I've decided to be merciful, anybody with noodlebrain psi defense gets transferred to be the ablative guard corp of a satellite manufacturing base, as opposed to the usual field execution. There awaits a gauss rifle, 2 magazines, and all the hi-ex they can eat as they pray they're never needed

I reinstalled fnv for a leisurely playthrough where I stream to my ma 'cause we watched the fallout show together and she was interested in seeing the games after I kept doing leopointing.jpg at all the references in the show. and I figured I should do viva new vegas because I remember frequent bugs, stuttering, the occasional crash, etc, as is the classic new vegas experience, and surely "oh woops the game broke again haha one sec" is the best way to kill enjoyment of such. so I went over there, and the installation it promises is not hard, but it's still like five loving pages with at least two dozen steps per page which took me a couple hours

at least I finished the process and it's been perfectly stable so far, just finished up in nipton, knock on wood

Nope I'm just gonna teach her how to play and offer to help when she gets annoyed with the "shooting parts" which has been the major barrier keeping from playing anything of this sort before. Tbh I think VATS is probably the best combat system you could pick for someone that doesn't like the stress of combat since you can pause and call your shots.

Hell I like VATS cause it looks cool and bullet time is fun. I wish it was really good instead of janky but i find the concept interesting. You can sort of play it RPG-style like fallout 1/2 in first person.

e: A first person remake of fallout 2 would own actually, drat. Never happening

I don't think it's a coincidence that all the VATS perks require a lot of intelligence
gives you a lot of skill points so you can enjoy passing skill checks and combat is just a thing you click through.

you know how the opening cutscene in fallout 1 includes a recording of a couple american soldiers executing a helpless canadian prisoner and then laughing and waving at the camera? a couple weeks ago bethesda’s lead writer tweeted “hey, little-known connection between fallout 1 and fallout 4: the male protagonist in 4 is the guy watching his fellow soldier execute a guy in that cutscene! neat, huh?” before backtracking when he realized that he had just made the guy a war criminal. so the gag is that fallout 4’s nate really loving hates canadians

it was also explicitly a joke but first world Gamers(tm) who get their politics from playing Fallout New Vegas literally couldn't understand it because Todd Howard Holodomored New Vegas.

You also forget that the VNV installation is for people who want to use it as a stable jumping off point for modding. Its a bit verbose but very useful if you want to tinker with things.

todd explicitly told him to tweet it because he (todd) loves war crimes and doing war crimes and that the guy subsequently said it wasn’t canon is just another example of how todd is a coward not willing to stand up for the things he loves (war crimes and doing war crimes)

he put the nerd emoji at the end of the tweet
https://twitter.com/Dezinuh/status/1779178683841790068
then this is what he tweeted afterward
🧵(1/3) Oof. I wanted to share what I thought was a cool Fallout tidbit without realizing how divisive it might be. I should have. I get dumb when I get excited… and I get excited a lot. 😬 Not every bit of Fallout info I share is automatically canon. Nate is NOT a war criminal!
(2/3) When you're world and character building, you have a LOT of head canon. You're always sorting ideas. Early on, we talked about that being Nate, in that video. He had been through hell as a soldier. Every day was another unknown horror. This was one of them.
(3/3) So, internally, it was a cool nod to OG Fallout and a way to fictionally frame the character. It wasn't shared with the player because it was never meant to be who YOU think Nate is. For a player, Nate's soldier past is whatever you think it is. THAT is canon.

people crying that the fallout 4 protag was "turned" into a war criminal is pretty loving lol when fallout 3 is basically the least subtle of the fallout games about US troops being drugged up war criminals

They didn't have that gun to stick to during FO4's development because that wasn't something the writing team actually thought of at the time. It was something that dumbass brought up now because he has terminal nerd-brain and he wanted to capitalize on his IP being in the zeitgeist.
