Also, you do not call somewhere "The Commonwealth" if there wasn't at least some foundation of regional cooperation between many independent nations/cities/towns etc. The Minutemen almost seemed like a way to retcon what they might've been going for when they introduced the Commonwealth in 3. It's a bit obvious in this regard that they changed something in the end

Spoiler: Handful of Fallout 3 timeline incongruities.

I like the theory that Bethesda was originally going to set Fallout 3 a lot earlier in the timeline, but changed their minds for some reason (probably to help facilitate the inclusion of the BoS). Even the inclusion of the FEV choice at the end feels like a tacked on reference to 2 given how easy it'd be to cut it from the came entirely and have the whole end-sequence play out the same. What's even more ridiculous to consider is that it was always going to be in the game, and Eden's FEV might've been implied to be the basis for the FEV in 2.

Whilst this theory is all on the shoulders of Little Lamplight (2 centuries of living in a cave lmao + the recent tone Jonathan describes their history with) there's a few more details that make less sense the further you dwell on them:
1) Pre-war food still being found and eaten after 200 years. I've watched SteveMRE, I know some shit has a long shelf-life, but the packaging would spoil before the food does. Pork and Beans enjoyers would be shit out of luck. Funnily enough, another way Fallout New Vegas helps to canonise Fallout 3 is by having the Caravaneer's Lunch making Pork and Beans a part of the recipe.

2) Tenpenny getting to the USA at all. The writer's said this was to help emphasise how fucked the UK was, but shouldn't that make Tenpenny getting to the USA even less likely? Also wouldn't he have stopped in Canada, since it's closer to the UK than the USA is? Or is that also to imply Canada is worse off than the US is?

3) The Naval Research Institute being the ones to found Rivet City.


This is similar to the Institute being founded by remnants of a university collective in 2110, which is a marginal improvement since it's within the possible lifespan of members who composed it pre-war. Rivet City was founded in 2239, meaning the NRI would have to persist for more than 150 years after the end of the war.

Keep in mind they were based out of D.C. and outside of Megaton there's no other major civilian settlement. These organisations would not persist for centuries after the war without some foundation ensuring their operation, never mind being composed of the best minds. Harkness was able to find a surgeon and mind-eraser-guy in Rivet city because the guy doing it found it trivial, which would make sense if the person was already familiar with the technology, which would' require some knowledge of the parts which doesn't make sense unless the technology itself was easier to come across. It took James 20 years and an intact Vault to find out what a G.E.C.K is.

This could show some disparity with pre-war and post-war knowledge that simply made it into the game and was let be. At some point in development Bethesda probably pushed the setting a century or two into the future to facilitate more quests and plot. Abraham Washington's mistakes about U.S. History make less sense the closer the timeline is to the bombs dropping, for example (especially if the NRI founded the place to begin with and had pre-war knowledge that could be accessed by the residents of the city).

4) Ghouls. An easy example. Sans ferals, they look more human in Fallout 3 than they look in 1 or 2. In 1 they're so old and rotten that they have to be held together on occasion. Sometimes an eye has simply fallen out. In 3, they're more or less still together just with rotten skin. Most of them, mostly the girls, still have hair.

5) The Stradivarius. Not one many consider, but how Agatha knows of it is incredibly contrived.

Great-great-great grandmother's sister's letters (on paper)
Like with Little Lamplight, Agatha's familiarity makes more sense the closer you are to the bombs.

There's more but I've spent too long on this. The long and short is: Bethesda had set their mind on being shortly after the war, before yanked their games story as being set long after it, despite still treating the setting as being shortly after it. I'd even argue they still did this with 4, given the Institute doing fuck all for 170+ years means any arguments you can make for them "offering the Wasteland a future" don't work given they did nothing for so long. It makes sense if they were still in the teething stage of getting established, but it makes less sense after existing for so long and doing nothing with it. Their stagnancy implies they have no objective for what they're doing, when:
1) newly established (shortly after the war, possible if Bethesda's Fallouts were prequels)
2) maintaining stability of their territory (long after, possible with 3's allusion of the Commonwealth)
Already exist to give purpose to their currently dumb existence.
Even the kid in the fridge quest is more plausible if there's less time between the bombs dropping and the game it's set in.

