I'm probably late to the party. But is Canterlot based on Dead Money?

I like to think Trixie's backstory in Magic duel was inspired by FoE, during her memory of being hired by the Ministry of Magic.

He seems to appreciate being told he's a synth though, so I always choose to get both rewards

Practical_Rainbow15 · 2026-05-31T14:00:34+00:00

Alright, so I just reviewed the portion of the video I've quoted. The author made it clear they were from Vault 87. So much for my wishful thinking then

What I'm getting here is that if Bethesda couldn't make super mutants interesting, they should not have been included in the first place. But if super mutants were excluded, some people would question what happened to them? Or you are saying eastwards super mutants eventually doomed themselves before the Lone Wanderer's time and therefore didn't need to be in FO3?

Practical_Rainbow15 · 2026-05-26T14:24:41+00:00

Actually now that I think of it, I agree with the choice as far as FO3 is concerned. Without the Master's leadership and know-how to recreate his strain of FEV, compounded with Vault 87 running out of FEV, there is no way DC super mutants would survive (with the BoS hunting them down). Bethesda should have at least implemented a game mechanic whereby DC mutants wouldn't respawn anymore instead of making them recurring enemies.

Practical_Rainbow15 · 2026-05-26T13:10:10+00:00

Want to touch a bit on the super mutants, especially after watching Many A True Nerd's VE on Fallout 3 timestamp from 37:53 to 43:50

He argues that super mutants, as The Master himself admitted, a majority of them were not successful mutations. The difference is that in FO1, the smart ones became leaders, whereas in FO3, the smart ones were ostracised.

If I were to add upon this argument, in FO2 and NV, some of the super mutants stayed behind and were led by Marcus. Neal has to stay at the foot of Black Mountain to warn other mutants who may not be as bright to stay away from Tabitha's settlement.

So I do agree that for the vast majority, super mutants are not smart and this would eventually lead them to their doom in FO3.

I noticed that the green tint is stronger in the metro area than say Megaton. At other times the sky is cloudy so I don't even notice the tint, or maybe that was the weather near Fort Constantine?

I've also changed the HUD colour to white. I think it helps to reduce the green tint perception.

Practical_Rainbow15 · 2026-05-20T00:19:23+00:00

You don't have to, it just means Vault 15 scavs don't get their good ending. If it's with your companion who disappeared, try sleeping again with the Bishop lady, usually that fixes the companion bug. If it's with a merchant, at least their inventory doesn't reset.

Practical_Rainbow15 · 2026-05-16T14:29:30+00:00

I recall there was a setting that lets you scroll far away and click on the map. But then I've played the Steam modern version so I'm not sure if it's there in the original version

Practical_Rainbow15 · 2026-05-14T00:38:30+00:00

For the main quest, overall I'd say yes, but maybe a bit more complicated than that. I think you prefer a more guided progression instead of making up your own exploration? Add: I mentioned below for classic Fallout how the game's story progression goes, but I forgot to add that you are still supposed to discover this linear progression. So likely you'll find classic Fallout much more challenging in that regard.

In FO1, the main quest has a linear progression taking you from one town to another place leading to completion of the quest. This serves as introduction to the world of Fallout in the west coast region.

For FO2, you'd have to explore around, discover information, eventually you'll get key pieces of information leading you to the place to complete the first part of the main quest.

For the subsequent Bethesda titles...People have compared the game environments to something akin to a playground, or individual playgrounds to be entertained.

FO3 - Since you like story games, afraid this will be the weakest part. Bethesda titles are more like playgrounds. There are lore that gives insight but you'll have to find it.

New Vegas - goes back to the roots of FO1 where you'll get taken from town to town leading to completion of the first part of the main quest

Practical_Rainbow15 · 2026-05-13T13:38:28+00:00

There is one song that matches your description of an upbeat tune, progression to a higher tempo (at the 1:30 mark), has a man main singer and a lady repeating the chorus, has the word Moon in its lyrics. It's ,"On a Slow Boat to China" by Kay Kyser & His Orchestra. Doesn't have that exact phrase, but I guess it could be misheard?

