I never got why people quote that so much.
>>333144202
Was this ever explained? did someone kick him in the nads while he was recording and they just sorta kept it?
>>333145440
Did we ever end up getting him
>>333146475
No, some other board got antonio burch iirc.
I thought this was very interesting

>>333146337
I'm gonna assume they didn't tell him it was about a cat, and he thought it was part of an emotional scene.

Surely it was overblown on purpose? One of those joke things?

it's too subtley shit for that to be the case

You can't stop me from fucking an assaultron
>>333146475
Anthony wasn't in the name pool
/his/ got Todd Howard though
>>333143876
Wasn't that just a jab at the dude saying it, since he was stealing credit and talking like a condescending prat?
>>333146226
Because it was a fucking stupid "joke".
For all the uproar about localizations lately they're sometimes done well too, VS was originally pretty dry and plain in its dialogue but even if it's not top-level writing in either version, the localization at least made it a lot better.
>tfw legion shits keep killing my companions
>>333150292
Pretty much every line of dialogue in Vagrant Story is fucking gold. But then, there aren't many.
>>333149716
Why did house built Assaultrons to look and sound so god damn sexy???
>>333150312
just sprint over to them now and then and hit them with a stimpack. Boone died on my current run from Cazadores but I was beyond giving a shit

why
>>333149949
>>333150405
Probably a psychological trick, hence the form.
>>333148421Was the answer 15? That's what I'd go with.
>>333150670
IIRC it's Regret.
>>333150670
None of them were wrong she just wanted to hear what you thought
>>333150670
jokes on you fuckershe doesn't want an answer she wants to know what you thinkalso, it's supposed to be everything but regret is a much better answer

one of my favourites
>>333150369
There's a fair amount of dialogue in that game, obviously not a JRPG's worth though.
>>333143876
>>333150807Regret was what changed your first incarnation, but the current incarnation and all others follow belief a lot more. There is an ending where you believe yourself out of existence after all.
>>333150807
Id think suffering is a good answer, nigga have you seen what happens when people have to endure too much shit?
>>333143876
It's impressive that Bethesda used to have this kind of amazing writing skill.
>>333151032
>based as fuck
Also was pretty scary when I heard that playing the game as a 14 year old
>>333150291
>Because it was a fucking stupid "joke".
It was one of the more genuine jokes I've heard in video games, like I can actually see someone making it in real life
>>333151243
>>333151281
Regret incites everything you do in the entire game though. Morte regrets lying to the Nameless One before the game starts, and TNO potentially regrets his actions in the incarnation you play as.
>>333151281
all of those can change a man
>>333151442
I legit freaked out when that nigga told me to turn off the console.
And i did.
>>333151032
I really disliked MGS2 until the last 40 minutes or so when this shit started
>>333151761
well thats to be expected since it was literally a reacreation of shadow moses

