That was one of the things I remember Mister Bibbs always going off about. He was weirdly insistent that Fallout 3 was the more correct portrayal of super mutants and was made that New Vegas made them more like they were in the first 2 games.

About once a year I try to give NV another playthrough but after a few days I get distracted then don't look at it for weeks and have trouble remembering where I left off.

I think my last autosave was after I completed Dead Money and I was transferring all that sweet expensive loot to the Gun Runners.

That means if I load it up again I might find myself halfway through Old World Blues.

That also means that I'm now thinking of starting a fresh playthrough. I have done this dozens of times over the past 12 years.

Somebody who is funnier than me can make a "[something], [something] never changes." joke.

It was weirder than that. All his opinions seemed to work backwards from a small thing that he liked or disliked. He hated the cazadore thing obviously, and because he hated it that meant it was objectively bad game design, and because Obsidian designed it that meant they were an objectively bad developer, and because Bethesda was a rival (??) of Obsidian that meant they were on the correct side and thus were an objectively good developer.

If you ever pressed him on it he'd act like it was the most obvious conclusion you could come to, but he could never provide any more arguments or examples because he had none

just marvel at this quote:

It's interesting to note that Bethesda, the aforementioned developer who knows how make fun video games for people who like video games (and are better at franchises than their original developers), has zero design flaws on par with NV's Cazadore Valley.

I think it's more like the modern "you need a valid ID to vote". It's a entirely trivial (and reasonable) level of security, but there's a boatload of :qq:y nonsense about how it's such a Horrible Thing.

MisterBibs posted:

So from this thread, things that are Totally Horrible Things For A Government To Dare Ask Their Citizens:

- Know one of the two presidents they've had
- Know the largest city in the Nation
- Know what the flag is
- To (usually freely) get a small slip of plastic designed to fit into a thing you keep your money in.

MisterBibs posted:

Thanks for proving my point, that rather than do something simple that a lot of people do (have an ID, be capable of basic testing), they spend the effort talking about why they shouldn't have to do it instead of doing the basic task.

Bethesda kind of was a rival to obsidian lol. I can never find the interview but during the acquisition stuff someone went on record saying that Todd Howard personally intervened to prevent Obsidian getting any more spin off work and that he's been sore assed the last decade about New Vegas being the more popular and more discussed title lol. Makes sense. They spent a lot of time before FO3 came out gassing up how big of a fan Todd Howard and the team were personally of fallout and how they were going to Do It Right and then we got the wow cool power armor version of it.

Odds are he's trolling but I don't think his behaviour is that far outside the norm, and people are offering interesting insights into baking and poo poo. I feel like part of the reason most cafes and restaurants fail - and it is very much a small part, but still *a* part - is cos only a loving fool would set up a cafe or restaurant

That's why I played Pillars 2 instead of the original tbh, not a good enough gamer for RTWP. Game owns though.
