The majority of the Vault still blamed you for your dad's escape, so you had to respect their wishes and leave. Or just kill them and take the Vault for yourself- Either way is fine.

Sure, some of the individual questlines were actually pretty good, and that's one of them.

The main story is just fucking horrible though. I don't get it.

They wanted it to reference the fact you're not allowed back into the vault in Fallout 1, but didn't have the justification to have it happen outside "You have to go now because I said so."

>>379334127
Just like real women. Such realistic writing! Todd really is a genius.

Let's not forget you leave behind 4-5 dead bodies of security officers and possibly the overseer. Even if they attacked you for no reason the regular people won't see it that way.

>>379335872
This.

The writing in the side quests is actually pretty decent, but the main quest is a trainwreck.

I wonder if that has something to do with the fact that:
A. The majority of the side quests are tongue-in-cheek
And
B: the drama in the more serious side quests is understated and less in your face.

I don't get why he was beloved at all. I don't get why he had to show up in F2, let alone 3.

It was a logical conclusion considering Herbert had been growing on him since FO2.

>>379337267
And to think if Bethasda hadn't fucked with him he would have probably showed up in New Vegas...

in the 80's/ early 90's a Rocket fuel production facility called "pepcon" located 10-ish miles out side of vegas blew up. The explosion was so massive and devastating that car alarms were set off and house windows were blown out on the outskirts of the vegas strip.

Yeah, that's completely fair. I enjoyed it a lot but mainly because I just fucked around exploring unmarked locations for hours, looking around ruins of the city (modded to open up all buildings) was a lot of fun. I couldn't do that in NV, but NV is much better for the main questline and most sidequests.

You don't know that. The game lets you fill in the blanks yourself. Not to mention that you can imply that you're guilty of things like breaking and entering if you pick certain dialogue options.

>>379338384
They wanted to see a nuke go off.

>>379338114
That has literally no bearing on the fact that it was a retooled hubologist quest with awful dialogue and just generally dumb as fuck.

I recall a screencap someone made of a poster who gave a brilliant explanation of things. Mainly how the first 2 Fallouts and New Vegas made it that your character wasn't the focal point of the story, but someone who reacted and helped guide the plot. They explained how FO3 basically threw that concept out the window and made it that the Lone Wanderer is basically the hero of the wastes, destined to bring clean water or death (or both) to the Capital Wasteland and everyone knows about them or their father.

>>379338226
the explosion was estimated to be about 1 kiloton of tnt, the area mayt as well have been hit by a small tactical nuke. The pepcon facility as awll as the neighboring marshmellow facility were completely leveled.

You're looking at it too hard, the entire quest was making fun of Bethesda and how they didn't even follow the lore.

>Every ghoul sounds the same
>Ghouls don't eat and are made from nukes

The entire quest just literally patches and fixes everything Bethesda broke and pees in their butt.

>>379338475

Doesn't make him any less of a stupid fuck who makes no sense. And he isn't even the only dipshit like that. The funny, funny human who thinks he's a ghoul is another shining example.
He didn't believe you, nor Jason when you tell him he's not a ghoul. But when you [speech] that Jason says hes no't a ghoul, suddenly he believes. Bravo.

You should build up to that. Go through the main quest, let your anger at the shitty writing build and then take it out on everybody in the Wasteland

>>379338791
This.

Don't forget the fact that the dungeons in 3 were alot more complex. NV really dropped the ball when it came to dungeons.

>>379338928
something about the old guy having a scoped gun atop his ivory tower just sent the wrong message to me.

>>379339110
The point of that pic is the NV friendly charts also cherrypick. Both games have their share of dumb linear quests.

>>379338672
Pretty sure tenpenny was rushed to some degree. There's a fully modeled/ detailed world space called "GNR roof" which has a detonation box and some references to a nuclear explosion in roughly the area where Megaton would be.

>>379338695
Fallout 3 and NV sidequests were great. I think the main difference is that NV has a superb main quest.

>>379339231
Yeah, I think the main F3 quest is fun for what it is, but for an RPG it's lousy for how linear it is.

>>379339231
This is exactly right.

I'd even go as far to argue that NV has the only good main quest in the entire series.

>>379335872
I liked fallout 3 and couldn't even stand to finish fallout NV

>>379339072
Why would a cult admit they're wrong for brainwashing and using a human. Jason knew Chris his name was chris right? wasn't a ghoul. He's just a self absorbed dick who only cared about the end game of his mission.

>>379339182
I know but 3 has more and NV has less. It's still cherry picking with the intent to make 3 look good and NV look worse

>>379338593
reminds me of "the chosen one" you play in skyrim

>>379339359
Not always, there were plenty of enjoyable ones and funny ones. They just made it feel like there was always something to find in buildings, even if it was just an oddly placed skeleton. So exploring was fun. NV didn't have that and the mojave wasteland is kind of boring, so exploration was much less fun. Though the core game was much better.

