There needed to be something going for it, Power Armor and shooting shit are the only reasons I can play Fallout 4.

Yes, and the log that mentions it being developed in favor of "duraframe eyebots" is a New Vegas thing.

But the whole "Enclave discarded the eyebots for Hellfire armor" is in NV. It's part of the Lonesome Road DLC.

You did play New Vegas, right?

How so?

ED-E is in the Mojave essentially because Autumn had the Duraframe project discarded in favor of the Hellfire project.

ED-E was sent from Adams AFB, which means he probably was sent away from Washington during the events of Fallout 3.

Just looked in on this conversation, and honestly, he does have a point, but not for the example he has given.

>prewar
>looks like a primitive early model

>>
>>158579656
Neither, really.

I'm also not sure why you consider Stalker mutants more dangerous. I mean sure, an overleveled with all DLCs Courier fears nothing, but a early-mid level Courier runs into a Deathclaw and he's fucked. The thing is crazy fast (especially if it's a mommy), has iron skin and kills him in one swipe. And they are pack animals. Stalker has what, pseudogiants? They're dumb and slow.
>>
>>158579916
The explanation was they found a huge supply of them when they took over The Pentagon.
>>
>>158579778
Was it described in VB as "crappy-looking with huge pauldrons"?
>>
>>158580059
I don't know, I think they never even designed it.

I don't think the model is that bad-looking, after all it's supposed to be one of the first power armors before the T-51b entered service.
>>
>>158580205
>I don't think the model is that bad-looking
Well, I do, that's pretty much my main beef with it, really.
>>
>>158579926
Pseudogiants are pretty easy unless you're out of ammo or stuck in a phone booth with one, though, kind of like fighting a Super Mutant who only has a melee weapon. A better comparison would be the Chimera, which is also fast, aggressive, and deadly (but only shows up in one game).

Also, when I said well traveled, I meant high level NPCs and Couriers, so we actually agree on that part. There's more of a difference between a high level, all DLCs Courier and an early-mid Courier than an endgame Stalker and an early-mid Stalker, so I was just trying to reflect that. Didn't mean to put down the lethality of Fallout monsters.
>>
>>158579689
i never tried it, story sounds dumb. but the creators spend 10 years making it sooo....i guess why not give it a shot.
>>
>>158581634
I think the deal is that Fallout monsters are a great deal more lethal, but Fallout setting gives you access to some extremely potent futuristic toys to go toe-to-toe with them. Stalker is more down-to-earth in that regard, thought the beta did have a minigun...
>>
>Bozar is a state-of-the-art full-auto sniper rifle machinegun thingy, crafted with unrivaled precision
>Is less accurate than a modded minigun
>Less DPS as well, not to mention no AP effect on default ammo
>>
>>158581897
That's fair. Aside from the few mind-melting assholes that pop up, it's safe to say the monsters are more designed for a somewhat above average dude with a surplus military rifle and a pocket full of old sausage as opposed to a regenerating cyborg in power armor with a plasma rifle who can slow down time to aim shots to the face.

i really feel for Obsidian, i know this was said 10000 times but they did made best out of shitty Geybryo and actually made viable Fallout game (even if its open world FPS),and something resembling an real RPG.
People talk about FONV even today, mod community is strong ,fans make projects that could be compared to base FO3 game(or better), yet Beth took all the glory, they have one cult fallout game(fonv),they took all the praise and Obsi just got flack(press called it unoptimised and buggy, yet main fault was in power of consoles).

I bet FONV will be rembered much longer than FO4(i just cant forgive Beth that they dared to rape this IP so hard, im not Amerifat but Fallout is part of USA gaming legacy, same as Star Wars(in movie world),if not that big).
I reinstalled FO4 maybe 5 times, always believeing it was my fault, i kinda went wrong way, chosed wrong build/wrong side, its a long game, it will pick up the pace... and i deleted it 5 times(lvl 20 is breaking point for me, no matter what way i tried).
Worst part is, i wasnt even hyped for the game(honestly,when i saw promo settlement building i just crossed the game) so i had low expectations and even with that mindset i was heavily disapointed. Its a fucking Fallout, fuck sake, i would be honestly more hyped by real F3 by Obsidian(no gamebryo or fps, let them chose best way game should be developed) than for fucking HL3 at this point.
poor thing got raped 4 times:BOS,that ps2 birdperspectiive shooter by BI ,FO3 and lastly FO4.

They need to either fire, promote him, or move him horizontally through the company, because his story direction since fallout 3 has been Bethesda's biggest weakness.

It amazes me he's in the position that he's in. He started his career as a video game reviewer while going to college for something totally unrelated to writing. He gave the developers of the Thief series a good review and they gave a job in return, then he moved on to Bethesda and did the Dark Brotherhood quest for Oblivion. It was a polished turd in a dump of a game. Fallout 3's story was garbage. Skyrim's story was garbage. Fallout 4's story was garbage

>>158608934
You weren't listening, not to offend, but he very clearly states that the game's story, at its heart, is the projection of a struggle between himself and the omnipotent presence of whitey bulger("write what you know"). He reveals that the Institute "is whitey bugler", which to me is a vague comparison at best. A more direct comparison would be between Bulger and Kelogg.

It really is such a shame. I was replaying Fallout 1 the other day and the amount of options is so fantastic. You can finish the game without killing anything, you can permanently fuck your stats, you have so many dialogue options.

The world is realistic within its own boundaries, communities have food and water and protection and are suitably isolated.

Fallout 4 has a lot of great concepts that could work on theory, but their execution is so abysmal that it directly discredits the creators. Building a settlement has the potential to be a very "Fallout" thing - selecting a good location, recruiting people to come to the town, finding a way to generate an economy, etc. Include some moral choices - creating a weapons mill lead to tougher bandits if you sell to everyone, or you can take a hit to profits and only sell to nice settlements. Exclude some settlements that don't offer any benefits and have their people leave that place, maybe even joining yours. There is a lot of potential in settlement building alone, but Fallout 4 is effectively The Sims instead and I couldn't think of a lazier implementation.

I could write an entire essay on the decline of the Fallout series, unfortunately it's been slowly downhill since the first sequel, but goddamn if 3 & 4 didn't plunge it right off a cliff

It's very strange to me what he said at the end about killing elder maxon and taking over the bos.

You do know that "lead writer" doesn't mean that he "Writes the whole game" right?

Sawyer was the lead writer on New Vegas, but theres tons of major shit about the MQ he had zero hand in.

Lead writer just means "people make shit, he looks it over and goes yeah or nah"

individual quests are designed and written by the people who program that quest.

Not to mention Sawyer has straight up admitted that both the Legion and New Vegas(the city) are implausible because he didn't notice how short of a time span he gave for their creation until it was so late in the development that it couldn't be changed.

Sawyer, the lead writer for New Vegas, didn't know how long of a time frame the other writers had given fro major plot elements abut the formation of one of the major factions, and the main city of the game.

As shitty as BEthesda is, its people making remarks like these that make me wonder if anyone has any idea how game development actually works, or if they are just putting all the blame on the easiest target out of ignorance.

You do know that the lead writer in many gaming projects has a greater role than being just a yes/no man right? And if you watched his talk you'd see how much more involved the lead writer role was.

Also, there's no comparison between the timeline oversight and the BOS oversight. Emil was clearly aware of the plot point of saving paladin danse and taking over the bos before dialogue was recorded. The conflict between saving the synth and culture of BOS faction should have been obvious any time after he story boarded the main plot where the disposition of the BOS towards synths would have been known.

Guerrilla tactics are surprisingly effective with melee weapons against firearm wielding forces. The Boxers did it early on during the Boxer War and many of the early colonial revolts were successful doing it as well. Plus, contrary to popular belief, the Legion uses firearms in conventional battles which you see during Hoover Dam.

And even every other recruit has some gun. Cowboy repeaters, Hi-Powers, .357 magnums, 9mm SMG occasionally. Nothing fancy, and I think the implication is that they had to take those in battle, they aren't issued firearms. Vulpes' squad has cowboy repeaters on each member, which are pretty solid guns for the time you encounter them.

Hm, actually, given the looter nature of the Legion I'm surprized they don't use NCR Service Rifles. Maybe they're unreliable in-setting, kind of like early Vietnam M-16s were (yes, I know, powder change fucked them over), but there's no mention of that in lore.

You not every military engagement is a Zulu-style clash of armies, right?

One of the Legion's biggest advantages is that their forces are extremely mobile and have a light logistical chain, since their forces can easily live off of the land. The NCR, meanwhile, is choked by bureaucracy and the need for solid supply chains, which means they're easy to spot anywhere they set up camp (with the exception of the rangers).

Many Legion victories are probably similar to the attack on Ranger Station Charlie: NCR soldiers out in the open, minding their own business, when they're suddenly surprised by stealthy Legion attackers.

From what I know, all legionarries start as recruits. They are given bad armor and machetes and sent on skirmishes and raids. This is suppose to teach you how to adapt to the environment, hence the whole "tech makes you weak thing". After that you get promoted based on merit and experience. The higher you go up the chain the better weapons you get. The point is to make them reach for it rather than have it handed to them.

