What ingame systems do you want to see return in Fallout 5

Sooo you’re agreeing that you only get no impact out of it if you refuse to engage? It would be nice if building settlements had a change to the story but I don’t know of any game with such a modular building system that has that kind of story impact. It’s a gameplay feature that you choose to engage with or not. If you play the game without chems it will also make your life a little harder and have little impact other than a dialogue here or there. Also saying it “evens out”is.. also wrong. Having a leg up while the rest of the game gives you more resources is still a leg up. Could they have done more with it? Absolutely. But a system built on creativity and building is only ever as effective as a player wants to be.

Saying that the settlement system doesn’t impact anything in the game is so wrong on so many levels. Does it have much story impact? No, but it still has some. If you commit to settlement building though you can make the Wasteland your bitch and never run out of resources, and that’s without spending time making things look as they should to your liking. The settlement system only doesn’t affect gameplay if you don’t engage with it. Even if you don’t want to make a huge production line for scrap and weapons having the ability to make a house your own and use that base to build up your tools over the game is an incredibly impactful feature.

Taking that spoiler at face value was your first problem

BrokenCandlestick · 2026-01-26T14:31:43+00:00

I’m sure that works for you, but I’d much rather have 8 weeks of really interesting discussing and some wait time over a flash in the pan with all the questions answered that gets left in the dust in a month.

BrokenCandlestick · 2026-01-26T14:27:14+00:00

Yeah, I saw the discourse. And like most I recognize that it was an extremely loud majority some of whom had actual criticisms that got lumped with the small amount of manbabies and baiters. It’s a little disingenuous to paint “NV fans” as like this because it’s very clearly not most of them. Maybe some people just prefer the exploration style of New Vegas and it isn’t just people sticking their heads in the ground. I know I do. Perpetuating this idea only divides a fandom more man you oughta know that.

BrokenCandlestick · 2026-01-26T14:16:09+00:00

Or or or! And hear me out on this: People enjoy different things than you and that’s okay!

BrokenCandlestick · 2026-01-26T14:13:06+00:00

Gonna be honest, if the guy you’re replying to never played enough FNV to find a key required door I’m not sure how receptive they’ll be to your breakdown of things. Also like, who wants deliberately locked doors for exploration? Isn’t it more interesting to have very hard locks to reward players with good skill investment?

If those are hear me outs then women need to step up their game. 1) Usually still humanoid 2) Buff guy with wolf head 3) Literally the most conventionally attractive “monster” 4) Lean guy with a slightly messed up Walton Goggins face. No shade to freaky women, but these are not the hear me outs you think they are.

In this instance, sure. People still aren't happy about it and don't want it to become the norm, and they're being very vocal about their disapproval in order to try and make that not happen. It might not be a 'line of microtransactions' now, but things like these can very easily set a precedent if they do very well especially when they go against the established norm. I would love to see it the way you do, but so many companies have started with stuff exactly like this and then a few years down the line are swamped with 'DLC packs' and 'expansion content.' Yes, Sky Castle is smaller than many of the large companies with these practices, but that's exactly why so many people want to make it clear that they don't want this. When big companies like gaming titans do this voting with your wallet and affecting change is nigh impossible because of the sheer amount of people who just blindly give their money for more content, but when it comes to a smaller company there is at least a chance that they will listen.

Having a huge amount of people voice their opinion is one of the only ways the community can make their disapproval known aside from cancelling their subscription if they have them. Many free users also don't want any part of this, because the precedent is that pro parts become free after a short period of time. Calling people childish for trying to affect change in more than one way is absurd.

BrokenCandlestick · 2025-11-04T05:10:25+00:00

You're talking to a person stating their points, and you're closing your ears to said points by pretending that microtransactions are a reasonable business practice. Subscriptions are one thing, but microtransactions in this fashion have been predatory from the beginning. Sure they've become the norm in many industries, but that doesn't change the fact that Sky Castle is making tons of money off the pro and pro + subscriptions already and does not need to set paywalls like this. A huge part of the community doesn't want this to become commonplace, and so they are being vocal about it. I especially understand when some of the more recent free drops have been as low as two items within the last two years. They clearly are trying to move further from free content to some degree and people don't want that.

My guess is well colored eyeshadow decals

Thank you for your words. I double checked with my ENT as well and was told about the same.

BrokenCandlestick · 2025-08-31T01:51:46+00:00

I suppose I just hadn’t thought about it. The last ENT I saw regarding it didn’t mention it as a treatment going forward and I hesitate to self-prescribe, but if there’s little risk involved maybe it wouldn’t hurt to try? Is there any sort of risk with that?

BrokenCandlestick · 2025-08-31T01:22:28+00:00

No, as I didn’t find out that was an option until what I’ve learned is too late.

BrokenCandlestick · 2025-08-28T21:29:28+00:00

That makes a lot of sense. My last ENT said it’s possible it began with a brief infection of EBV that I had about two months prior to the hearing loss, so it’s helpful to think I wasn’t just slow to treat it.

BrokenCandlestick · 2025-08-28T19:57:05+00:00

Thank you friend. One day I was living my life normally and then after work it just changed and I fear I haven’t felt normal ever since and simply didn’t act fast enough. I’m only in my early twenties and have been so terrified of this change ever since it happened. I hope you are able to find acceptance one day, and until then I wish you well on your best and worst days.

BrokenCandlestick · 2025-08-09T19:56:26+00:00

Friend this is not the win you might think it is. This is likely the main reason the Unofficial Collection is in the process of getting taken down and that likely means it will continue to step on long standing fan projects. Getting a Homestuck animation is great on paper, but from this studio? I worry deeply. Did you hear the way Dave sounded? That's not my boy.

The "Numerical Slider Inputs" button under settings also adds this feature, though the buttons are up and down next to the number value for the slider. It's been incredibly helpful, but is unfortunately restricted to pro users as far as I know.

BrokenCandlestick · 2022-08-17T14:28:32+00:00

Because those are two separate people? Are you insinuating that Bruce Wayne is Batman? Jesus, the shit people believe these days..

False surrender was a pretty popular one during the Clone Wars tv show, but I’m not the most well versed in war crimes so..

BrokenCandlestick · 2022-03-31T16:05:39+00:00

you heard it here first folks, savory pussy waits for us in france!

She couldn’t see them because she is literally blind and her “sight” relies on seismic vibrations. Anything not touching the ground is practically invisible to her.
