mango sentinel posted:It took a little over an hour to cross New Vegas and I don't think sprinting makes you run over 6 times faster than walking. Well, we'll see. I'm not as hyped as some people I know for the game, but I'll probably pick it up at some point.

bloodychill posted:If wildlife doesn't randomly get caught on things or run in odd places I will be disappointed. My favorite Skyrim thing that happened to me was when I was trying to hunt an elk an hour in and the game was still in broken launch state. I shot the elk once with an arrow, he went running up a hill and I lost and subsequently forgot him. 30 minutes later I was sitting at a hut in the woods near there exploring the interface and looking around and an elk corpse came flying down the mountain at 100 kph, hurled past me, and I chased him and found his body in a creek and he had my arrow in him still. No idea what happened to the poor guy. It was probably just some other hunter's kill. Unless you recognized the arrow or something.

My biggest problem so far, from the few hours I've gotten with it, is that everything feels so disconnected and ultimately boring to take part in. Maybe it'll pick up later, but right now it is looking like that early review was right.

But since I sucked at stealth, it was only really used to take out enemies way up on buildings and stuff. Edit: ^^^I'm honestly surprised they didn't just outright steal Obsidian's map marker system for buddies.

So that ending happened I guess. It was probably the worst part of the game, even if the lead up to it was pretty good. Did they just run out of time in making these or did they feel it was good enough considering the endings they've had in other games?

Discendo Vox posted:Two of the vaults in this game are morally worse than anything we've seen in previous games, which is saying something. We're going way past science or philosophical allegories (Vault 11 references The Lottery and the Milgram experiments) to I-have-no-mouth-and-I-must-scream levels of pure torture here. Vault 11's "research" at least had something to say. Vault 95 is the set of a snuff flick. Vault 95 is also very nearly pointless. So you've got a bunch of addicts that after five years off the junk are presented with chems. . What did you think was going to happen? It's like studying the effects of high grade napalm on people, you have plenty of case studies of that happening before the war.

Speaking of weird bugs and quests, is nothing at all really supposed to be what happens if you don't pay back that mobster in the hotel in Goodneighbor if you get caught stealing his chem stash? I've got a misc quest to go pay him back, but I've had that for weeks and weeks of inagame time.

LuiCypher posted:The Vaults were just social experiments to gently caress with people. The people that they really wanted to survive, the remnants of the U.S. Government that became the Enclave, did not have intentionally defective vaults. The point of Vault 13's water chip breaking (and Vault 13 not having enough spares) was to see if the Overseer would violate his orders from Vault-Tec or let the Vault die. Actually as far as I recall Vault 13 was supposed to stay closed until the Enclave came around to grab the survivors so they'd have a good supply of generally untainted genetic material to work with. But the chip breaking is considered a happy accident because that means they have a set of tainted material in Arroyo to work with and compare to the guys who stayed in Vault 13. Edit: vvv Yeah, I know. Just saying what the President of the Enclave tells you at the end of Fallout 2 if you ask him why they busted open your grandfather's vault. evilmiera fucked around with this message at 23:33 on Nov 23, 2015 |

Dr. Clockwork posted:Bethesda seems too hung up on Fallout enemy tradition to realize that rad scorpions in Boston are dumb as hell. They could have used mutated spiders or ants and it would have made sense. They're iconic enemies and hence they wouldn't dare leaving them out. Unlike say, the Geckos or Centaurs or proper Nightkin. But honestly, way too much of Bethesdas fallout games have enemies that are just there because they're expected to be. They're obviously capable of making new factions or enemies, what with the Institute and all, but seem afraid to take that big step of making something entirely unique. Besides the things they've done with gameplay this time around, that is.

I think the game kind of seems to break at levels above 75. That or I've just done something with my many, many settlements that is breaking the game in general. Tons of weird bugs are appearing all over the place (and no, I never place tv sets or jukeboxes) All my settlers randomly get unassigned from my various stations, they start losing settlers from places like Sanctuary Hills, and stop producing goods. Then there's stuff like quest markers not appearing properly (though that's just for Mcready or however he's spelled's quest), ammo for various guns never appearing in drops (though that may be intended), and finding 3-4 of the same weapon on the same enemies.

Besesoth posted:If you didn't put it in the actual Workbench, one of your settlers might have wandered off with it. I did find it on one of my companions, could've sworn I hadn't put it in their inventory, just the workbench one, but I must've been mistaken. The patch hasn't fixed the bug loving up my lighting and making that weird blurry effect happen, nor any of my other bugs so far. Still have a quest I can't finish because the questgiver is dead, Marowski still doesn't give a poo poo I haven't paid him back his money. But it might've fixed a teensy bit of settlement issues, maybe? At least all my settlements aren't stuck at 80 percent satisfaction anymore. Edit: Speaking of 80, just hit that level. Hello full SPECIAL stats!

rabidsquid posted:I mean, you can just back out of the terminal. There are so many perks and bonuses that are just pointless after a while. Stuff like not gaining rads from eating food or drinking water doesn't matter since you're flooded with tons of RadAway and RadX through most of the game and you don't really suffer any real problems as far as I can tell beyond lower max HP anyway. Damage resistance is also mostly useless since if you ever run into enemies that deal tons of damage you can just hop over to your power armor. Healing from sunlight might seem nice, but I've got something like 80+ stimpacks lying around, why would I bother? Luck perks, beyond the regular sneaking, crafting and damage perks, seem to be the only ones with some real proper use (unless you've decided to make settlements).

muscles like this? posted:The radiation stuff might not seem like much, until you run into a posse of Children of Atom all armed with Gamma Guns that hit for 50 rads each. I already did.

Yeah, other than maintaining a nice "look" for your settlement, never build guard posts or whatever. The only reason not to build turrets is running out of gears or oil and even then only as a temporary fix.

Paul Zuvella posted:The only thing that surprises me about settlements is that there are people who actually waste time on them. I actively get mad when quests make me interact with the base building mechanics because they are hot loving garbage. You eventually run out of stuff to actually do in the main map of the game, beyond exploring mostly empty setpieces. Settlements give you something to do and a steady stream of experience for all the crafting with useless materials you find lying around, while waiting for mobs to respawn.