As for big battles, they send the troops out in waves. First the recruits with machetes many don't survive, but the ones that do are the strongest and they move up the ladder. The next wave is the primes, they get better guns but still have machetes and are going to be doing the core of the fighting. Finally you get the veterans, these guys have killed many and are hard motherfuckers they get submachine guns, anti material rifles ect. They are the final wave that sends the tired enemy packing.

Everyone who lives moves up and the new slaves they capture after the battle fill the gaps of the dead. This process has a lot of casualties, but that is the point to make hard strong people that could survive in a post apocalyptic world. It is also why they take slaves and why they force women to bear children. They need a lot of bodies.

All capable males slaves are conscripted into the army. Female slaves are used as a support corps, caretakers, healers, midwives, and breeders.

But keep in mind that we only get to see the army, you can't visit Caesars land in the game.
But the wiki states, "Those living under the Legion's control are considered subjects, not members of the Legion proper. Lands under Caesar's protection enjoy stability and security far greater than lands outside its sphere of influence. Traders that have to cross NCR's territories with a guard contingent can safely travel on Legion trade routes alone, without any fear or danger of being attacked by raiders or other criminals. Caesar is considered a harsh, but benevolent lord by those who reside inside his domain but have not been enslaved into his army."

So I figure when they conquer new territory they enslave as many as they need to refill their ranks and let the rest go about their business. They might not even have slaves in their territory it might just be an army thing only.

Here's a mod I uncovered that you guys might want to have. It changes some super mutants to their classic style from FO2. I think for the most part the mod author based them on Lieutenant.

Apparently the mod pack, amongst other things, changes a lot of the super mutants to this, rather than having them all have that stupid, permanently angry look. I think Tabitha and other "hostile" mutants have the angry face though.

Why? Fallout 1,2 and New Vegas still exists.

There are some people who are trying to translate Fallout of Nevada on NMA, and Project Brazil is almost finished. Fan modding for those games are still active and ran discussions are still active as well. We might not be getting new good official games but we still love Fallout. I don't know why you'd just jump ship.

As for Wasteland, I've never played it so I can't answer your question.

>>158665589
Yeah, I've played it and enjoyed it a lot. I am considering getting Tyranny, but I may get Wasteland 2 instead because I need my post-apocalyptic fix, preferably free of Bethesda's influence.

It's barely an RPG, being closer to JA, and the setting's too generic. I mean, it's better than F3/4, but it doesn't even begin to compare to NV.

I disliked that PoE tried too hard to recapture that Infinity Engine magic, but it was objectively great, especially compared to any other modern """"""rpg"""""". Obsidian could definitely do better, but PoE was anything but bad.

He did buy some for Vegas, IIRC? He's a pro-gun liberal.

He could always remember his youth as a Legionnaire.
>>
>>158666431
I see what you're saying but I think even if Sawyer had time to prepare it would only even out the playing field, but still be in Avellone's favor. I don't think Avellone can even feel pain. He is pain.
>>
>>158665814
>Why?

Because I don't like being associated with Fallout 3/4, which are so bad it's embarrassing. I want a series that is consistently good.
>>
>>158666561
The thing is, Sawyer knows that about Avellone too. I think he would build his defensive strategy around Avellone's character. Maybe invest in tranquilizers or something.
>>
>>158666602
Neither do we, but that's why we are on /cfog/ and not /fog/. I get where you are coming from though. It's almost embarrassing in a way to be a fallout fan because if you met "one" out in the wild it's almost a guarantee that they'd be a fan of Bethesda's games. And to make it worse they'd probably tell you New Vegas is bad because it didn't feel like an apocalypse, or even worse, it didn't feel "Fallout-y" enough.
>>
>>158666895
>we
>>
>>158666806
Yeah, you're right. I didn't even think of that for some reason. But what if Avellone has no physical weaknesses and Sawyer knew that?
>>
>>158666806
> implying tranqs would work on Avellone
And incendiary rounds would just make him more dangerous. The man could skull fuck a Lanius on a bad day.
>>
>>158667112
I think Sawyer would run. Sawyer is pretty weedy, but he's not stupid. He would avoid a straight fight with Avellone at all costs. But if it came to a straight fight, Avellone would win.
>>
>>158666895
fucking this
>>
>>158667107
>>158667262
Agreed. Avellone would tear Sawyer apart. But also Sawyer would tear Todd apart.
>>
>>158667462
Todd is a kitten compared to those two. He'd probably try to bribe them with millions of dollars before they strike the killing blow.
>>
desu Avellone would just try to deliver an impressive monologue before striking Sawyer down, giving him enough time to grab a gun and shoot him
>>
>>158667462
So Sawyer vs Avellone is basically Batman vs Superman.
In the end they team up to stop the evil manlet Todd from unleashing Pete Hines onto the world

Delete this. OS2 is already far better than nu-BG games from Obsidian.
>>

Sawyer comes across as someone who gets very invested in their research for writing.

But I can also see him as being a gun owner just because guns are fun to have. Plus you have to jump through a lot of loops in CA to get them, so him casually buying them for writing purposes seems less likely.
>>
>>158668538
According to him, he worked on it in some iteration, I remember him mentioning that in a pretty upset sounding twitter post (are twitter messages even posts? Tweets?) The "RPG where evil won" is one of those ideas that was boiling in Obs for a very long time, but no publisher picked it up. But he doesn't work with Obsidian now.

Which mods give NV a more Blade Runner/cyberpunk feel? (walking around with That Gun isn't enough)

I know Fallout is all about that 50's retro-futurism and stuff (which is something I greatly appreciate) but I'm also a huge fan of Deus Ex and Shadowrun so I'm hoping to add a few (just a few, no need to go overboard) of those themes and aethetics to NV. Sorry if all of this seems very stupid but I'd be a happy camper if you guys helped me out.

It actually has the same DPS as the Automatic Rifle.

There are 33 pages on the Nexus that include "Doc Mitchell" in the description. With twelve mods per page showing up on the Nexus, that's 356 mods.

Of those 356 mods, I feel like I can safely assume at least 9 of the 12 mods per page are weapon mods. If they're weapon/armor mods that reference Doc Mitchell's house in the description, the safe assumption is that they add these guns to his house in either a container or as a static spawn.

12/9 = 0.75, so we can multiply that mod count by 75% to get 267. That's a rough estimate.

So, that's around 267 weapons/armor that can be added to Doc Mitchell's house. However, some of these mods are packs, meaning that this rough estimate is a *minimum* number of weapons/armor.

The practical mod limit is 254 mods (00 and FF being reserved). So I could TRY to cram 254 weapon mods into his house... but usually things start to go a little bonkers around 140-170 mods. Thankfully within the estimate of 267 mods, there's likely a good number that just add the guns to a container, so I probably won't have to approach the mod limit.

The goal is to fit every single static-spawned weapon/armor placed in Doc's house available on the Nexus into one mod setup, and then take pictures if the game doesn't shit itself.

I have tomorrow off work. Wish me luck.

There are only a few dozen weapon types in the whole game, though, a couple hundred tops if you include every unique variant in addition to regular versions. Even if you were to load absolutely everything, you'd just end up with a service rifle, a super sledge, and eleven trillion bozars.

Late reply, but how the fuck do people use the Battle Rifle as a main?

I wanna like it real, real bad, but I feel like it's directly inferior to the Trail Carbine. The damage is meh, the accuracy is less than it should be, and the fact that I can reload it mid-magazine tickles my autism every time.

>>158714927
I mean, if I wanted straight up efficiency I'd just pack my AMR with HE rounds and one-hit everything in the game. I just want a rifle that feels good, shoots where I aim and kills the dudes in a realistic timeframe. Trail carbine is good for that, but ammo is a bitch and it doesn't look nearly as nice. Whatever, I'll get over it.

This. The game was designed to be beatable on the highest possible difficulty settings with just the bare minimum of what lies around the ground wherever you go. NV was never supposed to be one of those hardcore-fuck-the-player-because-fun-is-for-casuals shitfests. Just relax and do things at your own pace.
And you probably aren't even playing on very hard with jsawyer.esp and no Project Nevada.
>>
>>158713562
> the accuracy is less than it should be
1. The battle rifle is supposed to be used at close to middle ranges, while the trail carbine is essentially a poor man's sniper rifle. The weapons don't fill the same slot, so to speak, so the comparison isn't really fair.
2. Just mod it, dummy.

Eh. They're both lightweight marksman rifles with a smallish mag and comparable accuracy, I feel like it's a fair cop. I assume Battle Rifle has a higher rof but if you're not pacing your shots correctly you're not gonna hit shit.

For me, it does fill the same slot, since I only like to carry one rifle with me.

A reminder that House did absolutely nothing for two fucking centuries. That's twice the time he promised it would take him to take a man to space. He had two centuries when he had no real enemies and thus didn't even need his bloody chip to rebuild Vegas under his leadership. He had a ~seventy years headstart before the NCR even sprang up and he still ended up sucking their collective dick. The man is merely a leech whose sole interest in life is to keep proving to himself that he's better than what others think of him.

