That would be a neat critical failure effect for using laser weapons against metal armors (including power armor). The attacker takes damage from their own laser, or alternatively it redirects the laser to a random combatant between the target and attacker. Might even be able to visually...

He’s been pretty consistent on not wanting to remaster old games. He’s said this about Fallout 1 and 2 a couple of times, and he’s said it about Arena and Daggerfall too.

Take All button, push companions out of the way, trade more than 999 of something at a time, more unarmed attacks, change companion armor and combat tactics, friend or foe perk is now the default setting (I think), charisma isn’t quite as useless due to the companion limit. That’s just off the...

As I watch that gif I can still hear the whine the dog makes when you snap its neck. I think that’s part of what makes people feel worse for animals than for humans. Animals have no shame or dignity. They cry like babies when they die. It triggers an empathic response in humans.

I don’t know. I don’t even remember there being a bar in the Boneyard. The only guy I can remember singing is the guy in Vault City who’s singing “Maybe”.

As a general rule, hard rock is bluesier, with less palm muting and more syncopation. Generally has slightly less distorted guitars, and less bass-y as well. Of course, this falls apart when applied to specific sub genres. I’d argue that stoner metal is more blues-based than most rock, and funk...

I’d say Vault-Tec and the Enclave nuked each other, the Brotherhood got nuked too so it’s back to just a single Lost Hills chapter, the NCR reformed and decided to move their capital back to the original Shady Sands. Not sure what else needs to be nuked to get us back to normal. I’d also say the...

Not from what I can remember

I just don’t understand why someone should feel bad for killing a dangerous creature they’re being attacked by just because the dangerous creature in question is sapient (or rather, has the potential to be genetically modified to be sapient). Do we feel bad for killing raiders?

This is the same thing as the hunting rifle in Fallout 3 firing a .32 pistol round. Bethesda either doesn’t know or doesn’t care. Probably both.

That’s not exactly capitalism any more than tribes of hunter-gatherers were communists.

New York’s ALRIGHT if you like ART and JAZZ! New York’s ALRIGHT if you’re a homo-seck-chuall!

Yeah, tell me about it. People will say that that technology was introduced too late to save the world, but I feel like that’s a cop out. I like to think that the energy needs of the world just kept increasing exponentially so that even a highly efficient energy source like fusion power still...

You mean Fallout: Tactics BOS power armor?

What does that even have to do with being agender? Other than being mentally ill (for lack of a better term).

I think the bigger problem with Fallout 4 is how they gutted most of the RPG elements. With the modding tools Bethesda gives us, it’s not particularly difficult to add or rewrite quests, add or rewrite dialogue, fix lore-breaking elements and things like that, but even in F3/NV it’s more or less...

The idea that Mr. House knew the world was going to end, like literally knew people that said “yeah we’re gonna nuke the world, you in?”, and then both agreed to this plan yet somehow forgot that it was happening on Saturday, not Sunday, just makes him look hilariously incompetent.

Ok, fair enough. I guess what I meant was, if New Vegas 2 had the NCR at full force and Shady Sands was referenced as a thriving city, I don’t think Bethesda would really care. They’d hand wave it away as “oh, the NCR rebuilt themselves in the couple years after the events of the show.” They’d...

Honestly, if Bethesda let Obsidian make a “New Vegas 2” I doubt they’d even care if it just completely ignored the events of the show.

I agree that some people (particularly people who claim to be big fans of the originals but have mostly just played New Vegas) overrate the original games in terms of the quality of the writing. I still think they are miles ahead of what Bethesda has given us, but you’re right, they’re far from...