I honestly can't wrap my head around how preserving information will lead to the sort of awful shit it goes on about
>>333149716
Somebody post Fantastic. That line "we're running at 1% efficiency, and I guess that just isn't enough for some assholes" line always gets at least a smile out of me
>>333152042
Just look at /pol/ if you want to see what will happen.
Also feminists.
>>333152248
I can see examples of it happening sure, I just don't see how the preservation of information caused it
>>333152042
Since all the stuff it talked about is (very predictably) happening now, it's equal to how every kind of shitty little comment is now technically forever existing among the internet. Even most to all of the shitposts here are in storage, and shitty reviews/blogs are all over the place chock full of useless or anti-progressive behaviors/content. People are going backwards or stagnating in their opinions and tastes because there's no guidelines or restrictions to what they post, so more garbage than good is put out.
Patriots just wanted to stop rampant shitposting and let people go on the right track with good content, but that was ironically limiting the freedom of people to be as shitty as they want, and also permanent spying. Their intentions were alright for a while, at least.
>>333143876
Pretty much the entirety of Morrowind.
>>333152317
Its the preservation of false information and obsloete info without context that is the problem.
People will belive in this false info leading to the dumbing down of humanity and augmentation of extremism.
>>333152317
Imagine a world where literally everyone only interaction with their home board/subreddit. Basically the world becomes a collection on circlejerk hugboxes. There can be no progress because everyone is busy discussing how everyone not them is wrong.
>>333152028
I really like how your lines change depending on whether you have enough for the speech/barter/whatever checks or not. I really like the idea that the Courier can look like a bumbling idiot too sometimes (unless you're on a low intelligence run, in which case he always does). The speech check system in 3 was so fucking shit.
>>333152409
meh, the main story sure, the rest isn't special
>>333151635
The interesting thing about that is that he's actually quoting Big Boss from the MGX version of Metal Gear 1. It fits in with him reciting quotes from MGS1.
>>333148421
Where does one download that book that was released after the game? (as in game in book form written by MCA himself)
>>333152782
Trust me, even the little quests are so intricate. Every bandit has a name and almost every cave, ruin or lair has SOME kind of role to play in some faction, quest or the big plot.
Everything latches together so well and the feeling of characters and factions having vested interests is so fucking strong. From the smallest chores you do at the beginning to the biggest missions at the end, it really feels like you're a part of it all.
And then there's the main story with all the lore, the stories, the books, the locations, the artifacts, the history, the fucking POEMS, the prophecies... fuck it's so good.
It's like when you've had sex that is so mindblowingly good that when you think about it, you FEEL it again. Morrowind's writing is exactly like that.
>>333153173
>Every bandit has a name
Except that's wrong
>>333153173
bandits having names isn't good writing and Oblivion did factions better. Though I would have preferred if finding the DB was like finding the Morag Tong.
>>333152616
I've got a few more of these saved if people are interested.
>>333153396
post em if you don't mind, I've never got that far without having speech at like 80
>>333153236
No it isn't. The only generic named characters in Morrowind are the Sleepers and the Guards.
>>333153475
>>333152616
speech in 3 was more realistic, it doesn't matter how charismatic of a person you are, there aren't magic passphrases that can convince anyone of anything. people are swayed not only by your speech but by their current mood and the circumstance of the situation.
>>333153485
Oh shit, my bad. For some reason I thought he was talking about The Witcher 3.
As you were.
>>333143876
Fantastic was the best npc in NV
>>333153514
>>333153526
And yet your choice of words is incredibly important in persuading people. The same shit said charismatically isn't going to magically work.
>>333148421
His material conditions is the correct answer.
>>333153571
>>333152552
Source?
>>333148421Regret.
>>333153526
>speech in 3 was more realistic
it really, really wasn't. saying a phrase doesn't have a percentage based chance of working or not. in New Vegas you never had a magic paraphrase, at the right level you knew what to say in the right situation. that's more realistic than "I said the same thing as last time but this time the dice roll worked in my favour". it's also better from a gameplay perspective

>>333153854
>>333150670
Same, I'd go with 15 too. It's called "Nature" for a reason.
>>333153173
I think you're romanticising it a bit too much. It's better than the later two games but it's not as fantastically intricate as your claiming.
>>333153910
>>333153940
I think he's on the money with the main quest. everything else about Morrowind is nothing special though
>>333153669
but in real life you can say the right thing and still be rejected if the person you're talking to is in a bad mood, or is angry and feeling stubborn at the time.
>>333153961
>>333153874
not really
he's supposedly a good friend from before your character lost his memory, but every meeting with him is just pure hate spewed in every direction
>>333153565
>theoretical degree in physics
Every time
>>333153979
no you can't retard. because in that case it's not the right thing is it.
>>333152368
Likewise, everyone stays in their own little echo chamber hugbox communities parroting the same shit over and over, building up each other with their own beliefs while ignoring the outsider's opinions and views. All it does is create small little stagnant ponds that stifle creativity, cultural growth, and human growth.
"No one is invalidated, but nobody is right."
>>333153979
The Speech skill isn't just knowing the most charming thing to say. It includes being able to read the mood, and tailor your responses based on that.
Besides, people's moods and feelings at any given time aren't just fucking random, as you would suggest they are if you say F3's system is somehow better.
>>333154129
>everyone stays in their own little echo chamber hugbox communities parroting the same shit over and over, building up each other with their own beliefs while ignoring the outsider's opinions and views.

