I'm not super well versed in TES lore. They were the creator deities though, right? One of which became Sithis.

I suppose Earth could be a very old Nirn after all the magic died, or a very early Nirn. The Sun gives people magic and Sun = Ultraviolet rays = Radiation. And Radiation in Fallout is basically magic. Maybe you're onto something there. Deathclaws could be simply Daedra invading!

No Vault 111 was just cryogenics on unsuspecting people. The Vault was supposed to open after 180 days. The Overseer decided the radiation levels hadn't dropped far enough yet but others in the vault were getting antsy due to the dwindling supplies. After the Overseer ordered all food, weapons, and medicine, the staff mutinied.

Ah, okay. Well shit, I wonder what the maximum amount of time the Cryo could work, then?

Several hundred years without being tampered with? It only failed after the Institute decided to kill everyone for the evulz. I wish you could get more dialog options in this game solely for 90% of the shit the Institute did to you, I already disliked the 4 slot dialog option, and NV felt a bit like it was throwing literally gobs of narrative at you, but I listened to it all anyway...I really wish there was more dialog with them in particular, especially Shaun. The longest conversation you have with him is when you meet him, after that its all "Hey dad go kill these guys bye" and "Why havent you killed those guys yet dad"

I disagree with Cait on a lot of stuff. I'm nonviolent while she jumps at the opportunity for a brawl. I usually help people and give help/money freely while she's very much concerned with what we get and how we gain. She doesn't seem to care either way about synths and seems to approve/disapprove based more on how we benefit through out interactions with them rather than any philosophical stance regarding them. I generally go out of my way to establish settlements and protect then while she is pretty anti-authority.

She disapproves of generosity and gives me shit for it constantly, so getting her to like me took a while. She didn't like me for a long time at first. She thought I was the biggest nerd ever and kept trying to get me to stop risking life and limb for other people but eventually she saw I was a good friend despite being a nerd when I helped her out.

If I had followed her advice, I might never have helped her out in that way. Really activates the almonds that one.

My water/food empire makes us rich and everything I have is hers so I wish she would stop worrying about money but she lived that way for so long I get that it's hard to break those sorts of habits.

I already made it to NV. I walked pretty much straight there actually.

What alt starts do you recommend?

>>175923629

On my first run, I was playing a former corporate espionage agent/assassin, which naturally led to her joining the Railroad in order to find Shaun. She and Deacon spent a lot of time wandering the wastes together, being in many ways kindred spirits. It all fell apart when she found her son and had to choose between him or the people who wanted to destroy everything he'd worked for.

>>175926109

http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/45739/? was my usual go-to.

>>175926241
who you're related to is coincidence. If you actually liked deacon and found a lot in common with him, isn't that better than a 100% coincidental thing of who happened to come out of your vagina?

You don't know shaun. You meet him as an adult. So unless you actually like what he did and what the institute does, wouldn't actually liking decon and what the railroad actually does be better than the "muh blood" coincidence?

>>175915608
Well, cryo doesn't really "work" today.

And the way it's being developed is to try to preserve recently dead people, not living people.

Basically you replace their blood with a very cold fluid (not water), then dip the body (or just the head, depending on preference) into another very cold liquid. They're not frozen, they're vitrified.

Certainly not like the cold air spray we see in game, that shit would destroy you real quick.

But back to the question: Surprisingly enough, it's 200 years after the war and Vault 111's cryo systems were working just fine. Shocking, really, when most Vaults usually open up due to malfunction in some critical system or plain lack of resources to mantain the Vault.

Not to mention the fact that Vault 111's experiment was only meant to last a few months, which is why the staff killed themselves when they ran out of food (overseer and science staff didn't want to leave the Vault, security did).

So it's a miracle that the thing hasn't completely fallen apart by the time Kellogg got there, but irrc in Fallout 2 there were cryo pods that when opened just showed goo inside.

My best guess is that it wouldn't last much longer than it did. Eventually their luck would run out and the machinery would just break down, releasing everyone.

If properly cared for than it would probably last indefinetely, seeing as 200 years didn't affect the SS negatively at all.