He said that he spent five, IIRC, years after the bombs fell trying not to die, and then he was pretty much free to do whatever he wanted, even if in a severely reduced capacity (which, considering the state of the world back then, was more than enough to do whatever he wanted). And even if he really were incapacitated until a few years before the start of the game, we are talking about a man whose idea of a restored Vegas was to make some tribals into cosplayers and have them run casinos. The man has fewer clues about nation-building than Tabitha.

He was intentionally waiting for the arrival of something like the NCR to help him repair Hoover Dam.

The writers also meant for the timeframe to be much smaller, they just changed the date the game happens at during development and missed that line.

>>158720076
So you acknowledge his ineptness in acquiring resources to do the job himself, even though he had a bloody robot army and pre-War tech from the very start? Yeah, even Tabitha would have done a better job if she had his actives.
>>
>>158718570

House's characterization is pretty on point in terms of portraying someone who excelled in business. When you meet him he's actually in a very weak position: his underling has all kinds of info on his operations, he's lost his chip, he only has enough hardware to protect a small section of what he claims as his property, and he's relying on a wounded mailman to pull through on his borked plans. But the whole time, he projects absolute confidence in himself and bullies you in small ways with his purported intelligence and his authority. In fact, he talks like he's already won the entire war when you meet him.

I love the hell out of Wasteland 2, but it's very much it's own animal and I don't blame anyone that just can't get the hang of it. It feels like a time relic from the 90s in some ways, including uneven balance, serious difficulty spikes, content hidden behind opaque actions, and generally a design that demands you save frequently because disaster is always around the corner. But if you think you can handle that, then it's a great game.

Wasteland 1 definitely holds up better than just about any other game from the 80s, but even it's really difficult to get into.
>>
>>158720240
Again, he already had his robots to claim and enforce his rule on the Mojave, all he needed was engineers to work the dam. He had enough resources to get tribals to man the casinos, so he most definitely could have applied them to actually build some fucking infrastructure.
>>158720383
House is definitely a brilliant businessman, but skill in networking and trading stocks doesn't translate into ability to build nations. He's very realistic as a character in this regard, which his fanboys for some reason miss.

>>158720270

So you acknowledge you didn't pay attention? He needed the platinum chip to make full use of the Securitrons, he could only communicate with them over a short distance before that.

He made do with what he had. Your whole argument is "he didn't just go take over the world, what an idiot!"
>>
>>158720521

Wasteland 2 is very underwhelming if you go into it expecting it to be like Fallout. It's more like a post-apocalyptic X-COM than it is anything like Fallout.

I enjoyed it until midway through the second act, when the combat just started to get repetitive. The Director's Cut adding perks and traits looked promising but the prospect of replaying all that shit again never compelled me to reinstall.
>>
>>158720685
The man explicitly possessed enough resources to employ three raider tribes and spend millions of caps on his projects. And hell, even if he only had the securitrons, he can actually reach quite far with them — just ask Victor, — and if a businessman can't make a profit out of a mostly self-sufficient army, then he can't really pretend to have the solution to every problem, now can he?

>That means he had enough resources to do whatever he wanted and start sending shit to space

I really don't understand your thought process here.
>>
>>158721153
1. Nice of you to ignore the part where he kept spending literal millions with the implication that he had even more.
2. He could have kept accumulating his resources step by step the old-fashioned way, building infrastructure, fixing roads, increasing the level of Vegas' agricultural efficiency, educating the locals to make them into his budding nation's new middle class, repairing old factories and building new ones to produce construction materials for the various building projects, weapons, clothing, books, electronics, etc. You know, nation building stuff. I repeat once again that he already had a robot army and an extensive knowledge of old world tech, making him far outclass the BoS and at the very least go toe-to-toe with the Enclave. And yet he did almost none of that, instead wasting all the resources he had on getting an upgrade that ultimately doesn't matter.
>>
>>158721884

Why would he do all that shit? His plan is to go to space, not make America great again.
>>
>>158722098
But his plan is exactly making America great again. Did you even pay attention to his dialogue? Space flight was mentioned to set to scale his nation's supposed capability by then. He doesn't simply want rockets, he wants to make the new world his, by him and for him, and he never acts like anything more than a businessman with more ambitions than bright ideas.

You can easily fix 3 by replacing some of the stupid choices (or simply dropping them all together)

>Caps as a currency
They don't use caps; they trade goods for other goods. There is so little agriculture and industry in DC, so trading goods would be the optimum solution because no one can get a monopoly on one product and/or inflate prices by producing more.
>Super mutants and Centaurs
Retcon out centaurs. Super Mutants from Vault 87 become ghouls who want to turn other people into ghouls. Vault 87 did have a bomb dropped on it, and the 4000 rads p/s entrance they drag people through can easily kickstart the ghoulification process.
>Brotherhood are good guys/don't act like BoS
It's almost fixed, but then Fallout 4 came along and ruined it. Simply have the Outcasts win the schism war.
>Aliens, Harold, Synths
Ignore that these exist and retcon them.
>>
>>158755671

>>
>>158755671
>They don't use caps; they trade goods for other goods.
This wouldn't make any sense.

The whole reason caps were made for Fallout 1 was because the devs didn't feel like people would understand a barter system.

Whats more, is that caps have many of the same qualities that gold does, which is why gold was used as a currency by cultures all across the world who had no contact with each other.

>Retcon out centaurs. Super Mutants from Vault 87 become ghouls who want to turn other people into ghouls.
That doesn't make sens as ghoulfication is reliant on a genetic X factor that no one has pinned down.

There is no realistic or reliable way to forcibly turn large numbers of people into ghouls.

>It's almost fixed, but then Fallout 4 came along and ruined it. Simply have the Outcasts win the schism war.

Caps were removed by the time Fallout 2 came around. Fallout 3 is set decades later, and on a totally different coast line. The chances of them using caps is very low. Not every in wasteland is going to be a carbon copy of what's around it. Honestly it just suggests bad writing that they couldn't think of another currency to give them.

>That doesn't make sens as ghoulfication is reliant on a genetic X factor that no one has pinned down.
True, which is why it wouldn't work for this renegade band of ghouls half the time. The whole process is weird and has never, as you said, been determined as to how exactly it works. You have people like Moira Brown who becomes a ghoul the second Megaton gets bombed, then you have people like Raul where it took years to transform.
>How did Fallout 4 ruin it by making the BoS more like they were in Fallout 1/2, and less like Lyons?
Bethesda copped out. They realised they fucked up and had to change it, but their reasons for change don't work. I can buy possibly the schism ending and both factions meshing together, but Maxson has basically turned the BoS into the Outcasts. The original band of Lyon loyalists wouldn't stand for it because the entire point of their war with the Outcasts has been thrown away. Now if Maxson had defected to the Outcasts and won the war for them, that would work, but he didn't. He is apparently loyal to Lyon's yet doesn't agree with his message/changes to the BoS.
>>
>>158756624
> The chances of them using caps is very low.
Actually the chances of them using it are very high.

Caps have low weight, easy to carry, have a long shelf life, are commonplace enough to be a viable currency, the means of making more is all but lost, meaning caps can never be devalued by someone introducing a million more into the market.

Caps have many of the same qualities gold does, which, as I stated before, is why gold was used worldwide by so many cultures who had no contact with each other.

Indeed, most scientists believe that if you reset humanity to square one, and let them redevelop all over again, we would pick gold as a currency again, because its just that good of one.

Caps are in the exact same situations.

>You have people like Moira Brown who becomes a ghoul the second Megaton gets bombed, then you have people like Raul where it took years to transform.
And you have people like searchlight who also transformed instantly.

Still, the entire ghoul idea is retarded.

>They realised they fucked up and had to change it
Except they didn't fuck up. What Lyons did is no different then why the MWBos founder got sent on a suicide mission in the first place.

>The original band of Lyon loyalists wouldn't stand for it because the entire point of their war with the Outcasts has been thrown away.
Did you PLAY Fallout 3 at all?

Everyone from Rothchild, Lyons right hand man, to his own daughter, tell you that even the people who follow Lyons don't really like what hes doing, and that most of them have sympathy to the Outcasts.

Only a few ever hated the Outcasts. And we see people like "The Scribe" who left Maxson.

>He is apparently loyal to Lyon's yet doesn't agree with his message/changes to the BoS.
Hes not Loyal to Lyons, Maxson shits over Lyons all the time in Fallout 4.

Everything you just said about the BoS in both Fallout 3 and 4 is wrong, objectively.
>>
>>158756624
The only reason bottle caps fell out in Fallout 2 was because the NCR took control and started minting their own money that became the new standard.

Instituting a standardized currency requires a governing body. With Bethesda, they couldn't write a good ruling power and just left everything in chaos, using a currency that didn't have the believably of bottle caps just wouldn't work.
>>
>>158757259
>Still, the entire ghoul idea is retarded.
If you mean the ghoulification process, then yeah, its not great. Replacing super mutants which ghouls is perfectly viable. You cannot justify having east coast super mutants.