Much of Bethesda's handling of Fallout and poor writing can be explained given the schizophrenic relationship with time they treat it with. The games are simultaneously set in the past and present and it's a coin toss over which is which. I think 4's main story works as a disguised prequel to 3 if you turn Elder Arthur Maxon into Elder Jonathan Maxon and have him come into Boston from the West and not the North (maybe it's after their raid on the Pitt, which was under a different, unnamed Elder other than Lyons). Remove all references to 3 (there's surprisingly few) and instead you got a scenario where a teething Institute hasn't yet established itself over the rest of the Commonwealth. From there you need to tweak and add a lot more, pretty much write an entirely different plot but shit is less ridiculous when there's not more than a 200 year gap in-between stuff.

Fallout 76 is Bethesda's desire/true intention to set the series further back in time begging and screaming to be let out.

Also, as an autist who effort posts on the regular, I appreciated what you had of your post. It's preaching to the choir to say the show is a mess, especially in this thread, but I don't think it can be overstated how badly the show is brought down by its own characters not giving a shit about anything. Letting the Ghoul hang to try and talk down the Khans was a bigger deal than the writers probably realised. The show also does something similar again later, when it has the Ghoul remain impaled in the middle of Freeside for a whole day with nobody even sparing him a glance. There are posters in this thread who have desired total ghoul death who'd at ask if he wanted to be shot in the head or something rather than continue to suffer and eventually go feral. You'd think this would peak with the woman not giving a shit her son was kidnapped and murdered but no, now entire towns are callous and not worth saving. This comes to a head in the finale when the entire town sans one guy (who proposes but still doesn't go) would rather bet on whether Maximus will survive the Deathclaw onslaught, knowing his death would mean their own too, rather than save their fucking town.

One other thing about the Khans in episode 1, and their subsequent mention in episode 3 (they're at war with the Legion), is that this more or less confirms the Khans went to Wyoming, not Idaho. It also means they'll probably be in Season 3 given Wyoming borders Colorado. Or they won't be mentioned at all and the Legion somehow has zero presence in Colorado.
Bonus points if the Legion were created by the Enclave now lmao.

Defending The Ghoul's name: The Ghoul's not his name, it's the one marketing uses. I don't think Cooper has already shared his name with anybody. Only Mr House refers to his ghoul version as Mr Howard.

So the show outright making Tactics non-canon would also self-destruct the TV show's canonicity in the eyes of Bethesda by making their own games suspect.

Nah, they`re gonna pull the Toriyama card and say EVERYTHING IS CANON, GUYS! And then reddit will drown in the Soy paste and form countless brigades to own the CHUDs. I also can`t wait for Season 3 where they introduce Eldritch horrors beyond comprehension and say that Mr.House sold the world to chtulhu in order to get the knowledge required to enslave humanity under capitalism once and for all (Also Fuck ICE).

 

[The handsome tard]

Spoiler: This

This image summons it up.

What is "it", you ask? Why the show, Bethesda, Amazon, literally every fucking soy drinking leftist worshiping tourist

THIS IMAGE...is the confirmation that this season, fuck, this SHOW is a hate letter towards Interplay and Obsidian. That Bethesda has officially destroyed everything in the spiteful petty hope that this will magically make Starfield suck less.

It has been character assassination after character assassination but oh no, chud, you are the wrong one, you are the "not a real fan" as said by the wretched wicked disgusting nihilistic ever consuming masses who dont care for anything anymore, except to bring you down to their pathetic slimey level. They dont care, they dont love, they dont create, they dont invest, they dont share. They are eternally hollow and will spend all their lives seeking to fill it until the only hole they are filling is that of a grave. They are born and then they are dead. Only a beginning and an end, no worthwhile middle.

You arent allowed to dislike anything anymore, or else be branded a "toxic fan" at best or one of the many isms a good chunk of the population has been brainwashed into making part of their lexicon.

It doesnt matter that Caesar would never write this dumb ass note, ever, a man like him would want to make sure his Legion lives forever and that was his goal in FNV, to get Hoover Dam, take over Vegas and make it into his new Rome. This makes absolutely no sense but who cares, am I right? Ceasar was a big meanie and he was obviously a chud so who cares his character gets destroyed with this single note? And tourists/fake fans will STILL defend this SOMEHOW, even unironically throwing their old reliables, that "X character was lying to The Courier.".

