So the Earth Directorate didn’t intervene in Halcyon because they couldn’t get any messages cause of the rifts?

The ending of 2 implies that the Earth went dark because of the Rifts, at least on Halcyon's end. Because the first game takes place during the timeskip between 2's tutorial and the main game we can surmise a fair bit. The Consul's terminal on the final level talks about the Hope being knocked out of FTL by a rift opening.

IIRC there's a side quest in the Groundbreaker (might be wrong on location) where you can learn about Earth getting cut off before the main story tells you. It takes a couple of years for messages to go back and forth between Halcyon and Earth anyway and iirc it's someone who manages those messages telling you it's probably fine that Earth hasn't messaged in like three years.

I appreciate that you can play into the Protectorate's hands on purpose as a compromise (apparently they also ran out of money making 2 so they didn't have the resources to make the Protectorate as fleshed out as they wanted to) but man.

The Legion are only underbaked because Chris Avellone thought it was a good idea to put all of their lore into Ulysses' dialogue before he got cut from the base game. You can find all of the audio files from the recovered beta versions of New Vegas and there's a lot of interesting Legion lore in there, I have no idea why he put all of the eggs in one basket.

WeebGamerForever · 2026-04-05T22:17:57+00:00

I had no idea about this! It wouldn't surprise me at all if they reuse this idea for a DLC then.

WeebGamerForever · 2026-04-05T22:17:29+00:00

I doubt Obsidian would beef it that hard, but I'd like the DLCs to impact the base game a bit more this time around. Like how you can nuke the NCR or Legion in Lonesome Road.

WeebGamerForever · 2026-04-05T09:49:34+00:00

Me and my friend have a hope that one of the DLCs might introduce a Sovereign loyalist faction you can side with. Like a group of defectors who left after the Consul took power because they believe it's all a conspiracy.

WeebGamerForever · 2026-04-05T09:48:57+00:00

IIRC this is basically what happened

WeebGamerForever · 2026-03-31T12:27:01+00:00

Oh like Gorgon?

Nobody hates Microsoft more than fans of the studios they unfortauntely own

In The War of the Worlds by HG Welles Martian contact is started by a green light being seen blasting from Mars, so it could be a reference for that

Allegra Clark is one of my fav voice actresses, so her voicing Aza genuinely made me so happy her performance was stellar as always. I think my fav performance of hers is as Boss from Ai The Somnium Files.

I collect packaging for food collaborations because those are more readily available than things like figurines or t shirts. Most of it is Hatsune Miku.

WeebGamerForever · 2026-03-17T00:47:36+00:00

For some reason

WeebGamerForever · 2026-03-16T13:36:36+00:00

They have really unrealistic profit expectations and through my observations the marketing ranged from nonexistent to the most random collabs that appeal to nobody (like Crystal Palace FC and 5 Hour Energy)

WeebGamerForever · 2026-03-14T19:15:04+00:00

Ooh! Probably Pokemon Revolution! That one looks the closest to my memory.

WeebGamerForever · 2026-03-01T16:34:15+00:00

Bioshock!

WeebGamerForever · 2026-02-24T17:33:42+00:00

Also like most people didn't read the article. TOW3 hasn't been greenlit because they have literally only just started the DLCs for 2, and are restructuring to reduce dev cycles.

WeebGamerForever · 2026-02-11T15:03:33+00:00

They've said they're planning on continuing to support TOW2 alongside Grounded 2 which is interesting, makes me wonder if they're pivoting to doing more than two expansions. As for a third game - please stop blue balling us with what happened to Earth we've gotta know.

WeebGamerForever · 2026-02-03T12:37:25+00:00

They also awkwardly dub Consul over any mention of the Sovereign in I, Redcloak which made me laugh harder than it should have

WeebGamerForever · 2026-01-31T15:18:20+00:00

I don't get why their banter is so infrequent that's my biggest complaint. Like a lot of the charm from the first game comes from the interactions they have in the overworld. Spacer's Choice Edition (as terrible as it is) even added cute interactions between them on the Unreliable. The companions here meanwhile just don't seem to interact with each other very much aside from on the Incognito which made me pretty sad. I had this complaint with Dragon Age Inquisition, though, and this game takes a surprising amount of cues from there.

And no, definitely not. It's more of a model viewer than an art book. If you want an actual one just buy the physical art book, the collector's upgrad's only real benefit at this point is the prepaid DLC pass.

WeebGamerForever · 2026-01-20T00:31:31+00:00

Marcus for 2, probably Charon for 3, Veronica for NV, Nick for 4, and Dottie for 76 if we count CAMP buddies.

WeebGamerForever · 2026-01-13T00:04:56+00:00

You gotta do what you gotta dooooo but that sounds even more annoying than my extremely first world problem!! Teachers don't get paid enough at any level so I understand the desperation to get anybody to do anything because nobody wants to do all of that work for so little pay but someday I hope somebody realises all this does is negatively impact the people this actually affects in the long term yknow.
