With all due respect, sometimes I suspect gizmo of being a bot

I think it would be better described as a “western” accent. Everyone in the western half of the U.S. used to talk like that as recently as the 1940s. It’s kind of dead now, overtaken by the standard American accent of west coast urban areas. But some older rural folks still talk that way.

All I have to say to this is please start using periods because these run-on sentences are difficult for me to make sense of.

I suppose that works if we just don’t think about it too hard, which is fine. But it’s nice to have some vague rules in place to restrain future game designers from doing shit like “everyone became a radiation zombie after the bombs dropped so the player has plenty of zombies to shoot”. But...

I could see that, but personally I don’t really like the idea of feral ghouls at all. Not in the animalistic zombie sense at least. Unless we’re just referring to the ones that have become homicidally insane as feral. But I’d rather that this insanity be brought on by mundane factors like...

I definitely think ghouls should be a rare, one-in-a-million chance thing, and should only be possible in the circumstances of a global thermonuclear war (which would help explain why ghouls aren’t a thing before the war despite the bombings of Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and, according to lore, Tel...

Just popping in to say that I’m pretty sure “mindless ghouls” are a complete fabrication by the wiki. There’s a thread here from probably a year ago where I believe Risewild proved it. https://www.nma-fallout.com/threads/my-review-of-fallout-the-series-season-one-9-10.222195/page-6#post-4517173...

What’s really funny is that, as far as I know, no one has ever noticed or pointed out this slight discrepancy before. But now all of a sudden these Bethesda fans are experts on which exact tile the NCR was located on.

I’m pretty sure this had to do with the New Plague. The Chinese insurgents escaped with Limit 115 or whatever it was called but were soon gunned down, breaking the vials and releasing the virus. Somehow this lead to Denver being hit by the New Plague despite not being particularly close to...

I don’t know if this is a controversial opinion or not, but whenever Van Buren and New Vegas contradict each other, I feel like the version from Van Buren is generally more interesting, or at least seems “cooler” to me. For example, I always thought the concept of the “Hanged Man” was better...

I personally feel that the art style of 3 fits the series better than 4. Maybe I’m biased in a similar way you are as 3 was the first one I played, but the designs just seem better in 3. The architecture feels more Fallout to me. The super mutants, despite being different from the originals...

I must have missed this. Where is it mentioned?

Now I’m noticing it looks kinda like a bulkier version of super battle droids from the Star Wars prequels.

Perhaps the movie “The War Game” from 1966 would be a good example, but to be fair I’ve never seen it. “Threads” is similar but takes place in the 1980s.

I actually think it looks fine (the concept art at least). Seems like it’s designed for industrial use. I imagine it would provide more protection but be slow to maneuver.

I feel like they always intended for it to be called Revelation Blues but they only recently realized that Revelation Blue doesn’t mean the same thing.

You could try just standing next to a brotherhood soldier, or putting on power armor and standing next to Ian or someone. Or you could measure the total length of that Canadian guy from feet to head and compare it to the total length of the soldier behind him.

He was probably confused since the topic of the thread is about Van Buren

The only reason I would think it isn’t Vegas is because Tycho mentions Vegas and doesn’t describe it as an abandoned ruin. Unless Vegas had become abandoned since his father’s days. (And yes, I know it’s all just a reference to Wasteland)

The only issue with this is that Johnson Nash doesn’t gain anything from getting those parts if he just uses them to fix ED-E and then lets you take him with you. Maybe the barter check could be convincing him that you need ED-E’s help to recover your lost package, and once you deliver it you’ll...