You mean like/pol/?
>>333154028
do you not understand the concept of stubborness? when a person refuses to be convinced of something simply because they don't want to admit they were wrong? i'm sure you encounter it quite often here.

He kind of was. His goals were good, but the man himself was pretty much a clear-cut villain. Like Ocelot.

You mean like leftists?
>>333154174
Yeah, and that's why there are encounters you can't speech your way out of.
Ya dingus
>>333154174
of course I do, and in order to pass that stubbornness I need a higher speech skill in order to know the right thing to say to get passed it. some people can't be convinced through words alone and that's why you aren't given a speech check for every conversation
>>333154175
>>comes back from mission
I thought the entirety of the game was just your coma dream
>>333154129
Fuck mods, 4chan needs patriots.
>>333154223
it's a pretty apt representation of the far right and the far left
>>333148421
Doesn't the whole fucking game show that amnesia can change the nature of a man?
And it ain't even a fucking answer.

I wish kojima were here to see this.
>>333154257
the strongest willed character in the entire game, lanius, can be convinced through speech to abandon his plans.
>>333154129
>All it does is create small little stagnant ponds that stifle creativity, cultural growth, and human growth.
Shut up, Carl. You won't convince me that immigration and multiculturalism are good things.
>>333154270
That's copy-pasted right from the story it's based on, mind you.
>>333154361
what makes you think he's the strongest willed character in the game? where is that said?
>>333154361
So?
>>333154340
That would be death. Death of character, death of personality.
If you lost all your memory tomorrow, would the you that exists right now be dead? Would the person that woke up tomorrow be a completely different consciousness in a fully grown human body?
>fnv
>good writing
I like how you need 100 speech to convince Legate Lanius not to fight but you can still fail the checks.
>>333154273
>I thought the entirety of the game was just your coma dream
Yes and no, if that's all you got from it then you need to play again.
>>333154270
That works as the rambling rant of a mad, immature thing. Which is what AM turned into. That AI turned into a whining child.
>>333154453
>If you lost all your memory tomorrow, would the you that exists right now be dead? Would the person that woke up tomorrow be a completely different consciousness in a fully grown human body?
It's hard to say no. I guess I'd effectively be dead if my consciousness were radically changed, even if all my atoms remained intact.
>>333153910
I almost forgot those top quality faces.
>>333154497
I roughly remember the story broYour wife dies and the trauma forces you to live through the last few days again and again until you forgive yourself or whatever
Point is, it's still all just a dream, as evidenced by RImanah
>>333154405
because he killed 13 of his own tribesmen after he discovered they were preparing to surrender to the legion. who else in the game is remotely comparable to that?
>>333154525
How do you know you don't die every time you go to sleep huh? How do you know the memories you have when you wake up are actually the memories you had when you went to sleep?
>>333154460
>Not listening to Caesar speak dialectics
>>333154453
then the answer is unambiguously death?
>>333154586
I keep a diary which I have carbon-dated every day :^)
>>333152616
You can do a retard playthrough on NV?!
Fuck, I thought that was exclusive to the first two games. I guess I'll download it again in the near future
>>333154525
>even if all my atoms remained intact
1) That's not how atoms work
2) If you had the exact same atomic configuration, you wouldn't lose your memory
>>333154453
Your personality is based on your brain structure. Unless you get brain damage, your consciousness will remain mostly the same.
>>333154578
>I roughly remember the story bro
obviously not, you're missing the whole part about the cycles and the wolf.
>>333154586
Watched Dark City recently, huh?
>>333150872
That's just a direct quote from the short story though, so I'd argue it doesn't really count.
>>333154627
Caesar doesn't even understand dialectics
his babbling resembles that of a wikipedia article, also he's constantly pissed off and keeps insulting you
guess why, having an actual slaver faction which you can sympathise with would trigger the shit out of people
>>333154581
a subjective point if any. you convince Lanius to leave by appealing to the fact that the Legion can't hold the West and the East, a completely true fact which he sees the wisdom of and leaves. if you butcher the speech checks you speak in an aggressive tone and mock the legion, but with your speech level you know what to say and how to say it. in 3's "more realistic" system you'd say the same two sentence statement over and over again until it worked and it would have writing just as good as "you're an abortion of the bull legate, time to die"
>>333154223
leftists actually spend far too much time arguging with each other to really call it a hugbox. The modern left spends just as much time shouting at itself as it does the "opposition"
you wouldn't believe how many times I've witeneesed trots and maxist-leninists (also known as stallinists) shout at each other about who's more left.
>>333154724
Not for quite a few years. I'd legitimately forgotten that was the plot of that movie
>>333154627
Caesar's rambling is a load of uneducated garbage. I can only hope this was on purpose because any idiot can rip apart what he's saying, all he says about synthesis is a load of bullshit
>>333154719The cycles are what I meant with reliving the same days over and over again until you get the true ending
The wolf was just some in-universe tales about the meta-streumonic force that you can interpret however you want
>>333154586
Well like, we do know for a fact that we stop existing pretty regularly, it's just for such a small space of time that we don't notice. Because quantum mechanics is sensible.
>>333154581
He is said to have no love for his Legion and to be ruthless.
I'd say Mr House is much more strong willed, and you'll notice there are plenty of occasions where you just cannot reason with him.
>>333154838
>>333154750
I always thought that was on purpose, that he talked like that because the game devs wanted you to realize how intelligent he thought he was. Although I could be reading too much into it
>>333154186
>ocelot
>not a hero
Duck off back to Alaska, Kaz
>>333154705
Then it starts getting into those nasty philosophical questions about who you are. If you lost all your memories tomorrow but were still (you) today, would you make the same choices you would have before? Would you have the same likes and dislikes? Would your base personality be the same? Or is everything decided by your memories and past experiences?
I'm not seriously asking. I doubt anyone can be bothered to get into that stuff right now.Pleb-tier, babby's first philosophy, etc.
>>333154375

