Wow, amazing insight. That's not reaching for something to complain about at all.

Yeah man it‘s not like you are carrying the thing that could turn the tide of the war or that you proved yourself by tracking and killing benny, being the first on in the lucky 38 in hundreds of years and being a renown long time courier.
No man they want you just because shitty plot man.

Not for House considering the starting premise is you carrying out the job he hired you to do under incredible circumstance. Similarly, the Yes Man storyline opens up as a very natural concequence of your pursuit of Benny.

You getting all the attention from House and opening up the Lucky 38 where nobody has been inside since the War (or ever had a private meeting with House), as well as the circumstances of your arrival in NV mark you as someone of unique interest and capability. For the NCR you appear as a capable mercenary, someone they can hire to get done the work their overextended army can't.

Caesar's private invite is really the only one thats a stretch but even then you're the only one that has the opportunity to undermine House in the way Caesar requires (via the Chip and your access to House himself).

It's a bit video-gamey but the logic is there. Your character has to be special in some way and compared to the glowstick of destiny chosen one plots of most protags, the Courier really isn't that incredible or amazing.

Renown long time courier? You’re basically just a no name trying to get back a chip that the NCR isn’t even aware exists

Wrong, you won't get approached by NCR and Legion until you get into Lucky 38.
Mr. House invites you because you were supposed to deliver Platinum Chip so it makes sense that he would invite you in after what happened to you.

I feel really stupid, but I was always confused why there is a dialogue option when talking to the legion messenger, asking why you are seeing them a second time. What was the first time? He doesn’t appear in the game before inviting you to fortification hill

It's Vulpes Inculta. The guy that burns down the town, Nipton. With the coyote pelt on his head.

If we trust the bearbull man of lonesome road you‘ve been all through the NCR and supporting the Divide through couriering until that faithful enclave package came through

I thought Benny went into the Lucky 38.

hmm think its time for me to install new vegas

If you take all of the Courier's optional dialogue, your character is very experienced and very well travelled.

Even if you don't, Lonesome Road canonizes that the Courier was hired by the NCR several times to deliver packages and scout out the Death Valley/ Divide region and basically led to the NCR "discovering" it and annexing the town due to your unintentional scouting.

I'm pretty sure the Courier can deny that though, so it may just be optional canon.

No?
House doesn’t approach you until you reach New Vegas, and the Legion/NCR don’t approach you until after you deal with Benny.
Assuming you don’t speedrun past the deathclaws that could take you 10-15 hours to get to that point

Gonna ask this here, can I still do the NCR questline if I just kill the boomers? Or does this lock you out of NCR line? I just hate doing that boomer quest

If you kill Vuples in nipton youll get a new frumentarii approaching you in vegas. Likewise, if you skip nipton and go straight to new vegas and kill vulpes after he invites you to cottonwood, a new frumentarii will approach you at nipton

That's because the retarded shit in Beth Fallout that people mock can't be easily explained with a paragraph whilst the stuff people complain about New Vegas easily can.

I believe so. You are working for Crocker, who is a lot more chill than colonel Moore. Strictly speaking, the NCR shouldnt care if you kill them. In fact, them being dead is better because NCR wants their munitions, not their fire support like house

>something is actually bad in Bethesda Fallout
Here's your problem. Bethesda Fallout could have all the reason in the world behind a seemingly stupid part of it but none of you would ever accept that under any circumstances. If the OP argument was leveled at a Beth Fallout everybody would just jump into the hate circlejerk even if the scenario was justified in-game. It's hypocritical

Not him, but you have outed yourself as to arguing from a tribal group perspective to take down the new vegas "tribe", simply as a response to the perceived support they have here.

Its not too indifferent to football gangs, and it means that theres no point in discussing the actual content with you because the content was never the point, the disruption of the enemy tribe is.

Here's the clincher though, they don't. You're making a false argument. Yes, if my bathtub had wheels, an engine and a steering wheel it'd be a car, so what? It doesn't, so it's not a car. Yes, there could be a huge well detailed logical explanation behind the retarded shit in Bethesda Fallouts, there COULD be, but there isn't. You're claiming people are hypocrites over a hypothetical that countless, thousands upon thousands of these threads over the years has proven doesn't exist.

How did the bots get updated without taking the chip to the bunker?

They were prototypes of the updated firmware

Because the reason you need to take the Chip to the Bunker is that House's network didn't extend there. The bunker wasn't a special activation code or whatever for the chip, it was just a huge storage of securitrons but it was just about out of reach of House's sensors post-war, hence why he can't disable the security systems when he guides you in there.

The chip upgrades the Vegas securitrons the moment House/Yes Man has it because it contains the capability to upgrade them in itself, it just needs to be wired into a local securitron network.

The chip upgrades the bots. The Bunker is just a storage facility.

stopped reading there. everything you just tried to claim about NV was objectively worse in 3. The writing because of the huge amounts of retconning, the gunplay which didn't even have ADS in an FPS because their engine is garbage, and the characters were the shallowest in any CRPG I've ever played. On all these charges at the very least, NV is obviously superior.

Because you didn't really give any actual arguments or specific examples, you just said "it's boring" with no elaboration, which is basically just countered by someone else saying "No it isn't boring" because that's about equally as valid.

