there's a bit in the behind the scenes videos for the game where felicia talks about voice acting for veronica and says that she found the job really easy because she and veronica have so much in common

>>378181137
Her personality doesn't fit at ALL with New Vegas' tone, she's voiced by a widely hated evil bitch, she represents the Brotherhood of Steel in the game with the most pathetic Brotherhood of Steel chapter, her outfit is ugly, she's supposed to be BoS but uses a fucking POWER FIST, her motivation is frankly nonexistent, her endings are as shitty as her motivation, and compared to any other companions in New Vegas she's just worthless.

To her credit, though, she's worse than most of the other New Vegas companions but far FAR better than most of the companions from Fallout 3.

>>378181828
That would require a non-shit engine and competent developers. I never made it to the Institute but Diamond City was laughably pathetic.

i hate how much the game validates her perspective, pretty much every other character in the game is flawed and has a good chance of being wrong except veronica who gets you the "good ending" for the brotherhood of steel

out of all these experienced, intelligent and prescient characters in one game and the one who is flat out 100% correct is felicia day, fuck off

>>378182795
I can't really think of a bad Fo3 companion other than maybe Star Paladin Cross. The rest are good, but don't have much backstory at all to delve into. All you know is Fawkes was an inhabitant of vault 87, Charons events somehow led him into the service of Azrukhal, Clover somehow ended up a slave of Mr. Eulogy and Butch never tells you exactly how he made it to Rivet City.

>>378181828
Fallout 4's budget went more towards having one character call you by name once. Seriously, imagine how much of the budget was wated paying one voice actor to record himself addressing the main character by 1000 different names for one 5 second scene.

>>378183917
>who gets you the "good ending" for the brotherhood of steel
What? You can kill Veronica the moment you see her at the 188 and still get any BoS ending you want

>>378181843
She's a whore, I never asked her to use my medical supplies for me

>>378184645
None of the FO3 companions are really terrible because they barely say anything anyway, they just follow you around and might talk every now and then
I just remember Butch saying "whoa did you hear that?" for no reason because he's a bitch and I thought it was funny and Clover yelling "CAN'T STAND THE SIGHT OF YOUR OWN BLOOD?"because it's what every fucking raider says anyway
I don't remember a single thing about everyone else aside from Fawkes sayng "nah it's your destiny dipshit now go die in the purifier" at the end

Are the Bozar, Light Machine Gun and/or Automatic Rifle any fun? I was thinking of playing a character that uses Grunt weapons and having one of those be my main endgame weapon (JSU adds the Bozar and Automatic Rifle to the Grunt list and lowered the Automatic Rifles spread). I have a recollection that fully automatic weapons are crappy in NV though.

once you need to make this thread every day for weeks you should take yourself to /vg/

>>378187507
the assault carbine is decent because 5mm rounds take a big fat shit on armored enemies
I don't think it's ever mentioned in the game even after the patch that implemented that, but 5mm rounds have a -10 DT effect

a while back I actually wanted to use the LMG as my main weapon but when I realized the assault carbine completely outperformed it (even the ammo is easier to find) I just gave up on it
it's still probably fine to use but unless you use AP ammo you might have a hard time with armored enemies

What?

>>378189896
They gave them really shitty deadlines to get things done i'm guessing

>>378189896
They were given 13 fucking months to make a game. Half that time was spent fixing the dogshit gamebryo engine and mechanics. Once they finished they only had 6 months left to mske the game, and considering all the cut content and having to be downgraded for fucking consoles it would have been a masterpiece if it was given real game development time.

>>378189896
Bethesda set the deadline for development to a little over a year after it had already begun, as well as jewing Obsidian out of a bonus.

I'm hoping for another Black Isle/Obsidian Fallout, 'cause I sure as shit won't buy another Fallout written by that guido tool Emil, but it seems unlikely since the studio's moving on to other projects like Pillars of Eternity.

Word. Who do you think could pull it off?

I've heard CD Projekt Red suggested, and from what I've played of the Witcher 3 I could see them managing it.