Thats their explanation, that everyone was bullshitting The Courier, consequently us, the players, nothing that was said and established truly matters, NOTHING. It was all lies but now, ohohoh, NOW this is the TRUE and HONEST version of events and you will accept it OR ELSE.

Bethesda knows that worst case scenario, they completely lose any veterans that were still around but they absolutely do not care, why should they? They have an army of consumer leemings that will continue to defend them and consume their products to the end of time because in this godless society we have, people are so entrenched in their learned helplessness that they might as well consume product because they have faith in nothing, not in themselves, not in society, not in culture, not in their fellow men, not in even God so it is really about finding and consuming distractions until the grave's calling. Thats it. A populace so hopeless and demoralized that they will have no choice but to consume product because the alternative is just more fatalistic misery.

But it blows my mind how people who should know better just...dont. Even if you dont give a shit about the lore, surely you would be able to tell you are being exposed with peak nonsense, right?

I legit see more tourists with surface knowledge and experience defending this show than normies with none of those whatsoever, hell I see more criticism from the latter that this is all just a poorly told badly paced story and their POV is the most unbiased since they do not pretend to know and care about the source material so they see it for what it is.

This series truly is the spiritual sucessor to The Last Jedi*, argurably even worse because at least TLJ was only around 2 hours while this series will just keep going how ever long Amazon and Bethesda want it to go so the only escape from the torture is just to disconnect yourself from anything Bethesda has touched and try to pretend to live in a world where all we got was F1/2 and NV. Tho I do wonder if eventually we wont reach the same point where even tourists will need to stop pretending, like with TLJ as well.

S1 was a hate letter towards F1 and 2, S2 was one towards NV. There are no ifs or buts. All they did was to show nearly all factions being gone or just barely present.

And what we are left with in the finale? Apparently some remnants of the NCR do exist (which Reddit will use as ammo for god damn sure to throw the "uhh they didnt actually destroy all of NCR so the nuking was actually a good thing...somehow") but oh no, the Legion is coming to destroy whatever is left of Vegas for...whatever reason. Which is funny because there are only like, 20 legionaires left so unless they pull more members out of their ass, not only taking on them should be pretty easy so its not exactly a "cliffhanger stakes".

There is absolutely no hook for S3 because its all heading up towards more BOS and Enclave masturbation that even a good chunk of bethesda Fallout players got sick of but it is their old reliable to have these two fighting over the ashes of the old world even 200 whatever years later. Oh and apparently we might be getting LIBERTY PRIME, tho not the original one, a new one who will def. not dare to throw any anti communist slogan (for no reason whatsoever). Just...who are we left to even root for at this point? Our main characters walk the fine line between being just barely likable to being full only villain protagonists (who just happen to be facing enemies worse than they are). And its all hidden behind the excuse of "oh the wasteland is morally grey", which is one of the biggest writing copes in modern history because it is preached by people who either do not believe morality is a thing or only believe in THEIR OWN SELF SERVING version of it so it ruins the whole point. They dont understand that it is plenty possible to have characters with questionable actions but still being likable, right? We have mountains of stories with characters of grey morality that still come off as likable and engaging to follow.

*Ah yes, did they think we wouldnt notice?





Its literally Finn and Rey again, right down to the "will they or wont they"

Nuka Cola getting turned into some kind of secret makeshift nuclear based ammo and explosives by him with the help of the USA government and people drinking the shit out of it without consequence?

But muh late stage capitalism commentary, chud...

incompetent Raiders that are too busy doing jackshit but manage to convince (threaten) a goody-two-shoes valt-dweller supersoldier into being their leader despite them being backed by the most powerful factions in the wasteland? (if you side with Bos or the Institute at the end). and the theme park setting is just the icing on the cake.

My Sole Survivor arrived, took one look at the place, turned to his Minutemen army composed of mfs armed to the teeth with the finest weapons and armors and only gave a single command

"One minute and this place better be cleaned up. I'll go get some cotton candy."

Spoiler: Replying to IMPLYING (heh)

Silver lining: more people, fans or tourists, will have to learn about Fallout Tactics.