Why is the dialogue bland and boring? What is it that you think is poorly written or why do you think it fails to engage?

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

The only person writing shit whos 14 is you pal considering you think "Its boring" is an argument. You didn't even bother to try and explain what part of it is boring.

I can give you an example if trying to understand this is making your head throb. I didn't like Pillars of Eternity in part because I found the setting and dialogue boring/unengaging. The reason I found it boring was because it is trying to be its own medieval fantasy setting but doesn't really do anything unique that sets it apart from other similar settings so it just feels like off-brand content of what you already are familiar with and so I dont feel the need to engage with the lore. The dialogue is boring because it's straight off the bat jargon heavy and assumes the player is already heavily invested in the world and lore rather than bringing them in slowly as an outsider.

Do you see how actually explaining shit makes it into an argument vs just me saying "Pillars is shit because its boring AF lmao get fucked"

OP might be baiting but there's a little bit of truth in what he says. All the factions (as well as the developers) treat the Courier like he's the chosen one. But in reality he's just some mailman that by sheer luck alone managed to survive a bullet in the head. Then everyone acts like tracking Benny is some remarkable event that could have only been achieved by a demigod. But the very fist person you ask about Benny outright tells you that he's probably heading to New Vegas and considering his attire and manner of speech it's not difficult to deduce that. Even the journey from Goodsprings to the Strip is not difficult you're just following the highway which is frequently taken by merchants, there's no more danger than what is usual for an employee of the Mojave Express. But despite all of that House, the NCR and Caesar treat you like you're far more important than you really are.

>get to New Vegas
>FalloutNV.exe has stopped working

>But despite all of that House, the NCR and Caesar treat you like you're far more important than you really are.

I don't really think so, by the end sure but you've already proven yourself by that point. When they start to meet with you they just treat you as a driven and capable person who's caused a stir on the Strip, which is about right. House is actually quite apprehensive towards you in your initial employment which is why you hear a lot of players complaining about House being a condescending dick to you, but thats only at the start of your work with him.

Crocker basically just treats you like a useful mercenary for the initial job of contacting the Boomers which isn't that amazingly special. You manage to pull that off which is quite the feat so the respect goes up.

The only one that is kinda weirdly in reverance to you is Caesar, I will give you that one. But NCR/House/Yes Man don't really treat you as much more special than what your actions compared to normal wastelanders set you out as.

Everything in Nv is so well connected and integrated in the overarcing plots.

Not a single RPG I played ever came close to being so interwoven. It's got it's flaws sure, but it's a masterpiece all the same. The sense of scale, eye for details and player freedom is simply unmatched by anything else I've played.

And it'll never ever get remastered because Bethesda won't stand for it. I'm still pissed they didn't learn jack shit from obsidians work and even went the complete opposite direction. They created the most bland, streamlined experience with fallout 4 in response.

Don't get me wrong, fallout 4 had some cool things and I wouldn't even call it a bad game, but it was all flash and no substance in comparison.

>get into a cuckold relationship with Cass
Was that really necessary for gameplay balance, Mr. Sawyer?

FUCK ROMANCEFAGS

I think a good point to make about the interconnectedness is about how relevant the map is to both the lore and gameplay. So in the lore we're told that the I-15 is super important but its been blocked up and its causing major trade route/troop movement issues, but as the player you actually feel this, having to do the massive u bend around the I-95 and the physical barrier of the deathclaw infestation. Characters are displaced and an entire settlement, the I88 trading post, exists only because of it. If you actually take the time to clear it, the map becomes much more easily traversible and you experience the convenience that the NCR and carvan companies were frustrated with losing.

That it did.

It’s weird how Crocker immediately just sends you to the boomers. I was expecting more of an intro to the NCR.

the only romance you had with Cass was the one you projected onto her

I feel like you get enough introduction to the NCR before then. The NCR troopers stationed at Primm and the Mojave Outpost do a pretty good job of it. You get hit with their organization style, their incompetence, their issues as a nation and tidbits of lore about back in Cali as well as lots of carvan related stuff.

You'll have to try harder for my (you)

Yeah one of the things that bugged me about the Commonwealth was its lack of basic cohesion. I'm not specifically talking from a narrative standpoint, either; the world of Fallout 4 feels so removed from everything else it might as well exist in its own fishbowl since the player is rarely given indication of a living world outside the Boston area (until Far Harbor and Nuka World.)

If not for the BoS, Power Armor and Super Mutants it might as well have been a different game entirely.

>>companion wheel is ripped straight from a mod that was available before it was official that NV is even in the making
>>same with the survival mode
>>same with ammo types although I understand they come from the older Fallouts
>>crafting system is also literally ripped from mods, down to recipes
>>same with ironsights

I don't understand how this is meant to be bad? Considering they were all objective improvements on the gameplay, taking improvements from ones that the community felt they needed to do themselves and making them standard in the next game seems like good practice even if not giving them credit might be a bit scummy but thats a bit more grey.

>>unfinished main story
Yeah this is legit, its regrettable the Legion didn't get more content but lets not pretend it was like MGSV level where it was hugely detrimental or it felt empty.

