    Anybody else hate the music?

    Well Fallout NV used a lot of ambient tracks from FO1 and 2; I don't think there's any music from the originals in FO4 but there's definitely some ambient tracks that sound very similar to the style of FO1 and 2's ambient music.

    Bethesda is destroying the gay legacy of Fallout

    Yes he made that argument, but I don't entirely buy it. I mean (as far as we know) every NCR president has been legitimately popularly elected, so obviously the people still have some power in their government. Also we know that the NCR has some kind of senate, even if we don't know the inner...

    Bethesda is destroying the gay legacy of Fallout

    A benevolent dictatorship is still a dictatorship, ultimately under House the people wouldn't be self-determining, but obviously House has a sort of libertarian idea of the place of government. That's part of what makes NV so interesting.

    Bethesda is destroying the gay legacy of Fallout

    I didn't really see the theme of "letting go" in New Vegas proper (obviously that was the theme of Dead Money). It was more of a statement on war and government. I think one of the major themes was the idea that you can't fundamentally change a society quickly or (generally) without violence. Of...

    Weapons and armors

    Feasible? Sure, the FO4 "assault rifle" would work fine as a machine gun, but for running around the wasteland it makes no sense. I hope you don't mind carrying at least a gallon of water to cool that "assault rifle" of yours. Also I'm not sure how you could say whether or not the laser rifle is...

    Mods you should install

    Might work if you just ripped out the main quest entirely plus a silent protagonist mod and a few altered lines of dialogue. Man what was Bethesda thinking? Considering they copied tons of shit from Fallout New Vegas mods, they had to have realized that alternative start mods are consistently...

    Wasted Potential

    Yeah, I especially enjoy the engineering and design aspect, especially since at the moment I don't have the money to get any guns. I'll probably be buying myself one of those Uberti Colt SAA reproductions once I turn 21 though, also want to get my hands on a Winchester 1873 repro, but well...

    FO4 vs. Stalker?

    You should definitely read the books if you ever get the time, they're quite interesting, definitely quite a departure from western post-apocalyptic stories. One thing I love about the book, that didn't come across as well in the game is the sense of darkness and mysterious supernatural forces...

    Wasted Potential

    As far as I know the only gun that uses 5.56 is the "assault rifle" (it's really a machine gun, but I think we can safely say that Bethesda doesn't care about gun nomenclature, or having anything close to realistic weapons). The closest you can get to a Mosin Nagant is the hunting rifle, which...

    Bethesda is destroying the gay legacy of Fallout

    People can react very differently to the same situation, after all two people that grow up in the same neighborhood their whole childhood are never going to be exactly the same, and they could very well be wildly different. Growing up in a vault does impose SOME restrictions on your character...

    Anyone else in love with the fps mechanics?

    Well, there is a mod to remake FO1 in the NV engine (Fallout the Story) that actually looks pretty promising, assuming that goes well and is actually ever finished there's no reason they couldn't do FO2. Though of course the FO4 engine would be terrible for a FO2 remake due to the lack of...

    Cabot House (SPOILERS)

    Well I mean that would probably be more interesting than some ancient aliens bullshit

    FO4 vs. Stalker?

    Yeah STALKER is quite good, it has a stellar sense of atmosphere (at least the first one, I haven't played Clear Sky or Call of Pripryat), but it has a lot of bugs. There's also quite a big modding scene for the game, so if you have a problem there's a good chance there's a mod that fixes it...

    Wasted Potential

    The settlement system in general, it's a somewhat interesting idea but quickly gets boring and tedious and has no real point unless you're doing the Minute Men ending. The intro sequence had some potential, I wish they had actually used it to possibly flesh out some pre-war lore and to actually...

    First Impression of Fallout 4

    Yep gotten the TAB bug, gotten the bug in that video where you're in freefall when you exit a terminal, and to top it off I get a bug that makes it so hotkeys basically don't work. I'll press a hotkey it'll take like 5 seconds to equip my weapon, if it gets equipped at all, at this point it's...

    Can we all agree Bethesda did power armor right?

    It's stated in a loading screen that the T-60 saw "extensive use" after the Battle of Anchorage. It really doesn't bother me THAT much, I mean honestly there are much worse retcons in FO3 and 4, this barely even feels like a retcon, it's just kind of a really unnecessary addition and obviously...

    Bethesda's Lore Recons

    I wouldn't think so, I was only 3 years old at the time so obviously I couldn't say from personal experience, but Half-Life, Banjo Kazoie, and Ocarina of Time came out the same year, so I wouldn't think that a isometric sprite-based game would be any more demanding than Half-Life, though I'm...
