What was the problem everyone had with little lamplight?

I know that there were many flaws in Fallout 3,but what was so bad about Little Lamplight?
>>
>>320972404
I just played this game for the first time. It is too damn hard to find anyone. I resorted to waiting hour to hour for the mayor to walk by. Pain in my behind
>>
Nothing about it makes sense
>>
>>320972404
Nothing. It's a video game. Anything goes and makes sense if you use your imagination.

They just needed ammo for their autistic 3 vs NV debate which was just a repainted Obsidian vs Bethesda debate fueled by fanboys.
>>
>>320972872
Like what?
>>
>>320972404
Little Lamplight is the grand example of "le so randum what-ifs?"

it's a town run by toddlers and adults have to be send away to keep the "bloodline" clean.

this is a concept that can be come up with easily by literally everyone but hard to back it up with real-world facts, i.e. "how does LL stays populated" "how did the kids survive when super mutants live right next to them". etc

Bethdrones will say something along the lines of "UR AUTISTIC ITS A VIDEO GAME" but there's sometime it's just so ridiculous to the point that it's just straight up unbelievable.
>>
>>320972404
I didn't mind it but it made no fucking sense.
>>
You can't kill anyone in that town
>>
>>320973024
Nah, fans of Fallout, the Bethesda game series, will point out you're a nigger for not applying the same level of critical approach to the older games as well.
>>
>>320972953
The entire concept is ridiculous. They wouldn't be able to survive on their own in a cave, they don't have much of a logical reason to kick adults out, they would've been killed/enslaved already (theres actually a camp of slavers that live 2 minutes away, but they haven't attacked for some reason).
>>
Maybe the make the older kids breed before kicking them out
>>
>>320973024
>how does LL stays populated?

The kids from Bigtown get sent to LL.

Also,they had a huge barricade to stop Super Mutants from getting to them.
>>
>>320973270
>the old games are just as bad :^)
Not really helping Fallout 3's case
>>
>>320973437
Super Mutants can rip the doors off of a vault.

A shitty little barricade won't stop them.
>>
>>320973390
They have a big barricade at the front plus lots of guns. They are pretty well hidden aswell so maybe the Slavers don't even know there is anyone there.

As for surviving on their own,they had cave fungus growing that they used as food.

And as for kicking the adults out,there are a load of holotapes explaining it around LL. And that mentality of adults=bad stuck with them for the rest of their years because it was drilled into their minds.

I do remember passing through something to get to the super mutants but I don't think it's "huge".

at any rate, anything erected by kids wouldn't be durable and certainly won't last seconds against a fucking supermutant.

>why didn't the supermutant just attack before the barricade is built?

had the game taken place shortly after the war like it was originally supposed to it would have made sense. they were supposed to be a band of scouts that got trapped inside the cave.

Super mutants can break into vaults. They carry extremely heavy weaponry. How would a barricade stop them?
>>
>>320973437
>Also,they had a huge barricade to stop Super Mutants from getting to them.
That "huge barricade" was just some planks of wood and metal plates. I'm pretty sure Super Mutants could just climb over it.
And if it really was so effective, how come they couldn't stop Enclave, who are just regular humans?

Super Mutant children wouldn't work. that's why they wait for them to grow up and leave for bigtown before capturing them and turning them into one.

>>320973024
>"how did the kids survive when super mutants live right next to them"
The caves between Vault 87 and Little Lamplight are full of ruins of similiar structures found in Lamplight and littered with the skeletons of kids, it's heavily implied that LL got pushed back right up to that easily defendable gate

I assume you can view LL like an orphanage

>>
>>320973024
You just need to use your imagination. Considering the harsh conditions of living in the DC Wasteland it is no surprise there would be a never ending supply of abandoned kids that their parents couldn't take care of or worse. It's a no abortion world after all. LL patrols could be searching and picking them up. Super mutants were once human so they could have some lingering instincts like the one to not hurt children.

A better question is how did a group of shitty teens who grew up in a cave know to build houses? Do you think structural engineering and house planing is that simple?
>>
>>320973723
That reminds me: Wasnt there a similar situation in one of the New Vegas DLCs told entirely through holotapes?

Yeah well, the events leading to fallout 3 is like 200 years from the bombs dropped.

I would fully understand Little Lamplight if it's like 5-10 years after the bombs but 200 years without any issues?

