Question
Why is this considered the 'bad' DLC?
just finished it and I must say, while it's not nearly as entertaining as OWB, it was still a whale of a time. It looked gorgeous, the quests were fun and the writing was some of the best I've ever seen anywhere.
Haven't gotten to DM or LR yet, but I hear they're also pretty great
Is that its biggest crime, that it just isn't as good as the other DLC's? or is it something else that makes it bad?

>>164413670
I gathered when you said Nevada Skies. I can't find it on the nexus so I can't judge it accordingly.

Lads what are some good survival mods that go with vicious wastes?

>T51b was alright in Fo3/NV because engine
>It's different engine
T-51b looks like shit in Fo3/NV.
T-51b looks like shit in Fo4.
Gamebryo was gamebryo and is gamebryo and will always be gamebryo.
>Because every power armor is big and stylish so it's hard to compete
>It's different engine
Just bethfags arguing nonsense.
Beth could not get it right in their first Fallout, they redid wrong in Fo4, differently somehow.

>"bad" DLC

According to who? I've never heard any complaints about it and I've never had any of my own.

>>164415538
Not him, but HH is generally considered the worst of NV's DLc, and only better then MZ and OA from Fallout 3 as well.

Its generally considered that the writing was weak as fuck, Daniel is a super pussy that doesn't make sense, the tribes were boring, and zion had no real substance to its locations.

could someone tell me how to install the ENBseries thing for new vegas?

>>164413803
In response to the "in order" thing, you're supposed to because of the order you're "supposed" to learn things. You confront Elijah and then go on to OWB and you're now aware of who the characters being referred to are, except for Ulysses who is mentioned but you don't meet until LR.

>>164415747
Read the directions. It's typically the file that literally says "Read Me". IIRC you use the wrapper version for NV.

>>164415538
>According to who?
Anyone with taste. It's a garbage 45min jaunt through bullshit exposition and item fetching in a super-boring crag of rock. it's only use was getting leveled up for Dead Money.

>>164415909
hmm ok, how do i know which one im supposed to download though?

>>164415692
I'd say the only Fallout 3 DLC that beats HH is Point Lookout, but that's only because Point Lookout is one of the best Bethesda-engine DLCs period.

HH wasn't very weak in my opinion. It's set in a wilderness area, so of course it's gonna be sparse. The tribes could've had more development, sure, but for what it was it was a nice excursion.

The only nitpick I'd have is with Graham. He's a cool character and all, but his deal in New Vegas was that he was a shitty tactician that failed Caesar entirely. Yet in HH he's made out to be some kind of warfare genius and a badass.

>>164416034

I think I fucked up royally. I installed my mods in a separate folder on my harddrive. MO2's default is on my SSD where I dont have enough space for 26 gigabytes of mods.

>>164416603
Not him but no, its said several times that Graham's problem was that he was entirely predictable in his attack pattern, and the NCR used that to lure him into a trap.

So, I'm kinda in an annoying place with my AntAgonizer rolplay. The one I was bugging people about ports to FO4 about.

I just finished to the Superhuman Gambit in FO3 and things were going smoothly... and this screen happened. Tell me that doesn't look like she just lost her right eye.

Losing that eye would explain why she doesn't use guns so much, relying on hand-to-hand and her superior strenght, traps, and stealth. Thing is, I'm a shallow son of a bitch, and I'm not sure if I'll decide I don't like playing a crippled character somewhere down the line, and I'm planning on taking her into or through Vegas.

I suppose I would have the Rad-Regeneration perk paired with the end of the MQ radiation blast regenerate the eye if I decide I don't like it, but... I don't know.

Would appreciate some input. I'm going to swap over to my Enclave playthrough for a few days while I think about it.

I cant get raider overhaul to work for some reason. Is it because I have the VIS valdachi compat patch? Well, when I say I cant get it to wrok Im not really sure, since the raiders look and play just the same as in vanilla

>>164418016
Remake Fallout 3 on the Fallout 4 engine and I'll stop playing Fallout 4.

