Anyone know how long it takes for a female to give birth in Shelter? It's been awhile now and it seems stuck until one of them gives birth so I can have another follower.

hemophilia posted:It's okay to chill out and enjoy video games sometimes, you know. I can't imagine hate-playing a game for 50 hours but it sounds tedious and exhausting. the hate is an aggregate thing, not something going on every instant of play. if it caused me that much pain to try to do science, I wouldn't've tried. but when the whole world says something is great and you see no real virtue in it, there is, at least for me, a desire to try and understand. sometimes that's rewarding! with Bethesda games, it hasn't been so far. individual moments are just weak. it's only when I step back and view the whole experience, in the context of everyone else saying how wonderful it is, that I get the twitching horrors.

I would say that the main story looks like being pretty short again, based on the amount of effort spent on gameplay enhancements like better animations, better crafting, dynamic style raids on your towns etc. That stuff all looks like it is designed to plug and play. Also no real shots of heavily populated centres, but then again maybe they had only got around to finishing the overworld and none of the towns were done yet. No mention of faction alliances, so there is probably little chance that there will be any of those quests (probably a good thing based on the aggressively terrible faction quests in Skyrim). Also voice acting limitations.

You'd think the success of Pillars and Wasteland 2 would at least be some evidence in favor of the idea, and it wouldn't need a AAA zillion dollar budget. Then I could have a cool world with cool quests without Bethesda's nightmare engine actively trying to ruin my enjoyment throughout

I will say, though I'm not liking most of what I'm seeing in it, the graphics and general art design are much nicer.closeted republican posted:So basically you're unwilling to let even the tiniest bit of your nostalgia of playing FO1 and FO2 as a kid go. You really are the prototypical hardcore Fallout fanboy. Eh I played 1 and 2 after playing (and really disliking) 3 and (and really liking) NV because I wanted to see where the series came from, and I still think they stand up as RPGs today. The inventory system is irredeemable crap, but the music, art design and what have you are still really strong. I think the "play the game with any type of character!" thing is overblown, becauase my diplomatic guys all petered out around just past the hub, but i like them a lot more than 3. It's not just a nostalgia thing, some people prefer fallout the RPG over fallout the janky combat sim.

If this is the price I have to pay to get rid of independent worldspaces then bring it on imo. It does look like this is something they were going for. Many of the destroyed buildings seem very 'open', like you could fall through their roofs etc. Hopefully they tried to minimise invisible walls as much as possible.

The problem is that it wouldn't need a zillion dollar budget, so it will never happen. poo poo gets stupid when your IP is AAA. I'm not too worried about that, though. New Vegas proved that a fantastic Fallout game can be made in first person (albeit with a nightmare engine), and if you want an isometric game, play Pillars or Wasteland 2 or Tides of Numendarea or the mysterious "Van Buren" trademark inxile has registered. It'd be nice to have a new Fallout game, but I don't know if even Obsidian could do it with Skills being thrown in the loving trash. That's like half the SPECIAL system.

I like the isometric games as much as the first-person ones, but I admit there are several flaws in the isometric games (FO1 moreso), just as there are in the first-person ones. Putting the isometric games on a pedestal as some sort of gold standard does a disservice to the franchise as a whole IMO because it's much more than just those two games. I can understand liking them more than the first-person ones, but stuff like "THE FIRST PERSON GAMES RUINED THE FRANCHISE" is completely stupid.

Moira everyone remembers. Tenpenny because who doesn't remember nuking megaton at least once? The vampire/cannibal cult always stuck with me, but that MIGHT just be because they had the schematics for my favorite weapon ever. Three dog because, well, he's loving Three Dog. And I feel Liberty Prime should count as a character. The german scientist guy in the VR sim will always remain one of the most hosed-up people ever in my heart, I loved that character. Spending hundreds of years torturing, murdering, and then resetting people who were only vaguely aware of their hellish existence was definitely something that stuck with me. I won't pretend I remember his name at all. As far as Followers I had a tendancy only to use Fawkes, Star Paladin Cross, Dogmeat, and occasionally Sergeant RL-3. The others I almost always forget about, though that's mostly because I play 'good' playthroughs in games roughly 95% of the time. I don't think I've ever recruited that evil slave girl.
