/fog/ - Fallout General

...

Yes!

Yeah, nothing more important than clamoring for gifts on a holiday created by the greeting card industry.

Truly to show you care for someone is to throw shallow gifts at them.

that is really nice.

What are your hopes for Fallout 5?

I dont care about fallout anymore. Bethesda can do whatever the fuck they want. I just want an Obsidian RPG with guns.

Isn't that Pillars of Eternity

There were guns in that

That's not the meaning of the holiday, that's what people are told to do on the holiday. Very different things. Don't be so susceptible to association user!

The real meaning is not materialistic. This is true for christmas and several other holidays that people say things like you're saying about too.

Telling someone you love them is how you really celebrate the holiday. Lots of people have just lost the value in that (due to cheapening of language and meanings) and so substitute the feeling they "should" get from those words with materialistic goods. Which is indicative of some people's culture.

But nevertheless! It's a holiday with a positive message and I like it a lot!

Texas

You don't need a holiday to tell someone you care for and appreciate them.
The fact that you need the holiday as a reminder just shows how cheap your "love" is.

You "like" it like you "like" everything else.

...

Obsidian only makes rehashes of other peoples games so good luck

That's quite a presumptuous thing to say user.

It has nothing to do with "needing" a reminder. You don't "need" an excuse to do something cute for someone or go on a date or tell them you love them. This is obvious.

But having a day set aside for it is also cute, and having a holiday set aside to celebrate things is nice. Just like most holidays, it's just an official recognition of the importance of some human activities. We don't "need" thanksgiving to remind us to be thankful, we don't "need" veterans day to remind us veterans are cool, etc etc. You have a very one-dimensional view of holidays user.

Bethesda's Fallout is a rehash of other peoples game.

BIG ANIME TIDDIES

Bethesda creates new assets they don't have 70% of the work already handed on a platter

Obsidian made PoE from scratch, what's your argument here?

why company wars

PoE was a bad game

I forgot what a slog Nuka World is.
Aren't amusement parks supposed to be amusing?

Not an argument, but an opinion and a shitty one at that. Try again.

You don't need it yet you glorify it in the same manner and debase yourself upon the throneroom of corporate overlords. Not needed but you still push it onto the thread to remind everyone else of how great it is to finally tell those of whom you "love" how much you "care".

We don't need thanksgiving as it only serves as a reminder for a race of peoples Americans have driven to near extinction.

Veterans day is nothing more than transparent nationalism.

Objectively false.

don't bother arguing with shitty people that like shitty games

Can't wait for Obsidian to go bankrupt and the shitposting finally stops.

why is this happening

low energy

>Sentinel's Plasmacaster
Little disappointed that this isn't actually a Plasmacaster, but damn this is some OP shit.

why would shitposting stop
people already treat them as living gods, they'd just be martyrs then

Aside from the galactic zone most of those park quests aren't that long

I think Caitfag is Oxhorn.

Every Bethesda game for almost the last 20 years has been using the same engine with mostly recycled assets and even the same basic dialogue system

I wouldn't even have pointed this out as I scrolled past the thread but for some reason you decided to make the literal worst argument imaginable since Bethesda has been using Gamebryo with a few minor tweaks here and there ever since releasing Morrowind in 2002

I don't really like the cult of personality that's grown up around Obsidian either (especially now Chris has left because I mostly liked his ideas) but I mean if you're going to claim they're worse than Bethesda when Fallout 4 is a real thing that actually exists I don't honestly know what to tell you

ded

Fo4 isn't the same gamebryo as 3 and NV, thought that was obvious from the lack of fucked up potato faces

>No way to complete The Way Life Should Be and Search And Destroy together

Playing nv with some survival amd difficulty mods, no fast travel and permadeath. Also doing heavy roleplay. Lots of fun.

You can wipe out acadia with the brotherhood after the whole FH questline. Get dima to turn himself in and tell Allen to shut up so a bunch of civilians don't take matters into their own hands.

New Vegas is a great game for great people. Be proud.

I hope they go back to the old perks, karma, rep and traits system.
Now that I've played the older games, I feel like 4 was definitely dumbed down to introduce the series to new generations which it did so I guess their plan worked I also hope they give us a way to summarize our playthru, doesn't have to be ending slides. oh and aesthetically pleasing armor and clothing, despite being able to customize each piece it still felt like we went a step back with that

I am. I forgot how pleasurable the hobo stage of nv is. When you really need to look around and scavenge to survive, you discover a lot more shit you never would have otherwise. Im level 4 and i havent even entered primm yet.

I doubt they'll bring back traits unless they removed the negative effects on them.
they don't want players to be stuck with something on their characters like that.
I would actually be fine with them just being positive benefits, but their motto post skyrim is "you can be anything, but also everything"

you're never cut off from things other than some choices in story/quests.

This, bethesda is just going to continue dumbing down, and im glad im not the only one who thought most of the clothing in 4 looks like shit.

But then I can't publically execute Avery.

The reason bethesda has that policy now is because of fo3. When it came out it had a level 20 cap and the game ended at the purifier. The bitching was so bad they retconned the ending with a dlc. From that point on bethesda vowed you could play forever.

>dumbed down to introduce the series to new generations
I don't understand this line of thought. The first generation ever introduced to Fallout didn't require a retardproof game to get hooked. Neither did the second. What makes anyone think you wouldn't be able to introduce another generation to the Fallout universe with a well crafted game that involves a complex and smart story as well as actual tradeoffs in designing your build and determining the individual playstyle? Old fans would love it, critics would love it, why should new players not love it?

