Fallout 4:
>God dammit you mercenary motherfucker, where is my son?
>In 100 years, when I die, I hope I go to hell just so I can kill you all over again.
>"Strong learn secret to human power from Mack Beth. Milk of human kindness. Strong will find milk. Strong will drink milk. Strong will have secret power of humans."
Fallout New Vegas:

Fallout is still prime b8 around here
>Hello I'd like a pizza and a calzone name is "fuck you"
I didn't realize the fo4 protagonist was donte
I dont get it
>>319275490
New Vegas dialogue is corny garbage
>>319275337
Yeah its one thing fallout 4 did right: actually giving reason for companions to follow you.
In new vegas this eyebot follows you because you fixed it?????
Sniper dude thats guarding the town will follow you because?????
>>319275515
Was that a sarcastic dialogue choice?
>>319275598
>Curie follows you because you opened a door
>Piper follows you because you opened a door
>Hancock follows you because you stop breaking walls
>>319275515
>>319275598
Because you helped him kill the woman who sold his wife into slavery? Did you even play the game, you faggot?
>>319275750
>shitposters
>playing vidya
Fallout 4
>Short yes
>Long yes
>No (actually yes)
>Sarcastic yes
Wow
>new vegas speech options matter
>>319275337
"and I'm jango, the moon monkey"
>>319275598
>MacCready follows you because you give him enough money for 1 stimpak.
>Dogmeat follows you because you pet him once
>Cait follows you because an idiot ghoul said to.
shitposters don't even try no mo senpai
>>319275857
>I like reading instead of experiencing great performances
embarrassing
>new vegas has great writing
If the brotherhood had a list of all synths why dont they notice curie?
>>319276052
This is still one of my favorite lines.
so why isd it after being in a vault for 200 years the first thing you do is start looking for your kidnapped son as if it just happened last week?
>>319276052
I wish all games were like this. This is GOTY-tier writing.
>>319276280
Because youwere frozen for the entire 200 years and them busting in to steal your boy did only just happen to your perspective.
>>319276052
>These assholes talk like assholes what the fuck
>pick "sarcastic" in fallout 4
>my character angrily threatens nick valentine, 100% serious
what the fuck
also I encourage anyone still playing fallout 4 for whatever reason to use the fixed dialog mod, it really shows how few fucks bethesda gave
>>319276463
but you ind out almost straight away its been 200 years at the very least tell people who are not sure how old he is
>>319276523
They really could've just "fixed" it by adding a "yes" or "no" at the end of "sarcastic".
>>319277039
There is no yes or no to that dialogue.
After nick does the memory thing with you he talks to you, initially with Kellogg's voice.
Picking sarcastic makes your character scream
>You wanna go motherfucker round two right now
There's nothing sarcastic about the sarcastic option
>>319276052
Obsididrones obviously like cock up their ass
>>319275337
It's
>YEEEAAH! Who won the lottery? I DID!
Anyone got the 'tag-teamed by giant fuckbots' line?
Fallout 4:
Who are you?
>Im your promdate u ugly sack of shit
>Fuck you
>WHERE IS MY SOOOOOOOOOOOOOON IL FUCKING KILL YOU
>Hi there my young fellow. I seem to have misplaced my progeny. Could you assist me?

