Floppychop posted:Anthem is baffling to me. How do you gently caress up cool flying power armor to the point where it's not fun? You assume that it's going to end up working out in the end because of Bioware "magic", all the while spending several years with an engine not really suited to what you might be doing and not deciding on what the game should even be. I think the guy who was in charge of development when Anthem released had only been in charge of said development for less than two years? Before that, they would just have meetings where no one actually made decisions on what to keep and what to get rid of, managers and lead devs coming and going etc.

I have the Ultimate Edition, and while it helps there are still large gaps. There are quite a few food items that have either one use or no use at all. Install Survival Options Holotape and do it imo. It's pretty fun. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/14650 Also Sofa Surfer https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/24944

I didn't miss this, did I? Bethesda's fix for stolen Fallout 76 inventories is generous and complicated PCGamer posted:Players will be given a clone of their pre-theft character, and will have to arrange a meetup with Bethesda for a merge. It's... certainly something.

Well the dance isn’t permanent, but it’s cheaper and they can blame the players for any mistakes.

I know this is dumb as hell, but I'm trying to draw a listing of recipes from 4 and 76 that can be directly added, like... roasted ant... and I came across the lore of tatos. Namely, tatos being a hybrid of the extinct tomato and potato in 4 lore. Despite that potatoes being live and well in New Vegas. Different parts of the country I guess, but drat. Also, that is a dumb hybrid and acknowlaging it as gross and dumb doesn't take away from it.

A tomato/potato hybrid that somehow grew potatoes in the dirt and tomatoes above the dirt would be neat as hell though.

Tbh I like the idea of just this weird thing existing, no explanation really. Instead of trying to nuke out the deets of some failed WestTek experiment that was actually paid for by the Institute to do some nefarious thing, and that’s why it’s here and there but not the other place too. Game dev: “Idk, man. It’s just an ugly lil food crop thing” Bethesda writer: “But what is it’s story??? It’s motivations??? It’s reason for being?????”

You can’t just grow one, you make it by growing a tomato plant and a potato plant and grafting them together. Still cool though. Turns out they’re both in the nightshade family.

I mean, when I say lore it's mostly just flavor text of Elder Maxon going "Ew, gross. It's like an extict tomato that tastes like a potato." I'm just exceedingly cranky about being unable to backport more recipes because one of the staple crops is *almost* a tomato. The Mojave seems to just have less mutated plant life than the other wastelands, outside Vault 22.

I ran a fallout RPG game set in the Morongo valley of California. No one decided to nuke it because it wasn’t really a military target, which meant the Joshua tree rangers feuding with the retro rat pack of Palm Springs.

Not to start an FNV vs FO3 debate (except actually yes) but I've been playing Old World Blues and I got thinking about how Old World Blues as it's described as an ideological concept in the Wasteland could be applied to the rest of New Vegas. Everyone in the Mojave is chasing a dream from the past rather than looking to the future. The NCR wants a return to form. The Legion draws on Rome. House is obsessed with the idea of Vegas that should have died way more than 200 years ago, and the Khans and Brotherhood lament their lost glories of days gone by. It's an interesting concept when contrasted against 3 and 4 where factions draw on Prewar iconography as a kitschy means of identity because New Vegas doesn't really treat any of these old world blues obsessed factions as being all that great. The Minutemen being revolutionary war militia is played straight, while New Vegas says "those Roman cosplayers kinda suck." It's not a surprise then that I gravitate towards the group's in the Mojave that are trying to make a go at starting a new life. Once you get past the xenophobia the Boomers are just normal people getting by. The Super Mutants just want to be left in peace. The Followers are actively developing new medicines and science to build on top of what is already there. Westside is pretty self sufficient compared to other Vegas communities. They don't dwell on the past and instead look to the future.

The same theme runs through the other DLCs. Dead Money is centered around a monument to pre-war excess that drives people to ruin simply by being a tangible piece of the old world to fixate on. Honest Hearts is a little disconnected from the other DLCs, but still has themes of fixation on the past with Daniel and Joshua squabbling over their interpretations of a nearly-dead religion with lives hanging in the balance. Lonesome Road, well, yeah. Really, all OWB did was put a name to the phenomenon that the entire game revolves around.

Westside was run by the Kings. Boomers were obsessed with Old World tech. The super mutants and the Followers are really the only ones trying to move forward. I like that you have the choice to convince Arcade to move forward or reconnect with his Enclave past, the latter resulting in a bad ending for him. Edit: I also just remembered the Boomers had a museum to their glorious history that they used to indoctrinate their children in a very creepy cult-like manner.

I think the Boomers are trying to move forward as well. Once the Courier gets to them, Pearl uses it as an opportunity to try and have the others start getting used to outsiders. You can even convince them to let that one Crimson Caravan employee to stay with them, and some of the endings have them start venturing out in the wasteland.SwitchbladeKult posted:Edit: I also just remembered the Boomers had a museum to their glorious history that they used to indoctrinate their children in a very creepy cult-like manner. I don't remember if other kids go into the museum. The only kid there is the tour guide, and I think he's just filling in for the actual guide. The one that's more of a creepy cult to me is Jason Bright.

im not sure about FO4 factions really leaning that heavily on prewar I mean, the Minutemen are definitely tapping into that imagery but its also just a (barely functioning) citizen's self-defense force against all the dangers of the commonwealth. It doesn't fit in FNV but that's because it'd probably be more at home in Fallout 1 or 2. A Minuteman ending Diamond City could possibly go on its way to be an east coast NCR in time, though, and probably run into the same problems as the NCR The Maxson-led Brotherhood has already moved on in a sense, breaking with West Coast traditions and recruiting locals, adopting a more "save the common people" stated mission goal. Only thing is this just leads to expansionism and a still very narrow definition of who "people" are But the Railroad isn't really tied into anything prewar besides what they can find. There's the freedom trail, sure, but that's just a test/trap. It's not like they're sitting around listening to holotapes of the prewar and imitating it, and they only have a very vague organizational history due to compartmentalization and tradecraft. If anything they're probably closest to the Followers in being a completely post-war organization And Institute is its own thing, reflected in its more later 60s/early 70s aesthetic which is a departure from the more raygun-scifi feel elsewhere. They were never looking back at the Prewar days, working towards something new instead i guess there's the atom cats