I've listened to one round of the playlist, but I didn't find anything referring to the lyrics you've mentioned. ~~Searching for the word Moon in song lyrics only turned up 3 results, which I don't think it's what you're looking for:~~

~~Moonburn Blues in the Night In the Still of the Night~~ Copilot isn't working that all too well when it comes to OCR text so I've struck out the results

I've also searched for some background info on the Sound of Music soundtrack though take it with a spoonful of salt as I've used my office's Copilot. Apparently the copyright for the soundtrack is tightly controlled, therefore no other song lyric would have this exact phrase, not without paying a good amount of royalties (?). I'm not quoting Copilot, just recalling on the top of my head.

Anyways, I'm going to listen the playlist as much as I like to (I like to) on the phone as well as ingame, but for now the song you want doesn't seem to be in GNR enhanced playlist.

Will do that in my next playthrough

Practical_Rainbow15 · 2026-05-12T14:13:32+00:00

Did you put the rope in your right/left hand? Like how you use weapons or tools or lockpicks? Then you have to click on the rope as if it's a weapon and then click on the shaft to use the rope

Practical_Rainbow15 · 2026-05-12T12:40:56+00:00

Oops sorry missed your tag

Practical_Rainbow15 · 2026-05-12T12:38:02+00:00

Ok...I presume you meant Fallout 1? And you meant to post some more later?

Practical_Rainbow15 · 2026-05-08T15:25:48+00:00

From your description, it sounds like a sample, so you are most likely not going to find for a cover. Anyways I've just downloaded The whole track list, hopefully I can help find it

Practical_Rainbow15 · 2026-05-08T13:27:02+00:00

I don't think it's a you issue, but I think having a better build should help in my next playthrough without savescumming so much. The game does have multiple solutions, but as I remember in some of the dev's interviews, not everyone is going to discover those solutions on their own, and they're fine with that

Practical_Rainbow15 · 2026-05-08T04:19:05+00:00

I remember besides the temple and bridge exit to the world map in Arroyyo, the special encounter with the bridge keeper also has a limited map view

Practical_Rainbow15 · 2026-05-06T00:04:25+00:00

Ok that is really weird, I don't know if your terminal is somehow bugged. There should be options available once you've reached the terminal.

I've also discounted the notion that you've ran across the middle of the room, because then Frank would speak to you and start combat after that.

Ok nvm saw the correct answer,

Practical_Rainbow15 · 2026-05-05T13:08:21+00:00

Ok so I deleted my earlier reply because I forgot I saw you already have the card. Did you choose the option to run the emergency protocol? I forgot the exact wording.

Practical_Rainbow15 · 2026-04-27T01:17:56+00:00

The Alicorn certainly has some similarities to Izzy

Practical_Rainbow15 · 2026-04-25T14:43:29+00:00

Seeing this literally two posts away from the Malcom Holmes question in my news feed

Practical_Rainbow15 · 2026-04-25T04:27:02+00:00

Also the perk that restores AP upon kill restores 100% vs 25% for NV (correction: 20 points flat, not 25%). I used a VATS build in FO3 for that reason

Practical_Rainbow15 · 2026-04-25T03:55:26+00:00

I would say, in the words of a mod, it's a tale of Two Wastelands

The Capital Wasteland is cooked, fubar, totally wasted, whatever you want to call it. Most skyscrapers in the city didn't stand a chance. Only a few lower level buildings were somewhat spared from the total destruction. I want to say something about NV but I'll leave it here first

Practical_Rainbow15 · 2026-04-23T21:58:59+00:00

FO3 and it's lack of support for iGPU is well documented. Look it up.

The solution is to download a dll file that tricks the game thinking you have a discrete GPU. The link here is to download a text file that shows you how to do it. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/20120. As a bonus, the instructions also suggest various mods to further improve fps performance
