F4NV FUCKING WHEN

>btw I grew up in a vault, here's my pip boy, a priceless piece of technology that I've kept for decades that I feel like just giving away to a complete stranger

Wasn't NV supposed to have good writing?

Its a reminder of his old life and dead wife.
But hey, its not like everyone has differing thoughts on sentimentality and charity.

>no update since april fools
The hell?

They came out with one like yesterday

House probably bent his ear a little.

>You've been shot twice in the head and suffered permanent brain damage
>Here's something that might help you while you're travelling because you, you know, have permanent brain damage and I can't be sure you have all your faculties completely intact

Besides which, there are how many Vaults in the Mojave alone? They wouldn't be that rare and the average wasteland hobo isn't going to have much use for one.

Doc Mitchell is an old guy that works as the Doctor of a village in the middle of nowhere, why would he need his Pip-boy?

Woops, I'm retarded

Been a while since I checked on this. How's Fallout Miami and The Frontier doing?

It’s okay user. We all make mistakes, and you were man enough to admit your retardation. I can respect that

New Vegas is all about nostalgia and letting go of the past, the story and even the game itself, being an attempt to emulate Fallout games prior to 3 within 3's framework, largely revolve around these themes. So I would say that it's only appropriate that the game starts off with an altruistic old man giving away his memoraphilia that he doesn't have much need for anymore.

>New Vegas
That's a yikes for me. Why choose such a meme location? Seems too ambitious for it to ever be finished like most mods that try to make a whole game.

He's a kindly old man living in a small town, properly doesn't have long left and as that other user said, It likely reminds him of his wife and the vault. Likely wants to help out a stranger.

>trying to nitpick this hard
Fuck off Emil.
There's another already working on fallout 3 called road to liberty or something.

That'd be pretty clever, though maybe you're reaching a bit. While we're on the subject, it's kinda funny how hard it is for fans to let go of NV. The game is essentially telling you there won't be another NV and to let go of the idea, but with Bethesda at the helm it's hard not to want any studio even half-way competent to take over.

>remaking Fallout 2 in Gamebryo
For what purpose? How are they going to handle the map? Use something like nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/52129 maybe?

>There's another already working on fallout 3 called road to liberty or something.
That's a remake of Fallout 3 though. This is some faux dlc mod that sends the Sole Survivor off to the other side of the country for no reason.

No it isn't, look at the video in the OP. It's a remake of NV just like the Fallout 3 project is a remake of 3.

>remake of NV
How can there be a remake of something that doesn't exist haha.

"Our towns are actually big and extended worldspaces. Inside such worldspace you will be able to fast travel like in New Vegas. Between those worldspaces we have a worldmap, similar to Fallout 2."

hes a local doctor for a small town and all he does is fix up the occasional radscorpion stings and bullet holes. doesn't do alot because of his age and how fearsome the mojave has become. has a piece of tech that useless to you because you dont explore the wastes. find a lucky son of a bitch that somehow survived a shot to the head. hes gonna wanna find the man that shot him. has nothing but the clothes on his back. give him a pip boy because its more use to him than you.

So can anyone tell me what happened with New California? Is it any good?
It suddenly released and it seems like people overhyped it so much it became another nothingburger the fan fiction mod that nobody talks about, it hasn't even gotten an update since last year

>though maybe you're reaching a bit

The developers have been pretty blatant about the themes plus the DLCs went so far as to literally spell them out. A lot of major characters are hung up by their past in some manner, and the ideal outcome for them tends to involve helping them let go. Both the NCR & Legion are attempting to imitate past failed empires instead of looking forward, and siding with either instead of telling them to fuck off will ultimately make things worse. Yadda yadda, I think you get the idea.

From what I saw posted here the general consensus was that it all fell apart after leaving the Vault and the majority of encounters were dull set pieces with waves of enemies for no good reason

???

It's fucking horrendous. Bad writing, very linear, almost every important decision is not important just an illusion, shitty quests, zero replay-ability, almost nothing redeemable about it whatsoever. The vault moments were decently put together but everything else kinda sucked

Oh, and the ending has some ripoff of The Master who makes a lot of wild, incoherent claims about you that the devs had to clarify were just nonsensical ramblings because they broke the lore so hard

All I remember is the plot involves You being some mutant clone of the Vault Dweller or something. Never found out what happens with the nerd hitting on someone on a dating site or some shit.

You're also the courier

and you don't get to keep any of the gear or levels or fucking anything so what's even the point of half-assedly connecting every ending to lead to the start of New Vegas

tbqh I'd be more excited about New Vegas running on openMW

well that just sounds bad on a surface level, these mod teams really need to get proper writers, its something EVERY one of them lacks or fails at, I've encountered very few quest/expansions mods that are decent

cause it's a potentially cool plot twist

>potentially cool
Best way to describe the mod, could have been good, but then they fuck up in some very important parts.

It's bullshit that has no place being there, like Avellone's "you were a mailman all along" twist in Lonesome Road. The Courier works best as a complete blank slate.

>n-no one asked for NV with actually decent combat

>and siding with either instead of telling them to fuck off will ultimately make things worse.
The best NCR ending is devoid of implied negatives

It came at the cost of narrowing all possibilities and ruining the different outcome of all the endings, which is one of those things that gives F:NV so much replay-ability. Fuck that shit

Only if you ignore all the implied negatives

That's fair

>people are kinda mad they have to pay taxes
oh no!

Oh, you're one of those retards who takes the ending slides as gospel and refuses to acknowledge literally anything else the game shows you because it proves you hilariously wrong

It might look good short-term for Mojave, but the NCR as a whole is a bloated mess that's inevitably going to crumble under its weight

The NCR is prosperous outside New Vegas, to a point where Avellone himself wanted to nuke them just to get the wasteland back to being an apocalypse. Their struggles in New Vegas are solved by the courier, all of them.

>too bad the sound from the original game has been DMCA'd by Bethesda
It is bit more complicated than that. Voice actors have rights regarding their work, they would need to be compensated if their work is re-released.

>pip-boy is a priceless piece of technology

They've lost all of their gold, drained all their lakes dry, let crime and corruption run rampant, and generally can't even take care of their own people let alone the new territories they try expanding into. Very prosperous.

Can't they just extract the right files from the user's own version of NV during installation? A lot of large mods for different games do something like that.

Yeah, they can. There will be a "Fan" patch in less then a week after launch.
