One of you autists sell me on this shit. I hated Fallout 3 in part because the gunplay was awful and in part because the story was appalling, then everybody came out smoking NV's cock and I didn't want to get disappointed again. Now that it costs jack shit, though, what exactly am I missing? Is the actual gameplay any better and the game less fucking ugly, or is it the same shit carried by a decent story?

It'd be cool if they made the central theme based around mercantile this time around. It'd need a pretty big game area and for the world to have an economy mechanic or whatever its called. But I think it'd be neat.

You don't necessarily have to become a merchant, you can become a bandit/raider, caravan guard, caravan master, or even own a whole caravan company. It'd be nice.

The plot could start with you investigating or stumbling upon a caravan being raided. Maybe the cargo is something precious/dangerous or maybe the raiders or the caravan people just happened to be the Big Influential Group in the wasteland or something.

Gunplay feels much better. FO4 doesn't seem to have that weird ass delay when firing automatic weapons that 3 had. The modding system is pretty nifty and ensures that most if not all weapons have some use for most of the game.
>>
Obsidian should make KOTOR 3.
>>
New Vegas had more personality and memorable characters than Fallout 4 and I feel like if Obsidian did that on a level like Fallout 4 it would be an enjoyable game
>>
>>318107128
Gunplay has been only slightly improved by the addition of iron sights. There are little things here and there that add some spice, like Hardcore mode and the Survival skill. Really the biggest draw of the game is an RPG that actually lets you roleplay, with several different factions to choose from and choices that actually matter.

Joke skit for some comedy show
Please don't run around acting like its real
>>
>>318107128
The mechanics where mostly the same with some slight upgrades such as iron sights on guns. The game's design pushed the player towards roleplaying more both in gameplay style and in dialogue choices. The story was a lot better than Fallout 3 and you had a fair bit of choice as to who ended up helping who at the end of the game. The biggest downside it had was the map design which was well thought out in seperating the factions from each other and creating realistic areas for the different groups but was often pretty bare in terms of exploration and game play outside the main areas.

>>
>>318107852
Oh, wrong thread. In that case, guns are a little better but still suffer from some shitty issues, like horrifically unaligned ironsights versus where the actual bullet is supposed to go.
>>
>>318106786
Fallout needs a new setting or something. The first 2 were great because society was just starting out again and you had a real impact on the future of the world.

3, NV, and 4's worlds are all too developed, it's more like post-post-apocalyptic. I'd rather have a series of little trash settlements who barely have any contact with each other outside of trade caravans rather than one or two major metropolitan areas surrounded by raider shacks and lolwacky settlements

Hawaii

you can have ghouls in hawaiian shirts

you can have an elvis cult

you could have another enclave oil rig

you could have shipwrecks that you could explore with boats

though this is probably beyond bethesda's engine's capabilities
>>
>>318108215
Fallout 2 and NV are post-post apocalyptic. Fallout 1 was on the cusp of it.

3 and 4 aren't though. Despite taking place far in the future the games would make more sense and work better if they took place closer to the Great War, around the time of Fallout 1 perhaps.

Takes place in Legion territory decades after New Vegas. The Legion have disbanded and there was chaos over the entire region.

Some went to uphold Caesar's laws and brutal punishments.

Some went to follow Lanius' ways and rule by might and cull the weak.

Some went to reform their old tribes and want nothing to do with the Legion anymore.

There have been rumors traveling around about a hidden untouched Vault that may hold the key to mankind's salvation.

Many prospectors and adventurers have died trying to find it and unlock its secrets.

Those who did return settled down and built small towns along with other Legion deserters. Over time trade routes were established that connected them.

You were born from one of these towns. It is up to you to pick your backstory on why you left town and headed out in search of the Vault.

You will meet other prospectors, ghouls, raider gangs, tribals, and even the Brotherhood of Steel along the way.

Yes! Imagine waking up out of a vault or, how ever they decide to introduce the MC, since the south is close to the water table I imagine vaults are scarce in the flood plains. You see a super mutant behemoth being taken down by 4 of these mutated gators.

I'm kind of tired of the "4 sides pick 1" Fallouts that NV and FO4 are. The first two fallouts had a bunch of different settlements and towns you could help and decide the outcome of, especially FO2, but it wasn't the main quest of the game itself. Both Fallout 1, 2 and Van Buren had BBEG's or organizations, such as the Enclave, The Master or Presper.

The faction stuff is fun too, especially in New Vegas since they seemed more integrated into the world, but it all just amounts to dudes and they're doing stuff. Fallout 1 and 2 still had dudes doing stuff, but they managed to have a main threat to them as well.
>>
No, it's too far from the series roots now. Fallout started as scrounging and surviving, fighting raiders and geckos for the bear necessities, the simple bear necessities. Forget about your worries and your strife. Old mother natures recipes.

