Ah, then it's Werhner that I can't side with.
He cares little for the child and, while he'll get the cure faster, the child should not have to suffer for being born better.
I also side with Ashur because slavery does get results, but there's a point where you have to stop. He understands this and can set his morality aside for the betterment of the human race. Despite this, I can't side with Caesar because, even though he talks with good intentions, he's lost his way in more savagery than the tribes he's conquered.

Well NV had Ricky mention Deathjaws first, so of course Bethesda is going to go out of their way to come up with their own "unique" name for them, because nothing from NV can ever be reused because Bethesda wants to pretend NV isn't better than any Fallout they've ever made.

I like to think he is saying that because if he said anything contrary to that, Bethesda and their fanboys will destroy him. He did spill the beans, and rather sheepishly, on Bethesda and their writing.

Their staff just checked the wiki and forums to see what happened lore wise because half of the team had no idea of the backstory. I bet money on it that is the reason why the Outcasts in F3 were a last minute, tacked on addition to the game, because someone discovered the Brotherhood are not good guys.

Either all that or Avellone actually likes Bethesda

I went about times as well, then saw them fall down dead after all the White Legs were eradicated by intense chem and VATS abuse.
At that point, I tried resurrecting the via the console, but they shortly died without cause soon after and I made it a personal mission to kill every White Leg I found.
Hell, I would have done it even if the main quest had involved peaceful negotiations.

Playing a Powder Ganger right now. They're a punk, but they've grown more of a heart as the playthrough has progressed. I might not want to stay and help some locals with their scavenger hunt, but I do realize that the White Legs are scum, even to a criminal like my courier. Daniel is pretty full of shit, but he's right that the Dead Horses and Sorrows have a certain innocence and it makes me want to protect them.

I think it's BS that helping them fight makes them into a tribe that doesn't get along with each other as well.

The History of the Desert Rangers by Ranger Simak

What comes after the end?

The story of the Desert Rangers begins at what many would have called the end of all human history - after the nuclear blasts changed the face of the world forever and left human civilization with scars that would never heal.

But humanity's resilience is its defining trait, and it should surprise no one that pockets of survivors survived the nuclear holocaust. I say pockets speculatively, and some would call me a fool for doing so, for though rumors persist of mutants being cured and turned into humans in Florida, these are obvious fairy tales, and in the century since the nuclear war we here in the Arizona wastes have heard no credible reports of others surviving outside our lonely stretch of desert land. It is therefore fair to assume we're the only ones left.

35KB, 399x521px

Who are we?

The Desert Rangers started as an Army Corps of Engineers battalion, who were deep in the Arizona deserts constructing roads and bridges on that fateful day when the bombs fell. Their isolation saved their lives, but could do nothing for their frightened, broken hearts. One can only imagine the horror they felt as they listened to reports of their home cities and states being obliterated one after the other on their radios.

The engineers did not know how or why the nuclear war happened, no more than we do today, but their supplies, military training, and knowledge of the region gave them advantages over their fellow survivors during the apocalypse and the chaotic years that would follow. They commandeered a nearby federal prison, being welcomed as saviors by the few remaining prison guards, and in a show of mercy that might have perhaps been better if tempered by wisdom, the Rangers freed the prisoners into the desert.

Why? Perhaps they felt that the apocalypse had already killed enough people, perhaps they simply didn't want to waste ammo it would have taken to execute them. In any case, the prisoners survived, which lead to a volatile mix of survivors all living together in the wasteland - isolated farming communities, scientists from secretive research facilities, citizens of small towns just looking to get by, but opposite them were not just the rapidly mutating monsters of the desert, but equally monstrous humans, cultists and cannibals. Many of these threats were from the original prison population, as well as formerly law-abiding citizens who saw the end of the world as an excuse to abandon all of civilization's constraints.

100KB, 250x250px

Faced with such villains, the army engineers could have hidden in the prison and lived only for their own survival, but they did not. Hearing the cries for help coming from distant radios, they invited many to join them behind their strong walls. They aided other, more established, towns, helping them build walls and protect their homes, training them in the arts of defense and war, and helping them develop into strong, stable communities.

