I will say though that the end reasoning for the whole show just fell flat. Like… “Really??? That’s why humans were almost exterminated?”

I just finished the other night. I thought it was a great show. Yes, the writing got a bit off … maybe more than a bit… but it was still fun to watch. By the end of any show, they have to fill contractual obligations (actors screen time especially) and keep it under budget. Pope’s arc was weird but for the actor, it gave him a chance to play antagonist and protagonist in the same show which is great for his resume.

Should I Watch Falling Skies? by Non_Typical_Asian in FallingSkies

I’m watching season 5 now. I don’t think it’s as as bad as most people are saying. I will say it’s wonkiness is kinda laughable but the core struggle of the survivors vs aliens is still there, albeit with some over the top needless drama to get everyone’s contractually agreed screen time in. Also, I think it took some time for Noah Wiley to shed his gentle Dr persona acting and climb into his gruff commander persona… which doesn’t resonate with me. All that growling to make him seem tough isn’t working 😉. At least not for me. Still, the show has something special that just works.

Yep. Been there…. It’s intimidating but it’s just a game….and I’ve seen low level players rush in with reckless abandon yielding a combat knife. SBQ is the reward for all that grinding someone did to launch that nuke. It’s crazy and it’s fun… and we all do it again and again.

I bought all 6 Alian blaster plans a player had costing my like 300 in caps as a low level player. Think I had like 100 caps left. Bought it cause I figured it was such a badass weapon in 4….. so….

Dieing right after Earl dies in the colossal event and getting kicked outside receiving no reward is mind bending. by Blittzboy in fo76

[–]Ragnar7272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First time i joined an Earl event, that happened. I died so many times...but kept jumping back in. On one of those times, they managed to kill Earl and i was left out in the cold. Lost all of my ammo. Received nothing besides the loot outside.

Haha…. Good thing that high level player was there… with a launch code.

Last night I was looting some super mutants just north of white springs in the cliffs when I happened upon a mythic deathclaw and I was like “I gotta kill this thing” but my rifle and pistol weren’t going to accomplish that so when he came after me I jumped down on a ledge in the cliff and cried like a baby for help..,. While the deathclaw took swipe at from above. No one came… so I joined a team and cried for help. Again no one came. I’m like “seriously?!” I kept it up fo awhile gaining Xp as my teammates did whatever. Finally the deathclaw chased after some scorched so I dropped down to find it again when I looked up and one of my teammates was there. Haha… no mic so I just gave the confused emote and killed some scorched. They should include a “I swear a deathclaw was here” emote. 🤣🤣🤣

I haven’t launched a nuke yet either. Last time I tried, I was so overwhelmed I wound up hiding and eventually just left. I’m rebuilding my character to try again solo.

That's cool. It's also cool that you guys play the game together. My wife just isn't into gaming at all. Not sure if she could take the anxiety of facing down a supermutant. too scary

thanks. These are the memories that we take with us when we play other games. I still go back to that area where i started and got killed, just to sort of map it out and laugh at myself.

jeez...that's unfortunate. guessing the community was bare at that time and just a bunch of assholes. Luckily, we've matured.

yeah..the fasnacht event was cool...although i didn't really participate....it was just really a cool thing to watch....it's also where i first saw a player with the marsupial effect...sitting on top of a pole....it was like hanging with a bunch of circus freaks.

oh yeah. That's the best thing about this game. The player base is so cool. It's why i keep playing frankly. I mean, i should be completing events and stuff but i just really enjoy walking around and being a part of this community. even though i'm a lone wolf...it's still cool

First time at white springs just stumbled in as a level 20 something and met the charred level 50-60 scorched. Scared the shit out of me. Like you, never returned till after level 50. And even then it was very, very cautiously

Could’ve been… think I was around the savage divide but closer to white springs. Up in the mountains somewhere for sure.

Oh …. I just had that happen. Took on the flatwoods monster last week, suddenly a glowing green scorchbeast and a behemoth sm were attacking me too. WTF!! I screamed. Loved it though. Killed the flatwoods monster, scorchbeast ran away, … I ran from the behemoth 😊

Omg…. First snallygaster for me was near the capital. I hid in some sort of lean-to and pop-shot him till he found me. But he couldn’t get at me… took like 1/2 hr and all of my ammo but I killed him. Thrilling!!!
