Building Airships is like the coolest thing the BoS ever gets up to, though?

He was in Justified I think, did well and got paid, and now he's acting in other series and getting paid. He's absolutely a character actor, but that's a good paying and creatively fulfilling role in Hollywood if you're not a jerk about it. I don't see anything Goggins should be upset about. e: i was wrong! he's not a character actor! he was just the lead dating dad with kids on a sitcom for two years! he's doing great!

If the BOS is building airships then maybe would could have an dogfight between them and the NCR airforce. Who am I kidding. The NCR will probably barely be a thing in the show because it's not apocalyptic enough. Do you think Inon Zur or Mark Morgan could come and do music for the show.

It'll at least be a perfectly above average paint by numbers nerd action show if the antagonist has a motivation more advanced than "my plans are too advanced to be explained to you, also I'm putting you in charge of the Institute in a direct act of nepotism."

Wasn’t the halo tv series preemptively declared non canon and then quietly forgotten about? Hope whatever dumb stuff happens in this series doesn’t end up restricting whatever future west coast game that gets made

I think it's fair that Bethesda set their games on the East coast since everyone at Bethesda lives their and probably a lot of them grew up there. Of the problems with with Fallout 3 and 4, I would not call geographic setting to be one of them.

Not trying to emulate someone else's style, a chance to do their own thing with the setting, working with the regions and spaces they're more familiar with- And then Super Mutants, Deathclaws, the resurgent Brotherhood of Steel, the Enclave...

Yeah we were all super-pissed that New Vegas wasn't all about those things. Who the gently caress was that Caeser idiot? The gently caress was I doing shooting these Night Stalkers and Cazadores and not more giant green people?

The problem with Fallout 3 isn't that it had these things, it's that the game treats having these things as what defines the franchise, rather than storytelling or themes. We need the BoS in the spotlight for each game and story because how else are we going to put a power armor helmet in a different pose on the cover?

dolphinbomb posted:they're going to have Liberty Prime in the show because bethesda can't fuckin help themselves I didn't play through the Fallout 4 BOS storyline, and I never finished the story because I thought it as stupid that I couldn't get the Minuteman and Railroad to see eye to eye. When I found out that of all things, Liberty Prime makes a reappearance, I was like "Of course they (the writers) loving did that." One of the good things in Fallout 3 that has withstood both the death of the initial hype and the rising tide of cynicism, mostly because it's so... camp? If that's the word. I feel people still like Liberty Prime, the 'character' of the xenophobic Robby The Robot the size of Godzilla. It's one-note and surface level but it's enjoyable. And sure, in the multiversal media landscape it may seem quaint, but I accept it's typically fun to occasionally meet characters from old games. Apparently Sierra from 3 appears in Nuka World, which makes perfect sense. But Liberty Prime's not a character that could have voluntarily walked to Boston so it raises so, SO many questions about the logistical difficulty and why they need this specific scientist and what tactical purpose was it supposed to serve and baaaaarrrrrrrfffff.

You can get the Minutemen and Railroad to work together, unless you do the thing that the leader of the Railroad tells you "If you do this, we will never trust you again." I think it's impossible to get the Railroad and Brotherhood to cooperate if you're working with one of their factions, but as leader of the Minutemen it's possible to get all three groups to tolerate each other. Liberty Prime is a superweapon, so it makes sense that the guys who love high-tech weapons would make an effort to keep him working. I assume they flew him over on their airship. Liberty Prime in California would really stretch belief, though.

No, it isn't. All of the big three factions will send you to kill the other two if you do their questlines. The only way to avoid having the Brotherhood and Railroad kill each other is to advance the Institute quest to the Bunker Hill fight, sabotage it, tell Son to gently caress off, and then go to the Brotherhood as it will skip the extermination mission and go straight to killing the Institute. None of them "tolerate" each other and none of them "cooperate" with each other, even going pure Minutemen, you just don't do their faction quests.

Do The Nuclear Option with the Minutemen, evacuate the Institute, and avoid antagonizing the Brotherhood, and all three factions will be around after the Institute is destroyed. Source, also I have played a lot of Fallout 4 and this is usually the ending I try to get. The story is badly written, but that particular complaint is not true.

No. There’s nothing requiring a Railroad player to kill the Minutemen or vice-versa. In fact, both Preston and Desdemona have dialogue commenting on you working with the other faction and saying that it’s worth reaching out when you’re building the teleporter. The Railroad and the Minutemen require you to fight the Institute eventually. The Railroad also requires fighting the Brotherhood of Steel, while it’s optional for the Minutemen.

If anything being able to actually destroy the Minutemen instead of them being the Yes Man-style default would make the game a little better lol

My favorite outcome of Nuka World is having Preston castigate you for being a bandit, say he will never trust you again and that you aren’t friends, then still have you as leader of the minute men and act as a quest giver.

The "big three" are the Institute, the Railroad, and the Brotherhood, the ones that game bends you to investing most of your time and interest in, and they all have you kill the other two (excepting the aforementioned workaround for the Brotherhood and the Railroad). The Minutemen exist as a kind of fallback option if you alienate the others. The extent of your "collaboration" is doing the exact same questline you'd have done for any given one of them, and the most acknowledgement you get is to swap a data tape between two factions that's just a flag to continue their questlines. Anyway, then they released Nuka-World, and with that you can make it so completing the game is nearly-impossible by also alienating the Minutemen.

Prime was shipped in pieces - the Brotherhood stuff where you rebuild Prime shows the components and the reconstruction progresses as you complete the quests for them.
