Fallout Fallout General Thread - War, War Never Changes. Nor do game engines.

That's not true at all.
KOTOR 2 is considered an outstanding game.
But is unfinished mess without mods.

Calling Fallout 4 an unfinished mess isn't doing it any favors, lmao.

Skyrim has been around for...13 years now, and people play that unmodded more then any of the FO games.
Console players be playing broken or not.

Skyrim isn't 'broken' without the unofficial patch, is my point.

I mean, yeah sure it's 'bethesda' levels of broken, but not all-broken.

I mean, it isn't unfinished mess really. It was more polished then the last 2 FO entries. NV as one of those last 2.
Just saying that some games considered to be amazing masterpieces are broken messes

But skytim is notrotius for its bugs

All their games are notorious for bugs. XDDD
Their new title, their magnum opus, is known for the dumbest shit.

Amazing critiques of FO4. I love that game, but I can't pretend it's perfect.

 

[Bassoe]

Oh! That's not too bad of a design! I like it! Yes that would've made for an awesome final boss, especially if it was foreshadowed and teased throughout the game.

The question being, who’s wearing the armor?

• A generic courser?
• X6-88?
• A synth version of you Shaun built as a replacement parent programmed to agree with all his life choices and siding with the Institute if you, his actual one, wouldn’t?
• One of those Synthetic Gorillas cause why the hell not?

Well, this being Fallout 4, of course it's a generic courser.

With a star next to it's name to indicate it's 'legendary' which will make it magically re-gain all of it's HP once it's nearly dead. Of course!

And because they cannot-into weapon balance it'll have a non-upgraded gatling laser with a trivial legendary effect which tickles any character at the end of the game, lmao.

 

[Navarro]

And the combat armor seen in 1 and 2, well it basically reeks of "standard sco fi armor"
3 4 and NV have some originality on it.

4's combat armour would be good if not for the goofy-ass helmet.

 

[Husky_Khan]

This makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside...



Okeee-dokeee!

I don't think a higher intelligence being can comprehend a Lynette who isn't a bitch.

 

[Bassoe]

How many crazed Chem Addicts does it take to kill Legate Lanius?



"Had enough?!" "You LIKE THAT?"

"DEGENERATE..."

"Damn!"

"I'm hit!"

On the matter of the Monster of the East, have a fanmade Legion marching song.

 

[Navarro]

It never gets brought up but considering what his goals are I'd presume he thinks Dick Richardson was an idiot.

Fun fact: Eden was originally an uploaded Dick Richardson, until his old VA was caught with CP (IIRC, there was a scandal along those lines at any rate) and wasn't available for obvious reasons, so President Eden got written into existence.

So yep, Bethesda were planning to have their main antagonist for FO3 be literally the same as FO2 lol.

It can look sort of decent but the problem is the layered armor system makes it look absolutely retarded if its worn over anything but the vault suit. Basically the system is badly implemented and it causes the armor pieces to stretched out and become cartoonishly oversized. Still even on its best day its too bulky and looks like a shitty rendition of Halo armor.

Yep, 3/NV armor plus the Marine armor is GOAT.

Marine armor had potential but still isn't that good and looks kind of dumb, Here is a superior rendition of it IMHO.

 

[Carrot of Truth]

And here is the actual article for comparison.

 

[Navarro]

The lack of real boots is the most retarded element, that and the exposed neck ... but then I've played so long fixing it with mods that I forgot those exist.

 

[Carrot of Truth]

The arm parts of it are beyond retarded and just look like a bunch of unnecessary weight.

 

[ThatZenoGuy]

And here is the actual article for comparison.

It's just too fucking bulky, god damn. It's approximately the bulk of what power armor should be.
If the game had strength requirements for armor (Fallout probably should do that to be honest) it could make some sense? Unpowered exoskeleton?

 

[ThatZenoGuy]

Anybody else think that FO3 got the Brotherhood factions backwards?

The 'Outcasts' with their red paintjobs should be the ones you work with in the story mission, as they're deviating from the OG Brotherhood.

Meanwhile the assholes who you cannot join, and generally want to shoot you on sight, should be the 'proper' Brotherhood of Steel.

 

[Navarro]

Lyons can present himself as the local leader of the BOS since most of them there are loyal to him. The Outcasts are a group which splintered from his own group of the BOS after they arrived.

The issue is that surely they're still in communications with the OG's over west, who likely picked up the radio and went "What? You're helping a fucking radio DJ?...DISTRIBUTING WATER!? YOU DID "WHAT" WITH A GECK!? YOU'RE FIRED"

There'd be a Verti-Assault team sent over to kill the leadership.