>>164418043
Being able to walk away from a conversation isn't "ADHD" or any other term you want to use because you consider it bad.

All it does is show Bethesda is evolving and trying to make the RPG experience more immersive and realistic while Obsidian is still stuck in the past with wiki excerpts and exposition dumps in place of actual dialogue and interaction. You preferring that doesn't make you better than others who enjoy Bethesda' game design.

The CPG failed because the various settlement representatives fought among themselves.

The Institute got blamed for it because the synth was the last one standing when shit went down.

The Tute spent years trying to make the CPG work.

Existing Gen 3 synth stock undergoes complete overhaul to make closer to human. New iterations with biological immortality are scrapped completely.

Nothing to add to my considerations guys? I had a sort of 'ideal' about how I wanted things to go, how she would look with the cowl off, and missing an eye is a big character change.

That said, I can see how it might also be a good one, perhaps. I'm just not sure, and as I plan to stick with the character for literal years of playing, I want to be certain.

>>164417079

The best place to start would be to not fucking replace people with synths.

Seriously, they could do pretty much whatever they want in their own little space as long as they weren't fucking killing people and replacing them.

>>164419407
>They tend to try to manipulate people rather than work with them.
They only started doing that AFTER the CPG failed and everyone started blaming them for shit they didn't do.

And it was done as a reactionary measure in an attempt to preserve themselves from the overly hostile and paranoid wastelanders.

>>164419539
The Institute has only replaced like 4-5 people with synths.

Those being
-The Mayor
-That guy in Goodneighbor
-Roger Warwick
-Art

90% of the synths in the wasteland are the Railroad's fault.

>>164419739
Don't forget all of those settlers.
Things change when you don't include the most damning thing.

>>164419603
If nobody knew there would be a synth at the CPG they weren't really working with them.

>And it was done as a reactionary measure in an attempt to preserve themselves from the overly hostile and paranoid wastelanders.
By making them more paranoid and right?

>>164419739
There is also the holdout with the synth sidequest and synths as settlers which may have been replacements.

So this mod http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/20088/? (the mercenary - pack) has inside it a weapon called the sknife and an armor that makes it so you can carry that knife on your back. However i found the actual weapon in game on a couple of corpses and it is invisible. Anyone know where the texture is?

>>164419103
>>164419131
I was referring to the broken mask incident.

>>164419913
>If nobody knew there would be a synth at the CPG they weren't really working with them.
Except it was known there would be a synth working with them at the CPG.

The only synths they had during the fall of the CPG were Gen 1s, and The Institue was public and open about working with the CPG.

>By making them more paranoid and right?
No, by replacing key figures such as the mayor of Diamond city and using them to pass laws like the anti ghoul decree in order to keep the population of the wasteland too divided to be able to attack The Institute.

>>164419913
>There is also the holdout with the synth sidequest and synths as settlers which may have been replacements.
The what?

And synth settlers are not known to be replacements

>>164420138
The Broken Mask Incident happened decades after the fall of the CPG.

Everyone hated The Institute before the BMI, they just got more paranoid about The Institute replacing them after it.

>>164419180
Does MO have something that organizes the load order?

>>164420408
Yeah, there's a button on the left hand side of the plugin section.

>>164420516
Oh yeah, thank you

Regrowth is pretty nice, even though I need to tg every now and then just so I can see where all the bodies dropped.
And the occasional hovering tree.

>>164420235
>No, by replacing key figures such as the mayor of Diamond city and using them to pass laws like the anti ghoul decree in order to keep the population of the wasteland too divided to be able to attack The Institute.
That would be working against them in essence proving their suspicions right.

>The what?
The event where a settler is pointing a shotgun at an identical copy of himself.

If you pass a speech check with the copy he says he needs to kill the guy with the shotgun.

>>164420364
Should've clarified that I was referring to that because I had completely forgotten the CPG was even a thing.

>>164420761
That's Art, who was on the list already.

>>164420761
>That would be working against them in essence proving their suspicions right.
Which they only had to resort to becuase the wastelanders had already built such an elaborate conspiracy about The Institute being behind everything that The Institute actually had to become behind everything in order to prevent them from attacking.