>>175926309
Butter my biscuit, that looks pretty swell. Thanks, friend.

>>175926391

Depends on the character; I as the player consider Shaun/Father to be a callous bastard, but this particular sole survivor had been extremely emotionally invested in finding her son and had no qualms about murdering everything standing in her way. She sided with the Railroad as a means to an end, rather than any particular opinion on synths.

>>175926435
>seeing as 200 years didn't affect the SS negatively at all.

I kinda wonder about that

Like if one day he just is like "I don't feel so good" and he just collapses into a puddle. Or his reproductive organs are now messed up.

>>175927629
>he
>his
And why do you always imply the sole survivor is a man?

>>175928036
i do the same thing when I talk about my ss. it's just what people do, not a muh gender thing.

don't worry i know you're baiting

>>175927629
Nah, I doubt it. Don't the doctors all across the wasteland tell you that you're the healthiest person they've ever seen?

>>175928179

I don't quite remember.

Then there's the twist of "You were a synth all along" thing but they never really did anything with that. That would have to be one big elaborate ruse on the Institutes part, imagine implanting those fake memories and all those fake dead synths they'd have to put in Vault 111 just to fool you.

>>175928309
>all those fake dead synths they'd have to put in Vault 111
Why? If they were going to go with the SS being a synth they would've just said everyone died a long time ago but their brains could still be used for making synth memories.

The only one that would've been replaced would be you.

>>175928309
It doesn't make any sense for the SS to be a synth. Kellogg remembers you.

>>175928309
>>175928461
>>175928526
Imagine this as an end game feature for the Institute. Willingly brain-scanning yourself and turning into a Gen 3 synth. Whenever you die and you would otherwise get a game over, you immediately activate in a new body, and you can return to the place where you died to reclaim your stuff. Gain immortality. But it takes an entire day to make an exact copy, so this is a once a day ability. When you die, you simply respawn in the Institute with some basic Institute gear.

>>175927629
The amount of drugs and rads the average player takes pretty much guarantees the SS's reproductive organs dont work. I'm surprised anyone in the CWs work with the radiation hotspots and constant radstorms. In fact, with the amount of corporate malpractice in regards to safety standards, it's a minor miracle even in the pre-war that anyone could reproduce.

>>175928309
>The vault really did fail
>the original cryoguys all got turned to goo
>they replaced everyone with synths and froze them to death
>they just put you in the tube with fake memories and push the 'on' button.

>>175928727
Reminds of the mod "Hilda Hughes: an Institute story".

There's a character that believes that survival mode is real and that he has to keep drinking ridiculous amounts of water and sleeping to "save his progress", and whenever he dies the Institute will replace him with a synth wheneve he last slept.

Pretty ok mod. But that makes no sense as a "feature", as this game doesn't have permadeath and you just go back to your previous save without loss.

>>175928526
That's not a good justification though, you could've died with the other Vault resisdents on a cryo pod failure, then in comes father and secretly makes a synth SS.

>>175928734
Aren't all wastelanders mutants though? I read somewhere sometime that wastelanders actually were sliiiightly affected by FEV, giving them a sliiiiight mutation, which is why everyone and their mother says that wastelander dna is corrupted or whatever.

This would invalidate the entire reason they went there to begin with: to get uncorrupted human DNA and finish Gen 3 synths.

What if the real plan was to field test a new 4th gen synth with free will designed to be stronger than any courser by pitting it against their own defenses. But they needed a reason to make it believe it was real so it would decide to reach it's full potential, hence the elaborate backstory. Part Turing test, part combat trial.

:^)
Long live the unreliable narrator meme.

>>175929442
If they didn't get Shaun they can't have developed the 3rd gen synth, much less a 4th gen one .-.

But yes, I do believe that is the best way they could've done the "SS is a synth" story.

Which is why I said the best way is to just say the orginal SS died and Shaun merely replaced him with a next gen Synth. Which would actually be just a 3rd gen synth without a Synth component, really.

>>175929442

That sounds really dumb though. They'd have to have made failsafes, like if you kill Father on the spot, someone could get on the intercom system and start yelling shut down codes or whatever to stop you before you hurt anyone else.

