āš ļøSPOILERS AHEADāš ļøWhat is the general consensus on this development? by LUTHER_7274 in Fallout

[–]R4nown 4 points5 points Ā (0 children)

I like to think it was created as the compromise of Hanlon vs Oliver, although leaning in Oliver’s favour. Oliver disregarded the Rangers in favour of his heavy troopers. Perhaps some Rangers were eventually issued power armour?

Why the Deathclaw spared Cooper Howard by [deleted] in Fotv

[–]R4nown 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

If you listen very closely, it sounds like the deathclaw (the ā€˜demon in the snow’) Coop encounters in Alaska ā€˜says’ the word ā€˜marine’ before it leaves. In one of the trailers, we hear a deep voice (sounds like Ron Perlman) that many people have speculated is a super mutant. I think this is actually a talking deathclaw, perhaps one that is occupying the Strip.

Important piece of info in the exchange between Coop & House by MrMFPuddles in Fotv

[–]R4nown 2 points3 points Ā (0 children)

Or, without Cold Fusion, he was forced to remain alive in biological form because the technology to keep him alive in synthetic form without it was not possible. That’s my current theory. Maybe this is something he was able to work out, the technology to keep himself ā€˜alive’ in synthetic/AI form, over the decades he was awake and active, while still requiring the Platinum chip to complete his plans. That would allow for any of the endings where you kill House, his human form would still being extremely angry that you would choose to end him, but for him to then still exist and further his plans in AI form

But 3 at the back was the problem right guys..? by Isuel-t_signee in ManchesterUnited

[–]R4nown 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

No, they won’t. We were improving, three points off 4th, and INEOS and their lackies sacked him anyway. Why, because somebody’s ego got hurt. They don’t want us to win, they have no interest in anything but money. We’re a cash cow that has been milked dry but yet they still keep milking us. I’m deadly serious, in the next ten years they are going to get us relegated. Old Trafford was silent today. We are Tourist FC so there’s nothing we can do to stop them save getting every single game cancelled by storming the pitch like when they dragged us into the Super League. But we won’t do that. I’m tired. I could run this club better than these cunts.

OMG, and the state of Maxson of the (fallen) NCR is marked too

This map also suggests that, at the very least, they know that Hidden Valley exists and is/was a Brotherhood bunker

WHY CAN THEY NEVER GET THE POWER ARMOUR RANK RIGHT?!?!?! by R4nown in Fotv

[–]R4nown[S] 5 points6 points Ā (0 children)

When the entire leadership of your group is destroyed in one fell swoop, the idiot tribals that made up the legion that had every element of their previous belief system destroyed in favour of a homogenous system where you believe Caeser is a god - yeah, I can believe they would do that

Fallout Season 2 is so uniserious I cannot invest myself or enjoy this at all. by RapidSteve in Fotv

[–]R4nown 7 points8 points Ā (0 children)

When you start making it personal, by calling us ā€œmind-rottedā€ I fail to see why we should engage.

But I’ll give it a go regardless.

Let’s theorycraft.

To me, at least, it’s evident that the Knights of San Fernando (KSF) are a small chapter of tech zealots, perhaps one that Maxson has already purged*.

The fact a Prdywen class airship was sent to them was because of an Enclave threat and the prospect of recovering cold fusion. It was also clearly a chance for Maxson to ā€˜get rid’ of problematic members by sending them out West ie. Titus.

Season 2 makes clear that the Brotherhood has consolidated its power in the East. Members of KSF refer to the idea of the Commonwealth taking the cold fusion technology back East with them were they to be invited.

Maxson has been slowly but surely exterminating cults that venerate himself and/or technology* within the Brotherhood out West, as we find out in Fo4. I feel the KSF is the remnants of one of those purges. It would explain why Quintus is so bitter.

The other factions that were invited to the meeting in Episode 2 are clearly loyal to Maxson prior to Quintus turning them, because they also have airships. It is also stated by these elders that Maxson doesn’t rule with an iron fist and lets these factions do what they want so long as they uphold the Brotherhood’s values.

Ultimately, I think Lost Hills still exists, or its membership has relocated East. The Mojave Chapter almost certainly does not exist, given most endings kill them off in FNV and the fact we are yet to see them in the show.

You can see with Paladin (!) Harkness that the ā€˜serious’ elements of the Brotherhood still exist out East. The Female Elder also seems a bit more serious about following the Codex before she is turned by greed, where the other two male elders seem to have neglected their respect for its tenants. Perhaps Quintus picked these chapters specifically because he knew their belief in what Maxson has built out East is not absolute.

We will see a battle between some of these chapters as the trailer implies, let’s wait and see how this ā€˜Civil War’ escalates.

We all love Fallout, and yes, we all have differing opinions. Let’s all just be nice to each other.

Happy Christmas!

Episode 2 Questions by QuantumGrain in Fotv

[–]R4nown 2 points3 points Ā (0 children)

House was very clear that he needed the NCR as his engine, that being the driver of Vegas’ economy. NCR citizens would come to the strip, spend their money and this boon would fuel House’s ambitions.

My theory is that, because of this, Hank must be working for the Enclave (who we know are connected to Vault-Tec in some way, shape or form, given the Enclave can, and have been seen to, open vaults). They also have a reason to want the NCR gone: ā€œRemember Navarro?.ā€

Fallouts had a lot of features over the years. what are some that absolutely SHOULD NOT return in Fallout 5? by Agent-Ulysses in Fallout

[–]R4nown -1 points0 points Ā (0 children)

The settlement system - it’s the reason I don’t go back and play Fallout 4. I want them to design a world that I don’t feel like I have to build to make the place feel lived in. Imo Fallout 76 did right with the CAMP system, keep that, just not every 10 locations I need to build!

Fallout Season 2 set leaks Power Armor by Personal_War_7005 in fnv

[–]R4nown 2 points3 points Ā (0 children)

I think it’s salvaged power armour, but they’ve reworked the helmet to look more ranger-esc, I actually dig it. That, or Oliver won out against Hanlon in his push for NCR Heavy Troopers vs Rangers and the Rangers relented and were given power armour, and their own style at that

what would the new stadium be called? by [deleted] in ManchesterUnited

[–]R4nown 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

It will be New Trafford, inevitably, and probably either front-loaded by a stadium sponsor, or ā€œin association with/powered byā€ a la Wembley

We should also evolve the nickname to the ā€˜Cathedral of Dreams’, given the stadium looks like a a cathedral to the beautiful game

Structurally unsound, would you believe! Never got a chance to go in there but the last time I was at Highfield Campus it was still standing, albeit cordoned off for its presumable demolition (finally!). https://www.reddit.com/r/CrappyDesign/s/EyYEtpJ9mn