This is the ADD generation that look at their phone every 2 seconds, they can't concentrate on anything that isn't simple killing and fetch quests.

I know I asked this before, but I forgot the fix. How do I fix the pixelated godrays, and is there an ini fix so I don't have to do it every-time I load the game?

>install horse power armor
>'i'm gonna make the fastest PA anyone has seen'
>the armor is just T45-tier and not faster in any way
At least it makes that rad whinney when you hop in, I guess.

But that's wrong, the suit is significantly faster and at max upgrade level has the same stats as X-01.

This is correct. Bethesda was kind enough to not give you the middle finger twice.

I still to this day do not understand why they didnt make a suit of power armor that is much slower, much larger, and much stronger so i can live out my post apo mech warrior fantasies. Theres even giant enemies to fight for christs sake!

It's more like t-51 tier. It'd be cool to use for a pack raider character.

Remember that video Bethesda themselves showing mechs and dual wielding? Yeah.

What video? Did they offer it just to fucking reneg?

I fucked up that post immensely but I remember a video from some event after the game released, like the Skyrim one that showcased spears, seasons and all sort of cool shit.

Its fucking insane. They do the bare minimum game to game, and even show that they know what we want, but dont make the small chamges theyd need to do it. They dont even put the shit in with microtransactions. Is bethesda the worst game company out there?

They added like 90% of the shit from the Gamejam through the expansions though.

Yeah bethesda is so horrible they spend 5+ years making huge worlds like no one else and forget to add a spear so neckbeards get upset

Fuck off, its not just spears. Its really obvious with the massive modding community, theres a ton of room for improvement. Bethesda always does bare miminum, because they know mods will pick up the slack, and console fags will eat it up because its the best they have. Im sick of todd howard and his kike bullshit

Beth uses the modding argument whenever it comes to work like getting a new engine or making a complete game

>Fuck off, its not just spears.
So what is it then? Where are all these amazing community mods that Bethesda desperately needs to add.

Except they don't and go so far as to incorporate mods into the base game like they did with Robco Certified and Build Your Own Vault. They do what the community wants and you still give them flak for not doing more.

fuck off, Todd. The modders shouldnt work to do stuff that should be base game

Are you done?

Could you hop on Bethesda's cock any harder?

More than your game

are we having fun today

no, never

Seeing caitfag happy with her waifu is the onky thing that makes me smile anymore...

Not while they're going balls deep in you.

Go away, Caitfag.

I enjoy cait's pussy

That doesn't make any sense, retard. What are you, in high school?

It's not the same but it's still gamebryo at it's core. And changing the face technology doesn't mean much - there weren't potato faces in Morrowind either, and no sane person is going to insist that edition of gamebryo is any better than the one that ran Oblivion/FO3/F:NV.

Have a much deserved (You)

thank you, my friend
I cant take any more fun

>her

Set godrays quality to Ultra in the launcher

Would make sense as you're so elementary.

Whatever you say, kid.

nothing personnel, kid

playing fallout

>imagine actually doing that

>find the Wins Hideout in FNV
>meet and talk to the couple inside
>think it's funny that they fancy themselves a crime duo, while I have Dean Domino accompanying me
>usually I kill people who speak too aggressively, but I don't have the heart to end this couple's dreams
>look around some more and find the safe with Vance's 9mm in it
>steal it
>feels bad thinking about them finding out it's gone and being sad
>steal the gun anyway but leave a bunch of caps in the safe so they don't need to go through with their idiotic plan to rob all of the Vegas casinos

What's considered a lot of caps in the Fallout universe? I left them 5,000 caps in the safe for them to find.

user Im not even going to say that they're not feeling anything, but the game isnt even complex enough for them to react.

You're right, but I was feeling pretty immersed and had a soft spot for them.

I have so many caps, I don't really mind parting with some, but I was curious how many caps is considered a lot.

same

Like, 300 caps is enough to live off of by lore (gameplaywise, the economy is very bloated due to being balanced around the expectation that the player is picking up everything and selling it, hence basic guns in GRA costing a lot.) You can just think of what you get paid for doing a big job in NV as a team in Jacobstown (aka the NCR attacking the mutans) and they request around 3k caps, so 3k caps is enough for a group of elite mercs to risk their lives. 5k caps is about 500k dollars in modern times.

5000 is a lot of caps for common folks. Look at it this way, a good meal for the day, a Pork 'n Beans or a Squirrel Stew has a value of about 5 caps. Hence with 5000 caps, the two of them can eat for over a year without doing anything productive. Seems like a little fortune to me.

they will probably blow it all on the casinos, they are idiots after all.

a water bottle costs 20 caps and an irl 500ml water bottle costs abut 0.50 uromoney or dollaroos so go figure

>tfw last playthrough I was sitting at some 60k caps despite wasting shitloads of caps on rare gear I never use just to add it to my collection and buying out ammo stores by the truckload so I'll never ever run out of bullets to shoot
I must've been a more wealthy man than my employer by the end.

I noticed ingame as well, Crimson Caravan pays like 150-300 caps for a fulfilled contract, which got me thinking about it in the first place.

I didn't pass the speech check, so hopefully they come to their senses once they discover the gun is missing and are able to live easily and happily together.