Holding Back the Tide

Though the Desert Rangers never gained the numbers to patrol the wastes in their entirety, it is thanks to their efforts in the century that followed that many communities in the wasteland flourished. They helped protect the community of Highpool until it could rebuild the pre-war defenses that now make it the most well protected source of water in the wastes. The Rangers helped the Rail Nomads repair their trains and expand their rail lines, allowing them to establish a thriving trading and transportation network. They also helped the residents of the Agricultural Center go from a tiny farming community to a food research facility that has the potential to lead the wasteland into a greener, healthier future.

But despite these various successes, there was always a sense that the rangers were doing little more than holding back the tide, and that, were they to relax for but a moment, the raiders and madmen who lived on the fringes of Ranger territory would flood in and drown the young civilization before it had time to grow and stand on its own two feet.

And then, almost a full century after the end of the war, in 2087, a new threat rose that threatened this tenuous equilibrium more than any danger the Desert Rangers had faced before.

Hell Razor, Angela Deth, Thrasher and Snake Vargas. Four Rangers - now legend - were sent out on a fairly standard assignment, patrolling and aiding the communities that the Desert Rangers had sworn to protect. They started in Highpool, a thriving community by now, but at that moment in need of a new generator for their water purification system. While helping the town to fix this problem, they saved a young boy from a rabid dog. Accounts differ as to what happened next, but apparently the owner of the dog - a young man named Bobby - attacked the rangers for killing his pet, and they were forced to kill him in self-defense.
The next few stops on their patrol were much less fraught with drama - they saved Ag Center from an animal invasion, bought an engine from the Desert Nomads, saved the Mayor in Quartz by defeating a mob boss named Ugly John, and freed a young mechanic named Ace, who joined them, and who has proven an asset to the Desert Rangers ever since.
But the wasteland is a place of madness and desperation, and insanity is not long in rearing its head. Which it did in the next town they visited: Needles. There they encountered the Servants of the Mushroom Cloud - who worship the nuclear holocaust itself - and the discovered the Temple of Blood. At this point rumors began to reach their ears that "something was wrong in the desertâ€, but they could not get any clear word on what, only that they would find the answer in the cesspit known as Las Vegas.

In Vegas, the polite but dangerous crime lord Faran Brygo told them that killer cyborgs had been threatening the town, and that his right hand man Max knew more about them, but had disappeared. Further investigation led the rangers to the Las Vegas branch of the Servants of the Mushroom Cloud. Before she would talk to them, their leader, Charmaine, sent the rangers back to Needles to retrieve the Bloodstaff from the Temple of Blood. Once they brought it to her, she told them to search for Max in the sewers of Vegas.

It is here that the rumors the Rangers had been hearing were proved true. The sewers were swarming with androids! Metal monstrosities of all shapes and sizes roamed the underground, attacking on sight. After a brutal fight with the androids, the rangers found Max - or rather pieces of Max - as he turned out to be a lifelike but disassembled artificial human. Max had hoped to negotiate peace with the cyborgs, but was ripped apart for his troubles. Though not before he had learned where they had been coming from - an ancient, pre-apocalypse military facility called Base Cochise.

Where is my New Vegas converted to the Fallout 2 engine?

Armed with this information, the rangers marched off to end the cyborg menace, but it wasn't going to be as easy as walking through Base Cochise's front door. To fight the androids the rangers were going to need more and better equipment. To that end, they explored another old facility known as the Sleeper Base, where an automated training program taught them how to fly helicopters.

From there, they traveled to Darwin Village, yet another ancient military facility. To their horror, they found another major threat to the wastes here, as the former director of the facility, an insane cyborg by the name of Irwin John Finster, was creating dangerous mutated creatures that he hoped would inherit the planet once the cyborgs and a dangerous plague he'd developed had wiped out all humans. Unable to reason with Finster, the rangers decided to end this threat before it truly started, and destroyed him and the base.

Soon after, the rangers learned that the keys that would allow them to enter Base Cochise were held by a dangerous, xenophobic sect known as the Guardians of the Old Order, who were obsessed with preserving technology and keeping it out of the hands of the common people. When the Guardians responded to the rangers request for the keys with unnecessary force, the rangers assaulted their fortress, the Guardian Citadel a massive facility built into the side of a mountain. We now call the place Ranger Citadel.