Unless the Rabbit hole goes even further than that. Imagine if the Institute we see wasn't the actual thing. Just like the tip of the iceberg, and everyone in it is just a synth.

>>175924104

According to the what the SS is told / allowed to see. We know the institute can affect the synths perception, is that why some doors in the institute are locked and terminals blank/inaccessible? A failsafe? Father is just a guy, you only think he's your son.

I'm just playing devils advocate here.
It bothers me immensely that they didn't even make 4's story ambiguous correctly.

Yet we can still argue about Legion, NCR and House.

Why go this overly convoluted route when you can just say the systems failed after a while and just replace the SS?

>>175929748

I just never could buy into the 'The sole Survivor is a Synth' thing, mainly because if we accept Survival mode as canon, then the SS DOES need to sleep, eat, and contracts diseases.

No I mean really. Stingwings are mutated scorpionflies. The "stinger" on scorpionflies isn't really a stinger, it's very large genitals disguised as one.
So when you're being stung by a Stingwing in Fallout 4, you're being stung by a gigantic bug cock.

I'd really have loved to have seen a system where you can shift your companion's views over a bit to another view point. Like either teach Strong compassion by explaining to him the Milk of human kindness and how it relates to the concepts of brotherhood among super mutants. Or corrupt him by telling him he and the mutants are fine and humanity's real strength is sheer brutality against enemies and you can teach him more.

Know what I've realized? FO4 is actually weaker than FO3. FO3 had it where yes, you're put into a role, but it remains relatively vague. And it sets up characters for you to feel something about, but it fleshes them out. You can read up on files about how some of them suffer from depression or are going a bit crazy, and it sort of eases you to have empathy for them before shit goes totally crazy. The introduction is studded with things that build these characters. When you do the second age jump to the birthday party, you start off facing a bulletin board with little bits and pieces of flavoring that add to the personalities of the characters. Just memos. Just little snippets. But even they add to it. So when bad things happen, they have meaning.

Unless that's a modded vault suit I'd hazard a guess it's an issue with your plants since they're the only thing to be showing through. Try removing them to confirm, then check the mod page. Someone has likely had the same issue.

Even though the card is 6Gb, if the game is only allowing itself to use 1Gb, it might be hitting that and crashing. Try using an ENB with appropriate .ini edits for memory usage.

Perhaps I should have clarified. I've identified that it's an ENB issue. It's not just the plant, but the water tank over there has its foundation showing over the terrain, and if I were to look at my character head-on, I'd see the underside of his hair through his head. Turning ENB off makes everything opaque again, but looks worse than no-ENB due to SweetFX.

>>175949735
> I can't even imagine the butthurt if they do the same thing with the next TES game.
They wouldn't.

The difference is that TES has always had no background, whereas Fallout 1, 2, 3, and 4, all have a pre-set background for most of your character's early life.

Fallout 3 was jut more vague about it because they couldn't be assed to follow Fallout 1/2

Tim Cain said nothing of the sort, if you go back and rewatch the video, the only thing he says he disliked was the use of super mutants, and he even clarified that it wasn't anything game breaking.

The point was that bringing up the cryo pods from Fallout 2 is pointless since it wasn't actual cryonics, so them melting into goo doesn't matter in relation to Fallout 4.

You say that post war tech went beyond a golden age and yet in this game we're given the culmination of progressive military tech, the Walther P38. The most highly advanced ballistic weapon in the game, made in 1938.

Juxtapose this to EoTech sights from early 2000's, satellite GPS and other shit ingame. And your defense of this is to sperg out like you're still on /v/ and give vague assumptions about tech, 90% of which is still pre-war and very little post-war.

>>175954817
>he just thinks your a dick
I never got that impression from Nick, but he's hands-down my favorite character of the game, maybe. Curie is waifu status though. Just not as cool as Nick to me.

I'm not going to console perks for them either, just grind their affinity up and send them off to live on a farm.

Obviously the "rule" from Bethesda is about "archived" pre-war music, and them wanting to maintain an "atomic age" aesthetic. Having in-universe post-war characters make music doesn't count against this, as its music created and/or performed by post-war individuals, so it doesn't reflect on the culture of pre-war America in-game (also regarding the meta it doesn't have royalty issues that throwing in modern or now-retro pop music would have).

