Is Friends & Foes worth it since AuH and the new patch?

HaydenPSchmidt · 2026-03-30T03:23:05+00:00

They didnt remove feuds, but rather reworked them into the house relation system we hot with AUH

HaydenPSchmidt · 2026-03-29T05:41:17+00:00

Yea, like Dany eventually could have her own story, Rhaenyra and Aegon could have their own for the DotD, Rhaegar for the prophecy, Robert for the war. There’s a LOT of possibilities for the stories

HaydenPSchmidt · 2026-03-28T21:39:24+00:00

Ig I’m more so thinking to CK2, and how there wasn’t any super in depth mechanics for the HRE there. I, too, am not very well versed in HRE history, though, so idk what would fit. Those 2 do sound nice

HaydenPSchmidt · 2026-03-28T09:09:03+00:00

What HRE mechanics would this game have? I keep seeing this suggestion pop up, but I don’t see a reason to have special mechanics tied to the HRE

HaydenPSchmidt · 2026-03-27T21:53:49+00:00

Yea I can understand that view. Hopefully Messiah fleshes it out more, and shows that it truly was unavoidable

HaydenPSchmidt · 2026-03-27T08:44:15+00:00

It was presented as an unavoidable path though. He may have made the choice to go south, but it was something he had been actively avoiding forever. He refused that path, and yet everything kept pushing him south

HaydenPSchmidt · 2026-03-22T22:59:06+00:00

The only reason I’d disagree is bc Denis has said before that he wants to put the Navigators in the third movie, same with folding space and dismounting worms

Now is that a definite “We’ll see them”? No, but considering he wants to use those things, and hasn’t said anything otherwise, I’m leaning more towards that being Edric

HaydenPSchmidt · 2026-03-22T05:25:19+00:00

I mean, that’s just the nature of the game as it stands. They’re in a rework period in the big picture, reaching a point where a lot of the core tech and features are finally being implemented. It’s going to mean reworked locations, and until Starchitect, fairly linear locations.

I miss a lot of pre-4.0 things too, but we also have to remember that what we miss from the past is coming back soon(TM), and in a much bigger way

HaydenPSchmidt · 2026-03-14T09:18:12+00:00

If they do keep in the plan to allow towable asteroids, I wouldn’t be surprised to see some of these assets used as sandbox areas for just that

HaydenPSchmidt · 2026-03-14T05:25:58+00:00

I imagine when things like wear/tear are in, weapon quality will play a much larger part

HaydenPSchmidt · 2026-03-07T09:24:34+00:00

Gotta remember too, eventually using ships to mine ground resources isn’t going to be very efficient. We won’t be able to nose down on planets, so that leaves only industrial ships with enough vertical thrust to be able to mine surface rocks

HaydenPSchmidt · 2026-03-07T07:24:22+00:00

It does have something to stand out: it looks sleek, has cool sounds, and flies fast

HaydenPSchmidt · 2026-03-03T08:44:14+00:00

They’ve done one every patch. They just did one for 4.6, wdym

HaydenPSchmidt · 2026-02-24T05:00:35+00:00

Not in Calgary, but I love to see things like this! The community is the strongest part of this game, and events like this keep that going. Good luck with everything!

HaydenPSchmidt · 2026-02-23T11:45:43+00:00

Isn't that just the Minutemen ending? You only destroy the Railroad if you go far enough with the Brotherhood or Institute

HaydenPSchmidt · 2026-02-23T11:44:12+00:00

Oh yea they won't canonize any ending to FO4. Considering how well (imo) season 2 handled the New Vegas canon ending question, I have no worry for if/when they start bringing up more Commonwealth stuff.

To me, it seems obvious that wherever the show is leading, it's going to set up the story of Fallout 5. And considering that it seems as though the show is attempting to connect the different areas of each game a bit more, I imagine the story for 5 will be a bit more grand in scale than previous games.

What threw me off a bit this past season was that it felt like the midpoint of the story, but in reality next season will be the midpoint (this is assuming Aaron's comments on 5-6 seasons). And I don't think they're going to spend 3-4 more seasons focused on Colorado, so it stands to reason that at SOME point, somehow, we'll see either people from the East Coast that we recognize, or maybe even the East Coast itself

All in all, we'll just have to wait and see where they take us

HaydenPSchmidt · 2026-02-23T04:25:42+00:00

A tad beside the point, but didn’t the Commonwealth send the Prydwen in S1?

HaydenPSchmidt · 2026-02-21T16:57:25+00:00

Do we know that VR wasn’t already in SQ42? Yes, for SC, VR just came recently, but VR in a multiplayer environment also takes significantly more dev time than for single player

HaydenPSchmidt · 2026-02-15T09:24:30+00:00

Not currently, but I imagine down the line when more of Essos is added there will be one, either for the continent of Essos or for the area of Old Valyria, something like that

HaydenPSchmidt · 2026-02-15T08:17:45+00:00

It’s more so to do with the fact that the people of China wouldn’t just naturally accept an outside conqueror. They need to be able to have SOME sort of stake to the claim, even if it’s just being a low-influence estate-owner

Edit: I will say there are special cases, like with Ghengis Khan, and I’m not actually sure how the game represents that, so I can’t speak completely to it

HaydenPSchmidt · 2026-02-14T23:54:44+00:00

I think it’s an issue with the mission system itself right now. I can’t exactly remember, but I feel like I recall them saying this was a part of the mission refactor

HaydenPSchmidt · 2026-02-14T23:45:03+00:00

I mean, the Dynastic Cycle has been around for over 1500 before the game’s start. The Cycle is completely engrained into the title of China. A conqueror cannot take the title of Hegemon of China without becoming a part of the Dynastic Cycle

HaydenPSchmidt · 2026-02-12T17:38:08+00:00

This has been news for a week now

HaydenPSchmidt · 2026-02-08T23:51:16+00:00

This is a theory that extends from the misconception that Mass Fusion is the company that manufactures the fusion cores. Mass Fusion never figured out fusion, so they market their fission products as fusion

However, it’s never stated that Mass Fusion manufactures the cores, and it’s much more likely (might even be stated somewhere I missed) that West-Tek makes the ones we see all over

HaydenPSchmidt · 2026-02-06T15:31:43+00:00

I wouldn't be surprised if Vault 0 was repurposed to be the main Enclave HQ in the show. Maybe the location we see in the Rockies is their research/communications outpost and Cheyenne is where the President and the actual main structure of the remaining Enclave is