What? How is that a question that requires a deep answer?
Memories determine everything about you that isn't genetic, so all your tastes and behavior would be completely different

mod, New Vegas Bounties II
>>333154507
Yeah, he is basically throwing a big hissy fit at the fact that he has the brain the size of a planet but he cant move.
>>333148421
10/10 writing.
>>333154764
i'm not referring to the actual writing in 3 i'm just saying that the percentage of success is more realistic. because i myself have been on the receiving end of wise advice and have not taken it due to various circumstances like stubborness or having a bad day and being angry and not wanting to listen to anyone.
>>333154983
He isn't stupid, the only problem is that he's reached a lot of conclusions about what must be done. Talking to people who haven't seen some shit about the necessity of enslavement and conquest is always going to come off as incredibly extremist.
That's probably the biggest defining trait for Caesar. He's not stupid, but from what he saw in the east and the conclusions he's drawn, he's a long way from the rest of civilisation. For the world and context he saw, it made sense, but unfortunately his context was wrong.
>>333155234
Why didn't he get the humans to build him machines so he could start fabricating stuff instead of torturing them?
>>333154885
The cycles, the wolf and the metastrum are all connected.
You're close, but not quite there.
>>333155159
Yeah but would it, though. Would it really?
>>333155328
have you listened to nothing anybody else has been saying. the percentage chance is NOT more realistic.
>>333155343
Naw m8 fuck off
That shit is intentionally left open for interpretation and you're not the sole authority
>>333155328
Your point would be valid if the random speech checks of 3 were randomized based on circumstances.
But they're fucking not. You can go up to an NPC at the exact same time of day, after the exact same events have occurred, and their response will be different based on pure random chance.
>>333155159
so what human traits are genetic and which ones are memorized. Is love a gene?