>>379339504
People cherrypick on both sides. For example, new vegas fans love bringing up how it has more locations than F3, but in practice it's because they put location markers on fucking everything. F3 had tons of completely unmarked locations that had at least interesting things to see.

>>379339512
I found it funny how fallout 2 made fun of you for being a "chosen one" where literally no one gave a shit about you or who you are until you reach san fran, and at that point you can see in the dialogue that even the main character has stopped giving a fuck.

I really enjoyed 3, its dlc and mods were top tier
NV however had some real stinkers for dlc, despite the main game being better written than 3

The Nuka Cola Challenge is the only one I can think of.

Well part of the main thing in fallout 2 was your progression from being a tribal fuck. I wouldnt consider you becoming a scientist a plot hole as you would need to level up a bit to be as amazing as some of the scientists you meet ingame.

No it doesn't. It has more map markers, the map is smaller and more invisible-walled, and they put markers on places with completely non-descript shit like empty huts just so they could pad out location count. Bethesda had tons of places in their map that had no map markers at all, that were still interesting to poke around.

>>379339643

>that last picture

Its been a long time since i played F4 but werent all the weapon tiers fairly linear in what they did? And due to the lack of different types of ammunition you were basically forced to use whatever gun had the highest damage number for the bullet sponge enemies? Like the guns and gunplay were pretty simplistic.

>>379340117
That one can end two ways actually.

You either slaughter the vampires, or you negotiate a truce between them and Arefu. Doing the latter gives you an option to join the vampires by becoming one yourself.

But first you have to do a mission for the ghoul who is too stupid to realize that if the nightkin leave there won't be an issue about him finding all the ghoul bitches he wants.

Or kill him for being fucking stupid.

Yeah, a lot of the evil choices are just 'kill everyone' shit. Should be more stuff like KOTOR 2 or DA:O, where you can just ruthlessly jew everyone, manipulate people, and fuck people's waifus and let them know all about it

>>379342352
once you talk with the leader he'll say there was a shipping invoice somewhere in the facility, the one harland is guarding. If you go through the facility and sneak/ use stealthboys, you can find the person Harland is looking for. Once you report the results to harland, find the shipping invoice then report back to the night-kin leader.

I'll clarify, most of the ones I FOUND felt empty and generic. The plant one was the only one interesting for me, other than that I remember one that was just full of powder gangers (I think) and one that was full of fiends, so they were little more than bandit camps. Oh, and one that was flooded or something and if you did some thing or some other thing the people trapped inside died, but it was kind of weakly presented. I'll take your word for it though, I guess I just missed the interesting ones.

I never finished new vegas because twice the fucking game broke when I went to caesar's camp and I couldn't continue. I'll probably try to play again when I upgrade my computer. But I do remember F3 had a fair number of interesting vaults, even Gary's vault was damned spooky for how seemingly random it was.

>>379342627
The press A to ejaculate one

>>379342838
Alternatively you can watch some of the vault lore videos on youtube. I'd recommend them unless you really want to play for yourself. They're good because it's so easy to miss stuff, especially things like item/objects/corpse placement since there's usually a plot reason for them being there.

Don't get me wrong, internal consistency is very important and Betehsda often fails in that regard, but you can't just hope internal consistency replaces an entertaining worldspace to play in.

In a relative vacuum it's not bad, the main reason why people turned on it was because of the flaws that become apparent when you compare it to other similar games, such as Fallout 1/2/NV and some of the better Bioware/CDPR titles, most of which came after FO3.

The alternative is just let things slide. This is why the west is losing. You all have no back bone.

>>379338232

Tenpenny was one of the better sidequests in FO3 because of how there was no "good" ending to it- either you pick a side and slaughter the other or you go through a bunch of hoops to try to get them to both get along only for the ghouls to kill all of the humans a few days later. It kinda makes me want to give the game another playthough just to do that quest again so I can make the right choice and murder all the ghouls.

>>379345938
The alternative is to wait for a better chance, or find some other way to mitigate the damage that you can't stop from happening.

You can't win if you die without actually accomplishing anything.

>>379337732
it was easily the worst fallout game id played yet at that point but we hadnt had a fallout game since tactics and sometimes you do desperate things. still didnt buy it

>>379346027
The problem though is that the ghouls seem to do it for no reason despite your attempts to forge bonds between the tenants and them. It feels like something is missing in the attempt to make it all grey in the moral sense.

>>379343583
Well, I just found something to read.

They do it because their leader is a human hating scumbag who makes it very clear he hates everyone in the tower. This is what happens when you let in a large population of hateful, miserable strangers into your happy walled community.

Honestly, it's a perfectly foreseeable outcome, just not one you expect in a videogame due to the usual black and white morality.

>>379346297
Roy Phillips is just a violent asshole that hates humans and never wanted peace. You can tell just by talking to him. He used you to get in and slaughters everyone behind your back.

