T-60 looks like garbage and there's no reason for it to exist.

Of all the shit to wax nostalgic over, why did it have to be the 'iconic' designs of Fallout 3? Some of the stuff that was worth bringing over like the US and Chinese assault rifles didn't even make the cut in any form except signage and cut assets.

Didn't even have the decency to save some of the only good concepts from the cutting room floor either.

I wrapped him in Christmas lights, pushed him into the stinkin' tub
Cut him up into pieces and just when I went to drink his blood
I thought I oughta drink his bath water, that oughta be fun
That's when my days of serial murder manslaughter begun
The sight of blood excites me; that might be an artery, son
Your bloodcurdling screams just don't seem to bother me none
It's 3 a.m. and here I come, so you should probably run

They can "represent" whatever they want, but as a currency it is absolute shit. It is not easily portable, not easily divisible, and very easily counterfeitable. There is no intrinsic value in a bottle cap, so in a time when people's confidence is at the absolute minimum, there should never have been a reason for it to have been adopted. Bottle caps are a retarded currency.

Let me copypaste it for you, you lazy fuck.
"In New California, the relative scarcity of bottle caps made them a perfect currency for Hub merchants to adopt in the 22nd century, leading to the nickname "Hubbucks" and "Hubscript." Backed by the value of water, the Hub merchants supported bottle caps because the technology to manufacture them and paint their surfaces had been mostly lost in the Great War, which limited any counterfeiting efforts. Secondly, there are a limited number of bottle caps, which preserve their value against inflation to some degree. For similar reasons the East Coast merchants also recognize bottle caps as a currency, although who backs them and guarantees their value is unknown."

The entirety of Fallout 1 took place in southern California which is literally nothing but a massive desert. The southeast part of the map on the way to Vegas is considered to be part of the Mojave in the real world.

Information on making bottle caps is everywhere. I've made bottle caps since I was young (my dad bottles his own beer as a hobby). Bottle caps are piss easy, any retard with some sheet metal and a hammer and some sheet metal sheers can pump out a dozen hand made ones in a minute. You could make a simple press by hand with salvaged material in few hours and speed up the process even more.

Seriously, there are YouTube videos all over the fucking place that show you how to make them. No doubt in the Fallout universe there would be books or holotapes containing the info fucking everywhere. I seriously want you to spend three minutes on YouTube watching how to do it and then come back and tell me that no one would be able to do it.

Really? They are going to use their supernatural ability to tell shitty, 200 year old bottle caps from shitty recently made bottle caps?

Raider PA should work like NCR T-45 in that its just like a knight's armor, not actually powered. T-60 and T-45 look identical, except for the chest parts. They should be similar. T-51 should always have the most armor and best performance, while the experimental Enclave armor should have the most modifications possible. The only reason the T-60 gets used is because the Brotherhood can't produce more suits of T-51 which is the superior armor, but has been used the most in past and therefore has less salvageable parts as time goes on.

Holy fuck, dude, then just scratch it more. You think someone who has dedeicated even a second of brainpower to this issue hasn't considered this? Again, bottle caps are a trivial thing to make, and scratching it and making it look rusty would be even easier.

I've actually made bottle caps in real life. I have real, hands on experience in the matter. Can you say the same?

Maybe if they said something like "the radioactive paint/alloy used in the production can be extracted and used as a fuel source in bulk" this would actually make sense since they currency itself has a value backed by something, they can easily be tested with a Geiger counter everyone seems to own and the formula/production method of the paint/alloy can simply be a lost in the war. This would also allow the kind of prices that we see in game as 1 cap won't have much raw material and won't be terribly valuable.

>>321469416

No, it doesn't. But libraries do. Computers do. The knowledge would be everywhere in the Fallout universe, just like it is in our own, because it is a trivially easy process.

If you can rig up a 200 year old drill press and forge a receiver for .50bmg then I doubt you'll have too hard of a time punching out sheet metal. Remember, this is fallout, there's no 9 to 5 job. If you've gotten yourself into making fake caps, you're probably under some crime boss. Therefore when you ain't shitting or sleeping, you're stamping out caps.

Bottle caps are made out of sheet metal. Sheet metal is fucking everywhere in the fallout universe. You could rip some off the side of your house and punch out a few hundred of the things and no one would be the wiser.

>>
>>321470029
Not him, but it actually does feel pretty petty on Behtesda's part even if it's not the biggest of deals.

Like, they probably designed a new version of the T-45 and realized that it was too different from the original, so they just called it the T-60 and pretended it was the MOST BEST ARMOR EVER instead of just doing the reasonable thing and making it a post-war upgrade of the T-45.

If they can't treat their own baby right how can you expect them to do the same to Fallout.

Right so you have currency in real life with all sorts of different layers of protection against the stuff and it still gets counterfeited, but no a fucking bottle cap with the word "nuka cola" is just not possible to make in a world where people jury rig plasma rifles. Thanks for being a retard.

The ebin meming is the only problem with FO2's writing, there's a better story than even FO1 under there

If somebody made a "NO FUCKING MEMES" fix for FO2 it'd be 10/10 and really, it serves as a cautionary tale. Don't put ebin topical humor in your game, it only dates it and could make it heavily unenjoyable in the near to far future.

The fact that you phrase it this way shows that you have zero knowledge on the subject and despite the vast wealth of knowledge at your fingertips refuse to educate yourself.

This.

The T-60 should have been the Brotherhood custom model, made from a cobbling of T-45 and T-51 parts or something. A freestanding model that was supposedly the newest even though it looks just like the T-45 is silly.
>>
>>321470537
Yeah, and you find counterfeit caps throughout the game. Unless you can make your own press (which mercantile organizations are always hunting down), you're not going to be able to counterfeit enough caps to make a difference, even with enough labor.

They probably decided it had to be its own armor when they realized they didn't have the characteristic new masked armor that every fallout game before has.

But even then, there's no reason the "new" armor couldn't have been a post-war brotherhood creation. It's not like they care about consistency regarding the possibility of finding it somewhere before the Brotherhood come, Jet is already everywhere.

>>321471125
Why can't a newer design look more like an old one, though? The T60 was likely based visually on the T45, but it can still be a newer model than the T51. I mean if armor designs are anything like warplane designs, the T45 and T60 could be made by one company winning the bid while the T51 was made by another.

No it doesn't Tomb Raider has aged like crap. It's only really enjoyable for Nostalgic/Historical reasons.

Fallout 2 still does stuff better than a shitload of modern RPGs, it's a classic.

Let's compare it to film. King Kong (1933) is a groundbreaking movie and dazzled audiences, but you watch it today and it's crap that can't even compare to the modern blockbusters of the last 30 years. 12 Angry Men is an old film that you watch today and it's fantastic.

Fallout 2 is closer to 12 Angry Men than it is to King Kong.
