The weakness of firearms against the Legion could be chalked up to poor NCR munitions manufacturing quality control. Maybe they all have weak propellant charges and the kinetic impact energy of the average post-war 5.56 round is just a little better than a rubber bullet or beanbag round.

The Legion train themselves to be immune to bullets by shooting themselves with increasingly more powerful low caliber rounds.

Or, it's just bad stat building. I mean, they could have easily explained this by having the Legion actually use drugs. Like say, they use a shit ton of Med-X, Jet, and Psycho which explains why they can dish out and tank lots of damage despite being Roman tribals dressed in patchwork armor.
The thing is, when you use the same rounds against gangsters, they work fine. More than fine-they sometimes blow the heads off said gangsters. It's only the Legion troops that seem to have a lot of endurance against heavy caliber and explosive ammo despite wearing sports gear, and it's usually for gameplay/leveling purposes. They can't have the final army fought by the NCR players be pushovers, after all.

Imperial Japanese soldiers still got torn to shreds by regular rifles and machine guns. There's no reason why Legion troops can survive more than one shot from a plasma caster.

That doesn't explain why and how Med-X and Psycho would make you more physically resilient. Unable to feel pain as you're vaporized, sure. But not immune to bullets or plasma blasts. Its gameplay.

I don't know what's going on and I'm wondering If this is just a Survivor 2299 hoax again. it's looks like they are using Fallout 4 for this gif so this might be a fake.

Don’t know, after 76 and the current love of NV, I wouldn’t be surprised if Interplay landed a Fallout spin off. Still wouldn’t be a good game.

Why would Microsoft lend Fallout to an outside developer when they have Bethesda, Obsidian, and inXile?
And really, Interplay? The same assholes that cancelled the original Fallout 3 in favor of Brotherhood of Steel?
I know fans aren't too keen on 76 and 4 to a lesser extent, but Interplay absolutely did not treat Fallout well.

Interplay was a very shitty publisher that constantly rushed out unfinished games to make a deadline or just to get some quick cash.

Weren't they thieves too? I heard Brotherhood of Steel was made with an engine they didn't pay to use. For all of 76's faults, being built with unlicensed tech sure as hell isn't one of them (nor is product placement for that matter, nothing can top Interplay replacing Nuka Cola with fucking Bawls).

Don't forget how Interplay perfectly captured that 50's retro-futurist atmosphere with the Slipknot soundtrack.

Yeah, I'd rather take Bethesda, warts and all, over Interplay's total mishandling of Fallout in their last years.
I'm not even sure how they'd handle a game set in Texas with that shitstain being a constant reminder.

There were some lawsuits tossed around by Interplay and Bethesda after one of them published the old Fallout games on disc. And Interplay ass-fucked FreeSpace 2 with zero marketing in favor of pushing Klingon Academy hard.

I know, that's the problem. Maybe you can make some shit up about how taking so much MED-X or Psycho mutated them to make them more physically resilient at the cost of brainpower.
Most of the talent at Interplay who made the first two Fallouts went over to Obsidian, correct? So technically, Microsoft has all the keys to make old-school-style Fallout games. They have the group that spawned the original talent for the OG Fallouts, and they have the current owner of the Fallout IP.
Interplay took Fallout, which had two games from Black Isle Studios that were well-loved RPGs, and they tried to turn that franchise into an RTS and a dumb action game with bad music to try and appease the edgelord crowd of the early 2000s.
If Brotherhood of Steel came out today, Interplay would get more hate than Bethesda gets now.
Basically, they were no better than EA or Activision, even though they were a far more smaller company.
Say what you will about Bethesda, but at least they're using their engine for their games.
Seeing Interplay use Fallout to peddle a little-known drink because they were paid to goes to show how sad the state of Fallout was before Bethesda scooped it up. Interplay basically pimped the franchise out to get some cash from the owners of BAWLS, as if Fallout was a cheap hooker on the street. Bethesda picking it up not only improved its quality, but their work put Fallout on the same category as Halo, Mass Effect, and all those big GOTY games that people seek out for their gaming libraries.
Again, as I said, they were trying to appease the edgelords of the early 2000s. And yes, as someone who grew up in that era, I can, with all certainty, tell you that crap was bullshit back then, too.
Bethesda took a little-known series that had 2 good games, one OK game, and one tire fire failure, and turned it into Game of the Year material. No matter how much people say that Bethesda ruined Fallout, from an objective standpoint (ease of play, appeal, profitability, fame) Bethesda was good for Fallout. Even New Vegas right now only has a cult following, whereas Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 both became Game of the Year and got tons of awards left and right. Despite the fact that all three games are riddled with bugs. Even I prefer New Vegas more, but I'd be a fool to say that Fallouts 3 and 4 aren't deserving of praise or love. Fallout 76 is one small stain compared to all the good Bethesda did with Fallout, from making it a viable series once again after the failure that is Brotherhood of Steel, to making the franchise Game of the Year material that fans of other big franchises would seek out due to its fame and accolades.

Fallout 3 was fucking revolutionary when it came out and everyone was raving about it except for literally a couple of die hard nerds on NMA, and even though nowadays more people on NMA pretend they always hated it, it was universally praised when it came out, bugs and all.
I see tons of people who bash Fallout 3 & 4 and still managed to play at least a couple of hundred hours of the game in the first place.
Except that 2008 was a garbage year for video games and Fallout 3 was clearly the only good thing that came out and deserved the title then.

Fallout 3 was Game of the Year back in 2009, back when gaming journalism still had a smidge of legitimacy and some genuinely good games like Halo 3 and Mass Effect were competing for the GOTY crown.
Fallout 3 basically became GOTY 2 years after Halo 3 got that award, which is insane considering the amount of hype Halo 3 had. Bethesda took some franchise that had mediocre success in the past and was reduced to irrelevancy in the early 2000s, and made it as big as Halo, Zelda, and Mass Effect in the span of one game.
The fact that they bash the game after playing hundreds of hours of it goes to show that they're just bashing it to gain credibility in the eyes of the turbo-nerds who hate the Bethesda Fallouts. They loved those games, until it was inconvenient to be seen loving those games, so they turned around and bashed those games for likes on their comments from people who forgot how much Interplay drove Fallout into the dirt.

And it's not like it had any name recognition whatsoever. Most people were like 'Wait, there's been two of those games before?' and got super confused when they saw it was some isometric turn based shit from like a decade ago.
The game got hyped so much there was actual ads for it running on TV. It was basically all people were talking about that October in terms of video games.
