I've got a level 84 character who has over a hundred fusion cores, and the only console commands I've used were to get a bunch of those material shipments because gently caress that while trying to ensure settlements had the minimum so I wasn't constantly messaged about them being under attack.

I just traded my infinite supply of Jet I got from Brahmin poo poo and plastic for infinite glass shipments so I could build the Gatsby mansion of my dreams on Nordhagen Beach  Seeing the Kings would rule, as would (idk how lore friendly this is, timing wise?) some of the Followers of the Apocalypse. Would also love to see Maximus or Thaddeus lose their earthly possessions at the Tops poker table. Honestly the inter tribe casino family thing was always super interesting to me, I really hope they do something with that

Don't assume game mechanics are meant to represent the "actual setting". Until 4, fusion cores were pretty much unlimited energy, but they changed that but nothings saying that this is actually how they function. LIke how Vats is available before you get the pipboy. Its not because you're a synth in 4, its because thats were they put the VATs part of the tutorial.

I mean it makes sense cause people could say "I want my own wasteland adventures" and be pleased with these games, but not so much TLOU or Sonic?

Was The Last of Us just an adaptation of the game's story? The Fallout show is its own story in the world, so it's easy to jump into any game and it has the same feel as the show.

The next season will be a play-through of Fallout New Vegas. If you play videogames at all, you should try them out. And for ease of access the game console versions are completely serviceable and you don't need million mods "to make them actually good", unlike many people in this forum and elsewhere in the Internet will tell you. Just do what interests you, and every now and then budge the main story forward. After watching the TV show you know enough about the story to skip Fallout 1 and 2, which while are very, very excellent games, are slow burn isometric RPGs and very sloggish for the first 10-15 levels.

If you've never played a Fallout game and you watch this show, congratulations, you've now played a Fallout game. It does an extraordinary job of portraying not just the look and vibe of the games, but also a lot of the gameplay experience. So yeah, I would second the recommendation to try one of the games (4 or 76 being the most accessible) if you enjoyed it.

I do want to play the game now! I'm not really good at video games though. lol are there any cheats? Can I type "kill" in the console (like in Skyrim) and just get rid of enemies. I'd love to enjoy the setting and story I just hate creepy crawly stuff and bad at games. edit: opened up Steam and I guess I got a copy of New Vegas at some point. I should play it

I'd recommend that or Fallout 4. 4 is the most refined one, and if you decide to ignore the "build new settlements"-aspect of it, it plays more or less exactly like the earlier ones. And if you like playing post-apocalyptic 1st person Sims then this is definitely a thing for you. And if you like them and can score Fallout 76 for less than 15 USD/EUR, give it a try. It is a MMORPG, but the design mentality is pretty much "single player campaign where other players also mess around in the same map". It does not have monthly fee either, Fallout 1st subscription is voluntary and does not really lock you out of any content or progress or other things you can do, you just get care packages that makes life easier.

If you're not very good at games fallout 4 is probably a lot better place to start. While the main story line and characters are nowhere near as good, it's a lot more friendly to new players and the easy setting is real easy. Fallout 4 is a lot easier to just jump right in and just wander around exploring poo poo, it's what the game's best at. Just wandering around randomly at the start of fallout new vegas can get you killed pretty fast if you go in the wrong direction and don't know what you're doing. Although it usually does telegraphy pretty well, "hey, maybe don't go this way immediately." It's not like early Seirra adventure games type sadistic. dr_rat fucked around with this message at 22:04 on May 10, 2024 |

Yes, Fallout New Vegas wants you to take the south route to New Vegas and means it. If the story tells you to go somewhere, it points you towards the next level-appropriate place. And it takes time to reach New Vegas. Wandering north-northeast from the starting area puts you to a mid- to end-game enemies, which you obviously are not supposed to be able to deal with. It also has areas that are interesting to explore, but are severely underdeveloped as the developer was given a shortened deadline to get the game to the at-times Xmas markets or something. For example there is the entire East New Vegas (or something similar), you enter there through a generic gate element which is usually locked or inactive. It is at best a "at beta-testing" level area.

It definitely the most streamlined of the series, with least RPG mechanics so it play more like typical shooter. But it sure as poo poo ain’t refined.

It is up to what you define as refined. It is starter friendly, everything scales to the player and you really cannot get completely f**ked if you don't know how to game the system or are unfamiliar with the lore.

I mean, if you're interested in the story and the setting but don't actually want to play the game as a game (seriously, just hammering on /kill isn't a great experience), the Storyteller Fallout Lore series on YouTube is probably a better way to go.

Seconding the idea that Fallout 4 has the slickest gunplay and the fewest crashes, but the writing is simplistic and the player character's personality is fairly locked down by the narrative. New Vegas has by far the best writing of the newer first-person Fallout games, and it's probably my favorite game in general. With all that said, I think Fallout 3 is the best introduction to the series, where the PC grows up in a vault. Even if you don't actually play the rest of the game, play the intro until you pull a Lucy and walk out into the wasteland. Then either keep going or switch to a different game.

Finally finished the series, it was drat good fun and I hope to see more! I think probably my favorite little thing was in Episode 7 when Lucy discovers that the Vault 4 people were exactly what they appeared to be: really nice if odd people who wanted to help people, and couldn't help but go out of their way to be helpful even when they were sentencing somebody to the brutal punishment of... being let go without any repercussions

I'm reluctant to point this out, because I'm 100% completely convince it was entirely by accident and it shows a level of subtilty and critical thinking I don't think Beth is capable of. Lucy and her Dad are the same character, because of their warped belief of what they know is right and wrong. Her Dad destroyed a "community" in the pursuit of a loved one, ulimately damning said one love in pursuit of petty revenge. Lucy more or less, does the same thing.