>The event where a settler is pointing a shotgun at an identical copy of himself.
That was Art, who I already listed

>>164420890
>>164421064

>That's Art, who was on the list already.
My bad, there is also the problem with the list in that we can't tell which synths in the commonwealth had been replacing someone.

>>164421064
>Which they only had to resort to becuase the wastelanders had already built such an elaborate conspiracy about The Institute being behind everything that The Institute actually had to become behind everything in order to prevent them from attacking.

Wastelanders had no ability to attack the institute.

It seems like things had quieted down until the BMI. That created the replacement panic.

>>164421290
>Wastelanders had no ability to attack the institute.
Sure they did, we can see exactly how they could have in-game with the Minutemen.

Indeed, its even stated by several NPCs that the Minutemen actively fought The Institute back when they were in their prime.

>>164421414
>Sure they did, we can see exactly how they could have in-game with the Minutemen.
Didn't they need data from the institute to do that which was supplied by the SS.

Fighting off patrols on the surface isn't much of a threat.

>>164420516

>>164421926

>>164421781
Everyone and thier grandmother assumed(correctly) that The Institue was under CiT.

Really, while The SS made it easier, it wouldn't have been that hard to dig a hole large enough to reach the top layer of The Institute.

The BoS were only that in New Vegas

In Fallout 1, the BoS were a rather open group that were allied with The Hub, and worked with Shady Sands to reintroduce technology into the world after the fall of The Master.

In Fallout 2, they were the same way, but more disconnected fro mthe events since they had no bunkers in that region, and they didn't have the power to take on the Enclave.

The Pickman Gallery is named after a Lovecraft story called Pickman's Model which is about an artist n Boston's North end district who get kicked out of a local art group due to the terrifying things he draws, only for someone who vists his house to discover the monsters in his paintings are based on real creatures.

Pickman's Gallery in Fallout 4 is located in Boston's North End district as well.

The Cabot House is based on the Cabot Museum of History from Lovecraft's "Out of the Aeons" story. The Cabot Museum is located in an old private mansion in Boston's Beacon Hill district, and the curator of the museum is a man named Pickman(a reference to the Pickman's model story"

Likewise, the Cabot House in-game is located in Boston's beacon Hill district, and is just up the street from Pickman's gallery.

The pre-human "alien" species Jack Cabot talks about is a generic reference to many such elder god like entities that influenced early human society in Lovecraft mythos.

And the ruins that Lorenzo got his crazy crown thing from is a reference to the Nameless City from Lovecraft Mythos.

Jack Cabot, and the Parsons Asylum he runs, are a refrence to JAck Parsons, an American scientist known for his connection to the Occult, and occult figures like Aleister Crowley.

Aleister Crowley being referenced himself in Fallout 3 in the "Got to Shoot them in the Head" quest, where a Aleister Tenpenny, and a Mr Crowley are involved.

Yes, the canon ending for the BoS in Fallout 1 is
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_endings#Brotherhood_of_Steel
>The Brotherhood of Steel helps the other human outposts drive the mutant armies away with minimal loss of life, on both sides of the conflict. The advanced technology of the Brotherhood is slowly reintroduced into New California, with little disruption or chaos. The Brotherhood wisely remains out of the power structure, and becomes a major research and development house.

And after Fallout 2 they tossed that shit aside and went to war with the NCR ver control of technology.

>>164427386
Power Armor with increased sprint speed is unarguably better than the horse in skyrim ever was.

>>164427386
BEcuase the game map isn't built for it as car and shit require large areas of flat land to work proper,y and Fallout's landscape is anything but flat.

Though raiders do talk about motorcycles sometimes, and we see them working on them, and they know what motorcycles sound like, so we know they have them in working order.

>>164427395
Which makes no sense, since Shady Sands, the very place they helped build WAS the NCR. Maybe that little peice of data didn't survive Fallout 2's BoS purge.

>>164427395
After Fallout 2, Elijah became Elder. That alone should explain most of it. The war also started when he refused to give up HELIOS when the NCR wanted it as they started to get set up in the Mojave.

