Neurolimal posted:E: if you want to take FO outside Americana, the obvious choice is to cross the iron curtain and have one based around Russia and their retrofuturism. Although there's still plenty of unique areas you can take FO in America. I think the UK is probably the only other nation with a similar sort of Cold War kitsch. Like imagine an apocalyptic, 1984-esque London where survivors must follow the increasingly insane and contradictory rules issued by a Civil Defence parody, all watched over by an unseen, undying mutant queen.

Weirdly enough, I also started doing an unarmed playthrough of 2 recently. Except I think I hosed up because I picked Bruiser as a trait.

Its pretty hard to kill Metzger's gang that early on. It's pretty satisfying when you finally do, though. Also, if you really need caps you could just become a slaver yourself (don't do this).

There's a lot of dudes with guns from what I recall. At that point all you've really fought are Geckos. Also they have armor while you might not have anything yet.

I'd be okay with revisiting San Francisco. Just up the kung fu stuff times a thousand and make it like a post apocalyptic Shaw Brothers film. There's a market for flying guillotine weapons in video games that Bethesda could totally tap.

I've posted about it before, but I'd love to see a Waterworld-esque, pirate themed game set in the half sunken remains of Honolulu. You could bring back the Kings as they follow their prophet's pilgrimage to Hawaii.

Yea, a prototypical Fallout quest has you deciding between one of several factions controlling a town, and in Fallout 2 there are several points where you can choose which of the emerging regional powers absorbs the smaller communities. Depending on the ending you get you are basically directly responsible for the NCR annexing northern California.

Not everything Avellone has done has been a homerun but he's a competent writer and understands how to construct a story, which is more than you can say about 90% of the writers in the industry.

You can kill the slavers immediately and it'll be fine. No one else goes hostile, its pretty easy, the Rangers will still give you a medal, etc.

Why shouldn't they live in cities? The ruins don't decay after hundreds of years and the cities are mostly intact - Boston has random city blocks that have crumbled but it's skyline and major neighborhoods are fine. In fact, since the bomb hit in the far southwest outside of the city, Boston should be functionally one community, like New Vegas.

I'm kinda disappointed that there weren't dedicated buttons in dialogue that allowed you to either accuse every character of being a synth or to claim that you yourself are a synth.

I don't really know what you're talking about. I found Shaun, he was behind glass in that Institute place. When that creep who took him came barreling in I immediately caved his skull in. That's when I saw that Shaun was motionless and hunched over - he had shut off. He had already been replaced by a Synth! It was a great twist, one communicated entirely through visuals and not dialogue.

Tenzarin posted:How does the most technological place on the nuked earth have the only person in the fallout universe dying of cancer. There's people that have turned into literal zombies. They can remove peoples brains and put them into robots but one person gets cancer. They had FEV he could have been dipped. Ironically he was a firm believer in homeopathic medicine. I guess all the horrors of super science made him distrustful of medicine.

Why does he still remember someone he had a 2 minute conversation with 200 years ago? I don't remember people I talked to last week. What a goon, I'm going to put him in a pillory and have one of those automatic paint guns shoot him in the butt, forever.

Everyone you meet at the Institute is actually a Synth and the whole operation is ran by the Think Tank, except they've long forgotten what the point was.

The bombs killed all the moms and without moms around, no one was there to make people clean their rooms. Now, 200 years later, the ultimate mom has been brought from the past and she's going to make them pay, she's going to make them all pay.

TBF, I'm an oldschool Fallout fan who does think Bethesda basically ruined all the parts of the series that made me love it anyways. But whatever, New Vegas was the perfect conclusion to old Fallout, and the Beth games are fun enough in their own right to justify me, uh, playing them long after they come out when I get them on discount. Complaining about them is like complaining about New Simpsons - you're probably not wrong but just change the channel if it bothers you.

No Mods No Masters posted:The subsequent bethesda fallouts are so bad that they make fallout 3 look better in hindsight. It's still bad, but at least it was something like a good faith effort It was definitely fun revisiting the world from 1 and 2, experiencing it from a new perspective. The plot was bad and it was barely an rpg but it was new and had charm.
