Whoever said it had the look of a Funny or Die video absolutely nailed it. It looks like a 2010s internet video, simply in terms of visual design, "visible" budget and execution. Especially with the bad CGI power armor.

its literally a practical costume.

The main antagonist in fallout 1 is a comic book mad scientist that turns people into green monsters - to take over the world.

pulp doesn't have to be goofy. Its just not down to earth. Supermutants having to literally pull their lips back to speak is goofy. People huffing cowdung from inhalers is goofy. The canticle-for-liebowitz people trying to introduce technology safely to people that need it isn't goofy, its serious and taken seriously.

In the same way the protagonist lady failing her speech check can be goofy but her walking across the ruins of a once thriving civilization is somber.

The opening to Fallout from which everybody takes the "50s science wackiness" bullshit was in actuality like the most cynical and jaded thing ever, lol

It was the 1990s after all. The X-files managed to balance both ideas.

depends. If you are gonna be modding you might need the other DLC at some point. At this stage a lot of mods do require assets from basegame expansions.

The thing about whatever it is they did to New Vegas is that if Todd/Bethesda really did hate it, it wouldn't have come up at all.

they are basically star wars nerds who think they got a poli sci degree by repeatedly playing the game.

I also really like FO4, it's just a great Running Around Doin Thangz simulator. Like most Bethesda games the main plot is something you can (should) just completely ignore and just run around picking flowers and jumping off of high places and punching freaks and stuff

I like laffing at the MIT nerds who make synthetic chimps instead of using the tech to make the world better. Absolutely the type of thing I can see happening in a crisis.

You realize this man literally thinks the bar for his writing should be fourth-grade reading level?

You do realise what he posted was a joke right? "Hey our most popular protag? He was doing my lai to Frosted Flakes 2." Given that the intellectual powerhouse of the fanbase got fumbled by god drat arrows over the last couple of days, writing at a 4th grade level seems to be appropriate for them to understand whats happening.

things might have changed in the last few years, but last time i was modding fo4, i saw a lot of warnings against alternate start mods with fo4 specifically because of some scripting issues that were apparently innate to the game.

start me up redux fixes most of them.

Wouldn't it be better to just use the regular texture pack and then replace with modded textures if you wanted to?

Fallout 4: it should be possible to progress some of the way into the game without contacting Preston Garvey, right?

I'm trying out Survival, and I did not want to take my chances on the sequence with the Deathclaw until I had some levels under my belt. I found that I was able to access Sanctuary's workshop and build items, which should mean that as long as I can scrounge the parts, I can put up a settler beacon, start attracting people, and build-up Sanctuary without ever having lead Garvey back to it?

and then Red Rocket can similarly be unlocked and developed all by myself?

I'm not going to avoid Concord forever, just until I'm a bit more confident in my ability to survive.

you can play the entire game without contacting the minutemen or the brotherhood.

Tankbuster

depending on how you build your character and get the local leader perk, you can eventually daisy chain settlements and access resources of the entire settlement network in the place closest to you. One of the big upgrades is going from scrounging for adhesive to producing all the resources to make vegetable starch. But yeah, apart from the feeling of satisfaction you aren't getting much out of the settlement system mechanically without mods.

Oh, a tour.






To-do list is to put down some carpet, add some interesting decorations around the crafting stations, set up a power armor workstation and figure out what I can cut to make sure I can do all that with the resource budget. Then I'll probably come up with some other base I want to build and abandon this one.

its beautiful.