In the end, Hell Razor, Angela Deth, Thrasher and Snake Vargas battled their way to the Guardians' inner sanctum, uncovering a cache of power armor and a functional Attack Helicopter, which they flew to Base Cochise, wiping out the android patrols sent to destroy them and landing on the roof. Inside the base, they found a malevolent computer known as the Base Cochise AI mass-producing the robot scourge.

The rangers tricked the AI into creating an administrative robot they named Vax, and with Vax's help, they dismantled the robot-making machinery. But knowing that the base would eventually repair itself - that they had only stopped the robot horde temporarily - they plunged into the heart of Base Cochise and fought through a gauntlet of mechanical madness to start a chain reaction of explosions that finally wiped the base off the map.
In the 15 years since, the Desert Rangers have moved their headquarters from the old prison facilities that had served them for a century to the larger and more secure Guardian Citadel. Initially there was some thought given to keeping the Prison staffed and returning it to its original purpose, but this would have required manpower that the Rangers needed to keep patrolling the wastes for remnants of Base Cochise's cyborg army and Finster's monstrosities. For while those threats were averted, the mark they left on the wasteland has not entirely faded.
And so, with their greatest danger passed, the Rangers are now a strong and well-respected force in Arizona, fully capable of fulfilling their promise to their fellow survivors of the apocalypse - that they will be ever-vigilant defenders of the wastes, and strive with hearts, minds and strength of arms, to bring about a new and better era of human civilization.

So there you go, the story of the spiritual prequel to Fallout. But after these events, By the end of Wasteland 2 theyre nomadic like they are in Fallout 1, at least until they join together with the Park Ranger looking slaver hunting NCR rangers when the legion kicks them outta Arizona. And if youre autistic, just add 100 years to the dates given and it doesn't really contradict Fallout in any way. The Guardians could easily be Enclave or the Remnants of the BoS splinter group that tried to Crack the glow soon after the Bombs.

>The faster you work the better.
Doesn't sound like the kind of work I'd want to pay money for. I wouldn't for example buy a car where they're goal is to shit out as many of them as possible, as fast as possible. Honestly I'd rather wait a few months more for a significantly better game than get it right away and have it be poor quality. Especially since you often have to pay more than $100 for all of a game's content these days.

Bethesda shits money. Them and Rockstar will always make games even if consoles die out.

>>153533709The cancelled Fallout Tactics 2 was going to feature Florida taken over by a jungle of man eating mutant plants
Cancelled Fallout games had crazy plots planned, especially Extreme

>>153534164
Was Extreme the one where you lead a squad across Alaska, cross into Russia and eventually make your way to China, where you kill the empower that's trying to nuke America again? That one is off the fucking chain.

Yeah look at this crazy shit. Unfortunately it was going to be a console 1st & third person FPS. Kinda prophetic there actually.

"It is unclear when exactly the game was going to take place. According to the summary in a design document, "almost a century has passed" since the Great War, but it's probably just an error that would have been fixed in the final version of the game, just like the "I was born just after the bombs fell" in Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel.

The Brotherhood of Steel (judging from the concept art, probably the Midwestern branch from Fallout Tactics), the "once silent organization", has been expanding and seizing more and more territory under their control. Their area of influence stretches as far as Alaska, where the Brotherhood's new headquarters is now located. The Brotherhood's agenda "leaves little room for the survival of radiation or FEV outbreak victims". Local humans are either drafted into the Brotherhood's ranks as cannon fodder or enslaved, and mutants are outright eradicated. It is the Brotherhood that the player would oppose during the first half of the game.

The player controls a squad of revolutionaries known as The Cause. Throughout the game, it would gain momentum, starting in Oregon, Washington and Canada. Each reclaimed town would vow loyalty to the player's cause.

However, after defeating the Brotherhood, the player would learn why the Brotherhood set out to Canada and Alaska in the first place. The rebels must now venture across the Bering Strait, through Russia and Mongolia and finally into China, in order to destroy the Doom's Day Missile that could obliterate what is left of America. The endgame would take place within the Forbidden City, where the Chinese Emperor resides.