>>378190638
Virtually anything that doesn't increase damage or DR or increase ammo/cash spawn rates, or allow for easier use of ingame equipment (Jury Rigging)
If it's "10% chance to do 5% more damage with silenced pistols at night when it's raining" or some shitty perk like that then it's fucking useless

Witcher 3 was complete trash story, gameplay and lore wise. It's the most casual RPG ever created, next to no depth, I don't even think stats exist in it. They'd turn everything into a cutscene or waifutrash, anyone but them

So whats up with the fact that Bethesda's fallout games tend to have okay side quests but absolutely trash main quest stories?
I remember liking some of the side quests in 3 and 4 quite a bit, but whenever the main story came up or a character ended up being unkillable it just makes me want to play 1,2 or NV.

The ARCHIMEDES II laser does 150 damage

Shooting someone directly in the face with a Mini Nuke 400. And that's before it explodes. The blunt force trauma of getting a giant metal handegg to the balls is more damaging than an orbital weapons platform

>>378194546
Ah, that's fair.
Definitely my least favorite part of lower int builds in 3. Never enough points for everything I want and I'm not autistic enough to hunt down all the skill books.

>>378194421
I thought she only showed up when your almost dead

>>378194637
I did do that. But the stupid game keeps glitching out, where the beams for the finder will start moving, get to the position, and then no explosion. And then I lose the ammo because the game thinks it worked, taking away the ammo for the gun, but still display the triangulating lasers every few seconds. Saving, exiting and restarting the game "fixes" it - in the sense that I can get the ammo back. But as soon as I try to fire it glitches right the fuck out again.
I've literally never had that gun not glitch out.

Is Mysterious Stranger ever worth taking?

>>378194372

Why does everybody say this when they were one point short of the required metacritic score? Review scores are bullshit for a lot of reasons but it's tinfoil-hat tier to think that Bethesda can expressly dictate the precise value of every review score; if they could then Fallout 4 would have gotten tens across the board.

They definitely would have bumped it into the 90s instead of 84. That's hardly suspicious when Oblivion, Skyrim and FO3 all have scores in that range. Unless you think Bethesda deliberately sabotaged their flagship title of the year to deflect attention from their total control over every metacritic reviewer away from the skeptical eyes of anime imageboard users, the reasonable assumption is that the game simply just happened to score one point below the bonus line.

I only found this out about a three weeks ago, and cringed physically. I can't tell if that's a sly way of them agreeing with Veronica as being total shit for the randumb factor, or as a cheap joke for the people who unironically like her..

Probably both..

>>378196867
but the point is they would have gotten at least one point higher overall if the bugs hadn't been as atrocious as they were at release, which was almost entirely on Bethesda. And those were the grounds on which the bonus was withheld. You have to admit that that is fucked up.

I wish certain chems had a short effect like that. not completely stopped, but slowed down. Would make for fun times

The funny thing is after all the bitching about FO3's puke green tint, obsidian managed to put in something worse, diarrhea orange tint.

At least it doesn't look like projectile diarrhea.

It does. Have you looked at an fo3 wasteland screenshot recently?

>>378198817
That was my main playthrough. House's offer really wasn't much to convince me to stay with him, and everyone in the mojave is an unsympathetic dick so I just took cass and pretended to exit out of the outpost on the southwestern corner of the map.

are stealth based characters fun? thought a guy who uses silenced pistols and submachine guns might be cool, i've never really used stealth boys or the stealth suit before.

Use mods to make the combat more dangerouse and intense. Something like the realistic headshots mod, makes you die quickyl against groups if you go full retard gunz blazing.

its the best way to play fallout imo. feels like your breaking the game. do high luck and your crits will be massive.

>>378197238
You're making a lot of assumptions, and I think you're dwelling on this unhealthily. What does it matter if Obsidian didn't get their bonus? Am I supposed to imagine an alternative future where they had slightly more money to not develop more Fallout games?