>>164427772
It actually makes sense if you consider that what they helped build was a group of farmers who knew how to use basic shit like water irrigation, some primitive generators, and shit like that, but the thing they went to war with was group that had captured Enclave level technology like power armor, vertibirds, and advanced laser/plasma weaponry.

Basically, they helped build Diamond city, but then got all pissy once they started crossing into BoS level territory.

>>164427913
No, the BoS/NCR was started back west, in California.

The Helios one shit happened AFTER the war had already been going on for some time.

>>164427913
>>164427772
>>164427395
What happened to the BoS is that all the progressive members got exiled between Fallout 1 and 2 on a suicide mission to hunt down super mutants in Chicago eventually forming the MWBoS

>>164428106
Oh right, yeah. Doesn't look like anything outside Helios had any actual details given, Van Buren aside.
>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.

>>164428004
Kinda sorta. The reasoning behind it is solid as to the motivation, but from a logistical standpoint it made no sense. That's why in 1 they never went out in full force to deal with the master.

If you're not born into the BoS chances are you're not getting in. They are a very limited number in personnel and finite in equipment. From a political perspective of shared history with the NCR and a military logistical perspective, war with the NCR is hardliner lunacy.

>>164428741
Well, as mentioned here
>>164428525
The BoS had exiled basically everyone who wasn't a hardliner during the events of Tactics.

With all this talk about the BoS lore and where they should have gone, where they went wrong. Why the fuck are we given House and the Institute to replace? Where is my "go and steal the institute technologies so we don't have to put human lives on the line anymore and as a reward for saving humanity from continually pushing it's men and women to war you become the new elder and focus the brotherhoods man power on establishing civilized cities along the eastern seaboard"

I mean really. The Enclave can just come fuck it up later anyway.

These Mirelurks seemed almost afraid of us, kind of just staying at a distance and not closing in. Meanwhile Nick gives no shits and guns them down from afar while I steal their eggs and murder their hatchlings.

>>164429128
Because that doesn't make any sense as the BoS are a dogmatic cult and would never let an outsider become an Elder, let alone head Elder.

And besides, that is basically what Maxson is indirectly doing anyways.

He goes around and purges supermutants, feral ghouls, and raiders, and offers protection to towns and trade caravans, allowing people to rebuild, and build new settlements, without fear of all the horrible shit in the wasteland.

The only thing Maxson does is take military grade technologies like power armor, vertibirds, fatman launchers, and actual nukes, out of the hands of civilians.

I'm about to play new vegas for the very first time, which difficulty would you guys recommend for a first-timer? i want a challenge but nothing too ridiculous, is very hard + hardcore mode fine or should i tone it down?

>>164430668
I can't remember as this was about an hour ago, but New Vegas wouldn't run either when i ran it through Script Extender or through Steam, also this was my first time using MO.

I usually just use NMM which i tried to at first but it just kept coming up with 7zip errors and it wouldn't install the mods so someone said to try MO.

Also the reason I usually use NMM is because i'm an absolute autist, i thought if it worked for Skyrim then it would work for FNV, but obviously it didn't

>>164431075
Go hardcore. It's not as spongey as Fallout 4 and it helps pace the game better imo. Otherwise you can basically run the route and there's no incentive to explore.

Don't research guides and shit like that, it's a waste of time. Anyway you want to play New Vegas will pretty much work as long as you have a contingency plan. IE you better be able to shoot a mother fucker if you can't sneak buy or a conversation turns south.

>>164431082

>>164430112

I'm hoping that the Institute set a precedent, and we'll get join-able Enclave next game, hopefully more in line with the Autumn doctrine more than Richardson.

Even in FO3, if you took a step back, Lyons and Autumn had very similar goals. Lyons wanted the purifier to to win over the populace, and aid recruitment, to kill his wale... and maybe help humanity rebuild.

Autumn wanted to rebuild a government, or more likely a military dictatorship, with the purifier and DC it's basis, and rebuild humanity.

