To each his own. At the end of FO1 and FO2, you and your gang would also be a collection of supermen who killed anything in under 3 seconds. So it's not exactly un-Fallouty to become the Lord Death Ruler of the Wasteland at max levels. But I do see your point. I'm pretty sure I'll always...

I took many drugs. I killed the pack. I killed the mother. Now, only the Legendary Deathclaw remains, skulking around among his dead brethren. And he is one tough son of a bitch. It's nice, in a way, to encounter an enemy that can rip me in half. It serves as a quick reminder that I...

Just what it says on the tin. The mod comes with some excellent bonuses (i.e. "give me everything" command and ability to carry faction armor for E-DE, Rex and Lily). But, it appears to have been abandoned by its author(s), and has started bugging out for me lately (I'm looting Phalanx Super...

Readius is fine, especially with the "Classic Fallout" retexture. It doesn't clash the atmosphere at all. And it sure beats the arm-mounted monstrosity.

There's noticeable impact on lower-to-mid systems, and even my high-end rig is starting to sweat. I may have to roll back to the lite version.

See subject. The only decent use for a shotgun I've found so far was using the sawed-off as an "OH, SHI..." button. As in, something is coming to get me, shoot it point-blank in DA FASE. Even the Sturdy Caravan Shotgun is less than impressive. Even with slugs in it. Sad oversight by...

I kill the Legion on sight in my current playthrough. Never could stand slavers of any kind, ever since FO1. Plus, their bare-legged armor looks stupid.

I gave up. All stock presets look like degenerates with genetic defects who live in their mother's basements and rape small animals as a hobby. There are a couple mods on Nexus that add in-game NPC faces to the preset list. MUCH nicer. I took someone who looked pretty good (I think it was...

This is my shovel. There are many like it, but this one is mine. I will use my shovel to dig a grave into which I shall deposit: - Gamebryo. - Bethesda Softworks' lousy game development. - Bethesda Softworks' lousy storywriting. As long as these three things are put behind us, I...

So I got E-DE last night, the useful little floating bugger that he is. Problem is, I repaired him before talking to Nash (who runs Mojave Express). Now, when I talk to Nash about E-DE and ask him what to do with it, he says "Well, there's gotta be someone out there who's interested in that...

"Gamebryo, you are the worst thing ever".

Oh goody! I'll be sure to hit up the radio station for the parts. Always wanted an eyebot...

F3 may have succeeded as a commercial product, but it doesn't make it a good game. It was Avatar/Titanic of video gaming. Bethesda going to Obsidian for NV was simply their capitulation to the fact that they are, in fact, a collection of hacks. TES is dead. Fallout has been rescued by its...

On a related note, what storage is "safe" in the game? Containers in Bethsoft games have a nasty habit of eating their contents... Is the Mojave Express the only safe way to store things?

Not a complaint, more like solicitation of advice... Years of roleplaying taught me to grab anything that isn't nailed down. As a result, I am constantly overencumbered, and it causes me physical pain to discard anything. Just curious, how do YOU cope with the packrat syndrome? Especially...