And if you're trying to suggest that Bethesda deliberately sabotaged their QA to drive down the game's metacritic score, then you've never played a Bethesda game before because NV's bugginess is pretty par for the course. And frankly it's par for Obsidian's course as well, speaking as someone who played both Kotor 2 and Alpha Protocol at release.

>>378199396
It clearly doesn't.

i have a question about companions

are you meant to be able to have more than one active at a time? in my first playthrough of NV i got both ED and boone to follow me around and assumed this was natural

>>378198795

I totally forgot about implant GRX

I don't use chems much I didn't realize with certain perks you could up that effect to 16 seconds. That's pretty fucking neat.

I haven't even used turbo I think, I just thought it made you move faster.

Sorry, but the OP is clearly more of a diarrhea orange, like the whole damn mojave.

>>378199521
Is the grx implant the one that gives you slowmo once a day?

>>378199481
I don't think we should fucking burn down Beth's headquarters, I just think Bethesda is a shitty company with shitty business practices, mediocre game designers, and seemingly very few intelligent people among the higher-ups. My point is that Obsidian deserved better than what they got for making such a good game when, this time at least, the bugginess wasn't directly their fault. Is that so contentious?

How is the bugginess not directly their fault? They caused those bugs. Yeah, bethesda was shit at catching them and fixing them, but the bugs were undeniably theirs.

To me, it's like S.T.A.L.K.E.R threads. Those are also good, comfy threads. With some similar qualities. I think the type of genre of game just attracts certain people.

Most gripes come from preferences, and run of the mill shit posting.

Yes, one of deans stashes has a caravan shotgun.

Later on in the casino you also find a hunting shotgun

Thankfully you also find shells around too.

nice digits. But they were using Bethesda's spaghetti engine which they had no experience with. And also
>QA's job description is to fix bugs
>don't fix bugs
>this is Obsidian's fault
It should go without saying I don't mean the literal bugs themselves, I mean the fact that they were present in the final release. And Bethesda could have at any time chosen to postpone the release and fix bugs or integrate cut content, Obsidian had no hand in any of that.

>>378200245
>But they were using Bethesda's spaghetti engine which they had no experience with.
It's the terms they agreed to, they'd never have gotten anything done if they had to make their own engine or even if they couldn't reuse the majority of their assets.
>>QA's job description is to fix bugs
QA's job is to catch bugs. Obsidian is the one who created those bugs. So, even if we agree Bethesda is shit at QA, you can't say the bugginess isn't directly their fault.

>>378200245
Why would it be Bethesda's job to integrate cut content. Obsidian had a deadline, they weren't mislead about that in any way, cut content is their fault for overreaching with the design document.

>>378200000

That's not much of a good detail though.
Also the assassin squads in the game are retarded. I remember being neutral with the legion, I accepted an NCR quest to get some box out in the field. It was a legion trap, so I had to defend myself, which made me vilified.
Literally set upon by Caesar's teleporting psychic assassins before I could even make it back to the NCR camp.

I don't see the fun in playing any build at all if it takes six headshots to kill a raider. Increased global damage is one of the essential mods for the bethesda fallouts.

>>378203767
makes it far more fun. actually having to plan engagements and bring along the correct weapons for them is great, not to mention if you have combat enhancer it feels like a real firefights since the enemies wont just line up and charge into your hail of bullets holding 10mm pistols at their hip spraying the whole time

You just want an excuse for easy mode, faggot.

And don't give me that "b-b-but it makes them one shot you too" horseshit. You're clearly using auto and quicksaves to reduce the tedium of your "so intense" gunfights that last 10 seconds from boring the shit out of you.

Hey guys, what's going on in this thread?

>>378199756
It's a 5 times for the first tier, then ten times with the second tier. it's non-addictive, and the second tier increases the time by a second or two iirc. With all associated chem perks including logan loophole you get slowmo for 16 seconds ten times a day that refreshs after 24 hours

Feeling the itch for FNV but don't want to play something I've already played a million times. Are there any games with the same caliber of writing/worldbuilding/roleplaying potential that have come out in the past few years?

>>378204719