>Everyone from Rothchild, Lyons right hand man, to his own daughter, tell you that even the people who follow Lyons don't really like what hes doing, and that most of them have sympathy to the Outcasts.
You forget that between 3 and 4, Sarah is killed. It's not explicitly referenced who killed her, but the general consensus is that it was the Outcasts, namely because it occurs during heated aggression between the two forces after Lyon's group removed the Enclave at the Adams air base. All sympathy would be lost if that was the case. Plus the long routed culture that would have been ingrained into the BoS, namely the whole "philanthropy" idea, would have made Lyons become more favourable over time.

>Hes not Loyal to Lyons, Maxson shits over Lyons all the time in Fallout 4.

I don't see why ammo casing wouldn't work to be fair. It's not as if there are any munitions factories in DC to devalue them.

Remove all the plagiarized shit from the originals. No Enclave, no BoS, no Super Mutants. If you still want to keep the desert wasteland aesthetic then have it set a few years after the war. And gut the story, make a new one altogether.
>>
>>158758110
>You cannot justify having east coast super mutants.
Sure you can. any scientific research group will tell you keeping all your development in one place only risks stagnation and self-creating limitations.

Having alternate FEV research labs across the nation is fairly basic procedure to make sure you can't loose all your research if one lab gets destroyed, and to ensure you don't get slef confirmation biases among the researches by having all of them in one lab.

>You forget that between 3 and 4, Sarah is killed. It's not explicitly referenced who killed her, but the general consensus is that it was the Outcasts.
I have never seen anyone say it was the Outcasts, and nothing in-game suggests it.

The most likely cause for Sarah's death is super mutants, since thats what the Lyon's Pride fought most of the time.

> Plus the long routed culture that would have been ingrained into the BoS, namely the whole "philanthropy" idea, would have made Lyons become more favourable over time.
Not really.

The BoS is a cult that has been trained for generations to follow a strict code of ideals.

No one in Lyon's BoS, besides Lyons himself, wanted to help people for the sake of helping people.

Though, its suggested in some places even Lyons isn't doing it for the sake of helping people, and only to get more recruits for his dying chapter.

And even then, the Outcasts still stuck with Lyons for 20 years of him doing this, and only left because Lyons refused to go to Fort Indipendance to look for tech.

That's all the Outcasts wanted, was to spend more time looking for tech. Which is exactly what Lyons started to do after the Enclave got defeated.

The Outcasts have no reason to NOT rejoin at that point, as that was the only reason why they elft
>>
>>158758110
>You cannot justify having east coast super mutants.
Yes you can.

Van Buren clarified the vault experiments a lot. They were all done under the command of the Enclave (Project Safehouse). What prevents the Enclave from setting up a FEV lab on the east coast to test a new strain of FEV? Admittedly, there's still a timeline inconsistency with Vault 87, but the concept itself is anything but retarded, the unfortunate thing being Bethesda didn't clarify anything on it.

Actually they do
A. There are more brahmin being raised for food in Fallout 3 then even NV

B. Rivet City grows fresh food in its hydroponic garden, which it trades with the wasteland settlements in exchange for scrap to fix the ship.

C. There are numerous randomly encountered hunting parties that can be found across the wasteland hunting everything from mirelurks, to yao guai, to mole rats, for meat.

D. Every major city has a water purifier, and we know they also brink brahmin milk

E. Theres a well established trade network going across most every major and minor town in the wasteland to transport goods between towns.

Benny is obviously a man of money and is dressed like a city boy. It's easy to infer he's going to the Strip. Once you get to Primm, you can confirm he has a serious lead on you, so it's hardly injustifiable to try and head him off at the Strip (maybe even trying to beat him there).

You guys are arguing over semantics, the main fact that makes f3 and f4 unfeasible is that the brotherhood shouldn't even be there.

1.) The Brotherhood - After the fall of the master the Brotherhood's numbers were depleting. They were split between ones that wanted to open to rest of the wasteland and ones that wanted to stay isolationist. The isolationists won and sent the others, on basically a suicide mission, to "investigate reports of super mutants in the Midwest". Then the enclave war happened, the Brotherhood only won because of help from the chosen one and the NCR. At this point the chapter should be completely drained of manpower and now have to deal with the expansionist NCR. So what did they do?? Did they finally decide to open up to the outside and get more recruits? Nope they decided it would be a good idea to send hundreds of their best soldiers and scientists on an expedition all the way across the entire continent and scout out dc for technology. This makes no feasible sense. Not only could they not afford it, it would be EXTREMELY risky, and would take YEARS for it to be remotely profitable. This would be like if the Greek city-state of Sparta decided to send their best scholars and soldiers to explore Finland right after they just fought a big war with Athens. It makes no sense, and reeks of poor writing on Bethesda part.

You do know that in real life history some tribes did successfully migrate thousands of kilometres pretty much on a whim, right? Now, everything that Beth did to BoS is fucking stupid, but them packing and leaving rather than dealing with an enemy they couldn't possibly hope to defeat is actually realistic.
>>
>>158784539
The BoS never actually fought the Enclave in a war though.

During Fallout 2, they stayed out of it because they knew there was zero chance of winning.

they only attacked the Enclave AFTER Fallout 2 ended, and the Chosen One had destroyed 90% of the Enclave's forces by nuking the Oil Rig.

After that, all the BoS did was kill stragglers alongside the NCR.

The only known attack that was even rmeotly major was the BoS and NCR attacking Navarro, which was never a large base, and would have been drained of resource since the rig was gone and most of the enclave had fucked off to Raven Rock
>>
I need to say this.

Lore can and should be retconned if a better story can be drawn by changing it. Lazy shit like not looking things up for consistency, and then trying to excuse it, that's bad form.

But when people go 'oh you can't have a game there that place is a wasteland nothing will ever happen there stop writing now' I want to shake them like a coke fiend terrible mother shakes her trailer trash babies until they stop saying such clearly lore-restricting concepts. ESPECIALLY if the objection is from the implications and not actual lore.

2.) The Enclave, Vaults, Raven Rock, and FEV - The wiki states, "Raven Rock is powered by a General Atomics nuclear reactor and gets its fresh water from deep underground wells and a miniature purifier similar to those of other Vaults. Furthermore, it has manufacturing capabilities able to produce Vertibirds, power armor and weapons. This combined with a significant defensive robotic army probably made Raven Rock the second most powerful Enclave outpost" Also it has an advanced A.I. So why on earth would the enclave choose the Oil Rig as their main base?

The Vaults were purposefully created to fail so the enclave could use them as controlled tests for their planned colonization of another planet. So the enclave would be aware of all the vault experiments, and monitoring them. This is strange because in fallout 2 the first contact the enclave has with FEV is within the mariposa military base. It takes them completely by surprise and many people die excavating it and sealing it back up. If vault 87 has been a big test of FEV shouldn't the enclave be aware of what it is and what it does? Why don't they just fly over to DC and get some FEV from vault 87 instead of fighting the NCR and brotherhood in a land war?

>>158785108

tribes migrate over centuries with each generation moving little at a time. no african tribe moved from egypt to denmark in one generation.

Sure it does, they were never as weakened as you claimed they were.

>So why on earth would the enclave choose the Oil Rig as their main base?

>The Vaults were purposefully created to fail so the enclave could use them as controlled tests for their planned colonization of another planet.
This is 100% noncanon.

No canon lore has suggested the Enclave wanted to colonize another planet. Cut content is cut content.

>Why don't they just fly over to DC and get some FEV from vault 87 instead of fighting the NCR and brotherhood in a land war?
Because Vertibirds have a limited range of only 200-300 miles before they need to be refueled, and there weren't refueling stations all across the nation to getthem to D.C.

Same reason Autumn's father had to walk to D.C. with the other Enclave survivors.

Tribal paint and shards of tanks adorn their powerful green, yellow and black bodies, growling and snarling at the meat before them.
You grab for your scribe's pistol to fight, but you are without your arms. You stare back towards the horde, as a Mutant holding a box comes before you, and places it in front of you. He carefully opens the tattered box, to reveal... a record player. He grunts at you, pointing with massive scarred finger, to a tiny switch to turn it on. Is it a ritual? A game? A tortured
The mutant noises grow, now chuckling sickly and menacingly, so in fear, and finality, you press the button, just wanting it all to end.

When was the last time you played F2? Richardson mentions colonisation of another planet as a consideration in case Earth turned out to be fucked irreversibly. They fully intended to resettle North America and abandoning Earth wasn't an actual plan and it wouldn't have been until the Enclave exhausted all other possibilities, which is precisely what they were working on in F2, but it was there, as canon as anything else. Now, the idea of conducting crazy social experiments on vaulters is stupid, especially given the Enclave's agenda, but it is, too, F2 canon.

No it didnt, where are you pulling this shit from?

also Eden was not an AI originally, he was just a ZAX. He only developed into an AI years after the war.

Raven Rock is a well known real world government bunker.