Among the factions encountered along the way would be the Issaquah Nation, the Inuits, the Montauk, the Horde of Huns, Siberian Cossacks and finally the Army of the Golden Tiger and New Imperial Guard."

you won't be able to stealth archery

>>153536173
Stealth isnt as shit as it appears at first but itd best not to make it a tagged skill. I usually got it to 100℅ by the end of the game regardless. Its very useful in the endgame but early on you wont have a ton of sneak opportunities

>>153536395
That image will never cease to be true

>>153536395
Meanwhile in Wasteland 2 a similar situation happens, the only way to stop a killer AI from uploading its brain into every robot, cyborg, computer (including any surviving nuclear silos), and synth in the West and achieve immortality is to set off a nuke manually, and you can pick any companion to sacrifice themselves to do so. Only the most selfish bad karma ones will refuse and even then you can do it yourself with one of your 4 player characters if they didn't die as well, since the game has Perma-Death. Failing that, you charged into battle with a horde of friendly NPCs who may also do it if they survive the Synth & Cyborg hordes. The Chief of the Railroad Nomad tribe did it for me, RIP.

>>153540427
Although you only get those NPCs help if you did their quests in certain ways. I ended up fighting with around 30 NPC allies when we raided the AI's lair. It was more of a Battle than anything Bethesda tried to do, especially the damn Skyrim civil war.
Next playthough I wont savescum. Wonder how the ending is different if my final character sacrifices themselves.

There's literally nothing else that could have happened.

>>153542227
I don't know why they created a new strain of them. Apparently every fucking lab in the US had FEV and the potential to make Supermutants...

Why not take dumb dumbs from DC, that wandered off?

Or west-coast mutants. I find intelligent mutants way more freighting.

>>153542519
Did you at least get the Tesla armor first?

>>153542594
Bethesda felt that it wasn't a Fallout game without a new group of super-mutants, I guess. Just like how they feel about Brotherhood of Steel.

Intelligent mutants are more frightening, I agree. Frank Horrigan's one of my favorite vidya villains simply because of how well he's built up and how he intimidates. Lou Tenant is downright repulsive to look at, and a hell of a boss fight to boot.

>>153553710
kek, i always forget modoc even exists

>>153552654
Vault city is probably the worst part of the game for me. You're underpowered still at this point, enemies start getting loaded down with better weapons and are encountered in large groups.

Vault City's quests are boring too. and they're assholes.

>>153554831
That's true and it's the reason why the game gets more exciting, you start to find decent loot, winning the fights feels more like an achievement and unless you have a bad character you it shouldn't be too difficult to tackle the basic quests. The VC raiders however are easily the most difficult part of the game at this point, most people would do well just to retun later with better equipment and at higher level

>>153555218

Whenever I see videos like this one, I remember my professors at film school thinking everything we made was really cool and amazing.

Then I wonder if people really have such a shit taste, or it's just a "it's cool because it was made by normal people".

This video fucking sucks, like Nuka Break, and like that Lanius one. You've got the customes. You've got the environment. Just film the fucking shit correctly and get some good actors.

>>153569438
This is the best of the three honestly, because it takes things slow. Nuka Break is by far the worst; production values are nice, but I get a horrid sense of "I bet these people have only played Fallout 3" about it.

>>153568237

>>153569954
http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/45031/?

It's probably just their budgets holding them back. Actors and equipment cost a lot of money, costumes can be made for cheap and environments are free for the most part.

Same reason why when you shoot a brahmin both of its heads fall off.

I know filming even a short is expensive provided you want to make a quality short. Then again, these people have the most important things: the costumes to be believable, and the environments to be believable.

Just make a casting and hire some good actors, we do that all the time here for college, and sometimes you get some really nice people to work with.

Of course, if the director is shit, no big budget is going to save you. The camera may be good, but if all you know how to film are crappy angles, you are doomed from the start.

/cfog/ began as daily NV threads on /v/ after /fog/ became dominated by 4 talk, said threads eventually got moved here by mods. We decided to group NV with the older games for this general because of their great relevance to each other.

I really don't get why /cfog/ has inspired so much disdain from /fog/, surely this is better than having us argue with each other and shitting up that one thread.