Sadly, the main quest was slanted in favor of Brotherhood being the designated good guys and the darker side mostly subtext. James dying and taking us captive, with no option to use out 100 speech skill of Autumn, was the nail in the coffin. The best we can do is destroy the Citadel, and basically leave the Brotherhood rebuilding too.

The annoying thing to a pragmatic Wanderer is that the Enclave are a much better option. It will mean the extinction of ghouls and mutants, but the Brotherhood, Institute, and even general populace are fine with that, and even the NCRs tolerance doesn't stretch to say super mutants. Tolerance is not a virtue in a mutant filled post-apocalyptic hellhole. Hell, look what happen to the middle-east in real life when we got rid of the dictators.

Sometimes a military dictatorship, at least for a time, is what a lawless and barbaric region needs. It's all that will save it.

The Enclave had the tech to be heard across the wastes, the mobility to police them and purge places like Paradise Falls from the sky unchallenged, set up checkpoints across the wastes (one of these is near Canterbury, where they are confiscating weapons, but nothing more sinister), and actually rebuild. They could have made the wasteland a better place for you everyman, who just wants to get on with farming. Hell, there is an Enclave soldier patrolling the Canterbury Brahmin fields.

To give credit to 3, deserved or not, they didn't wipe out the Enclave completely (likely because they know they are popular and want the option of bringing them back. If you were sympathetic, you could generally stay out of their way except at key points of the MQ, let Autumn live and retreat to start rebuilding, and then bomb the Citadel and let the Enclave retreat that was already well under way go on uncontested. Even Lyons wasn't convinced that anything had been won but a battle, and Far Harbour confirms it by having a AWOL soldier-turned-cultist mention he was part of a 'regional' scouting team, implying that the Enclave is still very much a US-wide (if only due to mobility) organization after FO3. They are just likely staying out of the way of the NCR, Eastern Brotherhood, and most importantly Vault Dwellers for now.

>>164431412
ye, it's the sevenzipsharp one, if i install 7zip again does it fix it?

>>164417079
Return it to its status as a university, still keep the facility clandestine but have a public front that actually helps people and grounds the organisation.

Most importantly: Correct the Institutes Mission Statement (You know they have one) that actually includes the surface dwellers as part of humanity that requires protection. That necessitates changes in policy across the board. That would pretty much do it.

Progress from that is opening up comms across America, sending out synth scouts to everywhere they can, if intelligence comes back that there's civilisation worth dealing with send out courser ambassadors.

The Enclave are the only faction, with the very possible exceptions of House and Caesar, that have a solid plan to build the world up again.

The others try, but none of them answer exactly how they're going to make a radioactive, full-of-mutants-and-hell-weather world be safe again.

Caesar wants to bring about Rome and get rid of decadence and technology. House wants to build it back up from New Vegas with pre-War knowledge of how to avoid another war. The Enclave wants to eradicate every mutant to clean out the wastelands for habitation.

The NCR is corrupt and barely holding together, the Brotherhood just wants to masturbate to laser rifles, and Fallout 4's factions, to me, are all incredibly hollow, inept, and shallow, not worth mentioning.

I can only hope that the next Fallout will give us a surefire way to join the Enclave. They're so horribly underrepresented.

The good thing about our fanbase is how many of us like the Enclave enough to do the legwork to mod them in. See >>164433289. All FO4 needs now is a script-extender Enclave Commander where a squad in X-02, and we are basically there, and maybe a bit of tweaking of the outfits, perhaps brand new ones based on the FO3 looks.

But yes, we got a taste of a more moderate and sensible Enclave in Autumn, and then it was cruelly snatched away. I mean, Maxson and the BoS in Fallout 4 are the natural evolution of what Lyons started in FO3, and it's apparantly done fuck all to improve the world or even DC. We don't even get a whisper of what has happened with Project Purity. All we know, if it's even canon, is Moira's journal fluff from around the FO4 time period in the FO3 walkthrough, and Megaton and everything seems to be basically as we left it.

