The Master was the best because his entire plan was to just dip people in bug tubs of green goo. Pure pulp, no daddy issues or Hegel quotes necessary.

Maximus is the character who hits the un-failable backstops that let you progress in the main quest even when you keep loving everything up and failing every speech/skill check. He would definitely end up working for Yes Man or the Minutemen in those games.

thrawn527 posted:As for how Vault 32 was cleaned out, I'm going with Vault 31 having more Mr. Handy robots than we saw, and either Overseer deployed them offscreen to take care of it. I think they probably have a crew in 31 who wakes up and cleans out vault 32 periodically and goes back to sleep, since it seems like vault 32 is designed to "fail" regularly also re: Cooper and his daughter i'm guessing the daughter at the cowboy performance/birthday party is a synth

It's just waking up, cleaning up bodies and going back to sleep only to be woken up again, seemingly no time has passed and they clean up another set of bodies. They ask what year is it, and number just goes up. Sorry but what are we spoilering, here, again?

The black carapace is a subdermal implant in a space marine that is connected to the nervous system. Then the marine puts on a body suit and then the armor is applied on top of that. There are plugs that connect through the undersuit into the black carapace which the gives the marine full use of the power armour. There's other power armor variants like Sisters of Battle power armor or Inquisitors who use Artificier armor which are very strong but more like vehicles than nervous system uplinks.

It really depends. 40K is allergic to consistency. As it should be, since it's a future-medieval setting where nothing is standardized.

Immersion ruined. You'll pay for this, Todd Howard.

He's a junior executive, as long as the boss is happy and the investors are seeing a good roi he probably cut his own skull open. Also re spoiler usage, tviv rule of thumb is a week for full drop shows so don't feel obligated to use them if you don't want to.

I was wondering that too before the reveal of what was on level 12 and my head canon is that Vault 4's gimmick is that it's about 2% actual living space, and 98% long term storage. Just miles and miles of warehouse with enough caviar and nuka-cola to last for thousands of years.

Rappaport posted:Doesn't one of the Fallout 4 loading screen blurbs or whatever state that the Super Mutants consider themselves better suited for life in the wasteland than humans? I can sorta see their point. That was the intent of West-Tek's initial research into FEV: build a better soldier that can survive a radioactive wasteland in the event of nuclear war. The trouble was that the original strains of FEV used to make Super Mutants also had the side effect of causing severe brain damage, or very brief moments of Flowers for Algernon-style intelligence before falling off the deep end into stupidity. So most Super Mutants are big, green, and dumb. These are the ones you see around Boston, DC, and Appalachia. In California it's a bit different. When the man who became The Master fell into the goo pit, he mutated into something else entirely and became extremely intelligent, and he used this intelligence to work through the flaws in FEV and built a better mutant. One that was bigger, stronger and most importantly, smarter than (most) humans. These First Generation Mutants are pretty rare in the modern day wasteland and tend to stick to themselves. Then the Enclave showed up and enslaved people, putting them to work digging out the old base where the Master's FEV vats had been located. These people were also exposed to FEV but unlike the ones tweaked by the Master, they were made by accident and ended up being rather dumb. Certain 1st Gen Mutants refer to them as Dum-Dums.

Arc Hammer posted:That was the intent of West-Tek's initial research into FEV: build a better soldier that can survive a radioactive wasteland in the event of nuclear war. As depicted, the Master (Master! Master) is a symbiosis of multiple people, even though I guess Richard Grey is still the main persona. In the original games, we don't meet that many Super Mutants. There's Harry who is, well, a bit dim, the Lou Tenant who is quite articulate and smug at you, and then there's Marcus who is clearly intelligent and keeps making sick burns at Myron, baby, Myron. The entire time-line for the east coast doesn't really make a lick of sense, but you get to shoot at Super Mutants so who cares? But my general point was that the Super Mutants, stupid or not, thrive in the wasteland, whereas a major mechanic of Fallout 4 and whoo boy it's an awful one is trying to keep humans fed and supplied with water.

Vertibirds are a post war aircraft invented by the Enclave who needed an aircraft that could land vertical because their base was located on an oil rig, yet needed to have a greater range than a helicopter, thus the Vertibird was born. Beth, for no reason, retcon the Vertibird to be a pre-war aircraft. So now they’re also flying aircraft with 200 years worth of metal fatigue. Have fun with that.

Well, just like X-01 Power Armor is a postwar design (don't @ me with how it shows up in Fallout 4) I like to think that the Enclave Vertibird is an improvement on the goofy looking prewar birds the BOS has to settle for. https://twitter.com/Jonahlobe/status/1783829883539620247?t=2-vJWVzsKoXrOK39Dw91wQ&s=19

Tankbuster posted:him unravelling the mystery is him explicitly standing up to authority. Instead of a messy drama that would get him marked for death he goes and solves why the vault is structured the way it is. He started out rebellious, just in a different way. Lacks Enthusiasm. He curtails their usual avenues of discipline by just refusing to take part. "You see the problem. How do you punish someone who is equally disdainful of every job?" Wingnut Ninja posted:
I mean, his Int and Cha are obviously pretty low. The guy uses power armor to punch people for Christ's sake. He's the embodiment of "When you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail." He's not going to really think this poo poo through. When it comes to the cannibals on the bridge, that's where his Surface Dweller shows compared to Lucy. He knows there are people who eat other people out there. Lucy can't even conceive of that. Even with that knowledge though, he defers to Lucy as de facto group leader. He would have shot them first were it up to him.
