Gonna buy game, enjoy the poo poo out of it, get lost trying to explore and do all the sidequests, then quit after putting like 50 hours in and not beating the game.

Just like I did with New Vegas.

I agree with everything except the part where you don't get to listen to Ron Perlman reflect on your choices.

"Ponies built nukes?" Not exactly, there is an invention called a "megaspell" that amplifies magical power to a devastating amount, and Equestrian megaspells are actually big chambers that unicorns walk into and channel their magic into to fire it, so its sort of not a nuke. The Zebra (yes the enemy of equestria in the war was the zebras) managed to make their own megaspells that enhanced alchemical weapons, thus creating balefire bombs. "They can't hold guns" a good point, but one that is easily refutable because it was thought of. Equestria (and probably the zebras) had made devices to overcome this, and the one i like most is the battlesaddle, which is essentially a gun rack that holds a weapon on each side and has a mechanism to fire with a sort of trigger near the mouth. "they break a leg, they're hosed" Come on, this is fallout, set the bone and inject stimpaks (or in this case, down some healing potions) "barely had lightbulbs" they had jukeboxes and fridges in the show, in fact i think their tech was like 1920 or farther, its just hard to believe that people who live in cottages would have tech that good. "build underground vaults, guns, and lasers?" Well the laser is easiest to explain so, you know how "magic can literally do anything" well if something can shoot lasers out of its face, its easy for it to make something to do the same. Lasers are powered by a gemstone that is enchanted with a spell, nothing more, its not that high tech, it's just magic. If I recall conventional firearms were first developed by griffons and then made their way to Equestria a little before the start of the war, you could argue that they wouldn't be able to develop as fast as they did in their 3 to 5 decades of war, but meh. The vaults though, while they would have the technology to build them (its practically just lights and a door outside of the magical elements like making purified water), I'm not sure how they built so many of them considering they may have only had a few years at best to predict that the world was going to end. "Magic can literally do everything" While yes or no, magic needs to be trained for years that a majority of unicorns don't have time for (even in the show, most unicorns don't know very much magic) and two thirds of the population doesn't have access to this luxury, so they invent. Plus if you trained someone for years just for them to die in their first battle, you've wasted a perfectly good soldier who shouldn't have been in the front of the battle. Ooh god this is long, but hopefully this sheds some light on how parts of it aren't bad and some of it is well thought out

Looks like our pal nightwisher has some lore to catch up on.

A thread about a game when we don't already have a thread about that game.

Making multiple threads about the game is unnecessary. If there's a problem in the other thread you should report it and let the mods step in. Otherwise we don't need multiple threads discussing the same thing.

As previously established, this is a chill thread for discussing the real Fallout 4, Fallout Equestria by the fan group known as The Overmare Studios, based on the fanfiction, Fallout Equestria. Please do not confused Fallout Equestria with Bethesda's Fallout 4.

There are no 'level requirements' AFAIK.

The perk chart that was posted shows what SPECIAL stat you need to get each of the perks; if you stick 10 points into luck from the beginning you can get any perk in the luck tree.

I think that the game will probably have good things about it but not do enough new things or have as much atmosphere as NV or even Skyrim but I will probably buy it while bored on a weekend night and enjoy it for 40 hours and generally feel the same level of "that was pretty ok" that I felt after playing Fallout 3. Thank you for reading this post.

I have been less than impressed with bethesda writing in the past so I'm going to wait and see on this one. Witcher 3's awesome quest writing kind of soiled me on the whole bethesda "we learned nothing but we know you'll buy it if we churn out another one" game dev style.
