I always have my weapon holstered unless I'm in combat. You run faster when you're not holding a weapon.

EDIT: Welp...

You don't need a mod for that unless you want it for everything. That's the default behavior for anything larger than one-handed weapons.

Presumably it makes you even faster, then? But really it does way way more than just that. It just happened to be a handy lil' perk in this whole modpack.

The details are trivial and pointless. The reasons, as always, purely human ones.

Where the gently caress was Ron Perlman he better show up next season as a wandering Narrator of the Wasteland.

Ron Perlman replying on reddit to an adoring fan's question about whether he liked the Fallout games with "I've never played any video game, ever, you need to get out more, dude." is a moment that will always stay with me, and they need to find a way to have his character say it, ideally while staring directly into the camera

I started the show last night, so I'm only a single episode in and won't get to see anymore till the end of this week. But I'm already 100% hooked and super impressed with how perfectly they nailed the tone and atmosphere.

I haven't played Fallout 4 in quite a long time, but I did go ahead and finally take the plunge on Fallout 76 since its so massively discounted on the PS Store right now. I just wanted to walk around the Wasteland a little before watching it. That seemed to do the trick.

I've owned every Fallout game ever made for a long time EXCEPT 76. I have zero interest in online multiplayer anything.

I tried FO76 during a GamePass trial and spent some time constructing a settlement, only for it to vanish the next time I connected.

76 is a watered down Fallout 4 with lots of assholes, except these assholes are not at all well-written because they're just other players.

I did like how the very first person Lucy meets outside she runs up with her gun pointing at them, like how a player is always running around with their gun out in the games. I know there's a way to holster it, but I don't think anyone who plays ever holsters it unless they have to.

You go 10% faster with your weapon holstered or some such in most games/mods

Not sure how I feel about this show. Huuuuge game fan but something isnt clicking with me.

The production is insanely on point, it all looks so good visually.

Overall sorta lacks a certain tongue in cheek irreverence for me. The writing hasnt really drawn me in and all feels a little too serious for a lot of it and when there is some goofiness it doesnt really land at all for me.

I also find the BOS kid extremely uncomfortable and weird to watch on screen. Just kind of a weird moron that Im not really invested in at all.

I enjoy it but not really chomping at the bits to watch the next episode.

Which episode are you on? I felt the same way about the humor and it improves but not by a whole lot. Some elements that seem stupid are often misdirections and are recontextualized (effectively!) by later events. Maximus' early scenes are rough because of the uninspired military school shenanigans but I ended up liking what they did with his character later.

I would also still appreciate some danger.



It's not until episode 7 or 8 that they confirm Maximus is just a dumbass.

The hints that he's ruthlessly pursuing power for revenge made him out to be a totally different character.

Episode 4 currently. I definitely like it but its just not grabbing me the way I would expect it to as a Fallout fan given its quality in general.

Those cosplays are great. Love to see some of the unexpected costumes too, like the white glove society.

Mojave is a great trip too. Make sure you visit Zion national park while you're in the area.

Also, started to watch the show last night. Mostly liked it, especially in regards to production design. Pacing and dialogue were a little clunky though. Eager to see where it goes, but "From the creators of Westworld" might be a very telling warning sign.

I visited that saloon a bunch of years ago and the woman that served me there said that the owner was annoyed that they didn't get any money from the usage of their place in the game. Which is more than a little silly because it's a historical landmark that's been there since the early 1900s.

Never mind the business the game has generated for them over the years. I mean poo poo, NV is the only reason I went to Goodsprings at all. So of course I popped in there for a couple of beers.

Aborted watching the show during episode two. Nice production values, but I can't get invested in the characters, or their portrayals.