You know as well as I that they aint going to be doing none of that beyond just watching Oxford videos about it so their understanding of it will be twistedly superficial.

This comes to a head in the finale when the entire town sans one guy (who proposes but still doesn't go) would rather bet on whether Maximus will survive the Deathclaw onslaught, knowing his death would mean their own too, rather than save their fucking town.

"This is our town! Lets fight for it!"
"Eh, I aint doing any of that"

I want, in Fallout 76 of course, strangle Deadpool, Joss Whedon, Rian Johnson, whole MCU and any mf that helped install this writing trend. Subversion for subversion sake is not funny.

One other thing about the Khans in episode 1, and their subsequent mention in episode 3 (they're at war with the Legion)

And yet we are suppose to be afraid of The Legion where apparently they still havent been able to wipe out the Khans? Lol lmao even.

Letting the Ghoul hang to try and talk down the Khans was a bigger deal than the writers probably realised.

I already ranted how just stupid the scene was, even more if you remember Lucy is suppose to be the "good karma" lead. And that wasnt even like a "distract them" plan while The Ghoul gets out on his own when they aint looking, she simply paused the plot to womansplain in front of a bunch of raiders who wouldnt hesitate to start shooting and bolt towards the dino to get to her. And then it happens AGAIN with the Legion! Lucy somehow doesnt get any consequences it twice!

There is a lot of potential in having the "neutral/bad karma" veteran clashing with the "good karma" vault dweller, there are a lot of fanfictions around that dynamic but The Ghoul and Lucy seems to always be going between showing signs they are making an actual kind of partnership to constantly being at each other's throats and backstabbing each other. I could even forgive The Ghoul selling her to slavery in S1 if he and her would just start actually getting a bit along.

Its just a tiresome back and forward that resets their relationship back to zero each time it happens.

this more or less confirms the Khans went to Wyoming, not Idaho. It also means they'll probably be in Season 3 given Wyoming borders Colorado

If they appear, just expect its more surface level member berries because, hey, the Khans are a recognizable raider faction (cuz Bethesda hardly has any lol) so might as well plaster their logo everywhere, doesnt matter it doesnt make sense.

There are posters in this thread who have desired total ghoul death who'd at ask if he wanted to be shot in the head or something rather than continue to suffer and eventually go feral.

Im still struggling with the fact that, apparently, ghouls are now unstoppable unless shot in the head (or not as we have seen ferals dying through non headshots so who the fuck knows).

Im expecting The Ghoul to get chopped in half at one point and still recover from that by simply "stitching" himself together and Reddit will still defend it.

4) Ghouls. An easy example. Sans ferals, they look more human in Fallout 3 than they look in 1 or 2. In 1 they're so old and rotten that they have to be held together on occasion. Sometimes an eye has simply fallen out. In 3, they're more or less still together just with rotten skin. Most of them, mostly the girls, still have hair.

Honestly, the ghouls in 3 and NV are the least "wrong" Bethesda got wrong in their take. I guess because I know it gets worse (or rather, better looking) but F3's look never bothered me much, even when compared to the classics.

But yeah, ghouls are meant to look like ghouls, zombies.

Defending The Ghoul's name: The Ghoul's not his name, it's the one marketing uses. I don't think Cooper has already shared his name with anybody. Only Mr House refers to his ghoul version as Mr Howard.

Still a dumb title

, they`re gonna pull the Toriyama card and say EVERYTHING IS CANON, GUYS!

Actually the Toriyama card is "Oh! I forgot, lol"

 

[Campbell_Trio]

Bethesda would be great at theme park design if they didn't make so much money sucking at game design and story telling

This is why they did that bethesda land e3 theme once.

Either that, or Fallout Tactics saves the show from being considered canon because Bethesda doesn't want to hard-confirm Tactics as being canon.

But no Tactics = no East Coast Brotherhood & Prydwyn, which means no Fallout 3 or 4 since it's the midwestern BoS that Lyon's Brotherhood is descended from.

I think Bethesda just wants to make the main story and events from Tactics non canon but the midwest bos still exists, i don't think there's anything preventing the midwest bos from existing without the main story of Tactics being canon. All they really need is the midwest bos existing and can handwave anything else away.

Silver lining: more people, fans or tourists, will have to learn about Fallout Tactics.