>>instead of finishing the mainstory they made several DLCs which were all lackluster in their own right
I disagree, I think the DLCs are actually one of the strongest parts of the game.

>>the only improvement skill-check wise from F3 is that they're everywhere and there's no downside not choosing
Them being everywhere is an improvement and they are far more relevant. Speech is overpowered but in a non-tabletop setting where you can savescum theres no real way around that.

>>bugs out of the wazoo, was less stable than Fallout 3, bugs which can't all be attributed to the shitty engine because it's literally the same engine as F3
legit

>>even the smallest non-content is a location now so there's no sense of wonder in exploring the Wasteland, just a checkpoint list
Don't really understand this one. I enjoyed exploring the Mojave more than the Capital.

cont.

shut up avellone

Yeah if you go with guns like i did, the game is way, way too easy on normal. You just easily cleave everyone.

>>smaller factions like Boomers are useless and never used again after completing quests worth 15 minutes
They're directly intwined with the main story and the setting and they add lots of flavour and character. Far better than stuff like the Capital Wasteland superheroes or the Republic of Dave. Don't really get this as it's adding lots of quest content thats interesting and is actually tied with the world and story.


>cowboy theme is overused and silly, yet Bethesda gets jumped for the overused 50s theme more on par with F1
Bethesda only really gets the 50s theme wrong with 4 where everything looks like a Pixar adaption of the Jetsons. They got it right in 3.


>Legion is just fucking dumb as hell on so many fronts
Disagree. They're superficially strange and gonzo but their actual lore is quite engaging imo and the tribal aspect of Fallout is one of the cooler aspects of the setting.

>>tribals which were already retarded in F2 came back and became major plotpoints
see above. I disagree. I really like tribals.

>>vaults are lackluster
Vault 11 and Vault 22 are two of the best in the series. 34 is a decent dungeon with loot at the end and 19 is just a random hiding spot for a quest. They're better than 3 or 4's.

>House wanted you at the Strip
>NCR sends a random soldier as a messenger
>Caesar sends an infiltrator who approaches you in a disguise

Literally all three of them are understandable. Especially since Caesar approaches you last after you've dealt with The Tops as though Vulpes was watching to see if something important enough to approach you was actually going on.

The Mark of Caesar and Caesar believing your account of what happened in the bunker are the actual retarded things in the Main Quest.

While I can respect that you engaged with me, most of your counterpoints are subjective feelings. It's no secret most if not all of my points are subjective too, they, in my opinion, address the shortcomings of the game. I'm not denying that NV certainly improved upon 3 in nearly all aspects but New Vegas is by no means a gold standard or anything even near flawless, certainly not the a degree people on here praise it.

>tribals which were already retarded in F2 came back and became major plotpoints

What? What's wrong with tribal societies emerging from the wreckage of the Old World? No formal education system and the fact that not everyone who survived the bombs survived in a Vault (like Randel in HH) makes it plausible that the generations born after the bombs would start to culturally change since they have no reference point for civilisation.

Little Lamplight in 3 should have been more Lord of the Flies than generic village with kids.

This, these fuckers improved on the game, this isn't the Bethesda™ way. How the fuck are you supposed enjoy a game if you DON'T have to spend 2 hours on nexus to get a new mechanic?

>certainly not the a degree people on here praise it

Zoomers have been shitting on New Vegas for years now.

Where's that 3x3 parody picture where it's 9 actually good games like Vegas and Persona 3 but the picture says they're all actually shit and people pretend to like them?

I agree with a few of the shortcomings that you listed like the fact that the game had unfinished aspects and was bugged out the ass to unacceptable degrees at release but I think stuff like disliking the tribal part of Fallout is just up to preferred taste/flavour in the setting.

I do agree speech is overpowered but like I said I don't think there's really a good way around that in a vidya setting where a percentile roll can't be permanent like in a /tg/ game.

I also forgot to say that tribals being interesting doesn't make them any less retarded.

In Fallout 2 you start as a descendant of the Vault Dweller. Don't tell me it's feasable to degenerate that much as a society within 80 years.

They charged you for mods you retard, Obsidian stripped them straight from the Nexus and faggots like you even defend them. Do you defend horse armor too?

>but New Vegas is by no means a gold standard or anything even near flawless

I would actually disagree and say that it is pretty close to being a gold standard for RPGs in terms of character choice and dialogue in the modern/post-infinity engine era. I can't think of a post-2004 RPG that reaches the same level of player choice/freedom and interactivity that Vegas does. Most of the staple "RPGS" of this era have been very limited in player choice, stuff like Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Witcher etc by comparison.

Veronica would be much more likeable if she weren't always such in your face overly-liberal womanchild. I get that she's supposed to be the black sheep of the Mojave chapter which is why they keep sending her out, but she should at least act like a Brotherhood Scribe. I can't help but feel annoyed by her.

I think it's feasible. In the case of Arroyo since they were mixing with tribals that had developed since the days of the war and were deliberately trying to be isolationist nature-based survivalists.

What were they supposed to do? Just ignore blatant and extremely popular fixes/improvements to the game? "Damn, we got beat to the punch by our own community. Better not include major quality of life improvements that would be welcomed by all and an immediately required mod if we didn't anyway."

