To be fair that's just one of three ways it can play out, I think you can also hack Liberty Prime to destroy the Brotherhood or blow it up outright if you side with the institute.

True, I just wish Bethesda had done something different for it with the Brotherhood.

Have Liberty Prime punt cars onto the battlefield as a makeshift artillery piece. They already have the framework in place with the Minutemen artillery.

Unrelated to the current discussion, do Feral Ghouls respawn (or just spawn depending where the player goes) in the Super Duper Mart or whatever it's called? Because holy poo poo there's a lot of them.

This thread is moving extremely fast. Is there a way I can disable the "if you don't do X% damage to a NPC, you get 0 XP" thing with companions? I'm finding myself increasingly annoyed by it.

I think you should be able to put them in the workshop but I think that requires you to drop them on the ground anyways...

The game auto scraps items.

He's talking about stuff like fedoras or suits that can't be modified.

With dogmeat you need to trade with him and then there should be an equip key listed over armour in his inventory. He can wear bandannas and stuff.

I think because in older games they'd default to equipping the best quality stuff they had on hand and you don't necessarily want that if you're giving them a whole bunch of stuff.

I think the assumption is that you may want to play dressup with your mans and may also want them to just carry stuff. Once you set it up it shouldn't change.

Essentially the system allows you to play dog dressup simulator 2016 so it's a good one, though it could be more transparent.

I just got done sneaking through the area and heading to freeside to pull slots and get the +1 int implant like last night. Was piss easy.

Now sadly, I leveled up since I ran into like every bark scorpion ever and had to slash them up with my straight razor so I didn't get max int at level 1 but ya know whatever.

Everybody's talking at me
After looting a lot of junk from the Corvega factory, I learned some Fallout logic: Gears aren't gears. They are just steel.



Was trying to build some turrets at a new settlement. Now I have to travel back to Sanctuary and find some junk in my box that actually counts as gears. I wish your workshop inventory would let you sort by what components a piece of junk will give you. Your Pip-Boy inventory does. I suppose I could just Take All to help find things. Is there an easier way?

Found a way to make base building enjoyable: give your primary base 5000 of every crafting mat then run supply lines to it from everywhere else and build all their needs in one go never worry about it again except to setup artillery strikes.

There Diomedes aimed and stabbed, he gouged him down
his glistening flesh and wrenched the spear back out
and the brazen god of war let loose a shriek, roaring,
thundering loud as nine, ten thousand combat soldiers
shriek with Ares' fury when massive armies clash.
I've been using the military cammies as my base uniform for the past 10 levels now. I really wish they hadn't locked you out from adding the shoulder, etc attachments to most of the clothing you find.

New Vegas represented Obsidian's attempt to argue that, in the modern age of gaming, they still know what Fallout is, or what's best for it. It's a statement that the West Coast of Fallout still matters, that there's still interesting threats to be had after Super Mutants and the Enclave are gone.

Unfortunately, it was made after a company that had just brought back from the pit of unacceptability/obscurity by a mainstream developer. And it worked. They made a Fallout better than its original developers could hope to do. The only reason Obsidian was allowed to make NV was because Bethesda did the heavy lifting of creating an acceptable Fallout 3. Obsidian tried that (iirc) and the result was Van Buren.

New Vegas, not 3 or 4, is a rejection of the soul of Fallout.

What the gently caress is this poo poo.

So I'm 12 hours into this loving game and I have not seen hide nor hair of a loving Power Fist. I'm level 16 and have some modded knuckles as my weapon, but where in gently caress's name is a goddamn Power Fist? Hell I'd settle for a Power Fist knockoff, or at least an unarmed weapon that wasn't knuckles or boxing gloves.