There was this part where some guy was trapped in a flooded, rad-filled vault and you learnt about it from the tapes he dropped as you were going into that vault to retrieve something from it, in the end you have to make a decision that will finally release him or kill him.

>had the game taken place shortly after the war like it was originally supposed to
You know, this is something that bothered me about Fallout 3 and 4 (and possibly NV as well), that stuff looks like it is untouched for 200+ years. Like, go into a subway station, and there will be pre-war food on the table of the kiosk.

Never mind that it apparently didn't expire in that time, the bigger issue is why the raiders who are now using the station as a base haven't grabbed anything useful already. Or anyone in the past 200 years. I mean, there are "scavenger" NPCs that roam about, but they don't seem to be doing any scavenging at all.

The only one who finds useful stuff in the open is apparently the player, because everywhere he or she goes, there's leftover stuff from 200 years ago. You'd think everything had been cleaned out in all that time.

This bothered me a lot honestly. Makes it feel like just a couple of years have passed at maximum, not fucking 200.
>>
>>320975140
>But that's using your dark imagination.

It would be much better for them to at least offer a half-assed explanation then giving none at all.

They don't look pre-war at least they don't make much sense in the place they are on the map. Not to mention I think it is said in game they build the town for themselves.

>the game outright contradicts.

What does it contradict? It is already confirmed LL sent patrols of kids to scour the wastes. Why does it have to be just for food? It's not my fault the people living in the Wastes don't talk about it as being as bad as it actually is considering common logic.

Nope, the institute kinda just does random evil shit for no reason. Their REAL objective is to just isolate themselves and be self-sufficient as well as conduct SCIENCE. They sometimes send synths out to scavenge for them, but otherwise the synths are just there as a sort of slave labor. There are quests where they've randomly replaced people with synths so they can conduct scientific experiments on the surface, but there's no explanation why they couldn't just cooperate with the people directly, or make their very own synth-run farm instead of abducting (and apparently killing and replacing) random people.

Kind of a let-down honestly. The bad stuff they do is never once brought up if you join them, aside from the weird side-missions, but those don't ever bring up the moral considerations. It's like if Bethesda went:
"okay, so you support the institute now because of your son and because they have awesome technology. But that also means that you directly support murdering and replacing people at random, because you can't both have your cake AND eat it. Especially when you're the boss of the institute and should be able to change just such things. That's just not how things work."

Well in real life radiation doesn't really have any effect on you until your current cells start dying off and new ones won't be there to replace them.

There was a firefighter who got a lethal dose of radiation in Chernobyl and died in agony only a couple of days later.
That's how radiation worked in F1/2 as well, theoretically you could take in as many rads as you wanted but you wouldn't die until a few days later.

I'm guessing F3/4 wanted radiation to affect the PC in a more gamey way, but the science would still apply in terms of the lore.

Either that or Bethesda writers are a bunch of hacks.

There are plenty of settlements all across the Capital Wasteland that don't have any barricades at all, so why haven't Super Mutants (or Deathclaws, or Slavers, or literally anything else) killed all of them as well? Little Lamplight is actually one of the more competently protected towns.

Their whole dynamic (kicking out adults) doesn't make a lot of sense, but they're fucking children. Of course some of their ideologies are malformed, they kick out anyone who's brain has developed far enough to start questioning dogma.

LL is silly but it's not half as unbelievable as most people make it out to be.

Yeah, not sure why they moved ahead in time so much. Fallout 1 is set around 80 years after the war, and even that's a bit of a stretch, but 200? That's nuts. There's no reason why they couldn't just have set Fallout 3 even BEFORE Fallout 1 events, it's not like they're even connected story-wise.

Could be an AI thing, where they have an easy way to simulate a mind that can then be shaped easily, but is prone to "acting out", instead of programming everything directly, which would be too time-consuming and inefficient. That being said, it still doesn't make much sense that even after the synth project is obviously a fiasco, they still just continue, business as usual. In fact, the whole "terminator-synth" project is only there to deal with the rebel synths.

I also don't really understand how they breed down there. There are perhaps 20 scientists in total, how do they avoid inbreeding? Do they just SCIENCE it away, like magic?

How do the Vault 87 supermutants make more of themselves with no intelligent leadership? It took The Master years to perfect the dipping process

What experimental conditions were Vault-Tec trying to test by locking up a bunch of people with a massive amount of extremely dangerous mutagenic virus? How to kill the fuck out of everything as fast as possible?