Obsidian employed fallout modders anyway.

Obsidian started working on New Vegas in like January of 2009, two months after Fallout 3 was released. Those fucking mods didn't exist yet.

Unironically this

NV is the best and only good game of the Fallout franchise. F1 and F2 are straight up reddit garbage and F3 is even worse - a Betheshit game

How are F1, F2 and Tactics a reddit gabage? Did you even play them?

I obviously didn't mean that literally so calm down. What I meant is that you can't credit Obsidian for QoL changes that already existed when NV came out, with Obsidian's output most times being worse than what mods had to offer for F3.

Because it feels like a fucking reddit nerd who gets gifted gold every day for his comments wrote it. The cheap jokes, the annoying sarcasm, the soi induced dialogue. Every second i spent reading it was like reading the reddit comment sections

The story in both games is identical and extremely simplistic. "Bro, you're our last hope. Go retrieve this shit" while a bigger threat is looming in the background that you have to confront.

The gameplay is garbage. You don't have any choices. You have to start optimally and with gun points, eventually switching to lasers unless you want to gimp yourself.

All of the characters are cardboard cutouts. Still, they are better games than 3, but i'd imagine eating shit would be more enjoying than to play that mind-numbingly boring piece of trash

This is your opinion, though. I could say Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 are boring and New Vegas isn't, and that would get us nowhere.

Can you get liked by the NCR with only a few side quests? The main quest with them doesn’t seem to do shit for NCR fame

I dont know how they would have integrated them into the first game without having to make it an option for you to travel on one.
3D Fallout engines could have probably handeled horses and its not like having them be a thing in the East would have been the biggest plothole in the Bethesda franchise.

>the water chip which is crucial to our survival has broken
>let's send only one guy to find a replacement even though we have no idea what's out there

They'd sent two people out before. Mind you, one died and the other ghoulified and never returned.

cringe

I find it a fun way to build the story is to think of why your particular character was sent. If you build someone smart it's because "if anyone can do it, it's this kid", if you make a brainlet vault dweller then it's because "worst case scenario we at least get rid of this retard". Also keep in mind that the overseer plans on kicking you out once you get the chip in order to keep the vault isolated, the more people he sends out the harder it's gonna be to deal with that afterward.

>Don't tell me it's feasable to degenerate that much as a society within 80 years.

The Vault Dweller was exiled and founded Arroyo with a handful of other dwellers and other migrants from the wastes. They were a tucked-away village where industrial tech wasn't readily available and so herbalism and other shit would have taken its place.

Not to mention 80 years could be as much as 4 generations in a low life expectancy environment like the Wasteland. When the Vault exiles got older would they have really fought to prevent the new generations from developing their own worldviews and traditions?

I RP'd as a totally normal, unremarkable dude who liked to daydream a lot in the Vault and is basically living out his daydream fantasies of being a comic-book style hero out in the Wasteland and truly living for the first time.

I like to think that the Overseer picked him because he was relatively smart and competent but so unremarkable that there wouldn't be uproar or accusations of bad policy if he didn't come back as there would be with more notable Vault members. Of course this ironically backfires in that the Vault Dweller becomes an honest to god hero out in the Wastes and inspires love/attention in the Vault which leads to his final decision.

Pretty sure its in the Vault 13 control room.

I meant how come he hasn't been replaced by the beginning of f1. No one questioned his brilliant idea to send one person at a time to find the water chip? Or his other brilliant scheme to chose the guys for the mission based on chance instead of merit? His plans are so retarded I think it's safe to assume he has also made retarded decisions before the problem with the water chip started.

Except Fallout 3, Fallout 4 and Fallout 76.

I enjoyed 3 on 4 albeit on lesser levels than the others

Fallout 3 is enjoyable if you haven't played NV. or have TTW installed

4 is enjoyable but to a lesser extent of its predecessors, and requires dedicated mental gymnastics for any kind of roleplaying experience.

4 is a game where you loot and shoot
it's a fallout mod for borderlands

3 is enjoyable in a Skyrim "turn your brain off" sort of way. It's neat.

4 is neat for the first few hours but the game is so devoid of meaningful content that it becomes mind numbing. The Kill-Loot-Return loop just gets so tiring that it undermines the actually good wasteland level design because its so fucking boring. The settlements are an exercise in laziness and triviality and the quests are a joke.

76 looks pretty and the West Virginia map is neat as is some of the new gear design but I don't even need to explain where that game goes wrong on the enjoyment factor.

The only actually probably i can think if that NV has is there is no actual advantage to joining the legion that outweighs being hunted down by the NCR even if you are on good terms with them.
Man fuck NCR MPs i just want to walk around the strip.

Nice.

I think the flaws in NV’s storytelling are inherent, and this goes for every flaw that NV’s has, in Bethesds’s shit engine technology and generally everything Obsidian were mandated by Bethesda to use by Bethesda. I don’t blame Obsidian for it, they were given tools made of fossilized dogshit and still made something great out of it IMO.

NV desperately needed a map section East of the Colorado. More Legion camps, a few towns that were under Legion control but were largely left alone. A tribe in the midst of being subjugated.