>its non confirmed, not noncanon.
No, its simply NOT canon because its never been mentioned in any canon source

>also doesn't explain why they didn't know about the FEV in f2.
Avellone explains this in the Fallout bible, while the FEV may have been an Enclave project, it may not have been known to the people in the enclave who actually survived the war.
>>
I know I'm going to sound like "I'm so smart because I'm not taking any sides in that argument" person, but I think you're missing the problem here. It's not even about supermutants being on East Coast contradicting established lore. Like, who cares about lore? It's about Bethesda devolving them into huge stupid always aggressive orcs for player to kill. Compare with New Vegas, where they're persons, sometimes aggressive, sometimes tragic. They're people fucked over by genetic experiments. Some are shitty people, sure, but they are more than what FO3 muties are.

the purpose of the vaults was to be an experiment that they would monitor while they wait for the radiation levels to lower.
they would have had someway to monitor the vaults or else the experiments would be useless. they only decided to use fev after they changed their mind on space colonization. so if they were following logic they would have traveled east to get fev rather than reveal themselves to the world. also john Henry Eden was an adviser to Richardson so he could have told them about vault 87 anyway.
>>

And when Bethesda tries to write a friendly supermutant it's either the blandest person ever like Fawkes, who is decidedly completely unlike every other super mutant of the Capital Wasteland, or Strong, whose story is a fucking joke.
>>
>>158790484
Whats funny is that Fallout 3 shows this far better then New Vegas does specifically BECAUSE it makes them all into mindless "orcs"

Everyone knows super mutants were people, what makes it tragic is that they were forcibly mutated in such a way, and experienced such sheer pain, that it drove them to literal inanity, and near mindlessness.

They were forcibly stripped of ALL their humanity, against their will.

West Coast Super Mutants remain basically the exact same, and are less sympathetic because their transformation is near universally a positive, whereas the East Coast ones have a near universally negative transformation.

At the end of Fallout 1 the BoS was on good terms with the NCR, and, in fact, were directly responsible for jump starting the NCR's technology.

Up until the start of the war the BoS and NCr were best buds.

>the purpose of the vaults was to be an experiment that they would monitor while they wait for the radiation levels to lower.
Yes
>they would have had someway to monitor the vaults or else the experiments would be useless.
Yes, aka the PosideoNet

> they only decided to use fev after they changed their mind on space colonization. so if they were following logic they would have traveled east to get fev rather than reveal themselves to the world.
No. you are treating the Enclave like its one massive single minded faction. The Enclave started out as nothing more then a collection of American politicians, each with their own secrets.

Some worked on FEV, while others had the vault program.

The ones on the Oil rig didn't know about FEv, and thus, would have no reason to go after it.

That does not however change the fact members of the Enclave set up the FEV program before the war in the first place.

In short, your entire argument is based on an idiotic simplification of what the enclave is and was.

Lily is losing every piece of her humanity.
Dog/God are at constant war with each other
Tabitha is a drove Black Mountain to ruin partially because her schizophrenia and grief over Rhonda drove her to it.

Davison and Keene are somewhat ok. Davison's second personality is actually more sane and reasonable than he is. Keene is violent, but he is reasonable and relatively sane.

Firstly you are ignoring the fact that an expedition all the way across the country when you are still discovering the rest of California is the dumbest idea imaginable

Secondly, Eden was connected to ALL enclave bases from raven rock including the oil rig. It says on the wiki he was even an adviser to president Richardson. If the enclave are aware of the vaults and they have Eden to connect them across the country how would Richardson not be aware of the fev and vault 87?

Or just people who have no other means to get by. I'd imagine a lot of Fiends were once orphans, illegitimate children, runaways, kidnapped teens, former khans, and so on. People who can't find work who get groomed by the Fiends into being addicted cannon fodder.

It would've been interesting to meet a former fiend in NV and hear them talk more about the way their gang operates.

It always pains me to see raiders defended by Nuka World and raider terminals/raiders talking within each other.

Okay cool, you can hear them have conversations when you sneak up on them and you can get some kind of idea of their raider groups in terminals, but at the end of the day your personal interaction with them is killing them.

What's the point of even getting to know anything about them.
>>
>>158793016
Yeah, no. NCR Army is at a stalemate to the point where they need PC to deal with Fiend leaders. Rangers? One ranger who tried it got fucked over in the Vault. House's robots don't venture outside except for Victor. Yes, I know they wipe Fiends out in one ending, but that's AFTER the upgrade. Before, they don't interfere. First Recon lady got literally raped. Of course, Courier has no problems with Fiends because he's the fucking Courier, he can walk into The Fort or McCarran and kill everyone, but for everyone else they're a huge army that is armed with everything from pool cues to advanced energy weapons. A force to be reckoned with.

Except its not when Liberty Prime, the greatest weapon ever made, is over there.

Also, part of Lyon's mission was to make contact with the MWBoS and bring them back under Lost hills command, which meant he had to walk most of the way across the country anyways.

>Secondly, Eden was connected to ALL enclave bases from raven rock including the oil rig.
He was not. He was inserted to help faciltie communications across pre-war government bunkers. HE was NOT designed by the Enclave, or for The Enclave's use.

> It says on the wiki he was even an adviser to president Richardson.
This is 100% pure fanfiction never mentioned in the game itself.

>. If the enclave are aware of the vaults and they have Eden to connect them across the country how would Richardson not be aware of the fev and vault 87?
Because the information you are using is stuff made up by the wiki.

1. Eden was not made by The Enclave
2. Eden does not have access too all Enclave bases
3. Eden did not have access to the Vault network
4. Eden did not achieve AI statues until after the war, and only purely on accident
5. Eden was never an advisor to Richardson.

Maybe if you played the game you wouldn't be so confused

>>158792087
Hey Todd if you could bring back the Enclave again instead of making something new that would be pretty sweet.

Also if I could bring an idea to your attention. In Fallout 3, you find your dad, and in Fallout 4 you find your son. How about in Fallout 3 you can play as either a guy or a girl finding their sibling? Maybe in the beginning you can see both of your parents get killed and your sibling gets taken away. Also your sibling becomes a super science and then you join them on a quest to save the world.

I love how you did the factions, it was great how I instantly became a very high ranking/leader of any faction. It blew me away at how much choice you gave me. You're a fucking genius Todd.

See, when you bring up a plot about finding yourself spiritually, it sounds very exciting and that kind of plot brings Planescape Torment to mind.

But then I think about the reality and it makes me think of forcing you even further into a single role, and how Bethesda would make it even more streamlined. Voiced character, predetermined role, pretty much Fallout 4 but worse.
>>
>>158793336
Everything that you said about the Fiends also applies to the Khans, and the Khans are a much, much, much, much, much better option for anyone who's just lost in life as opposed to being a crazy raider who won't mind if he doesn't wake up tomorrow morning who looks for a raiding party. There is just no reason for anyone who isn't a bloodthirsty sociopath to go to the Fiends instead of the Khans, and then there are the Followers and the west side commune which are the real first option for anyone who isn't already a raider.
>>
>>158793712
> NCR Army is at a stalemate
Yes, and that's ridiculous. They are a professional army acting against literal drug fiends who, not counting some looted energy weapons and firearms, use pool cues and golf sticks as weapons. The Fiends are repeatedly described as being expendable and rushing into battle with no regards to their odds of survival. I'd understand it if the conflict started just a couple of months before the beginning of the game and the Fiends were at the height of their power, maybe getting Vault 3 population chem fiends after spreading Psycho in vault vents or something, but that isn't the case.
> One ranger who tried it got fucked over in the Vault.
That ranger explicitly mentioned that he managed to kill twenty of them before one got a drop on him, and then the Fiends just pretty much forgot that he was still in the fucking vault with them. You're not helping your case by mentioning this.
> First Recon lady got literally raped.
By the toughest Fiends there is. She otherwise speaks of the Fiends as being cannon fodder almost not worth wasting bullets on.
> they're a huge army
Again, you're ignoring my point: how come there are so many of them? There is no logical reason for a huge army to just form on its own in unfriendly conditions: the Fiends are a downtown Vegas phenomenon, with other places in the Mojave simply not having the population to provide recruits. There are more Fiends in the city of Vegas alone than there people living in Goodsprings, Novac, Primm and west side combined; sure, settlements in video games may be more populous than they appear, but my point stands, especially given how the Fiends aren't even the only raider group in north-western Mojave, to the point of not being the only major one. Bad infrastructure and everywhere not having enough people is a constant problem for the NCR, but it somehow doesn't apply to the Fiends specifically and to raiders in general? That just doesn't make sense.

>yes an isolationist cult of army deserters in California are aware of a secret military super weapon.
Play Fallout 3, and hell, Fallout 4, Liberty Primes development had been leaked to the public before the war.

>yea and they didn't find anything, which should be telling of how well these long expectations end.
Actually they did. The MwBoS told them to fuck off.

Rothchild mentions there being a rouge chapter of BoS in Chicago, and talks about them as if he has knowledge of their current status, something he only could have if they met.

>they flew with jury rigged airships halfway, walking would be even more unfeasible.
Uhh no. the MwBoS did, but Autumn's father and Lyons walked the whole trip.

>don't even get me started about how they would fuel their power armor.
Power armor fuel lasts for over 100 years.

Unless you are one of those idiots who thinks Fallout 4's gameplay mechanics are canon.

Khans initiation ritual is pretty brutal, plus they're mostly famous by being fucked over by NCR nowadays.

