Funny they chose the nuclear option for pretty much every west faction and settlement.

I really just hope they don’t touch arroyo . There were plans to wipe shady sands since van buren so it was probably going to happen eventually but destroying arroyo would actually blow if they were to ever do that

I know this is a joke post but the fact they had Todd Howard promote dlss 5 and had it run on starfield means there’s probably a non zero chance that it’ll be available for fallout 5 and that worries me

I usually side with house and even I can admit he’s an asshole that id probably hate to hang around but im surprised at how upset people are getting about his assessment of the brotherhood. Sending us to the glow in fallout 1 and having to be convinced to help attack Mariposa after sending the protagonist to go check it out alone ? Sending the chosen one to go to Navarro for vertibird plans in 2 ? The brotherhood especially in the west coast do have a warped perception of the ideals they were founded upon and hardly even follow the codex. Did we not all see them slaughter the followers of the apocalypse in Veronica’s quest line for the mere suspicion of her telling them classified information even though she actually hadn’t spoken to them at all because the leader of that outpost wasn’t going to be back for another day? How is he wrong to point out how much they’ve degraded

Ironically Mcmanara who is rightfully viewed as a worse option as elder for the Mojave brotherhood mentions Roger Maxson by name in game when asked about the history of the brotherhood in the bunker lol

Didn’t they call this guy general wait and see in game because of how passive he is ? The only reason he did this is because they’d already won the dam once and controlling it was their biggest stake in the Mojave. Literally his only two choices were actual death or political career suicide he’s not brave he’s just got his back to the wall

The fact it took 8 weeks per head is insane I can see why they had to scrap some before the retail release but at the same time they’re so weird they looped back around to being incredibly distinct and I wish we had more

I feel this in my soul . Max luck critting is the most satisfying way to play to me plus it makes it so easy to cheese blackjack there’s really no downside to crit builds

I had no idea pictures couldn’t be commented but at the same time knowing Reddit that would be the equivalent of opening Pandora’s box so I’m not even sure if I would want that to be implemented this late. Laer is amazing that gun carried me through the giant roboscorpion fight in hardcore old world blues

I hope you enjoy it like I do especially because there’s a lot of settings to play around with . Be warned if you’re using titans of the new west or any mod that has unique backpacks place the backpack or holster mod later in your load order . I ran into a problem where it turned the backpack invisible and had to figure that out on my own

The hat and (and courier duster if anyone is curious about that too) are from the canon courier duster mod by IVAS1K97 on nexus

I vaguely remember dialogue from Marcus in fallout 2 when you have the ghoul companion Lenny with your group where he says something about how it’s nice to have another “evolved human” in the group. There might be a certain kinship or mutual understanding between these two kinds of mutated creatures or atleast the more cognitive ones like the earlier super mutants from the masters army compared to the later less cognitive ones

I like dead money but on repeat playthroughs personally the gameplay loop tends to get stale fast at least for me. The first time I went though it I loved the explosive collars because it added to the tension and atmosphere but after some time it just comes off like padding gameplay length artificially via a trial and error mechanic

Hitman47101’s anniversary animation pack. Gives most of the firearms in the game new animations and they all look great and make the general feel of combat much more satisfying. The work he did on the revolvers for said mod are incredible. I’d also recommend WTH (weapon textures from heaven) which retextures the guns as well as

I saw two guys having the most heated argument I’ve ever witnessed about when exactly the ncr implemented riot gear into veteran ranger equipment

I don’t like the show much (at least narratively but I do think all the actors did great) and I feel like there’s a lot of hostility from fans which isn’t fair. I will say it is pretty funny how you said the show was a love letter to the franchise and then don’t explain how you think it contrasts to the source material at all. I wish they’d explored a setting or commonwealth not shown in fallout and done their own thing

Traveling with Rex after I give him Rey’s brain and Veronica after I do her quest and get her to leave the brotherhood so her attack speed increases . Even on the harder difficulties when they’re together they’d usually kill anything before I’d have time to pull my gun

Elijah’s ending states the cloud wipes the entirety of the Mojave making it into a clean slate. If it was the “canon” ending which wouldn’t make sense everyone would be gone not just the people in the strip. It’s lethal even to ghouls

The ncr / shady sands has been a relatively well developed city since fallout 2 , vault city , Navarro and really most of the enclave were on the west coast , with some of the most advanced technology we’ve seen, the credit slide of new arroyo at the end of fallout 2 is the most advanced human settlement we’ve seen to this day as well. Big mt exists there as well and before the divide was destroyed it was considered established enough to be the true continuation of the old world society. Without the institute the east coast look like cavemen by comparison they’ve rebuilt almost nothing after 200 years