>>175953071
Except he mentioned that specifically as a guideline given to Obsidian by Bethesda regarding how to assemble their radio and music soundtrack. This probably had multiple reasons, one being the meta reason that Bethesda being the publisher would probably do the royalty dealings anyway, but also an in-game reason in that thematically Bethesda wanted to maintain their general theme of keeping pre-war America in Fallout to be a caricature of post-WW2 America.

There's abraxo everywhere, no reason it can't be clean. Just because Pete Hines doesn't believe in sweeping up.

I've been wondering, if the Enclave didn't get shit stomped by BoS how would they have reacted to the groups in Fallout 4? Obviously Minutemen are just shitty wasters waiting to be taken advantage of/killed. But what about the Institute? What kind of interactions would they have?

>>175955117
Fallout 3 was a soft reboot of the series so none of those weapons are canon and if what you said were true then you'd contradicted yourself AND the stated lore of ballistic tech.

Outside of BoS and Enclave no one has made PA suits. They either throw scrap metal onto a frame or hollow out the suit of its servos and hydraulics and us that as protection. This is why all pre-war suits give superior protection and durability while post-war is just shit with terrible stats.

Something like how they tried to get Vault 101 to "join" them. Probably send some communications sounding very official and authoritative but non-threatening.

NCR has a power armor production facility smack dab in their territory, just it's not easy to use due to environmental hazards and lack of resources.

The Sierra armor is not "pre-war" as it has been fitted with a far more efficient power supply than T-45d's up that point have had, plainly visible on the suit.

The armor is entirely refurbished, the only thing it has in common with its pre-war predecessor is its shell, which is likewise treated and provides superior protection.

It would be like saying a car with entirely new seats, transmission, and engine is still the same car.

Try toning down on the rage and figurative spittle if you want to be taken seriously or not look like a dickhead.

That is a modification to an existing suit, something anyone can do That is not the same as making new suits.

Post-war might be a better word than old. To re-phrase, the dilapidated, worn furniture looks out of place.
Both those couches have "like new" versions. If you can build a house with fixtures and fittings that looks brand new and taken care of (which isn't unreasonable) you can certainly upholster a chair. One that looks like it's been left outside for 200 years doesn't make sense.

>>175956383
In my head canon? Closer to a field researcher. An agent of sorts, somewhat like a post-war pararesue with some espionage mixed in. A medical asset posted somewhat undercover on the surface should any other Institute teams need emergency medical assistance is the general background.
In game I'm more of a grieving mother looking for her son.
It's getting pretty hard to handwave shit and come up with in character reasons for progressing the main quest. I guess I'm just sort of running an institute security audit? Seeing if it's even possible to get in from outside? I did the alternate start as a Field Scientist but basically all that did was spawn me in a field with a labcoat and a quest marker to DC to find my son. Perhaps I will use my valuable medical skills and penchant for espionage to infiltrate a certain secret society that's been a thorn in the side of the Institute.

>>175958187
>No they don't... are you high?
There is a West Tek facility in NCR territory. Again, they simply lack the proper resources to use it. And the BoS can make new power armor as of Fallout 4. And I would still argue that the amount of modification it's undergone allows it to quality as a "post-war" armor. If your sole definition of post-war armor is "a newly produced and manufactured suit from scratch", you're writing off the other guy's whole argument as well.
>>175958202
Except Hellfire is the best power armor ever designed stats-wise. When the post said "This is why all pre-war suits give superior protection and durability while post-war is just shit with terrible stats" it's fundamentally wrong. The ONLY suit of armor that fits the bill is the Raider PA.

>>175958098
Radio station/welcoming center could work well, yeah, I like that idea.

>>175955607
Also the post-war isn't really "dirty" it's just not not completely pristine, and would fit in better with everything else in the game.

But the super clean village of Sanctuary ran by a guy who was alive since before the war, kind of like the Cabbot House would be kind of cool.

>>175958836
>There is a West Tek facility in NCR territory
See, I thought you might bring this up, but I assumed you weren't that retarded, but it turns out you are.

