Just in case people missed it

quote:

SPIEGEL ONLINE: In the Microsoft press conference was announced that created by PC Fan extensions to run on the Xbox One. If you have to pay for some mods? In “Skyrim” Bethesda has experimented with a Mod-payment option , which was withdrawn after fan protests.

Howard: How long was the online payment system? 24 Hours? I can only speak for the present time, but currently there are no plans for a payment system.

Hopefully nobody tries to add in plans in the future but FOR NOW at least no paid mods.

If you really want to show how dumb Fallout 3's plot was, you don't need to write a massive 3 part essay or anything, just this



idk that kind of reads like some nitpicky as gently caress bullshit and considering the many better valid criticisms of the plot that's super weak. except for the bit where your radiation immune companions won't help you out.

I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

I still don't understand how a device that scrubs radiation out of water can so consistently vent radiation into the control room.

Yeah, it gets pumped into a ghoul they found until it becomes super strong and huge, then they plate it in armor and call it Liberty Prime 2.0

Little Lamplight was also poo poo. Bunch of kids who only got like one assault rifle for all of them somehow managed to survive with their only defense against raiders and supermutants being two flimsy walls.

The worst part is:

"You are my employer and I will do as you command."

He's a brainwashed robot of a ghoul who refuses to walk into what is basically a pleasant sauna for his kind and press a few buttons. Granted, he refuses to seek out Vault 87's GECK on account of "refusing to be somebody's errand boy" (despite his entire contract revolving around doing things that are errands), but walking into a room to press a few buttons hardly seems like it would encroach on the crystal clear legal definition of an "errand boy".

as for the enclave and the water purifier he's ignoring the Enclave's stated goal of using the clean water as leverage over the rest of the wasteland in their bid to take over.
The game itself tries pretty hard to ignore it. I'm fairly certain the only time Autumn's grand evil plans for the purifier are brought is if you try to talk him down at very end of the game.
If you're like me and shot him, you'd have no clue what Autumn was trying to accomplish.

Not just super mutants but bad mother fucker rear end end game mutants. I didn't care though because little lamplight owned. People think too much. I laughed my balls off walking down that tunnel for the first time and running into a little poo poo-talking kid telling me to gently caress off.

Little Lamplight is a lot more fun if you imagine all the kids are Cartman and friends playing Mad Max.

I like stealing objects out from under other objects and then watching the objects on top kind of hover there like Wile E. Coyote before they remember to fall a second later.

Whoever designed Lamplight was a sadist who knew perfectly well those kids were impossible to bypass

Whoever approved Lamplight was an idealist who thought there must have been a hidden path besides the torturous official sequence.