How and why does Vault-Tec even have any FEV at all? Did Bethesda honestly confuse West-Tek with Vault-Tec?

How does Col Autumn get inside Vault 87?

Why is a GECK now a matter manipulation device and why is such a powerful tool being wasted on making a water purifier for water that shouldn't even be radioactive in the first place?

How does using an unstable and extremely dangerous GECK matter manipulation device that can easily explode and destroy everything around it make for a water purification system? Water filtration is infinitely easier than transmuting atoms.

How does Dad even know what a GECK is and plan a machine to use a component he has never seen or used before? He may as well have designed the water purifier to use unobtainium.

Why does your father design a purification machine that is capable of dumping all its radioactive filtrate into the control room as a "trap"? Was Dad a psychopath? How is the radiation trap even possible when the purifier is not even complete at that point and not active?

Where did the Jet in FO3 come from? There is no manufacturing capability nor any semblance of Brahmin ranching, especially considering that D.C. is supposedly a lifeless wasteland with zero resources, food, or water for no real reason.

What in the fuck is up with the Talon Company? Who in the fuck has enough resources and wealth in the D.C. hellhole waterless struggling wasteland to afford a clone army with unlimited resources? What is their purpose? How do they even work on a logistics basis?

Why does the East Coast use caps as currency? What are caps backed with?

Well, I think it's fair to say that prior to the bombs falling, every single house in America would have been very well stocked with canned goods. With more than 300 million people in America today (and the bombs falling further into the future still) that's easily billions of tins of canned food. Then the bombs dropped and killed most of the population (or turning them into Ghouls, who don't eat), leaving all that food behind.

And then the vast majority of the survivors were locked in Vaults for 20-30 more years still, at minimum (in general).

Would billions of tins of food last that long without being consumed? I don't know, but its certainly not beyond the realm of disbelief. I get the point about how easy the food is to find, but honestly that's just game balance.

What about that settlement a little away from lamplight where everyone was killed by super mutants?

The only places where people can live free from fear are those heavly defended areas, almost all shit shanty towns in the game got raped by super mutants one time or another.

And all you need is one kid who was expelled from LL telling some raiders about LL weak points for everyone in LL to be made in sex slaves.

You are basically telling capable work force to fuck off because "muh mungus", only the ghoul kid in the fridge can top this quality shitty writing.

And MY point is that there are LOTS of settlements that have less defensive capabilities than Vaults, yet somehow only Little Lamplight's existence is derided for it.

I get your point about a reduced population and hoarding beforehand, but that in no way makes up for it.

>Would billions of tins of food last that long without being consumed? I don't know
Are you being serious? There's fucking canned dog food that's over 200 years old, but apparently just fine to eat even though a standard expiration date is around a single year in the real world. Not to mention that "moldy food" that's basically just a plate with old bread and fucking FRUIT that's also apparently over 200 years old and fine for consumption, save for a few rads. It's RIDICULOUS.

>that's just game balance.
Right, because there would be NO other way to have food available, like through the local traders and farmers, right? Say, what did they do in Fallout 1? HMMMM!

It just doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Do you think scavengers would just take a couple of boxes and leave the rest? No, they would take EVERYTHING, move it top a secure location and then eat all of it in sequence over the next hundreds of years, not just take a single bag of cereal to keep the hunger at bay momentarily.
>>
>>320978498
I don't even get why they intentionally introduce the game, allowing you to make the decisions of an evil sociopath right off the bat, but then force you down a morally upright story path regardless.
I mean it's not like blowing up megaton is some super obscure easter egg, as soon as you go into McLafferty's, you are prompted to blow up it up, or decide not to.

What other settlements does Fallout 3 have, again?

I only remember the one built on top of the freeway bridge, but that was getting its shit kicked in by ghouls and raiders.

There is Eulogy Jone's little dig, but that place is armed out the asshole with guns

Tenpenny Tower I guess is defendable enough, given that it looks like its been reinforced and has a competent militia

There's the subway tunnel the not-vampires live in, that's a case of the super-mutants probably not knowing how to get there and it is a field of mines and bear traps

What was the name of the big trader town?