Honestly, since Fallout 4's last DLC came out I feel like the Fallout 4 discussion is going to slow down on /fog/ and New Vegas and the classics could easily be discussed there.

Maybe it's idealistic but given some time I think /cfog/ and /fog/ could come together.

Does anyone know where I can find a full suit of Disciple armour without killing them for it?

>>153574958
If you have all ranks of pickpocket you could take it, and Gage occasionally sells pieces.
Best way to get it is to kill them though, just quicksave first and don't get caught and nothing will happen.

I don't see this split as a permanent thing either, like you said with Nuka World out 4 discussion is gonna steadily drop while talk about NV has more or less stabilized. as time goes on it'll more than likely drop below NV's level and we'll be able to merge without much fighting. Especially with Skyrim 2 coming out in a few months and dragging most of the waifufags back to /tesg/.

>>153573279
Has anyone ever unironically done it Daniel's way and left Zion? Why even have such a dumb option? Could they just not think of a better one to give you more choices? It's not like the idea just isn't for me, I don't think more than 1% of players would choose to leave Zion.

>>153576151
I wish there were an option to side with the White Legs, helping Joshua fight a tribe wanting to join the Legion is really hard to justify on a Legion run. I know there's Chaos in Zion but that's hardly a questline, just a failsafe to gtfo of there if you accidentally anyone important.

Is HH Reborn any good? I've heard this actually does have a Legion route but haven't had the chance to try the mod out for myself.

>>153576084
Yeah, basically how I see it. /fog/ became all about Fallout 4 for a while but that was more or less the peak of Fallout 4's popularity. With that dying down since there won't be any more official content the casuals will move onto other games.

Once everyone wraps up Nuka World the only things left to discuss for the most part will be mods and lore.

>>153576460
>Is HH Reborn any good
I played it a bit a good while ago, and within the first 20 minutes, found a Legion troop with green hair.

According to some anons here, you still have to side with Joshua, and they even changed Joshua's voice.

>>153576843
So, would that mean we win? I don't know what we are winning, but /fog/ sure think they are winning due to it being more popular

Looks pretty bad.

I've never seen anyone talk about it but a really cool feature from the classic FOs is the "Tell me more about" option in dialogue.

Never played a game with anything like that before, it's a pretty neat way to get personality and information out of NPCs when dialogue options would be awkward.

>>153578962
I'm trying to make a basic quest where you deliver a package to someone as part 1, and part 2 is where you go to a house and get ambushed. I have everything set you, it's just I can't make it so that dialogue shows up only at certain stages of quests. I've been watching videos on how to do it, but I think what I'm doing is too specific

When was it mentioned in-game that Rex saw service in the Legion?
I know it's mentioned during his ending slides, but don't recall anyone having mentioned it.
Is it stated how he was released/escaped?

And did anyone else find it ridiculous that, regardless of what's done with Rex even if you kill him/let him die and Roxie, that it always ends in her finding him and the two having puppies?
I know absurd coincidences happen throughout the series, but it being every ending slide for Roxie ends in her breeding with Rex seems -very- far fetched.

That's the thing, anon, all of the BoS members are wrong.

I always go in wanting to like the BoS, but then they show me how rude, cowardly and afraid they are. They may have been more stupid in FO3, but they were definitely better people. Maybe they wouldn't have to hide in a hole in the ground if they didn't go around acting like jerks, while at the same time, being on the verge of extinction. All they can do is harrass innocent travelers and passerbys for their tech. It's like they're asking to be wiped out. It makes it really easy to justify killing them all when they decide to be mean and disrespectful.

But anon, they've been doing that since before 2161.

>>153595161
I understand your point of view and I actually agree with you to some degree, but I like them this way.
As an example, I'll use the "Outcasts" from DC, tied into the DLC 'Operation Anchorage'.
The facility they guarded had absurdly powerful technology inside, technology that, in the hands of the assaulting Super Mutants or possibly raiders would cause unforeseeable damage and death to many.
I mean, do we really want raiders running around with better than BoS levels of Power Armour, stealth suits and fucking Gauss Rifles?
Of course not.
This function, what they're best at, is why they're needed.
They keep incredible tech out of the hands of savages.