>>319275337
So what are some of the themes incorporated in Fallout 4? Were there any apparent ones that you immediately noticed?
>>319275620
X) HATE SARCASM
>>319276016
So that's a sarcastic yes?
>>319276052
Now that I think about it, I wonder how may people got triggered by cook cook.
>>319275750
That's not why he follows you. He thanks you for what you did and it's why he's leaving town, but the reason for following you boils down to "got nothing else to do lol".
>Mack Beth
>>319278163
Fallout 4 represents humanity's eternal struggle to search for duct tape
>>319275857
Can't have outdated concepts like 'choice' derail our EPIC storyline after all
>Yes?
>[Speech 50]No
Fallout new Vegas is the only game I've played where you need speechcraft to be able to TELL THE TRUTH.
>>319276052
I really liked Little Buster for some reason.
>>319275515
>>319278853
He was pretty good. NV has it's ups and downs, to be fair. Some dialog is good, some is laughable, especially in the rare occasions when the Courier tries to sound badass (I'm looking at you, Terrifying Presence).
>>319278849
You need speechcraft to convince someone of the truth.
Oh, I'm sorry were you memeing?
>>319275515
You bet it is, the whole wasteland subsists off Maize plantations.
>>319279032
And if you aren't an accomplished speaker, the game forces you to lie. It's retarded and not up for debate, don't even try.
>>319276052
It's funny because Fallout 4 has no mention of rape or sex whatsoever.
Even when you have sex the word or something that implies it is never used, it's so fucking absurd.
In the post apocalypse there are no prostitutes, no rapes, nothing, everyone lives in a childlike fantasy.
Just kidding go blow that raider's head just because, what you want to talk to him? Nope just kill him.
>>319279089
It doesn't force you to lie, you can always fail the speech check.
I swear /v/ hasn't ever played an RPG in their lives.
>>319278849
It's the way RPGs have worked even before they were videogames.
>tell truth
>The guy doesn't want to believe you
>Roll under your charisma to see if you can convince guy
>>319276052
>Pretty Sarah got raped and cooked
>Corporal Betsy got raped so hard that she turned into a dyke
>thats not to mention the countless amount of wasteland women and little girls that he has raped, tortured, burned and eaten.
>>319279089
>And if you aren't an accomplished speaker, the game forces you to lie. It's retarded and not up for debate, don't even try.
No it doesn't. The NPC will simply not accept the truth from a poor speaker.
>>319279089
>implying entire civilizations weren't built and sustained by maize in history ever
>>319279349
I don't think there's many different ways to answer "No" that you'd need speech skills for it.
>>319279497
>what is entonation, voice consistency and body language
You can say "No" really guiltily if you don't control your voice and stuff like eye contact right.
>>319279497
There are at least two: convincingly and unconvincingly.
>>319278732
Duct Tape?
>>319279337
>Oh I'm sorry I thought your friends back there were trying to throw me a BBQ
Shishkebabby
>>319279718
I'm guessing you haven't played the game
Fallout 4 is a junk hoarding simulator and the main quest (and theme) of the game is to search for duct tape and other adhesive materials
>>319279497
>Did you break into this house?
>speech [34/50] W-What? Nooooo of course I didn't
>speech [50/50] No. And here's how I can prove it
Even if you didn't do it, people aren't going to believe you if you sound and act guilty
>>319279143
>He thinks the shitty rating system wouldn't prevent this
>>319278732
until you learn to plant three vegetables and then you never need duct tape
>>319278732
KEK you got a 9 for that↗
>In 100 years, when I die, I hope I go to hell just so I can kill you all over again.

The fun thing is that Terrifying Presence was bound to Speech, so that even a 1 to 3 STR Character who can't even decently lift up an rifle, could intimidate the fuck out of some NPCs by only his/her words.
Words that kill indeed.
>>319278583
>Have sweet military gig
>Get gorgeous wife
>Settle down with wife and best friend/brother-in-arms in a little town
>Wife gets nabbed by legion raiders who knew exactly what to do/where to go
>Must have had someone on the inside
>Could've been anyone, even my best friend
>Guy comes along, agrees to help, brings a woman to the agreed upon place
>In a murderous rage I kill her
>The drifter provides proof that assuages my guilt at the killing. But still I don't want to stay here
>But I have nowhere to go
"Maybe I'll become a drifter, like you"
It's not that he has nothing better to do - he wants to get away from Novac, back on the road, and just drift. You actually have to convince him through dialogue to join you.
Although I will say that "Every sniper needs a spotter" or whatever the skill-test dialogue choice was isn't really something you I'd expect someone of above-average intelligence to convince him with