3 is harder than NV though

I enjoyed 4 as an open world action game but I was ultimately dissapointed because I expected an open world roleplaying game akin to the previous games.

Fallout 2 had the worst writing out of the main series. Yes, worse than Fallout 3.

>filled with retarded nerd memes on a scale that is worse than Borderlands. You can rest assured that for the entirety of your playthrough they're quoting some fucking 80s movie about every five minutes.

>entire cities are basically just big fucking jokes (san francisco, new reno) and they're entirely inconsistent with each other, essentially acting exactly as "theme parks" like people accuse Bethesda's Fallout settlements doing (check out the gangster town, the mutant town, the 1984 town, etc.)
>the bad guy's motivation is literally "we want to purge everyone because they're mutants because they've been exposed to radiation" (???). It's fucking worse than Fallout 3's where the motivation is just confusing and doesn't make sense, here it's just plain fucking stupid.
>why the fuck is there an enclave tanker in San Francisco?

And so on.

Same I was unironically hyped since whilst I knew it wouldn't be Vegas tier I was hoping for a Skyrim tier comfy immersion sim with some fallout meets blade runner elements due to the commonwealth being hyped up as being a tech haven.

Then the game out and it wasn't even as good as skyrim and the voiced protag killed any sense of immersion. Useless game.

It's a metaphor, comrade. You can run, but you can't hide from your crimes. Same reason if you kill someone from a faction even if he's in the "middle of nowhere," they'll still find out it was you.

I find the super mutants in general harder enemies than the humans in NV. It felt like you ha to scrounge for supplies a bit more

>acting exactly as "theme parks" like people accuse Bethesda's Fallout settlements doing (check out the gangster town, the mutant town, the 1984 town, etc.)


The Fallout 2 towns do have strong themeing but they aren't theme parks for the sole reason that they have actual relevance to eachother and place in the setting. If you actually played Fallout 2 you'd know there is a power-struggle subplot between NCR, Vault City and Reno. Stuff like the Big Circle, Redding, Broken Hills caravans etc all serve to connect the towns and give them placement. The Theme Park issue of Fallout 3 is that they're extremely strongly themed like the 2 towns (but even moreso) but also exist basically in a vaccuum. The towns in Fallout 2 don't.

engine limitations

I don't get all the Bethesdrones that keep showing up both in Fallout threads and Elder Scrolls threads to keep shilling that Daggerfall, Morrowind, NV and Fallout 1-2 are complete garbage whilst saying there is nothing wrong with Fallout 3, Fallout 4, Skyrim, etc.

I literally have no problem with someone who can enjoy Fallout 3-4 and Skyrim and treat it like what it is, a decent action game with decent enough visuals, mechanics and quests.

But trying to justify it and claim it to be better than games that actually try immerse you into an RPG world with choices is kinda fucking dumb. Fallout NV is definitely inferior to Fallout 1 + 2, but it is a stark improvement from Fallout 3's abysmal bullshit that it pulls as well as retconning most of the cooler ideas that were planned from Fallout 1 + 2 (like Europe still being a thing but being locked in a Civil War whilst the US is burning in Atomic Fire, now instead in Bethesda's timeline it's implied Europe also got nuked by China...for some reason). NV at least tries to replicate what Fallout 1 + 2 gave us, even if unsuccessfully. But the inherent problem with 3 and 4 is how they don't bother with what made Fallout an RPG to begin with and instead try to capture what the general public thinks Fallout is rather than it should be.

The same problem with post Oblivion Elder Scrolls. Skyrim has a lot of potential as a storyline but it is trapped in poor decisions and ideas that ultimately give it the same problems that Fallout 3 and 4 have. But every single time I see these random Bethesdrone shills flock threads and insist "the new games are not bad, old game bad. Buy new game". It's a shame because if they could forward that same criticism to the developers of these games, then maybe we'd have a good game in our hands if they listened to the critiques. But nope, gotta keep shilling and shilling for your bosses and for the company.


Inherently yes they are all enjoyable except for 76.

Except we can. When you look at the pressure they were put under. They were expected to make a game bigger and better then Fallout 3, in less times, with less money, woth an engine they had never worked with before, compared to when bethesda did it it was with more time, larger budget, larger team, and a familiar engine. All things considered New Vegas came out amazingly, and had bethesda not purposefully been trying to sabotage them (75 metacritic score debacle) and had given then a respectable amount of time to make the game, not halo 2 tier speed rushing (although still an amazing game in its own right) it couldve been the gold standard. Your argument here lacks nuance but do feel free to try again and maybe actually play the game

Sounds to me like you put a ton of stock in the lore, I think 3 is better than NV because it’s atmosphere is better, more interesting interiors and exploration. I wouldn’t say NV is a start improvement, just that it focuses on choice way more, which is great, but F3 is still better in some ways.

It would be the best in series were it not for fusion cores and the fact that you get one within 10 minutes of starting the game

Fuck everything that doesn't completely negate shit weapons like in originals.

I say fuck them all and go to the DLCs. Elijah and Ulysses stories running through them are a better campaign anyways.

