That Gun is great. I love the little "bweeee" sound when reloading.

The Holorifle is really neat, both as a concept, and in damage performance. The idea of shooting solid blocks of light at things in order to kill them is pretty cool.

I prefer my unique weapons to be somewhat different from the standard weapons. Ol' Painless is sweet and all, but it's just a more powerful Hunting Rifle. Same with Eugene and the standard Minigun.

Was it New Vegas or 4 that had the unique baseball bat that sent corpses flying when you killed dudes with it? Because that thing was fun.

They've literally said in every interview that griefing is something they are worried about and they'll have to constantly work on preventing. They announced some ideas they think will be cool and fun that will help but I don't recall anywhere anyone saying "it's not going to be a problem". That's not exactly "smug about how absolutely sure they've nipped griefing in the butt".

Pete Hines has figuratively never not been smug about everything he says and does. In interviews after Quakecon, he seems pretty unconcerned about griefing because, as he described it, Fallout 76 is not exclusively a PvP game and he is under the general impression that a player's first response to seeing another player isn't going to be to kill each other; which anyone who has ever played any online open world game can tell you is the furthest thing from the truth.

Meh. That's like many places irl I've seen. You must be accustomed to living in wealthy places. People scrabbling to survive don't have the extra time to sweep up garbage. Not to mention, why would they give a poo poo? That's such a ridiculous bourgeois sentiment.

Preeetty sure my granny would climb out of her grave to give it a sweep.

Not living with literal piles of trash in your actual house is not an affectation of the bourgeoisie.

This is the most idiotic argument ever, yet people keep reusing it. Throughout the years people IRL have gone through numerous apocalyptic events, yet at no point did they stop "sweeping up the garbage". They buried they dead and rebuilt after the 30 year war. They buried their dead and rebuilt after Mongol conquests. They buried their dead and reuilt after the Rwanda genocide. They buried their dead and rebuilt after the Khmer Rouge.

It is against human nature to live in filth, and it's been a fixture of human activity since prehistoric times to clean up one's environment. Bethesda is just lazy and dumb about creating actually lived in places for Fallout.

If anything the most vulnerable people tend to be most festidious, on the aggregate level. As Gandhi said, nobody represents the virtues of cleanliness and purity better than the untouchables, i.e. the people most likely to suffer from such conditions.

You're supposed to be disappointed, kind of? That's how that story works. It's one of my favorite things to get companion reax on, that and the Natesicle/Norasicle.

I like the Broadsider, even though the projectile drop makes it an extremely VATS weapon.

It was great. I got a neverending railway rifle that was a lot of fun. Too bad the spikes were a pound for five so it's almost entirely a not-Survival gun.

Where are these mounts of trash inside people's houses in Fallout 4?

wait what the fuck??

F4 seemed better about the trash thing. It only really bothers me in NV, a game which is all about the rise of sophisticated new societies which apparently can't scrub the drat floors or fix their shattered windows. Even then, I sympathize with obsidian given that F3 asset reuse wasn't really a choice with nine months of dev time.

To be fair, have you ever looked at those areas *without* the trash? The art is obviously meant to be amply covered with clutter. Without the trash, a lot of places just look sorta... empty.

I'm a big fan of Energy Weapons in general. The Holorifle was "take it back to the Mojave" good. I do like the look of the LAER though. Very retro chic.

The Red Glare was fun too. New Vegas was diligent about making sure to add a bit more diversity to otherwise static weapon sets like explosives and fists.

Both of these were already mentioned, but This Machine and Thump Thump got me through the Battle for Hoover Dam in my first New Vegas run, so I always think of them fondly.

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned the Survivalist's Rifle, so I'll do it. I like that gun, despite (or maybe because of) the wonky sight. Plus, you know, it was Randall Clark's, and he has the best story in Honest Hearts.
