lol if you forgot about the hilariously, outrageously buggy state that 2 shipped in

and that 1 received a late-in-the-game patch which extended the fairly counterproductive timer on your vault being invaded no matter what

also fallout 2 was bemoaned for years as being "the dumb wacky one" for having stuff like talking deathclaws

didn't jc penny do this and it turned out to be disastrous

only because they did it year round, instead of like 6 weeks tops in multiple events over the whole year

also this thanksgiving sale is definitely going to be a test for them, if it results in crappy sales they'll throw up some daily sales

knuc is right in that the higher difficulty levels are just bullshit. i have a +25% dmg Sniper Rifle that I use, some of the legendary weapons are really awesome.

There's already some decent mods out to, this configuration utility is a must. I've never cared once about FOV but having it 70 rather than 90 really bothered me, it also automates a bunch of little performance improvements.




I'm also using faster terminals, better generators, pipboy shadows, and lowered sprint AP drain because walking takes forever

nice catch

also fo1 and fo2 are probably borderline unplayable to most people now due to their intrinsic systems, leaving aside the whole hardware/widescreen issue

but i really like the franchise anyway

i mean tbf in fallout 3/nv it's p essential to dump a lot of skill points into the relevant gun skills if you're gonna rely heavily on them. they just removed important skills and every other level cool perks with every level perks, which are mixed important/cool

i like in fallout 4 when you take a shot in VATS that's blocked by scenery because the hitboxes don't reflect the graphics but it doesn't tell you so you waste all of your action points

The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose!
It is foolish to compare a 90's turn based strategy/rpg to a modern fps with rpg elements. They aren't the same games. (also fo1 and 2 are also buggy and sloppy, so if anything bethesda remains true to the legacy).

Put down the nostalgia.