I'd rather than didn't harass random folk wielding Laser Pistols which, if I remember correctly, were basic self defence weapons pre-war, and instead focus exclusively upon keeping weapons like Archimedes II away from people who would use it to aid destruction.
I feel they're somewhat of a necessity to protect humanity.

>>153591401
If you cancel the launch at the Divide you can get to Idolized with the BoS

>>153595916
>keeping weapons like Archimedes II away from people who would use it to aid destruction.
>I feel they're somewhat of a necessity to protect humanity.
They don't really do that though, or at least they haven't been able to keep any truly destructive devices out of anyone's hands

>>153597192
I already mentioned that, but thanks.

It's really shitty that that's the only way to reach that point, due to lack of BoS content.

>>153597268
>They don't really do that though, or at least they haven't been able to keep any truly destructive devices out of anyone's hands
At the very least, they try.
They'd probably have been able to defend, destroy or even keep Helios One if Elijah wasn't a fuckwit.

And, provided that the Lone Wanderer isn't some bad Karma mental patient, the Outcasts, who act just as the proper BoS does, effectively did prevent Super Mutants and/or raiders from getting access to the storage facility.

Considering the traditional BoS stance the Mojave chapter has, if they didn't have less content than the Legion, it's relatively safe to assume they'd have had quite a few missions involving the acquisition of dangerous technology.
Yes, I'm still mad they have so little content in NV

>>153597750
>They'd probably have been able to defend, destroy or even keep Helios One if Elijah wasn't a fuckwit.
There's no way they could have kept Helios, even assuming they had grade-A orders. The NCR simply had too many bodies to throw at them.

And regardless, McNamera and presumably the rest of the BoS outside Elijah knows that Archimedes II is really shit.

>>153597750
New Vegas director's cut when?

>>153598326
When Bethesda's about to go bankrupt. They won't let anyone touch the license but them ever again.


what a bunch of faggots.

>>153598038
>The NCR simply had too many bodies to throw at them.
You're probably right, I just think that it could have gone differently if, rather than Elijah focusing the majority of his troops to immediately protect him, he or preferably another Elder focused on maintaining the area in its entirety or even attempting democratic compromise with the NCR, something Elijah was incapable of.
This is making me wish 'Operation: Sunburst' was an in-game quest, able to be influenced by the Courier

>McNamera and presumably the rest of the BoS outside Elijah knows that Archimedes II is really shit.
You're sunspot on there.
Elijah is a fuckwit, but he's a brilliant one.
The rest of the BoS seem to lack his qualities, but it seems like his gifts should be more common among them, similar to the Ciphers.

>>153595916
It would be hard for them to try something more peaceful, such as regulating laser and plasma weaponry for citizen use in an alliance with the NCR (or government of your choosing) instead of outright stealing tech and painting themselves as the bad guys because they've kinda burned their bridges with the rest of civilization with their hostility, haven't they? People are just afraid of them/dislike them. If they worked as a force of true benevolence, they could afford to walk the surface with their fellow man, helping technology stay out of the wrong hands, not just everyone but their own hands. People would probably see them as heroes, and obviously that would come with its own perks.
I guess I'd just describe them as a little to zealous. Like, they want to take Mr. House's securitrons, but why? He's not a raider or a savage and he's done a lot of good things for the Strip. He's certainly saved more lives than the BoS has, I'd wager. They don't know this of course because they are blinded by their codex or whatever it is that makes them think and act the way they do.
I just can't see them being able to perform their function if they are confined to a bunker and can only leave in small, discreet groups because they know people want them dead, even the "good" guys.

Could savages and raiders even use or comprehend some of the really advanced, dangerous technology they "protect"? Seems like a cop-out excuse to hoard more tech sometimes, though not every time. They're too greedy and they try to take everything by force. Why not sign treaties and make agreements or something? When you have really advanced weapons and armor of your own, you think you'd feel a little more at ease being civil and nice to people, but they just use it as an excuse to be bullies. The BoS wouldn't be so bold if they didn't have power armor and lasers to hide behind. They're keeping the wasteland back, I think, with their barbarism. House is right about them.