>>158796057
>Yes, and that's ridiculous.
No it's not. They could've wiped out the Fiends, but that would lead to lots of casualties (especially when you consider attacking the Vault which has more heavily armed Fiends in a defensive position), waste of manpower and ammo. The Mojave isn't NCR territory yet, and the brass doesn't want to waste resources when the main enemy force is the Legion.
>That ranger explicitly mentioned that he managed to kill twenty of them
Fiends outnumber rangers by more than 20 to one.
>settlements in video games may be more populous than they appear
They are by a huge factor, actually. The NCR in FO2 has like 5000 citizens canon-wise and you meet what, 100? Freeside is pretty big and lots of people live there and in the outside Vegas. Obviously in the game it's much smaller.
>not having enough people is a constant problem for the NCR
NCR has to fight Legion, that's what they're lacking people for in Mojave, fighting a huge army. Fiends don't have to fight the Legion. They throw themselves on NCR forces when they can and usually get killed, but otherwise I imagine they, well, raid the outskirts of Vegas, Freeside etc.

You keep missing the point so persistently, I'm starting to think you're doing it on purpose. This argument is me asking why the game makes the Fiends so numerous and you replying that that's because the game made the Fiends exactly this numerous. If you don't have an actual response, don't waste my time.

Fiends are numerous because the lore-wise Mojave is a pretty well-populated place (almost no nukes hit it thanks to House) and their infamy spread wide enough. You see more Fiends than unnamed generic citizen NPCs because the former are important for gameplay, and the latter aren't.

Trying to find explanations in New Vegas is basically impossible.

>The people of Vegas had an intact city, an a perfectly clean water supply, and yet managed to accomplish literally nothing in 200 years, despite the fact both the east and west coasts got nuked far harder, and rebuilt faster

>None of the towns south of Vegas(Goodsprings, Nipton, Novac) have any sort of backstory or history. No explanations as to where these people came from.

>To make matters worse, all of these towns, sans Goodsprings, are 100% reliant on the NCR's trade for food, despite the fact the NCR only showed up in the mojave region 7 years ago, with no explanation as to what they did for food before. These towns, sans Goodsprings, also have no farms, or remnants of farms, leaving where they got food an even bigger mystery.

>House wakes up from his coma years before even Shady is founded, but decides to do nothing for the better part of 200 years for reasons unexplained.

>Novac, Nipton, and Primm's main source of water is local water towers, whose water is irradited, and who lack any seen or mentioned water purification machines. Which means that in 200 years time, no one thought to make an automatic water purifier, and these idiots were filtering their water through dirt every time they needed a glass.

okay Eden had no contact with the oil rig then...

Image you are senior scientist Autumn, everyone is panicking, the base is gonna blow. NCR is assaulting Navarro. Then you get a message out of the blue, its some random guy saying he is the new president and that you should pack up everything and fly all the way around the entire country and come live with him in his top secret military base. You wouldn't think that maybe its a pre war recording on loop, maybe is some loon with a radio in Canada, or it could even be NCR tying to lure you in a trap? No? You would just go OK random stranger im gonna go fly off into the unknown because you know what you are talking about!

Now imagine you are a elder in the brotherhood of steel...

you control the underground bunker of lost hills, you just fought two wars with a super mutant army and an army of prewar elite soldiers with vertibirds and power armor. you've sent a good chunk of your staff to Chicago because they disagreed with you. and now you have a new faction expanding at a rapid pace getting closer to your borders everyday. a faction thats ideology is completely unaligned with your own. would you finally open up to the outside and increase your influence and recruits? would you move to a safer location? no? you would split your faction again and send hundreds of scientists and soldiers on a journey into unscouted unknown regions in search of more tech and a giant robot that may or may not still exist, while also starting a war with said larger faction right on your border?

Also those towns are not reliant on specifically NCR trade, just general trade that was in the region even before NCR. Novac is built next to a very popular road, for example.

>okay Eden had no contact with the oil rig then...
From what we are told, the Oil Rig had already blown up, and the people evacuated, before Eden contacted them.

At that point, the Enclave's demoralized, and on the brink of collapse, when suddenly, someone with advanced technology, and knowledge of the Enclave's existence/goals/operations, cited chain of command, and tells you to come to his super awesome base full of tech so you can rebuild.

Autumn Senior did what he had to prevent the Enclave from falling apart. Same reason neither he nor his son told anyone else Eden was a machine.

It was the desperate actions of a desperate man, trying to keep the Enclave alive.

Also,
A. The assault on Navarro only happened after they left.
B. The Enclave didn't fly, they walked.

>Now imagine you are a elder in the brotherhood of steel...
A. The BoS didn;t fight a war with the Encalve, we have already been over this. The BoS did nothing but watch the Enclave, since they knew they had no chance at beating them, which is why the BoS never actually attacks the Enclave in Fallout 2.

B. The NCR and BoS were allies, and the area around the Lost Hills Bunker had become a state in the NCR called "Maxson" before Fallout 2 began. The NCR and BoS were already living right next to each other long before Fallout 2 happened, and even longer before they went to war. They were friends the whole time. with the BoS even trading tech with the NCR.

C. Lyon's force wasn't in the hundreds. In was actually more like 100, at most. Most of Lyons forces we see in Fallout 3 are local recruits. the Actual BoS force sent east was that of a very small chapter, not hundreds of people.

In short, everything you have said is wrong.

Even what you said about Fallout 2 was wrong.

given that you have admitted to not playing Fallout 3 and 4, I can only assume you haven't played Fallout 2 either, given how little you seem to know of it.

Probably an oversight, as if you drink from Lake Mead or Colorado River, the water is clean. It's pretty hard to imagine where they would take so much irradiated water in the first place.

Oh, and by the way, if Vegas barely got hit, then there should have been people with knowledge of pre-War tech surviving on the surface without degenerating into tribals, or they at the very least should have had a much easier time rebuilding, given how much integrity city infrastructure retained.

Well, now that I think of it, having a free army that is much stronger than any and all of its possible enemies for decades after the war that doesn't require food or water or training and has its electricity demands covered is pretty useless if they can only travel across half the Clark county. Becoming a degenerate raider is a better idea in the long term,
> Arroyo was founded by ex-Vault Dwellers and degenerated to tribals in a couple of generations.
And that never made sense, no matter how many times you repeat "stylistic choice".
> I guess Vegas wasn't really an industrial center to begin with.
Yeah, well, it only had hundred of thousands to two millions of inhabitants, it's not like their population would still be the biggest remaining in post-apocalyptic America, and it's doubtful that there was a single professional among them, especially given that only people without any kind of professional skills come to Vegas. The NCR is completely unique in its goal of rebuilding civilisation, and so people of Vegas couldn't possibly have come to think of that and as the result all just died out because they were so inept they just stopped breathing too, I guess.

Correct, the NCR destroyed them. AKA the brotherhood gets the shit kicked out of them in the war. Even more of a reason to not sent a full army of soldiers on a retarded fetch quest halfway across the world.

NCR brotherhood relations where not as peachy as you say they were, it got to the point where brotherhood would just shoot any ncr roaming near them.

When were the BoS ever sensible?

They are a militaristic tech cult with a hardon for collecting technology, and D.C. had the biggest cache of technology they knew of.

Not to mention, sending Lyons west is a great way to try to bring the MWBoS back under Lost hills control, which would have greatly boosted their power and tech horde.

Its literally a win win for a faction that had no enemies at the time.

House isn't all of Vegas. I remind you that the city itself was mostly shielded from harm, which means many more survivors than any other city had. Where did they all go?

yes really, one squad wouldn't be able to do anything but the larger group that left would. you underestimate the bond soldiers share. you would rather be dead then run away to safety. the thought that you ran away when they fought and died would haunt you the rest of your fucking life. the nv remnants are still bitter and don't hesitate to pick up their guns and fight again even though that are too old.

So you are saying that in 200 years, no one decided it would be a smart move to develop water purification machines to make the process easier?

Man, you must think the people of the Mojave are pants on head retarded.

>Even the staunchest FO3 apologists will say that the only reason for Water Purifier was to purify the entirety of the Capital Wasteland area.
Actually it wasn't.

They even tell you in Fallout 3 Project Purity can only purify the Tidal basin, which is the large pool in front of the purifier. Its cannot purify the whole river, nor does it try.

I'm not the anon who made the other shit you put i nthat post, so I will leave it up to him to answer all your responses about the strip.

>They even tell you in Fallout 3 Project Purity can only purify the Tidal basin
Baisn, whatever, it's for mass purification, which is not necessary in Mojave where the largest body of water is pure.

Your entire argument is based on these dumb assumptions.

>they don't need more tech they need more bodies.
Which they had no need for at the time.

>they dont know what happened to MWBoS they could be all dead for all they know its a shot in the dark.
No, Scribe Rothchild specifically states in Fallout 3 there is an active branch of the BoS in Chicago.

Scribe Jameson I think it was also mentions the BoS has been fighting super mutants for ages "first out west, then in Chicago, now here"

The MWBoS lost all contact with the west when the airships crashed. The only way she could know about their war with the super mutants is if they found them.

