Sulik feels kinda odd to me as time goes on - The idea of, presumably Americans, surviving an apocalypse and suddenly speaking in Patwa and wearing bones through their noses - Doesn't feel like an organic development. It feels like somebody just picked up a bunch of signifiers that indicate...

People on NMA really arguing over which side is more gay, as if being gay isn't epic.

TBH, the Switch 2 trailers all feel like parodies to me Even the name "Switch 2" is just so lazy: Like it used to be there was justification for having new consoles from Nintendo, "Oh this new version of the DS is 3D" type stuff. What do you mean it's the "Switch 2" - at least add a gimmick so...

My hot take: Pre-war stuff should have an aura of mystery about it. Like Fallout 1, the only unoccupied pre-war ruin which has been abandoned the whole time is The Glow, which has been blasted to hell and back with radiation so nothing can survive there. You see the names and job descriptions...

I love that Tactics is getting appreciation all of a sudden.

Eh, both are stupid, but Fallout 4 tries to be serious and therefore fails worse - Like trying to pretend the Institute believe in literally anything - Game wants to be New Vegas, but you know, New Vegas let you ask Caesar actual questions, it's not just "We're good for humanity because we say...

It is kinda weird that we have two groups of long-lived beings that can't reproduce - yeah. But also, I think the reason I don't have a problem with it - Is because if Ghouls are very old, like to the extent that there are people who lived long before the bombs dropped who are still living 200...

You could say the same about Super Mutants: They only come from Mariposa, and can't reproduce. IDK, I think different groups of people having a specific context and history, and not simply being universal, is kinda good.

I love multi-year conflicts where people can continually circlejerk for 3 years straight about "No Russia is totally kicking Ukraine's ass you guys", "No actually it's Ukraine that's kicking Russia's ass" while basically nothing changes

I guess my response is, treating it as though it's a mathematical thing: A certain number of Ghouls appears in every location and it's purely random, kinda defeats what the games establish about Ghouls. In Fallout 1 you find Necropolis - A City of the Dead - Where there are mutants that look...

Only just noticed that 78% of NMA users think Fallout 3 is the best Fallout game :lmao:

Thanks for getting back to me. Great mod btw. I love how uncomfortable the Wasteland feels. It feels like a world where people are genuinely struggling, and it really encourages you to stand by decisions you make a lot more when whatever you do, someone inevitably suffers as a result. It feels...

We had no reason to believe that the entire continental US had FEV labs prior to Fallout 3, so this request was more reasonable. Anyway, I think point 1 is the main one: What's the point of introducing a new source of ""Super Mutants"" and making them Orks. It just dilutes the coolness of the...

I kinda think Necropolis justifies itself. If we're going through the pulp sci-fi lens, having part of the game where the protagonist finds themselves in a city filled with a new type of mutant feels exactly like the direction it should be going: It's like the adventure of the week. IDK, I...

See, I've been thinking about Ghouls a bit, because I think this is something New Vegas does that annoys me - There are Ghouls everywhere - Searchlight gets nuked: Now there are Ghoul Troopers running around killing people, Vault 34 is filled with Ghouls. I stand by the position that if a city...

Hey so I have a question: What are the conditions for no longer getting the disappearing photo? I've rescued Padre and Madre, attended the village council meeting, but I'm still got the third photo cutscene. I've noticed it isn't lowering my reputation like it usually does. Is there a certain...

Is Crni gone? Damn, that's a shame.

Replayed Fallout 2 from start to finish recently. One thing that really struck me this time, is how good an idea having your max-party members tied to Charisma is. In every other Fallout game, unless you were specifically going for a Speech build(And even then, if you grind enough levels you...

IDK about calling these "Bad Luck Rolls" - Most of these are either the Chickens coming home to roost for the NCR, or the result of active planning from the Legion -The NCR's leadership being filled with psychotic glory hounds is portrayed as a structural issue, not an accidental one - Kimball...
