My most memorable encounter with nexus users was being told that actually I was the real pedophile for objecting to a mod that added a playboy bunny outfit for kids into fallout 3.

How would you know what a pedo would like if you weren't a pedo yourself? HMMMMM? :smug:

I dropped the frontier out, added JSawyer and some other mods and started a new game. If maybe the devs come back to it in future to clean it up and remove some of the dumb elements i might be willing to give it a try.

I wonder what the exact incomparability was. You know, something benign like conflicting level lists or something more serious.

Darnified UI. Make sure you download the extensions for it off of the Nexus or it won't work properly. Specifically the Font Dummies mod to make sure it doesn't break tables.

I still can't help but think there's just a biiiit of a difference between Fisto asking if you would like "assume the position" vs. you telling a Deathclaw "I'm a sick gently caress I like a quick gently caress"

That second one actually does sound like a joke, though.

Dunno about the rest.

The deathclaw encounter was originally Wild Wasteland only, and led to you waking up with all your limbs broken. The quick gently caress line is also a Kanye lyric. I think it was a Fisto-esque joke that didn't land, not ready comparable to a lot of the fetish poo poo

I heard you could kill the final boss via Caravan with WW too. Diamonds in the roughpile I guess.

Didn’t fallout 3 let you join the enclave but it made zero sense from a story perspective since it meant you’d sabotage the water supply you’d be drinking and poison yourself for no gain and with no explicable character motivation? I know fallout 2 flat out didn’t let you join the enclave since it would be suicidal since theyd just kill you for being a wastelander. The people in the comments of that guy’s videos seem way too angry about that instead of all the insanely stupid poo poo in the rest of the mos

You didn't join, they still shot laser guns at you every time you saw them. But you could enact the robot presidents genocide plan despite the fact that since you were born outside a Vault it would also kill you lmao

To be honest don't get why so many people (other places, not here) are so hung up on not being able to join the Enclave in the Frontier. They are literally nothing more than fascists. At least the Legion has an in-setting reason for the way it behaves. The Enclave are just a holdover mishmash of 90s parody of American conservatives and obvious Nazi allegory. They've been killed to pieces multiple times and should never show up again tbh.

edit: Wait nevermind I just realised why nerds would want to join the fascist faction

How the Enclave appeared in New Vegas should've been the only way they did in the new games.

If they did something interesting with the enclave, like have them realize they're getting overtaken by the new wasteland society's and have to adapt, then I think you could make a play at having them in again. Although that would be real close to stepping on the western brotherhood's toes.

I just don't think they've even got a fair shake, they sucked in F2 and they sucked when bethesda reused the same drat plot for F3. I think they got potential but I don't think either obsidian, or bethesda can capitalize.

Yeah their defining characteristic is that they hate wastelanders and want to kill tham

Like the legion you can easily come up with character motivations for the courier to join but the only reason you could possibly join the enclave is bc you’re the dang joker and want to kill yourself. Even then they wouldn’t let you join on account of their “kill all wastelanders” policy

I haven't played the Frontier but from what I've seen, the issue isn't "I want to join the Enclave but can't because they're a bunch of genocidal racists and won't let me" and "the Enclave are apparently recruiting people but my character just wants to call them a bunch of genocidal racists".

Pretty much, you could probably replace that line with "Wait, why would I want to join the guys who had an entire oil rig annihilated by some random tribal" and no one would have batted an eye

the main point I have when it comes to "why can't I join the Enclave" is that the Enclave straight up would never recruit a filthy subhuman mutated human from the wasteland. Maybe times have changed and they're more flexible now, but if so then you should just make up another faction instead of resurrecting the corpse of one that wasn't even that great to begin with.

The Encalve have gone from "this is how nationalism and fascism dehumanise people and hold them back, and these old people are full of regret and bitterness decades later" to "wow cool power armour".

You could also blow up the Brotherhood's HQ at the end of Broken Steel and make both factions your enemy for literally no plot or gameplay reason otherwise.

Caesar and The Master were interesting villains. You could have an actual debate with them in game and question their ideologies, and prove them wrong.