Also, Caeser mentions in New Vegas that he captured BoS scribes further east that don't know the name Maxson.

The only BoS directly east of Caesar is the MWBoS, and Caesar has only been doing his thing for 20 years, showing they are still around.

In short, again, you have no idea about anything in any of these games it seems.
>>
>>158805089
>A huge ones that require a working GECK to function?
No, even basic ones like the ones Megaton, or Rivet city have. Ones that don't need a GECK.

No one is going to walk 100+ miles to the lake every time they need a glass of water, nor is sifting it through dirt every time particularly enjoyable.

Someone SHOULD have made a small town sized water purifier at some point in the last 200 years.

You know, like everyone else on both the east and west coasts did?

I don't remember water purifiers in 1 or 2 and I never played 3. Wait, if every city in 3 has a local water purifier, why was Project Purity even a thing? To make nature recover or something? Then why was it so important for the Enclave?

>Except that he had the biggest remaining city in the world in his grasp.

Well, it wasn't an industrial city, though there are a few factories around. At least one of them has killer robots, though. Wear your badge, or else.

>Come back after you survive getting shot with a 9mm SMG.
But I did, multiple times. Gotta love that DT, baby.
>>
>>158805802
>Wait, if every city in 3 has a local water purifier, why was Project Purity even a thing?
Because the D.C. are ahd pervasive radiation that made large scale water purification impossible.

Even in towns like Megaton, only people who owned their own homes were able to get clean water. The common "Megaton citizen" wasn't given any, and they had to buy what little excess the town had.

This in turn made things like farming impossible, because no one could generate enough clean water.

Project Purity existed to purify million of gallons of water daily, ending these restrictions, and making things like farming possible.

>Then why was it so important for the Enclave?
John Henry Eden needed it to distribute his modified form of FEV, so he could kill all muties.

Augustus autumn wanted the purifier to use it as a rallying tool to get the people of the wasteland on his side, so he could make an ew Enclave led nation, as he disagreed with Eden over the use of FEV.

The BoS doesn't want to fucking die, they would consider every possibility including war with NCR.

Well, duh Caeser is way closer to the MWBoS then westcoast BoS is...what is your point?

Why would they when so far they had gotten along perfectly?

You just assume everyone is out to get everyone else like some paranoid conspiracy theories.

I never said they did.

Yes, and like I said, it was highly limited to the point only the few people who owned their own homes could get clean water.

Radiation that isn't easily removed for any number of reasons.

That would be painful. And require a gun. And I don't have one, so.

>Radiation that isn't easily removed for any number of reasons.
Reasons like?
>>
>>158807271
>and does something one can do at home with a relatively simple filter?
Because
A. Such filters don't exist in the C.W.
B. All the soil is irradiated also, meaning they can't filter it that way either
Those machines are literally the only way they can get clean water.

>Reasons like?
Same reasons radiation turns humans into ghouls, and animals into giant versions of themselves.

Fallout is based on 1950's B-movie tropes, and atomic scare paranoia.
>>
>>158807579
So how they made the machines if they don't have filters? That sounds very plot-devicey.

It is a plot device.

Avellone himself has said, before Fallout 3 even came out, that the GECK is literally nothing more then a mcguffing plot device that can be used any way a future dev wants.

They have ways to prufiy small amounts of water, but can't do so in large quantities because

You do realize fallout is based off of the real world, right? and in the real world countries and factions think before they act right? maybe there is a reason the Romans weren't colonizing Denmark while tensions where rising with Carthage?

>2. How was the Brotherhood of Steel involved with NCR after the destruction of the Enclave?
>Unknown. Presumably, they'd already established some level of co-existence with NCR even before the events of F1, judging by one of the states of NCR being dubbed "Maxson" (more on that in a future update except to say that the Lost Hills Bunker was NOT turned into a town in NCR) and considering their pre-existing ties to the Hub, which became a state by the time of F2. I've always imagined that NCR and BOS have maintained an uneasy truce, with barter and (some) technology sharing between the two groups.

>did you forget that they did in fact go to war?
Which was only far later, a rather sudden for both sides.

>Oh i didn't know the West coast BoS had access to Caesar's scouting reports...
Never said they did. However, knowledge of the MWBoS wouldn't be that uncommon.

Cross country travel isn't that difficult

Both Lyons and Autumn made it across the nation, west to east, in less then a year.

On the other hand, ultrajet, the Wasteland Survival Guide, and Ed-E, all made it from the East Coast to the Mojave in under 4 years.

a little bit of trade and an UNEASY truce is exactly what I was talking about. They never trusted each other. Not enough to expose yourself and give them a chance to attack.

>"By 2231, Jeremy Maxson had assumed the position of Brotherhood High Elder. In addition to wanting to expand Brotherhood operations eastward, he was much more aggressive in his "hoarding" of pre-War technology. He wanted to restore the power of the Brotherhood by wresting all advanced tech from the hands of "lesser people" by any means necessary. Naturally, this led to disputes with the NCR, which had always been in favor of using advanced technology for the benefit of society"

This is an intentional deliberate objective with a strategy behind it, nothing sudden about it.

>Cross country travel isn't that difficult

All of this is made canon by Bethesda, my whole point is this isn't logical. it wouldn't be easy. It would be very very difficult.

If the brotherhood wanted to travel from California to dc they would have to first go through new Vegas, why didn't they find any securitrons, or any of house's tech when they traveled through? they would have stopped right there las vegas was a jackpot. After vegas they would have to go though utah, very rocky mountainous and hot. not to good with power amour. also its infested with white legs, and 80s so constant raids from them is to be expected. Then Colorado, which was Caesar's land and beyond that more of the same. It would be a nightmare.
>>
>>158810709
>this was before the NCR was even a thing, they where still shady sands
Did you miss the point about the BoS giving out tech and becoming a large development house in southern California?

There is a reason why one of the NCR's founding states is the state of Maxson.

>This is an intentional deliberate objective with a strategy behind it, nothing sudden about it.
What you quoted is 100% non canon material from the cancelled Van Buren game.

>All of this is made canon by Bethesda
Not really. Micro Forte had the MWBoS traveling across most of the Midwest in the less then 1 years time.

>my whole point is this isn't logical. it wouldn't be easy. It would be very very difficult.
Why exactly? Its been nearly 200 years, most of the lands would have been tamed to some degree unless they had a force like The Institute actively sabotaging them.

>f the brotherhood wanted to travel from California to dc they would have to first go through new Vegas, why didn't they find any securitrons, or any of house's tech when they traveled through?
Because House was holled up in his tower at the time. the Securotons only came out of his tower for the first time 7 years before New Vegas began, over a decade after Lyons passed through the area.

>they would have stopped right there las vegas was a jackpot
Except it wasn't. Vegas had no high tech anything of its own.

>After vegas they would have to go though utah, very rocky mountainous and hot. not to good with power amour. also its infested with white legs, and 80s so constant raids from them is to be expected.
A. The White Legs at the time were nothing but primitive tribal. If you recall from Lonesome Road, they only got all thier weapons after Ulysses showed them how to break into an armory.

Also, the 80's are in entirely different part of Utah then the part they would have had to cross through. The 80's are up near the Great Salt Lake, not down near the highway.

Also false.

20 years ago, Caesar only controlled the south west corner of colorado. It wasn't until the loss at Hoover Dam, and the recruitment of Lanius afterwards, that Caesa'r took all of Colorado.

>and beyond that more of the same.
ALSO false.

the Midwestern BoS has controlled everything from the eastern edge of Colorado all the way to Illinois for decades by the time Lyons went through it.

He would have an incredibly safe trip from Colorado to eastern Indiana, where the MWBoS territory ends.

And from there its just a relatively short jaunt across Ohio before he reaches Pennsylvania, and the eats coast trade routes.

So, again, you have no idea what you are talking about

Those are water cisterns hooked up to the pipe system that the NCR fixed and that directly pull water from the lake.

>>158812260
You missed the lower part of the picture. The water in the cistern is pure, but water directly below it, water that logically came from the valve, is irradiated. Either it's canon that water can get irradiated just because, oh, well, an oversight.

Ever heard of the Zulu, or maybe the Taliban? IEDs, grenades from above in places the BoS could not reached, snipers, traps, dead ends, canyons, ambushes? Ring any bells? BoS's high tech is a lucrative haul for any tribals.

>20 years ago, Caesar only controlled the south west corner of colorado

Yes, however, that does not mean shit about the NCR/BoS war mentioned in Van Buren, but not in New Vegas, was made canon.

All that was made canon was the NCR/BoS going to war, that's it.

Everything you quoted is still non-canon.

>in airships
No, the airships crashed before the game began. In the game itself, they went from Chicago Illinois to Colorado on foot, in less then 1 year.

>They wouldn't have walked through the strip? they wouldn't have searched the lucky 38?
There was nothing in the strip at the time, and the Lucy 38 was sealed up, with no obvious signs of high technology.

remember, Vegas the city was only made 7 years before New Vegas began, which was over a decade after Lyons left.

>Robot army underneath the lucky 38 and a hibernating 200 year old man isnt high tech?
They had no knowledge of either, nor any way to detect either.