>>333155438
No, a chemical reaction

It's ambiguous yes, but it isn't up for interpretation. And no I'm not the authority, the writer(s) for the game is.
>>333143876
>New Vegas
>best anything
>>333155350
Yes
>>333155438
Love is just liking someone + physical attraction
Both of these are largely controlled by memories
>>333155335
he really is an idiot though. what he says about synthesis simply isn't true
"when the legion takes the republic they'll be changed into civilised people" how would that happen? you've raised generations of glorified misogynistic raiders and think that moving in with the plutocrats will make them into decent people? it's a complete denial of human nature to think that would work. by the time you could breed it out of them he'd be long dead and one of his self made cut throats would take charge of his legion and continue it the way it is
>>333155460
Define too far.
>>333155482
Yes, HK, your sniper rifle joke is very funny.
Why does no-one ever memory-wipe their droids, like they're supposed to?
>>333155436
well the game can't be THAT deep, that would make it probably the most advanced AI ever seen. the concept though is more realistic.
>>333155536
what induces this reaction?
>>333155545
Feel free to tell me what you think the connection is
I'd just like to remind you that about everything you learn about the old tales contradicts itself
We don't even know who won in the fight between the wolf and that powerful dude, we just know they kind of absorbed each other
>>333154581
Benny
>>333155593
the concept isn't even more realistic though. you just know the right things to say to counter the stubbornness with a higher speech level in NV, some people are too stubborn to ever be convinced and NV shows that like House with the BoS
>>333155560
>Both of these are largely controlled by memories
Not really. Physical attraction isn't controlled by memories, an amnesiac can fall in love or be attracted to the opposite sex just fine. That's your genes deciding.
Liking someone is linked to them however, because you need to remember what interactions you had with someone to know that you're on the same wavelength.
>>333155590
>>333155593
>the concept though is more realistic
You keep saying this, but it's literally not.
When you make the vast majority of speech checks in a fallout game, the NPCs are going to be in pretty much the same circumstances as any other playthrough you do the speech check.
Which means it comes down to your skill in negotiation, aka the fucking speech skill.

>>333155560
ok poor example.
So what parts of behavior are controlled by memory and what parts are controlled by genetics, this should be a simple answer according to you.
Also how can you be certain, what studies have been done to prove your theory? Have we actually solved the "nature vs nurture" paradox?

Because people have egos, and they're all incredibly fragile. They want to invent things like video games, and electricity, and the art of forging steel, but they can't, because someone else already did.
Only by burning all the information of past history can we be free to invent anything that has already been invented. Only then can we destroy the privileges our ancestors sacrificed and died to earn for us.
>>333155707

>>333155578
He's already turned a rabble of Tribals into an organised army loyal to the death, I wouldn't say that turning them into an authoritarian government would be a hard task.
Like I said though, he has drawn his conclusion about what this synthesis would be from his understanding of the tribes in the east. If his conclusion is wrong, it is because of his lack of understanding about the people of the west, not because he is stupid.

turning a bunch of savages with sticks into a united bunch of savages with sharper sticks and football helmets isn't as hard as turning said brutal savages into a refined government. and no, it isn't a misinterpretation of the west, it's a complete lack of understanding of his own army.

genetics determine base instincts like sex drive and broad tastes (liking high-calorie foods because your ancestors could more easily survive with those, stuff like that)
memories determine everything else

only if you do the exact same playthrough every time. if you do the helios one speech check right after leaving goodsprings, and then do it in a later playthrough after 100 hours of gametime, the ncr lady isn't going to be feeling the same in both situations, realistically.

I'm about to play Planescape: Torment for the first time
Is a completely intelligence and conversation specced Nameless One viable or will I get forced into combat sometime?

Sorry guys but the best quote is Joshua Graham's. Ya know, the one Tumblr picked up and made gay.
>>333155828
>No, your instinct only decides what broad features you find attractive (hips and shit)
Which is enough most of the times. Childhood experiences only shape up some of your preferences and fetishes. Do you really think that a kid raised in a closed-room can't fall in love with a woman, or have preferences for them if he's released after 20 years?
Are you aware that you're genetically wired to find women slightly different from you more attractive than women too similar to you, so that you can have a more diverse genepool?
>>333156028
No, but less convincingly.
>>333156059
there's 3 forced combat encounters in the entire game
>>333154007
These ingame would all be better without the UI already telling you they're gonna fail. Was there an option to remove that or it had to be done with a mod?
Also I can't recognise almost half of these faces. There seems so much I've missed in this game.
>>333156080
I'm trying to go in as blind as I can
Is INT/WIS enough to get through combat as a mage or whatever?