Have you read the DHS FBI white paper? No one in the government says the election was hacked they said the Russians used spearfishing and social engineering to get into DNC computers and start online campaigns ie memes to sway the voting populace.

Yeah, but as you say working properly, and from a Vertibird ala the old one.

I'm still hoping we get the Hellfire release for FO4 by the team that did the X-02 and just released their amazing version of the Chinese Stealth Suit. Admittedly I'm happy enough to have the 02, as Hellfire was pretty niche and limited in number, but it would have been nice to have my FO3/NV Colonel/General turn up wearing it in FO4 to re-commission my Nate into the US Military, or the Enclave as it is now know. Otherwise I'll just have to settle for the modded in coat.

So they did nothing wrong

>>164434708

Hm, fair enough. It's still pretty vague though, as we have the consoles on the Prydwen offering somewhat less optimistic views, including the question of where the aircraft carrier power-generatior was acquired for the Airship, and a guy telling his wife to not open the door back home in case of raiders.

You use it to launch the game, and it allows the game to use up to 4gb of your computer's memory. Without this, if you have a lot of mods or especially texture packs, you'll run out of memory (that the game is programmed to allow, not that your computer has) and it will crash.

Like NVSE you put the files in the main folder, then you run it using the .exe file. It SHOULD detect that you have NVSE, and run that with it.

>>164436354

That's because the NCR are shit, anon, and already incredibly corrupt, resource hungry, and far overstretched despite being so young. Plus, that's not actually true of the heart-land, it's pretty damn safe within Cali.

The Enclave would have done better. They had fucking checkpoints on all major roads within hours of moving on Project Purity and putting their plans into motion. There are at least three outposts near Megaton alone, two on the main roads into Canterbury Commons, and power armor in every one. The Enclave doesn't have the manpower issues the Brotherhood has. And in theory, there will have been a generation too young to fight and one that had just been born offscreen during FO3, the former of which will be just at fighting age around FO4's time. Good times are coming.

>>164436906

In the same folder you put NVSE. The folder the data folder is in.

Open the console in the game and type:
GetNVSEVersion
then hit enter.
If it gives an error you either typed it wrong or it isn't installed properly.

You're giving them a place to sleep, a share of the crops they grow to subsist on, water, and protection.

And as a bit of a side bonus, they are supporting the most powerful being in the wasteland, so they are on the right side of history.

>>164437843
Yep.
Then you use fnv4gb.exe to run the game.
...hopefully that shouldn't have whatever problems the script extender .exe does.
One last thing, take that d3d9.dll file and put it in the "exes" folder that came with the 4gb launcher. That lets your enb work.

>>164437003
The Enclave also wasn't completely against recruiting people, whether it was scientists or soldiers. I think they were picky based on how pure the person was but would make exceptions for scientists.

I kind of like the ex-Enclave folks you met in New Vegas. They seemed like alright people, while the BOS were kind of cunts. Still bitter about the explosive-collar bit.

>>164438227

Yeah, Bethesda dropped the ball, as a (as far as they knew) Vault Dweller as capable as the Wanderer would have been a boon for them.

The base staff in FO2, Navarro at least, weren't too bad either. Cook. the amusing scientist and his Snookie, and such. Even Dornan would have a 'civilian' escorted off site rather than executed, the first time at least. I can't picture many other factions being so 'nice' even if it did come from a place of smug superiority and assumption they couldn't be touched. And then there is the squad (Granite, was it?) who would help you take down Horrigan.

I think it comes down to the fact that, outside figures like Richardson and EDEN, the Enclave see themselves as the military and government. If they see you as a citizen, and you aren't too mutated, you 'belong'. Most of the other factions are basically sects and organizations. To a moderate Enclave soldier, you are one of 'his' civilians, albeit in an odd state of martial law.

Arcade is my President-Elect as of New Vegas (in case they appear again, and someone else is and has been President for a long time), my FO3/NV character is 'a' General in charge of the forces previously under her fathers command, and Nate will be re-commisioned as Provost Marshal Captain.