The BoS are not physics.

>IEDs, grenades from above in places the BoS could not reached, snipers, traps, dead ends, canyons, ambushes?
False comparison
A. As we hear from Caesar, none of the time had that sort of thing, or even knew those kind of Tactics
B. The BoS are in Power armor

>he didnt have scouts? what about the tribals in Colorado that he hasn't conquered yet?
Caesar's scouts wouldn't have had anywhere near the level of arms they have now

okay you are right

This still doesn't explain why they would embark on such a large operation especially considering the BoS's diplomatic and military situation in 2254. the amount of time it would take for the journey to result in profit for the west coast BoS is to great for the situation they where in.

A. That's not how canon works, period. Something is only canon when its directly stated in-game, or by the devs. Bethesda used elements of the Fallout Bible in Fallout 3, that does not make everything the Bible says canon however. It only makes those specific elements canon, and even then, only the specific elements used, with everything else in that element that wasn't used non-canon. That is how canon works for every series in existence. You do not get to change the rules.

B. In Fallout 3, in the Citadel, there is a terminal that lists the relatives of the Maxson line. and it makes zero mention of a "Jeremy Maxson" Jeremy Maxson is literally not canon.

>conquering land from an established base is completely different than travelling in a big caravan
Not really. the same issues of supply lines still apply.

>A large sealed shut door blocking entrance into the lucky 38, when all other casinos are blown open. How is this not a sign of something more?
Because its a CASINO. what high tech junk is there to find in a normal casino? Nothing

And, again, the BoS are not psychics, they had no reason to believe that one casino had any more high tech garbage then any other casino would have.

>This still doesn't explain why they would embark on such a large operation especially considering the BoS's diplomatic and military situation in 2254.
You mean the one were they were at peace with the NCR, with no obvious upcoming war?

> the amount of time it would take for the journey to result in profit for the west coast BoS is to great for the situation they where in.
Not really, they could go there and come back with lots of stuff in less then 10 years.

1 year to walk there, 1 year to walk back, and 7-8 years of hoarding

The only justification I can think of for this is that Bethesda thinks the armor is "iconic" like the Vault origin and BoS are and have seen fit to include it on the cover of every game.

okay im seeing what you are saying, for now i will admit that Lyon's trek is possible, if fallout was real life I would give it a solid 5% percent chance of happening because it isn't really a smart move, tactically. Definitely not the direction i would have taken with the story, but still possible.

the enclave soldiers IMO would not have just left their comrades behind and not seek any revenge on the NCR. but i guess it is possible they would be a bunch of spineless cowards and just leave their comrades behind. retarded but still possible.

yes yes well done anon well done, HOWEVER

the story within fallout 3 is still shit, and the fact that those two parts of the story are possible doesn't change that it is in fact still shit.

fuck me its late

I liked the original idea for FO2 cover more. Wouldn't make much sense though as tribals isn't even a major theme.

That PnP cover is bad ass though. Do you have it in higher res?

>>158817912
>the enclave soldiers IMO would not have just left their comrades behind and not seek any revenge on the NCR.
They didn't leave their comrades behind, those people chose to stay behind.

And seeking vengeance against an enemy you know you can't win against is stupid.

Even the BoS knew when they would get beat and stayed out of the Enclave's way.

Besides, what a better way to honor your fallen friend's memory?
A. A suicidal charge against an enemy you can't beat and that would achieve nothing
B. Going someone where, rebuilding, and keeping their dreams alive

Most people I know would say B

It's pretty clear though that the T-45 and T-60 take more inspiration from Fallout 1's T-51 than any other source.

My beef isn't that they put armor on the cover. It's that they aren't very creative when designing their cover armor. Compare to 2 and New Vegas, which use brand new designs.

It'd be like if every Dark Souls game had the Elite Knight armor on the box.

>>158818713
>It'd be like if every Dark Souls game had the Elite Knight armor on the box.
Ehh, I wouldn't say thats a fair comparison

Fallout 1 - Had T-51B, since it was the only PA
Fallout 2 - Had Enclave APA, since it was the new PA
Fallout Tactics - Had MwBoS PA, since it was the new PA
Fallout 3 - Had T-45 PA since it was the new PA
Fallout 4 - Had T-60 PA, since it was the new PA

New Vegas only had the ranger combat armor because it had no new PA types, and Ranger armor was the next biggest iconic armor.

A more fitting comparison would be
>Dark souls, if every one had whatever the newest "cool" armor in the new game on the cover

Okay, fuckboy, there's plenty of stupid shit in every single one of these games, but the existence and perseverance of communities that exist today, with the capability to be self-sufficient if they really needed to be, is not left 'unexplained'. It's self-evident why they endured, because they had already endured, and have the resources to continue doing so with minimal outside help if needed. Goodsprings exists, I have been there. Primm exists, I have spent long nights there. The existence and enduring, if ghostly, legacy of dozens of real-ass places in and around the Mojave is a critical part of New Vegas' sense of Place, and part of what makes the game stand out even when compared to the early Fallouts.
>>
>>158802584
It's crucial to note that while House did his best to guard the Mojave from nuclear attacks, he was by no means even close to 100% successful.

The direct impacts (I think at least three?) around the area would have been more than sufficient to cover the entire area with radiation. It would not have been some miraculous, casualty-free scenario, regardless of House's interference.

And if House gets too uppity about me fucking up the NCR, it's Yes Man time. Hope he doesn't because goddamn House is one of my favorite characters in this game.

>>
>>158844126
Y'know, now there is one thing that bothers me about Mr. House.

Namely, I think his claim that you should support his rule since Democracy is what brought them the apocalypse is kinda bullshit.

Considering that Mr House, or at least, RobCo was in cahoots with the Enclave (close enough that he was feasible sure about the incoming rockets, not to mention his plan being identical to one of their plans for humanity after the war), I am pretty sure he is straight up bullshitting you.

Why do you take every single word of a fucking business man for the golden truth?

Hell, look at Primm should you let the NCR take over: Taxed to death out of petty spite, over the crime of trying to overcome a band of bandits.

Democracy isn't even what triggered the apocalypse, jingoism compounded by resource scarcity is what caused it.

You don't go through Quarry Junction, that's dumb.

You either go through the backroad leading out of Goodsprings (heading right rather than left toward the Tribal Village), which means killing a few Cazadors (easy with a bit of prep at level 1). Quicker, but harder.

Or you head out onto the main road from Goodsprings (the normal route) then head toward Black Mountain (still sticking to the road, heading past Sloane), aiming for Neil's Shack, then sneaking between the main road (deathclaws) and the route up toward Black Mountain (super mutants), heading toward the spot where the dead NCR trooper was caught in a beartrap. Avoid the falling rocks, then head up the narrow passageway they rolled down, and keep moving in Vegas' direction. Easy peasy, but a longer route, and you need to be precise to avoid getting deathclawed/nightkinned.

Whats funny is that people forget most games do this shit

Like in one of the Gears of War games you ride on the back of this giant creature as it walks.

but, in reality, the creature is just standing still, moving its feet up and down, while the background moves like a old movie reel, to simulate like appearance of the creature moving.

Most mirrors in modern games are actually hacks also. They aren't real mirrors, but rather a portal into a small copy of the room they are supposed to be reflections. They aren't actual reflections at all.

Portal actually took this to the extreme, whenever you look through a portal, you are actually looking into a complete NEW copy of the room you are in. You don't move between two points in a room, you move between two copies of the room.

>To keep it short, a ray-caster engine functions by "shooting" rays from the game's viewport into a level's geometry. When the ray intersects with with a wall, it traces the distance the the wall and thereby deciding the size of the texture which needs to be shown on the screen. A mirror in the Build Engine, is just a wall flagged as a mirror, which sends incoming "rays" back in a new direction and thereby hitting a new wall. The total distance (length from viewport-to-mirror plus length from mirror-to-wall) is calculated and the corresponding texture is shown on the screen, thus creating the illusion of a mirror.

>In games made in the Build Engine, if a player encounters two walls opposite of each other both marked as mirrors, the game will never finish calculating the final distance, since the mirrors keeps sending the rays back and forth. The result: The game freezes.


>"Real" 3D engines (also known as rasterizers) such as id Tech 2, Unreal Engine etc. draws their images in an entirely different way, which makes it impossible to use the rather simple Build Engine method. In most cases, a mirror in a 3D engine (like in Max Payne or Condemned: Criminal Origins) is a smaller secondary viewport projected onto geometry as a texture. This is the same method used for creating the real-time image-in-image effects as seen in e.g. Half-Life 2 and Batman: Arkham Asylum, and taken to the extremes in Portal, where the projected viewpoint is a literal connection to the depicted area that the player is able to walk through. The additional viewports are often kept in a small resolution to increase performance, which is why they often are blurry or very small.

A fun fact is that Fallout 4 does something similar.

The TV with the news caster we see in the pre-war section is actually a portal to a room outside the normal map where the newscaster is an actual NPC speaking.

Similar to how all those Breencasts in Half Lfie 2 are just portals to a copy of Dr. Breen standing in a room outside the normal map