>>153598326

What would you guys rather, NV with all the cut content restored (Legions lands, playing after the dam battle, etc.) and unrestricted by the hardware of last gen (better strip, more NPCs, etc.) or a brand new Fallout by the current Obsidian staff?

>>153599406
Brand new Fallout because I've played this game a million times and I think it's pretty much fine as is, though obviously not as great as it could have been. Still great though.

It'd be like getting a new DLC as opposed to a new game.

>>153599406
Brand new Fallout

>>153598793
>It would be hard for them to try something more peaceful
You're correct, that's why I hope they'll evolve to a halfway point between the East and West coast, as that's the best course I could see them taking and prevents their eventual destruction, provided they continue their course.

>a little to zealous
That's exactly their problem, they can't see that there are people outside of themselves who can be trusted with advanced tech, albeit few.

As someone who really likes the BoS, it pains me to admit that you're completely correct.
Despite their technology and military history, they're still tribals as much as the Khans are.
They have a lot of progress that needs to be made to prevent a Nation-wide Bitter Springs on them.

>>153599406
Updated FNV honestly.
I don't have much hope for the current Obsidian lineup.

>>153599406
NV as it was meant to be.

>>153599406
Brand new Fallout with ample time to finish, but then have them use the profits from it to make a completed New Vegas with everyone from production back on board and better DLC integration effectively making them part of the main game for example, being able to report back to the BoS about Elijah's fate instead of just Veronica, having Ulysses/Graham as a companion, etc.

Often I think about what NV was supposed to be and it's disheartening, especially considering the Legion towns, more BoS content and the, I'm sure, dozens of things that we don't even know about that would have been fantastic.

That said, I'd totally join the BoS if I could, because you get power armor, weapons and safety. It's probably also pretty clean and I bet they even have showers. It basically sounds pretty fantastic, but only if you're a part of the faction. If I were a random wastelander or anyone else pretty much, I'm sure I'd despise them.

Also, cute girls in power armor would be pretty hot. And like I said, they probably wouldn't be smelly and dirty if they had showers.

>>153600984
Bethesda caters to the lowest common denominator. Their games are literally for children and have been simplified as such, as 1/2/NV harken back to classic Sci-Fi stories, when there was more meaning to it than audience gratification. An apt comparison to make would be Mad Max vs Transformers. Bethesda's games are literally for people who can't go more than a minute without explosions or blood, as evidenced by how Pete Hines calls their dialogue the best, because he doesn't have patience for long dialogue.

>>153601514
You might not survive the trip to the Glow on the other hand.

I really wish they kept in the romance sidequest for the female paladin in the bunker

>>153601686
I'll be honest, I did start losing patience with all of the dialogue at the start of OWB.

Can anyone give me a map of the US with all the canon fallout maps inside of it?

>>153601514
I get you, I'd make it a life effort to join if it were an option.
Even though DC is one of the most fucked places in pre-war American, I'd even join the BoS there.
Aside from the prospect of showers and safety, there's the brotherhood pun intended in serving with these people that you've grown with in a situation not commonly seen elsewhere.
It seems to be more than you'd get in the NCR, who are often only in service due to conscription, which fosters resentment.
The only faction I could see similar is the Desert Rangers, but they're effectively long since gone.

>cute girls in power armor would be pretty hot
You're goddamn right, anon.
Helmet and all with a feminine voice behind it

Hell, I'd even forego Power Armour in favour of Recon Armour, as it's gorgeous.

Bunkers are also maximum comfy.

I don't know what to think about Bethesda. I don't want to say anything too negative about them, because I don't know the entirety of the situation or what goes on in their heads (besides what that idiot, Pete Hines, says), but to put it simply, I think people like us would be a lot happier if they didn't set the bar so low.

Does Pete Hines really say that awful stuff? I always see screencaps and paraphrasing of things he said (which I think can possibly be faked to drum up hate), but he seems to come off as so matter-of-fact and rude, and generally just ignorant. I can't believe he can say things like that, because it really makes me view anything he's involved in a little worse. I always see the twitter posts about him telling Fallout fans that he doesn't care about what their issue with the game is because it's not the direction he was wanting the game to go in (whether that's just him trying to cover up his lore and plot mistakes with arrogance or no), like the one about the ghoul kid in FO4. He seems so immature.