>we
I think its one of the better decisions in fallout 4.
It's makes power armor feel like more than just a metal armor +1. 4's way of just shitting it on you in the first quest, requiring no training and eating fusion cores instead of making it a mid to late game rewards sucks balls tho.

That's more of an issue with the damage calculation in general though

"Power armor training" was a Fallout 3 crutch because they couldn't keep you away from good endgame armor during the early game because they wanted to make the Brotherhood a major faction. There's no reason it should exist.

im going to go with a no on that one

You must be pretty terrible at the game because I remember taking on the first group of Super Mutants in 3 with just the starting 10mm and only having a problem because one of them has a rocket launcher. Trying the same with the basic Mutants at Black Mountain is a lot harder

I don't like the idea of the frames. The suits should just be the models, kinda like Iron Man armor. Not a blank canvas wire-frame.

The fusion cores are also dumb.

Other than that, an improvement.

Quests being easily accessible and easy to encounter in an open world game such as this is quite simply good game design.

Not even that, user, but gosh is this image crine as fuck

Atmosphere and exploration is one thing, but I'd say from an actual WRPG perspective, Fallout NV does things better. If you look at things from an exploration standpoint, then indeed Fallout 3 is a better game, I just feel that NV improved on the roleplaying aspect that was sorely missing form Fallout 3 and is what made Fallout iconic to begin with.

If Bethesda weren't stubborn and they actually worked together hand in hand with Obsidian (before Obsidian went to shit) then maybe we could've gotten the ideal Fallout game, but as it stands now that's impossible either way because most of the good writers from Obsidian left and all we're left with is SJWs who entered in after it became popular to like NV and hate 3. That still doesn't stop NV from being the better RPG than 3, but it's true that 3 does things like atmosphere and exploration far better than NV.

The retcon about Europe was just a minor nitpick of mine, I just like worldbuilding, and the idea behind Fallout Recourse Wars before it was cut sounded pretty cool. Europe fighting with the Middle East over recourses and being stuck in this never ending war whilst the US was nuked just sort of expanded on the whole "new world old world" themes that Fallout explores. Especially since the very old world is kinda ignoring the new world in favour of other pastures. It just seemed interesting and Bethesda just kinda ignores it in favour of cool looking schizo-tech and Androids and AI.

Worst fucking bait I ever heard of. The talking Deathclaws were retarded but none of the other shit you mention were actually bad things. The only bad things were the weird pop culture references but everything else from a writing standpoint was an improvement from Fallout 1

I'm sorry but if you think San Francisco was an example of good writing you probably suffer from undiagnosed brain damage

I wouldn’t say I had a PROBLEM, it’s still pretty easy, but the mutants in 3 definitely take more hits to go down than most of the people you fight in NV. The super mutants also mostly carry hunting rifles which are just ok. Normal difficulty in 3 feels pretty normal, but in NV it feels a lot easier

...You do realise that Tweet was a sarcastic reply right?

It wasn't (I forgot to address that point). I'd argue it was the weakest part of the game along with the pop culture references. But to say the writing is worse than Fallout "Kill yourself Mr President" 3 is retarded. It's inferior to 1 definitely but to say it's worse than 3 is dumb. Or to say it's the worst game (that award goes to the Brotherhood of Steel PS2 game) is dumb.

the way it feels is great but they give it too early.
You should get your first power armor while on a quest to a raider camp and it's a raider power armor. later you go on a quest with Preston to a factory where you get a T-45 mid way through the game. Then you have to find the other models of power armor in hard dungeons.

I stash them in a box to get the pure experience.

>So how about the fact that the Enclave are genocidal freaks for no good reason
Explain the Teutonic Knights in history then. Look at pic related. Most of the Enclave are absolute braindeads just like the old Crusader Orders after the initial Crusades were finished. They are brainwashed to kill because of a paranoid old man who has no experience of mutation nor radiation and automatically assumes "radiation" bad. It's pure incompetence with a fanatical leader telling them to go kill things because he's the authority and because radiation bad. Even today people don't understand radiation, my parents used to believe looking at the computer could give you radiation poisoning. People don't educate themselves on this, so to have someone uneducated up top lead everyone into genocide is something that has happened in history time and again. Therefore it's represented as still being possible with the Enclave. it's a depiction of extremism.

>or that Arroyo makes zero sense at all

I think the idea of frames can be reworked for balance. For instance: A broken frame can only use jury-rigged raider armor, but can be repaired and upgraded to support military models. X-01 could require Enclave blueprints to function properly, etc.

Do you? I don't think you get morality for killing Legion NPCs, user. Maybe named ones or in certain zones/quests? Does your affiliation matter?

>The Khan Leader
Oh don't fucking get me wrong. I won't say that Fallout 1 didn't have it's flaws. I hated that fucking Khan leader and the rescuing Tandi mission and anyone that calls it "pleb filter" can shove a cactus up their arse. The ways you could approach that quest where terrible. You can use speech but you don't get any armour and either way it's piss easy and not worth it at all and if you try to fight them to get armour which is more rewarding, you get yourself killed because you're underleveled even if you killed every enemy you encountered (and trying to level up to grind wasn't an option because you had a time limit) and even if you had a pure strength character and brought Ian with you, he just made things worse by getting himself killed through sheer retardation of his AI. The Khan Leader quest was one of the worst parts of Fallout 1. But the difference between that and Fallout 3 was that at least the speech was for a basic first encounter in the game and wasn't late in the game against one of the prime antagonists, and the fact you can do the same thing to Autumn is just as stupid.