The West-Tek facility has hit directly by a large nuke that rended basically the whole facility inopeperable, and so radioactive that even people in power armor can't survive there long.

There is nothing in the games to suggest West-Tek, even if it wasn't a radioactive shithole, would be a usable PA production facility.

Yeah what do you think I was talking about, chum.

If the NCR had more ghouls in OSI (and they do have Keely) it's entirely possible they could eventually get it functional again, assuming they ever thought to utilize some of the resources they find to such an end instead of squandering them elsewhere. But squandering and misusing resources is, hilariously, one of the NCR's biggest flaws.

>>175959146
Every time I've seen it brought up here, people suggest that the only reason the BoS has so many T-60's is because they're now capable of producing what was an ass-end of the war prototype design. If that's wrong, then there's still the big question as to where they got all those suits.

>>175958836
>"a newly produced and manufactured suit from scratch"
I mean there was a guy arguing that the Prydwen wasn't built from scratch because the BoS used scavenged parts to make it instead of producing every single part from raw materials.

>>175959021
>I'm saying it's no longer the same vehicle
Except it' the same vehicle. Just with a new transmission and seats. People restore old cars as a hobby.

Now you're trying to juxtapose that with modded out custom cars from Apocalypse Weekend.

Same place they got all thier vertibirds.

Ever since the end of Fallout 3 the BoS has been using the resources they gained by beating the Enclave at Adams to expand all across the east coast, and have sent numerous recon teams to most major cites, even as far as Boston.

And ever since they got the Prdywen, they have been using it to travel across the East Coast and spread their influence across it even faster.

There are any number of cities they could have gotten many T-60 suits from.

Even if we assume Boston is the furthest out they have ever gone, the BoS's range is HUGE, as seen in pic realted

It really depends whether you want to make a brand out of what you've done to the car.
But if the expertise to make it, even to old world specs, is there then it's still a post-war creation. If you build a Cobra from a kit, it's not a 1969 AC Cobra, it's a 2017 Cobra built in your shed.

If you have the ability to tool up a factory to create a product, then you not only have the expertise to know how that product is made, but knowledge that is in depth enough to create an efficient method of doing so. It stands to reason that they could, through other less efficient/effective methods create smaller quantities of PA parts.

That's actually from Fury Road. But no, it's still supporting my argument because the core of the discussion was the Sierra Power Armor.

Brand new and completely different power unit. Brand new and completely different functionality (typical T-45d's do NOT provide medical aid to the wearer). The chassis/shell itself has been heavily modified beyond just a bit of paint as well.

This was not a "restoration" of an old suit of T-45, it was taking an old suit and making it into something almost completely different. My argument is straight, consider trying to pay attention to what's going on. You take a car with a manual transmission and make it automatic, take a v4 engine and replace it with a v8, it's not the same damn car nor is it simply a "restoration".

They don't, which is why Danse WISHES they could do it.

Was killing the white legs the best option? It benefitted everyone except that fucko Daniel

Isn't it stated that they did one massive trip in the Prydwen? That it was basically built to go to Boston?

Sure they might have pottered around the backyard in it and stopped at stuff on the way, but the trip to Boston basically fucked the ship and to suggest they'd done multiple round trips of equal distance is a bit silly IMO.

The simplest explanation is that the BOS can make some of the parts they can't scavenge. However, the fact that it's hard makes it important to look after the suits they have. Which segues to this point:

In my mind that quote was more about scale. If they can spend 6 months casting and making 1 suit in a workshop, they're never going to build an army. By making a factory, they could arm everyone in the BOS with PA.

^This

Philly, NYC, Baltimore, even places like Richmond, and Norfolk.

Not to mention, we know, from loading screens in Fallout 4, that T60 PA was being used all across the nation since every major city was under martial law due to civilian revolts caused by the lack of resources.

T-60 armor would be everywhere.

Also, we have to consider the fact that Maxson's BoS is only about 500 people large, and that includes scribes, vertibird pilots, and low ranking soldiers, who all don't have access to PA.

All in all, the BoS likely has less then 200 suits of T-60 PA in use.