They really didn't. Maybe the normies lapped it up, but I vividly remember that Bethesda's forums were bombarded by Fallout fans as soon as information was released. Literally every post was a criticism.

In retrospect, it all made sense. They fucking saw it coming. I was naive and just wanted a Fallout game, so I'd often take to the forums and argue with them. I'd played 1 and 2 in my younger days, after all, and I pointed out that they had their flaws as well. Who cared if the Brotherhood of Steel were a splintered faction of good guys? Who cared if Supermutants were all mindless and evil?

Shit man, I even made a Gametrailers blog post about the merits of a "New Direction for Fallout." I criticized the previous games -- despite loving them -- just to prove that FO3 had the potential to be great.

I don't think I realized how fucking stupid I was until New Vegas was released.

>>379338695
this chart does not count for the fact that most of the side quests have things that alter the main quest in NV. just because it' linear doesn't mean it can't still have varying change

>>379348953
Its not really revisionist. Plenty of grognards always hated fallout 3 from the start, pretty much on the basis it wasn't a clunky isometric game filled with words; its quality wasn't even the issue, its that it was different. People seem to forget the type of people who actually played crpgs back in the day.

>>379345026
Wow I think I need to go back to fo3 after this interesting things

>>379338695
i know this is bait, but new vegas has something like triple the number of sidequests fo3 has. it has a ton of these simple, go here do that quests (which usually are still interesting, not due to the actual quest but more the content context of what youre doing), but also a shit ton of quests just as large and expansive as fallout 3's big side quests

>>379349763
I'm just saying, their presence on /v/ was relatively small. Threads were constant and largely positive. Excessive criticism was usually met with calls to go back to the codex.

This isn't to say there weren't people who rightly shat on the game, but there's no doubt it was generally well received on /v/ at release, and for years after.

Eastern Brotherhood was far more extremist and could afford to take heavy losses. This is a trait acknowledged by the leaders of the Brotherhood in NV. They literally tell you this.

To set an example of rules and consequences in the vault. So in future for the safekeeping of the vault people will never have such thoughts crossing their mind.

On the good side tunnel snakes MVP is now free roaming the wastes. Like it or not i wanna see more tunnel snakes and atom cats. Maybe the next fallout they'd be some annoying impprtant factions.

I always get this bullshit with companions I don't romance that want to have a "talk" after gaining max afffinity. Preston has done the same conversation 50 times even after I told him to keep it professional.

No, the game can only be played in 2D mode.

The guarda and important NPC's are dead, Roy's corpse is on the floor for some reason.
Everyone is running around screaming, but there are no feral ghouls.
Fucking Bethesda can't think outside the box.

He failed everyone in that one settlement that got raided by slavers, and his ghoul bff.

Technically you're delivering the chip to the Lucky 38

>>379361831
You now realize giving all those historical artifacts to Abraham Washington was pointless cause Maxson's BoS raids rivet city 10 years later stealing the fusion plant to power up the Prydwen making the place unlivable and probably taking all the documents and artifacts.

A task that the Lucky 38 contracted the Mojave Express to do. You were the courier named for the job, BY THE MOJAVE EXPRESS

>>379362194
>BoS raids rivet city 10 years later stealing the fusion plant
What the fuck did they?

>>379363002
There's a terminal entry on the prydwen talking about taking a fusion plant from "that old aircraft carrier wreckage". There's only one place the capital wasteland that fits that description. Apparently Maxson rules the whole territory like a tyrant king.

Meanwhile the Lone Wanderer is chilling on his spaceship

fucking based
>elder lyons raises maxon with his good guy values
>maxon says "fuck you you're not my real dad"
>maxon becomes elder and is the complete opposite of lyons
he's basically in his edgy teen rebel phase and surrounded by yes men who let him do whatever he wants. it's actually decent writing.

neck yourself

>>379364093
that quest is easily the worst part of the game. Power through.

>>379337732
I liked it, but then I become older and played fallout 1 and 2.

>>379364130
for what reason
>>379364201
thanks ill give it another go

>>379364250
bitch

>>379364000
Lyons died when Maxson was still a kid and Sarah shortly after. Then he brought the outcasts back into the fold and formed the modern asshole BoS with full backing of the western elders.

>>379364056
it's realistic, maxon came to power during his edgy rebellious phase and that phase never ended because the outcasts returned and they're all technology obsessed psychos and supported his behavior and ideas because they wanted him as elder forever and not another person like lyons.

>>379364394
how did he bring the outkasts back, did he say sorry to ms jackson?

>>379364318
Reported and blocked have a good day sweetie ;^)

>>379334127

and you guys still wonder why you're virgin ?

>>379345556
And the game still calls you a coward for making the best and most logical decision

>>379335835

asking for a friend

He brokered a peace treaty of some sort in person agreeing to focus on gathering technology again but also kept some core tenets of the Lyons regime like mutant extermination and more outsider recruits.