That meme got a good chuckle out of me

The long and short is: Bethesda had set their mind on being shortly after the war, before yanked their games story as being set long after it, despite still treating the setting as being shortly after it. I

Setting fallout 3 closer to 1 and 2 would solve a lot of world building issues people have especially if the water crisis the CW is dealing with was actually a matter of importance to explain to the player. Honestly im tired of people giving the state of the capital wasteland a pass cause "muh capital hit harder than the rest of the country" or "muh water crisis" since one isn't actually explained in game and the other is barely a factor unless you hang out near the megaton water begger 24/7.

Even the kid in the fridge quest is more plausible if there's less time between the bombs dropping and the game it's set in

Except the whole schrodingers ghoul anatomy on if they need food or not

This comes to a head in the finale when the entire town sans one guy (who proposes but still doesn't go) would rather bet on whether Maximus will survive the Deathclaw onslaught

Reminds me how Michael bay transformers had optimus do all those speechs about how great humanity is despite us only being shown awful trashy people.

Its literally these Finn and Rey again, right down to the "will they or wont they"

At least finn and rey had some chemistry and talked to each other when reunited. It's also funny how these two are pushed as a couple yet lucy is shipped more with Coop.

Nah, they`re gonna pull the Toriyama card and say EVERYTHING IS CANON, GUYS!

Dragon ball at least has the excuse of alt timelines and universes so everything being canon works without actually impacting the main series. Fallout is just multiple different contradictory lore facts in a trench coat

 

[Elf Supremacist]

There's more but I've spent too long on this

I genuinely love your autistic walls of text about Fallout 3 and 4 showing signs of being set way earlier. I never knew any of this and your theory is something I consider as fact

 

[LovisXVI]

Except the whole schrodingers ghoul anatomy on if they need food or not

Not even, they explicitly say they do, and only F4 points towards not. F1 has water as vital for Necropolis, F3 has the shyster water seller in Broken Steel at the Museum of History, FNV has Harland in Repconn, saying that he has been surviving off condensation and radroach meat.

 

[Übertroon]

e settlement system would've been fine if the game didn't force you to engage in it constantly to unlock basic shit, you can't even assign settlers to manage resources and build stuff for you, i think they added the system to pander for the autists that want to play civilization or cities skyline in a mad max setting, albeit with everything looking green and dull.

They added it because one of the biggest mods for Fallout 3 was a settlement building mechanics

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/7070

It's crazy that I don't see more people talking about how they just copied something from the mod community

Quite literally the "look how mad you are" meme. He can make great posts (because he has several times) but he insists on being a sperg who can't calm down when someone even mildly disagrees with him, then no one wants to engage with him anymore and he's banned from 30+ threads.

There's a reason I follow him, he rarely has a meh post.

 

[Sunflower Samurai]

This right here is why the Fallout 4 community will never, ever be taken seriously, this isn't some obscure, random extreme example, most of the remaining Fallout 4 modders/players have mods like this,

Same thing is happening with some parts of CURRENT YEAR skyrim, major breakthroughs in shit like animation fixing have been made and the number of alternative less janky animations or fixes to bugged vanilla ones are undervalued and underreleased compared to chinks stealing souls slop moves for "movesets" in the combat (makes your entire game incompatible with pretty much every perk and perk mod no matter what BTW)

I've tried to play Fo4 with a list done by the VNV trannies but its just Fallout 4 with some nicer fixes. I can load up a VNV save of regular NV without even adding shit like NVB or anything fancy and still have a grand old time

[JDVanceBiggestHater]

Reminds me how Michael bay transformers had optimus do all those speechs about how great humanity is despite us only being shown awful trashy people.

Ironic considering that humans murdered almost everyone he cared about on earth after Dark of the moon without remorse and even used their corpses to improve technology so they could kill even more cybertronians.

Dragon ball at least has the excuse of alt timelines and universes so everything being canon works without actually impacting the main series. Fallout is just multiple different contradictory lore facts in a trench coat

let's not forget Todd's biggest wildcard, turning everything into a lovecraftianesque story where eldritch gods (or really shitty deities) influenced all of the events taking place in that universe so that the average Fudgemuppet subscriber can fantasize about getting fucked in the ass by Nyarlathotep on Yog-Sothoth Island.