It is true that otherwise, the capital wasteland has been fucked. You have the pitt shitting out raiders for decades, the super mutants outnumbering normies at this stage, and the brotherhood would probably wipe out most of the population as collateral if they had a civil war.

Then the enclave shows up with muh new america

I can see why the BoS went full 40k

>>320979043
You'd be surprised at how few people actually bothered to pay attention to the dialogue/events of OWB and just thought Mobius was the exact supervillain he was pretending to be.
When I was trying to explain to a friend that Mobius was in the right, he assumed I was being some contrarian, like the fuckers who back Ceasar. I had to show him a video of all of Mobius' dialogue trees for him to understand what I was trying to say.

A town run only by children, which already strains belief considering the hellish mutant hole they're living in;

But then it's also in a fucking cave, with little to nothing in term of farming, supplies and generally ensuing a susteinable lifestyle (they never actively use the Vault as far as I remember)

AND it's located in a zone who've been established to be in the middle of a highly supermutant populated area, guys who've been known for ripping metal locked doors out like it's nothing and hunting people to eat

AND they banish everyone of age 16+ away, just as they're about to reach the peak of physical and mental acuity and could greatly contribute to LL safety and well-being

AND YET somehow they still manage to have enough children to keep sending out, again without any form of adult knowledge or machines or connections or trading.

The worst thing about Little Lamplight is how it forces you to work with the children and do what they tell you to if you can't pass the speech check.

Here's a thought: Maybe given how few ADULTS survive the Super Mutant's hatchet-job FEV dipping process, they realize that trying the process on children is pointless?

Or maybe they don't think children would make for good Super Mutants anyway, given their small size? A child mutie could never hold a Super Sledge or a Minigun. Would be a waste of effort even if they did somehow survive the transformation process.

>>
>>320972404
The problem isn't so much about how little sense it makes, but the compounded effect of how stupid it is and how little of it you can ignore.

First, the reason you have to go there is pretty stupid - wasting a GECK to repair a machine that is less useful than the GECK itself.
Then your ONLY path is blocked by this nonsensical town inhabited by presumptuous smug pricks, because your character can't kick down a flimsy wooden barrier.
THEN you have to do whatever they ask you, and as often happens in the game the only alternative is to do it while sulking. And why? Because you couldn't just smash through yet another flimsy barrier on your own - you needed two snotty brats to LIFT THE WALL WITH TWO CRANKS. And in order to do so, you have to wait for their slow asses to GET to the barrier too.
FINALLY, as icing on this insufferable cake, just as you're about to leave with the GECK you find out that your enemies managed to effortlessly avoid having to go through Little Lamplight and knock you out with a plot grenade you can't avoid in any way.

Fiction is for the most of part sleight of hand. If you don't have solid enough writing to properly explore a situation you shouldn't force the player to rub his face in it.

>how does LL stays populated
For much of human history, women had their first child at 13-15. It was only widespread education that pushed this back, hell this trend can still be seen in places where children as a whole aren't educated.

>women had their first child at 13-15

everyone and their dog fucking know this, the point is a) they send those able to bear child away at that age and b) sub-14 year old kids trying to aid in giving birth without any sort of medical education would result in a high infant mortality rate.

tl;dr LL is a viable settlement for 5-10 years but shouldn't exist for 200 fucking years under this system.
>>
>>320981331
Plus all the apparently edible food you can find 200 years later just like in 3. If Obsidian wanted to be as autistic about it as their fans are they would have removed them. They didn't and they had their gameplay reasons.

The problem I have with those rockets is that they are the most comical 50s comics type shit you can imagine. It's beyond any realism to expect that anyone would ever build a rocket like that let alone expect it to go to space. It's an absolute joke on their part because Fallout doesn't have to be realistic or always make sense. If it did they would have made it a Saturn V rocket or at least look like one.

Supermutants are using main entrance,because the fucking can(if you will try do it rads will kill you), while LL is cave,which happens to connect to vault 87.So muties probably don't even know about kids.

And many of them also died around that time, often for related reasons.

The kids aren't even the problem. New Vegas also had a tribe of kids, or their descendants at least. They just didn't make it fucking stupid by explaining they had some crazy old survivalist watching over them who gave them survival manuals and food caches. They also weren't "wacky kid rebels", they obviously escaped from a bording school or something.
>>
>>320982074
It's not exactly hidden either. Are you telling me that none of the million raiders, supermutants and mutant monstrosities ever went to check "that one big promising cave" in 150 or so years?

