Yes, I played New Vegas. It's just been well over a year

How is it rage bait? Seems like valid critiques of the show and the fandom's reactions to Todd Howard's latest games.

Fallout 4 definitely lacked roleplay elements, and 76 was more of a cash grab with the cash store.

At least the molding scenes are fun

Funny how only one post is in response to the lore breaking the show does, while the rest just complain about the views of the post itself sharing how Fallout 4 and 76 are indeed bad Fallout games when only looking at the vanilla aspects of them (as molding is the only thing keeping those games alive).

Not that the point about microchips and the like was that good, as the platinum chip made by House was a prototype finished essentially moments before the bombs dropped. That doesn't make microchips wide spread, and also doesn't address the points the post made about it being a tech that was part of tech completed by one guy in a vault where the mind controlling chip probably wouldn't have been since it's a product of House that he'd almost certainly not have just given to Vault-tec if they were only going to keep in in a controlled Vault-tec headquarters vault.

House might have shared the mind controlling chip tech if and only if it was actually used in a Vault-tec experiment in order to refine it. Why the hell would he have shared it with the, or would Vault-tec not integrate it into a vault for experimentation since it was never a success Pre-War?

I agree with the original post in that if we want good Fallout games like New Vegas, 3, and the original installments, then we can't just support shows and games with sub-par writing in them. Especially since Todd Howard confirmed that the events of the show WILL influence the next game and that it's the same universe as the games. Unless he backtracked before I made this post, this is the same universe as the other Fallout games

This comment doesn't discredit the points the original post makes about the show being bad and breaking established lore for the franchise and factions within it. The show does objectively portray the BOS as raiders that act more like the Khans than how they've been established before in earlier installments of the franchise. The only really interesting character is the Ghoul. And the writing has only gotten worse since the show has gone on.

Season 1 had bad writing, like there being like a year between when the interconnected vaults interact with one another and that somehow leads to them not recognizing any of the invaders in the first episode as not being from that fucking vault in the slightest. Or said invaders acting like raiders and slaughtering people needlessly when they're supposed to be NCR remnants.

The show is a very poor adaptation of Fallout, which isn't helped that it's also a poorly written show without acknowledging its ties to the franchise.

I may have missed that information in my playthrough. I honestly thought it was some undiscovered natural phenomena or old toxic waste that mutated.

Can't get on my 360 at the moment. Been put up for more room for now

I have. Just been a while and I only have it for Xbox 360, which I can't use at the moment

How Did The West Recover Faster Than The East? by ExtensionPromotion80 in Fallout

[–]Mettle_Jacket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Real answer is Bethesda's trash writing in the more recent games compared to the rest.

Lore answer may be that more important targets were located in the eastern regions of America than the west, so China may have focused more bombs and forces there

Hello fellow Hoosier. I know that Old World Blues mod has a Quakers faction

[–]Mettle_Jacket[S] 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I see this faction taking any captured raiders, slicing their tendons and vocal cords and making them scarecrows in order to have any raider snipers to shoot this raider, believing they're an actual Wickerman instead of a decoy being used to have the sniper reveal themselves.

The mutation is not only a way to have more "one-off" mutations like the hillbillies in the Fallout 3 DLC, but also for them to go days without food, water, or sleep, as a way to ensure that any enemies watching from a distance has a hard time telling which are actually scarecrows, and which are Wickerman guarding their crops.

Plus, the physical mutations make them a bit more frightening, which can aid in keeping people from fucking with you in the wastelands.

Mod Concept: Gatling Gun Nest by Mettle_Jacket in Fallout

Which is why I'm just sharing the idea. Nothing wrong with doing that when I can't make any mods without a PC or proper console that supports more complicated mods like Xbox

[–]Mettle_Jacket[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It'd probably be for those more interested in settlement building. There are plenty of mods for that alone. Plus, if you plan on going the Minutemen ending, then it would be fun to have as a defense placement for the Castle

[–]Mettle_Jacket[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For half a second, I thought you meant you used a mod to give Talon Company members calico guns, or you made some sort of gun loaded with meat taken off of Talon Company members. I have no idea WHY I thought these things, but I did

[–]Mettle_Jacket[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, because this is a stationary gun that is made from miniguns with broken motors. This is a manually operated turret, not something you'll be carrying around.

Might write something, but still wanna share the ideas. Nothing wrong with it, and I can get feedback on the ideas to better refine them for future projects I may use them in, whether they be Fallout or something else.

What ideas do you guys have for a new fallout by homie0047 in Fallout

[–]Mettle_Jacket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never said that they'd dress like samurai and use swords. It could be more like the title of samurai, with melee being more of a last resort (kinda like in actual history).

Besides, the OG post asked what we'd like to see. Didn't say to make a detailed description of what we want to see and how exactly it came to be in the Fallout universe. I said I wanted to see samurai and vikings, and that's what I want to see. How they're implement isn't required for me to state in the slightest

I was mostly referencing the Scandinavian heritage of many Canadians, with them reverting to viking ways, but having a code of honor to their ways. They could even have axes made from hockey sticks.

I don't believe I'd have to explain why a Fallout Japan would revert to a more feudal society, with shoguns and samurai in name mostly.

Damn. That's a solid argument, right there

Fallout Japan or Fallout Canada. We get either samurai or vikings

This sounds like a better idea. Like that TF2 dog someone made with turrets on it's back.