FO4 is a better RPG than anything obsidishit ever shat out and all the exact same writers who worked on fnv and prior games worked on tranny and pillars nobody left obsidian after fnv we all know this

>power armor
Its suposed to be a heavy, mechanically-assisted exoskeleton suit, not an actual mechanised frame. Ever saw MCRN or Terran's power armor from Expanse? That is what power armor in Fallout is supposed to be.
Also, its supposed to completely negate anything smaller than 5.56 and most of melee weapons are supposed to be ineffective against it.
All 4 managed was wow factor.

New Vegas is finished, it has everything it needs and Obsidian didn't want to add a single extra thing, it's a miracle they were able to put out four incredible expansions that add endless hours of content to fully immerse yourself in.

You have enough of an intro, the outpost and helping to fix its problems like killing the ants and investigating nipton, boulder city and your choices about fixing that place and whatever else your courier did at that point.

NV is one of my favorite games of all time, but I agree that this part was handled pretty poorly. It would've been a lot better had they figured out a way to at the very least spread it out so that you didn't have a situation with all three factions asking you to come talk to them basically back to back.

In 3 I just felt like I was scrounging around buildings more and they were denser with neat details and environmental storytelling. I also think 3’s world is an interesting combination of bleak and serene. I love NV atmosphere too but a lot of it kind of feels like a normal desert. I don’t think it’s that ridiculous for someone to say they prefer F3.

Might as well ask here, what are the recommended levels for 4’s dlc?

>Flaws aren't there because Bethesda
No, the flaws are still in the game and I don't really care if it's because Bethesda or not.

Also, since I know you're an Obsidian fanboy shitposter, is Bethesda why Alpha Protocol is a buggy piece of shit as well?

Arcade at least adheres to his faction philosophy, even if he acknowledges its shortcomings. He's got snark, but he's nowhere near as in your face about it.

Veronica on the other hand is too far removed from both BoS and wasteland life to seem at all like a believable or well-rounded character, she feels more like somebody's original character. She's a square peg in a round hole.

NV is a solid 8/10 but I don't understand brainlet fanboys treating it like the holy grail of RPGs when both 1 and 2 were better.

How do you roleplay a female character supporting the legion?

It's not in anyway in your best interest unless you got them sex mods.

How do you guys get to play these games? I played NV back in the day on PS3 but everytime I try to play on PC I get caught installing mods and by the time I'm done I don't even want to play it anymore.

Only install a minimal number of mods.
For NV I only use the content restoration mods.

>Women don't magically give a shit about the suffering of other women

Yeah, but there's no reason to expect Caesar wouldn't do the same to you.

You should play first time vanilla, anyways.
Just b urself. Unironically. Have fun.

There's no reason to believe he would, either. If you follow Benny's route you already know the Legion has raiding parties in the Mojave, one that even captured a female Ranger while killing all the others, so why would he send a personal invitation to one of the most dangerous people in the wasteland just to turn around and try to enslave them?

Actually, scratch that. You only find out the worst of what the Legion does to women when you're already in the Fort and by then you're on your way to talking to Caesar in person. By the time you've actually spoken to the asshole, it's clear nothing bad is going to happen as long as you keep him happy.

>bethesdrone false flagging

I'm no woman, but I would think it's just way too much of a risk.

Save manually often, turn off the buggy broken autosave shit, don't take the Wild Wasteland trait first time, play the DLC in release order as it was intended, go hardcore mode to make things not a total snorefest, try to actually stick with a roleplay instead of answering "how I think I would if I was in that situation". Don't level more than two weapon skills. Use INT as a dump stat to get more skill points per level up, don't waste perk picks on VATS shit, exp gain, or shit like the Explorer perk. Use them to strengthen your build and protect any weaknesses.

The only canon romance Courier has is with Red Lucy

kino

never gets old

wow
what a fag

Worst part of the game was adding this perk and only having the one dialogue choice with it.

Are there mods that add more Sneering Imperialist choices?

What about it makes it crash so often? I've had games where I was at the plugin limit and didn't get many crashes.

Complete garbage. It's supposed to be power armor, not a fucking mech suit. It also doesn't have nearly enough in the way of damage mitigation, nor does it have any meaningful presence since you get it in the start of the game. It's also powered by fusion cores and not built in microfusion packs. An absolute travesty of design, easily the second worst decision Bethesda made in Fallout 4.

I think it's just how the mods interact with each other.
That or I suck at modding these games.

Do you anons use the pre order packs at all or do you disable them? I don't like using them since they just dump them on you at the start of the game.

Depends on the character Im making, sometimes I spawn them specific items based on what story I come up for them.

Though the invite is kind of dumb plotwise, the way Caesar tells you how stupid you are for coming more than makes up for it, and makes it actually a good part of the story imo

Mercenaries Grenade Rifle is pretty godlike for the early game. Let's you take out Giant Scorps or the Feral Reavers at that one location west of Nipton.

