Really funny how an unfinished salvaged new vegas post game is a million times better than 4.
Actually he likes it when you show basic decency but the only thing that makes him like you is eating corpses. He's probably the hardest companion to max out.
I don't need to hear the obvious from a tourist
30+ sock?
When I last played, I maxed him out by doing a lot of dungeon crawling, since he has a silent like for killing stuff. So, as long as you are just going around and fighting, you will tick up, but it is really easy to get negative affinity, so people think it is hard to get approval with him.
Last time i maxed out was completing rogue robot every time.
Only because she's an immortal and freely* customizable Automatron.
Never done a run like that in NW, but the DLC is pretty fun for all combat builds. Invading the Commonwealth is painful in the vanilla game tho, you need to mod the shit out of it to make it in any way fun, both to overhaul the mechanics themselves and to add dozens of settlements to actually make it feel like you're taking over the Commonwealth. You know, just like how the base game settlements are useless without an overhaul(or installing Sim Settlements 2). I will confess, modding the game to establish Raider outposts anywhere is fun, I had a playthru where they took over not just Commonwealth but also Far Harbor and other new land DLCs, even Nipton thanks to Project Mojave.
Yeah, now. Back in the good old days, there was pretty much no merch or anything outside the games, back when the franchise was more niche. I was one of those people that made his own custom Vault 13 hoodie+jumpsuit, I still even have them, so if you wanted your own Fallout anything, you had to make it yourself. Bethesda only started pimping out the franchise around the time of Fallout 4/Shelter, so the tourists don't know what it was like before then. It has it's perks, mind you, I have the official Nuka Quantum and Grape in my fridge, for example, but not like there weren't bootleg Nuka Colas sold before then(again, not like tourists would know anything about that).
Us Oldfags just have to accept that Fallout is basically dead, at least the Fallout we knew so many years ago - and even gaming as a whole will never be the same as in le good old days (mid 90s to mid 00s imho). For me Fallout is a trilogy of 1, 2 and NV - NV unfortunately being infected with a lot of stupid and broken stuff from FO3. I don't expect anything to come out of it anymore, even tho I had my fun with Fallout 4 in Survival mode and 200 mods for a couple of weeks a few years back. I mostly just (re-)play old games and indie stuff these days.
The first thing you see when you start Fallout 1 is Ed and Ed's dead (that's the description of the corpse you spawn next to - "You see Ed. Ed's dead."
Jesus Christ, another one? What about Revelation Blues? Why aren't these devs working together? Hell, recently cancelled Nuevo Mexico was also dabbling with being a spiritual recreation of Van Buren.
The word you're looking for is "moderation", something modern day studios and gamers simply do not have. You can have little movie references everywhere and still have a serious, dark world with well written setting and characters. These days, if a game wants to be referential, you will have nothing but non-stop memberberries with a subtlety of a brick and probably lots of reddit writing to appeal to the kind of soy ridden subhumans who crave this sort of content. Even what Fallout 2/New Vegas with Wild Wasteland did is preferable in comparison.
The same project, renamed.
That makes more sense. Hopefully, new blood will do them some good, as I covered in this thread I was very disappointed in their borderline broken demo I played of Burham Springs. Only good thing about it was what was carried over from Van Buren, they really need to step up their game and just remake it 1:1, as closely as possible.
Next time i assault the Caesar's Camp in New Vegas i'm gonna put this song in the background:
Surprised no one did this crossover before.
Imagine Asterix punching a legionaire out of their shoes or clearing up Quarry Junction in 10 minutes off screen with the mother deathclaw just having a big bump on the head running off.
"Quite the charming single mother, nasty breathe tho!"
It helps that stuff like the tardis or crashed star trek ship is that the VD/CO encounter them randomly out in the wastes and is the only one who sees them (ignoring companions) so its not like the entire wasteland learns theres a crashed star trek ship somewhere or know what a tardis is to understand its importance.
Yeah I'll take two bears high fiving references and Planet of the apes lonesome road endings over borderlands writing even if i do like maybe 10 jokes across 1,2 and pre sequel
>Fallout tribals that act like the Asterix gauls
Are the XXL games that good?
I recently did a TTW F3 playthrough and came to the same conclusion. I will say that I actually hated F3's vaults this time around, they're very bland and samey layout-wise and the gimmicks were pretty weak and one-note IMO. I have a stronger appreciation for NV's vaults now.
Basically is a beat'em up very hardcore and funny.