All it takes is one attempt by either of them (barring the monsters) to spread word about LL and make it a target, a town run by fucking kids would be the wet-dream of any raider and slaver out there.
>>
>>320982052
the MC knew they were going to die the moment he saw the rocket him/herself, he raise this fact to Jason (glowing one) and he assured that it's fine by them.

see, at least this matter is addressed, the MC knew they were going to most likely die and were just going in because the ghouls wanted him to help them.
>>
>>320982126
This annoys me, why are melee weapons valid for anyone but power armor users or super mutants?

Like raiders/fiends/legion

LLL is one of the many things that makes no sense unless fallout 3 happened 20 years after the bombs droped, not 200. hell, LLL would only make sense if it was less then 5.

>>320981998
There is no reason to assume that the Great Beyond doesn't mean space, seeing how you are helping them repair rockets.

If it was a simple death cult as some people in this thread seem to imply, there would be no need for the grandiose launch.

>Not to mention those stupid cartoon rockets those ghouls used to "go to space"?
It's funny because is I thought Come Fly With Me was the worst quest in the game specifically because of how much it reminded me of Bethesda Fallout, and no other quest in New Vegas elicits that feeling from me.
>weird ghoul cult that has no impact on the rest of the setting, who's beliefs are never explained beyond what's immediately relevant to the quest they give you.
>conflicts that don't make sense, why can't Harland check the stockroom for you to see if the stealth boys are there? How come Davison can get his nightkin to not attack you while they're leaving but not while they're sitting around in the Repconn basement? Why not ask Davison to check on the dead ghoul prisoner for you?
>The good ending isn't really even good since you're just sending this pack of psychotic murderers to go murder everyone somewhere else. The first thing they did upon showing up at Repconn was start killing people for no reason, guess you better hope that wherever you sent them to is now empty or those people are fucked.

>trying to aid in giving birth without any sort of medical education would result in a high infant mortality rate.

protip: high infant mortality rate in the past was due to child birth being left to illiterate voodoo women who refused to study real science or medicine. Infant mortality was only high among the lower classes due to this. The upper echelons of society tended to do fine because they hired actual doctors. Meanwhile, infant mortality was also low among the wild/hills/noncivilized people because their women were physically fit and didnt rely on voodoo witch doctor retard women to interfer in a natural process. Turns out, how easy child birth is is directly related to how physically fit the woman is, and that the custom of not letting women do any work to protect them during child birth actually makes child birth harder because they lack the necesary muscles needed to manipulate their own vaginas to push a baby out.

of all the unbelievable bullshit in fallout, a group of children surviving and thriving on their own isnt one of them.

Are you fucking missing the point? It's about the design of the rockets. It's unlogical, makes no sense in any universe with physics, and is proof that Fallout isn't always about realism and even fucking Obsidian knows it. They should. Fallout 1 and 2 have that too. What more do you want?

thank god you can't just kill every single nightkin so they can't go off murdering other people so the ending can actually be "good" amirite family

The rockets don't go upright. They go diagonally, they just travel, not go to the moon.
Including in one ending the Bright Brotherhood gets back "from their pilgrimage" and helps Novac against the Legion.

Just by the way the rockets are launched and fly you can see that they don't mean "the space" at all. Unless you're retarded, that is.

What do you mean staying children? That LL exiles people as they come of a certain age?

I still don't see a problem there. As long as knowledge is passed down from generation to generation, the community can thrive.

About the ghouls going to space. Maybe I'm mistaken, but don't they come back to help Novac in the ending?
>>
>>320982482
>It's unlogical

neither is a lot of things in the FO universe which is an excuse bethdrones like to give to a lot of beth-writings.

but the point is
>they are not trying to go to space in that rocket
>the ghouls just wanted to get to the rocket
>the MC has already try telling them that travelling on that rocket would probably result in death
>the ghouls wanted to do this anyways
>ok I will help

the ghouls wanted to die in their delusions because they got mistreated by normies, the MC helps, everybody is happy.

Same reason why people believe fucking reptiles are sitting in high ranks. It is easy to control society(and enemies) and build it in your vision if you have fucking direct control to them,by switching them with synths..
Some of kidnapped were for experiments probably(because you don't really want to use your friends) and some great minds/scientists.
