silentsnack posted:yeah fallout2 came out several years before the whole ["your choices *matter*"] idiom came about and writers started showing the downstream consequences of player decisions reflected in-game. F2 the most resolution you get for quests is a different line of dialogue like "well I guess my turd farm is safe from raiders for now" and then you leave and never have any reason to return to that area afterward, so why bother updating NPCs or whatnot people who jerk off over fallout 1 and 2 haven't played the games my guy. They play New Vegas, hear its like the old fallout games and then project that backwards into the interplay fallout games. Todd howard's biggest crime was resurrecting that franchise so now you get to be inundated with annoying people who got strongarmed into voting for joe think they are revolutionaries for choosing the Yes Man ending.

Anime Schoolgirl posted:i know they didn't do it for engine reasons and lovely console per-core performance but i'd have enjoyed and been much more sold on the plot of fallout 4 a lot more if in the minuteman (and maybe brotherhood) playthroughs you went into open war with institute forces and synths after settlements you don't control (or left alone for long enough) eventually got slaughtered by the institute as they're implied to have been doing the entire time you nuke the institute. Hard to do an open war afterwards if you blow up their base. The game's biggest crime was not allowing us to invade nuka world as a postgame option. Just rebuilding america with strontium laced coca cola.

its anticapitalist in the epic gen-x "I don't even care way" which means not at all. Fallout 2 also has the 90s equivalent of memespeak and incessant pop culture references. New Vegas' big opposing factions are a somewhat corrupt miniature USA and a bunch of literal football rapists and slavers. I really blame hbomberguy's video essay on fallout 3 for this current outbreak though. Bethesda of all people actually put some actual thought into their game. The epic capitalist deathbot liberty prime that spouts red scare slogans? You use it to laser the remnants of the US government and give people access to a critical resource for free. The NCR equivalent in fallout 4 requires a literal deus ex machina in the form of the player to bring them back to life. The most morally upright main faction in the game has you be the equivalent of a partisan in a blasted hellscape. The bad guys have mechanical incentives that tempt the player to join them in the game for added benefit.

Whirling posted:I do think that Fallout: New Vegas definitely is the better RPG of the 3D Fallouts, but yeah, it is weird how people have turned it into this rose emoji banner when there's no actual anti-capitalism in it either. Its fine to like things that aren't purely socialist, so I don't know why people need to do mental jujitsu to say that going down the Yes Man route means the Courier will implement socialism in the Mojave, rather than things being run by the gleefully capitalist ex-tribals that House brought in to run the casinos. BGS made that explicit lol and got a lot of butthurt from trve fallout fans for the same reason. You side with the institute and it requires you to kill both the brotherhood and the railroad. Then their post game content is you doing the same poo poo while gamers cried about bethesda not giving agency to the players. No, you chose to side with the reclusive and imperialist faction and now have to enforce their code.

Halser posted:It makes sense that a world where communism isn't an option just continuously destroys itself while just changing the names of the factions doing the destroying. There is a chinese ghoul soldier in Fallout 4. You can ree at him for being an evil red or help him out because its the nice thing to do. The entire minutemen plotline is doing mutual aid to other people who pay it forward, even mechanically. The last remnant of prewar US institutions explicitly does colonialism and slavery to maintain their higher standards of living. None of this poo poo matters because its a goofy videogame where you can maximize your luck so you can punch people in their head and coca cola bottlecaps fly out of their rectums.

Epic High Five posted:The correct approach is to have communication be a part of it but you can only select from a list of possible messages. This could be on a wheel in combat, and for anything outside of combat like outfit recruitment or organizing it can be a more expansive Souls-like system. A well designed multiplayer game shouldn't have boxes for text input after the password. the souls system of everything being But Hole? lmao what the hell.

turn off the TV posted:morrowind has better combat than oblivion or skyrim. none of them are fun action games but morrowind lets you juice your stats into the thousands and then cast a fireball so large it wipes out every loaded NPC and/or crashes the game modded skyrim is straight up an excellent action game and even the base vanilla game game was better than witcher 3.

starfield is pretty good so far. The first dungeon was pretty neat and if you explore the rest of the area you have a pretty cool conclusion and free stuff. Liking the character creator a lot too.

it generates skyrim sized maps with the somewhat sparse POIs you can visit. There's plenty of sidequests in the main cities and the game now has a working DLSS mode thanks to modders. Oh you can acquire it for free too. There were certain design decisions that were weird but hopefully they get fixed. People are gonna be playing this for years.

look heres whats going to happen. Everyone will agree that the game sucks and is bad and bethesda should use UE5. A large number of people will continue to play it and the consensus will be that modders are literally saving bethesda. Meanwhile the average modder will make mods like "space realism mod, make barrett white mod etc." Someone will pop up and say that outer worlds was better and so on and so forth.crepeface posted:i feel like im being gaslit about a bethesda game

Cuttlefush posted:im guessing its more like the people who make the list of things to implement probably don't know it's an autoimmune thing and think it's just like freckles or something and anyone who does know knows better than to bring that up to the people who make the list yes. the character creator is very, very very detailed and the game characters are generated the same way you make your own characters.

I’ve already run into quests to join the Ulster Special Constabulary and the Ulster Defence Regiment as Security Auxiliary or Vanguard, nearly as soon as I landed and through a main story quest. they also have their own mujahideen who are going feral.