FO4 is interesting, because the Enclave of my run can legitimize the Minutemen as a 'government sanctioned' peacekeepers, and then when Nate becomes Director he can retire his commission and the Institute will basically become an Enclave development center. A covert, because only a few will know about it, take over of the Commonweath.

Shit will be fun. I just need to figure out how to put Gen1's to naturally relay-grenade into the world in Institute X-01. My SS will have the only suit of X-02 provided, as the only official Enclave officer, and his personal Minutemen in the Castle will get black X-01 and plasma weapons.

After Broken Steel starts up, or after the Crawler Base at Adams, do the various Enclave outposts across the wasteland disappear? I kind of want to rush the MQ, and then go explore them later.

>>164439146

Sure there is; you have your General actually be a member of the Enclave. As people generally follow your lead, once you have brought peace to the Commonwealth and maybe run the Institute, no one is going to say 'but the Enclave are bad guys' or 'who are they?' when you publicly declare Boston and it's surrounds an Enclave city-state. It just won't happen on-screen/before the final fade-to-black.

Sure, but only my Nate, the Directorate, and the Enclave Officer who invites himself (Enclave soldiers will take over guard duty from the Gen2) to be part of it, will know of the Enclave connections. I'm sort of trying to keep as close to the canon as I possibly can in my playthrough.

I didn't have my Colonel-turned-General be the Lone Wanderer; instead she is the daughter of Autumn sent to spy on him and see why 101 opened, right up until he melts in the Purifier at the end of the MQ. From Broken Steel onwards I'll swap to and play as Julia, companion no more, as she pretends to help the Brotherhood right up until she nukes the Citadel. She will then receive a promotion to her fathers previous rank.

In New Vegas she will have taken her forces West, and have been spying as a Courier. She will take over Nellis, as artillery doesn't really stop a dozen Vertibirds landing in the heart of the base, and conscript the Boomers. Then she will use the Securitrons to take the Dam, with Vertibirds and her troopers offering support, with a final battle against Lanius in her Hellfire and wielding a Proton Axe. I'll screenshot two different editions of Arcade being made President and Governor, in case the former is contradicted in a future game, and New Vegas will become the new Capitol of the Enclave.

Fallout 4 will be more subtle, as I said. Nate won't know it, but he will be provided scraps; a single suit of X-02, some old X-01 suits for those he trusts, and enough Combat Armor and Energy Weapons to arm the Castle. Everything else will be on him, as the only Enclave Officer in the Commonwealth.

Oh....okay. Last time I used that mod it caused loads of issues.

Thanks, though. Maybe that stuff might be all patched and working nicely next time I download settlement mods.

You know I'd really like to see the next Fallout from an Enclave perspective. Even though I'm a huge enclave fanboy it'd be pretty interesting to play through from a morality perspective if Bethesda could write worth a damn.

Town has a budding epidemic of people quickly becoming ghoul like creatures, enclave investigates, it's some isotope in the ground water, report back, enclave wants to eradicate, some companions are hard liners, some aren't. Ultimately the players decision how to proceed. Maybe even a medical solution can be found. Maybe a hardliner companion that helped you wipe them out has regrets later on.

There's lots of grey area to play with, no only in the Enclaves view of humans, but what of people like the Boomers who are more than capable of putting up a defense and don't want to accept the enclaves terms, but are also not friends with muties, ghouls, etc. Diplomatic or military solutions abound.

The opening theme of how bad war is for everyone never seems to be touched on within the actual game as often as it should be because you're always tied to the "good guy" side, everything seems justified for your war without a second thought. Game needs more second thoughts.

/v/ is definitely not the same thing as /vg/.

What should my winged deathclaws drop?

I'm thinking of making them drop their feathers, which would be bone and cloth when scrapped, possibly also nuclear material? I want there to at least be some reward besides the minigun for destroying these magnificent creatures.

Deathclaw semen

>>164448816
HORNS.
Also that looks like a ghetto avenger from Fallout 2.

The other games are different from them Anon. I dunno give it time? Honestly the RE-playability of them is amazing, so if you can't get past the first time I don't know what to say. You actually gotta roleplay them.