Did you not pay attention to the story? There's a very big reason that they approached you.

Based zoomer with the iq level of 19

Yeah, you can deny the whole thing and the game will keep it ambiguous on if it was really you or not.

Because Vegas is more than a city, it was a self contained culture of sin and debauchery built on the back of gambling. He recreated Vegas the gambling town, not some city in the remains of Las Vegas

the best in the series, but the cores duration is bullshit, and the armor itself doesn't negate damage (why the fuck they changed the DR%, it was perfectly flawless, a fucking .38 doing more than a scratch? and the fact that in vanilla the armor durability is very low, even with mods is low.

other than that, a very nice improvement, in 76 they are way more durable and effective, and even better, rarer, I hated how in 4 you get a full set of T-45 with a fusion core ready to use.

This is not true, the NCR and Legion people run up to you immediately after leaving the Tops no matter what you do. Beelining straight there without speaking to a soul or entering any other area still results in the same thing

House and Yes Man were fine at that point, but Caesar and NCR were a bit abrupt.
The legion admiring your survival and tracking of Benny prompting them approaching is great, but they should approach outside of Vegas (After a bit of time passed and people heard of your exploits)
The NCR should approach only after you went into the Lucky 38 for a while, because it's in their political interest to get in contact with someone that's "In" with the heart of New Vegas.

It could all still be around the same time, but just spaced out some more so it isn't just "WELCOME TO ACT 2"

THIS is insightful commentary on a games plot, peek Yea Forums posting, and thus receives my upvote. (unironically)

everyone says NV is a more refined FO3, but in some ways, I feel the opposite. NV actually LOOKS worse than FO3 in my opinion, maybe its because the game uses brighter lighting so it doesn't hide the textures as well, but it feels like everything looks a bit more simple and primitive. Not only that, but yes I notice that VATS feels sloppier than 3 too and sometimes doesnt load properly, and the world design is noticably worse where it feels like you are just walking in more or less straight lines across empty desert.

>not because it had basically no questline or story or benefit at all for joining
Player isn't aware of this unless they join them.
Veni Vidi Vici has the lowest percentage on steam because everyone you talk to in Legion is a jackass.

Because its time to move on user... Its the whole point

Adding to my previous point: I don't give a shit about the story or dialogue in NV, in fact, talking to people in NV/3 is the worst because then you realize that they are all recycled talking and bobbing animations and that you're talking to the third copy of another NPC you saw back in Goodsprings. I don't understand what the appeal of NV is, it's just a clunky piece of shit game.

Fear of alienating FO3 audience.

You've got a friend in my, user. FNV is it's own kind of shite, just like all the Fallout games.

>tfw was in that thread
What a wild ride that was.

If you think that when people say "atmosphere" they mean the color of the sky, then you're retarded. They mean the feeling of walking through the ruins of DC, being able to see the devastation. The Feeling of Sheer terror in the tunnels for the first time, etc. New Vegas's Worldspace is shit, and doesn't get on that same visceral layer that F3's did. The only place that matches in New Vegas is walking into Nelson for the first time, and it never really reappears.

So, is the reason why KOTR 2 was rushed Bethesda or Sega, too? Or was that a certain "We sucked so bad at making Fallouts that we went bankrupt" company you seem to love so much?

Its like a cardboard cut out, from the front it looks right but once you actually peek around the corner you see how soulless it really is.

The game is at its best when you mod it to hell and back and ignore the main quest entirely so that you're not constantly reminded who your character is and what he should feel and be doing.

The Lone Wanderer is mad cute Makes me want to play the game

One of the only things FO4 objectively did better than the other games. Still gay how they gift wrap you a full set of it in one of the first quests in the game. People who use the power core argument are retarded, they don't regulate you at all. You can find them all over the damn place, and if you've got half decent charisma money is no object so you can buy them pretty easily.

>they're not a restriction they're just completely pointless
That isn't better

I didn't claim it was.

Why did nobody save the part where he tries to sell the baby at mick and ralphs, decides to use one baby to repair another then blasts it into the sky with a shitload of mines.

life finds a way

Based as fuck

Where's the courier?

wow incredible. It's not like you've entered the fortress of the chairman of the strip. A place where noone has been seen entering for 200 years

In the Stealth Suit

>Do you defend horse armor too?
user your argument only makes sense if in skyrim horse armor was a vanilla machanic. Improving your game isn't a crime, obsidian didn't up the price by 5.99 for the added expense of adding iron sites.

I liked it, but fusion cores lasting so pathetically long was a dumb idea ment to make the game more loot and shooty cause you need to keep recharging them. Power armor should be overpowered, it's an end game item, or at least should be.

It's not even a developed criticism. He just mentioned something about the game and then sarcastically denounced it like it was a big problem.

Do YOU think it's a terrible thing that you meet important characters and receive leads to important quests in the game's central and most important area? If so, fucking why?

>end-game item
>when you fucking get it 10 minutes into the game

You literally fail multiple quests once you lock yourself into one of the 4 factions.

Considering you can kill every NPC in the game except for Yes Man, i'd say no.