"No", apparently

Humanity could've built him a gf. You know, do a bride of frankenstein.
AM probably would've been alright if had internet access and could go on/pol/ and /r9k/.
>>333155340
He can build machines himself just fine. The problem is that he is so large that he cant produce a way to leave earth and still consider himself AM. He also isnt very good at coming up with new tech himself and i dont think any of last humans are going to become computer scientists for him.
>>333156092
What's the point of hiding that information from the player when you can save-load anyway?
Also no, but it is an option inPillars of Eternity.

>>333155998
Perhaps.
But a skilled negotiator would be able to judge her different moods. Being able to skillfully navigate a conversation regardless of small variations in mood is both more realistic and just more satisfying for the player.
Dice rolling is inherently just not as good.
>>333156059
You'll get forced into combat occasionally, but high int means magic damage, and you'll have other party members to tank or dish out pain anyway.
As usual remember to prioritize INT,CHA,WIS andDon't trust the skull
>>333155592
Why does no one clean their pc cases like, like they're supposed to?
>>333156059
Put the majority of your points into WIS and INT, the rest into CHA and become a mage if you want a lot of conversation options
Most combat encounters are avoidable/optional
>>333156130
yes but again, hes blinded by his hatred; hed rather torture the ones he keeps alive for all eternity, and AM isnt exactly a well adjusted AI.
>>333155972
Were we both looking at the same Legion? Because I saw an army far more organised and better trained than anything the NCR fielded. With the fact they've already turned the lawless lands in Arizona into an area perfectly safe for caravans, do you think that enforcing Caesar's will and law in New Vegas will be a problem?
>>333156248
>>333156210
Okay, glad to hear that it's viable
>"Garlic Bagel"
>Studded with sesame seeds and containing flecks of fried garlic.

>>333156262
effective and efficient sure, I never said they weren't. but they're all complete savages and Caesar thinks taking the west will somehow change that
>>333156303

Well played

>when you can save-load anyway
That's just another option it itself. Nobody's forcing the player to either savescum or stick to given checkpoints, but if the game forces in my face dialogue options telling me already they're gonna fail I'm obviously not going to pick them.

Without spoiling too much, I'll say remember to talk with your party members often and solve whatever problems they have, especially this guy near the end of the game.

>>333154983
Game devs want players to realize a lot of things that they often don't. You were supposed to cheer when the ghouls broke their promise and butchered the residents of Tenpenny Tower, for example, because the progressive left believes that nobody should be bound to any promises made to moral inferiors. The whole point of tricking the humans into accepting the ghoul immigrants was so the humans would be massacred, because they deserved it, but players saw only that they had made a deal, only for it to be violated and a bunch of people killed over it, and got pissed off enough about it to take revenge and/or just refuse to do the quest at all.
>>333156439

They are what Caesar made them. If you consider the crucifixion, banning of anaesthetics, slavery, and barbarity in combat savagery, then Caesar was the one to instil this in them, and he can once more bend them to his will.
>>333154838
>Caesar's rambling is a load of uneducated garbage.

teaching an idiot with a spear to slap a collar on somebody and tie somebody to a cross is easy. teaching somebody who's had all this instilled into them since birth to now stop doing that and go and pick up a science textbook in order to become a refined person is another matter entirely. I actually find it hilarious that he wants Hoover Dam because there is no way in fuck he has enough educated Legion members to fully run it.
>>333149716
No wonder he hates techno so much, he probably loves house music.
>>333156604
the whole situation makes more sense if you open by saying you want to fuck. then she is impressed by your boldness. there is a cuck option that just leads directly to the fetch quest.
>>333156604
She just has a fetish for people who do stupid shit like stealing eggs from Deathclaws
>>333156604
Anyone who can collect this shit is a certified grade-A badass, don't tell me that wouldn't make her panties wet.

>>333156731
He doesn't want the Dam at all. He wants Vegas. The Colorado is his Rubicon, Vegas will be his Rome.
The Dam is the battleground because it's why NCR is there and what they're defending.
>>333154375
. Although he is not a fan of computer games and did not own a personal computer at the time, he co-authored the expanded storyline and wrote much of the game's dialogue, all on a mechanical typewriter. Ellison also voiced the supercomputer "AM" and provided artwork of himself used for a mousepad included with the game.