Fallout in a snowy weathery Silent Hill-like Seattle with a NV-level of pre-war guns + 4's customization (and stuff like the junk-jet/cannon/railroad-gun/etc. maintained this time), the better dialogue options back and a role you actually choose would be the best idea yet. Maybe finally introduce the ability to mutate yourself into another race as well.

Maybe a return to New Reno/NCR dealing with turbulent times in their history with the legion utterly destroying NCR forces and conquering New Vegas and now Caesar turns to destroy his ideological opponent with an invasion. You can choose to aid Caesar's Legion into NCR or side with the NCR to take the initiative, perhaps join local, struggling powers but has a sharp future ahead of him with an new absolute elder could mean these said struggling powers can find a way back to glory, maybe represent the interest of Vault City or New Reno, willing to work with the Brotherhood.

I dunno, I just want to see some of the west coast again, maybe add some new areas as well to add more to the lore.

Nations do not work like theoretical Hegelian synthesis.

Theres no historical precedent for it. Antagonistic cultures can diffuse peacefully over centuries but smashing them together only creates social strife. The NCR post-Legion invasion would look more like post-Soviet collapse Yugoslavia than anywhere you would want to live.

Caesar is well educated by Wasteland standards but hes still an arrogant retard.
>>
So what are the actual chances that we'll get another Obsidian Fallout?
All I could think about when playing 4 was that this game would be fucking excellent if obsidian made it.
They wouldn't dumb down RPG elements, and they sure as shit wouldn't have a voiced protag.

>>318106786
Oh my god, YES. Why has nobody ever brought this up? That would be a fantastic idea! :^)
>>
>>318107128
Better Gunplay than 3, but not as good as 4. Melee is tons of fun once you learn the different moves though. Story is good and Roleplaying is carried on through the use of skill checks in speech checks.
>>
>>318111381
I know, I used to like TES too. I even love Oblivion for all its faults. But then Skyrim sold like The Bible 2, so that's their formula now.

>>318111596
Actually, whore studios and publishers did that. Movies are a massive international industry, but good movies still get made. They usually aren't as huge as fluff, but directors and actors still want to make something GOOD sometimes, or at least something honest, so they do, and also make big money making tripe. Game studios could do the same shit, but they don't because it's a bunch of pushover geeks being whipped to slave over shovelware by corporate masters who call all the shots. Film directors may be spergs, but at least they're known for their tempers and calling the shots to the point of abuse instead of always just rolling over.

There's plenty of room for both AAA casual garbage and great games. It's just that once these faggots taste that paycheck, they don't care about what they do anymore.

>>318111429
Actually it could reference both the West Coast and Bethesda's le wacky East coast in some neat ways. I would guess that Florida/Cuba have some economy going in some way that would make it lucrative for the NCR to make maritime contact with them at least. NCR Navy would be cool as shit.

>>318111875
Close to none. Beth probably wrote NV off as a failure and a one time thing, and are protecting "their brand" from any more contamination. Notice how they left out pretty much everything from New Vegas in Fallout 4. They want everyone to forget about it.
>>
>>318111149
The legion fell to a time crunch at Obsidian. Could they have been more fleshed out and have a story like that? Sure, but they didn't. In the end they were dudes in football pads charging a full sized army with automatic weaponry because they think people shouldnt be able to use toasters. Like the bastard child between the BoS and a retarded lemming. And someone hit that kid over the head with a history textbook with all the pages burnt except the chapter about the Roman empire. And the good parts of the Roman empire.

It's not so much contradictory, although some people did complain about the sudden importance of dragons, it's just that they're playing it disgustingly safe with the same shitty medieval Europe setting again. All the books and Daedric shit is just copypasted from the last four games. Didn't let the player do anything with the Thalmor.

Actually got New Vegas again after all this time, and I'm actually enjoying myself.

4 is just boring, and survival is pathetically easy after level 20. I knew it was not going to be good but I just wanted to enjoy a new game.

I think this is a result of the 90s gen getting too old for games. Bet most of you are older fucks. Even NV wore thin after playing it once and you needed a break. FO4 has it's faults but it's enjoyable for a good while which is better than most games out there.

I agree that it was missing a few more interesting quests and vaults though but lets hope Obsidian gets another crack.
>>
>>318113913
>go kill these raiders/mirelurks/orks

Literally 90% of quests. It's insane how they went from NV having 2+ ways of finishing each quest, often with non-lethal options, to this.
I'm legitimately playing Skyrim again because at least the world is more interesting than the junk heap that is future boston
>>
>>318113745
I mostly only build my sanctuary base when playing now.
I wish the main story was longer, I didn't expect it to end so abrubtly.
I also wish there were more guns, and not just steampunk WW1 style guns and a tommygun as choices.
I wouldn't call FO4 bad by any stretch, it just lacks a lot of RPG elements, and has a pretty mediocre story.

I'd love for VI to finally be set in Akavir and its own crazy potential with samurai chinks, crazy monkeys, tiger-men and other new races going against giant Tsaesci snake-men (all of whom are playable) and annual yeti attacks. But since playing-it-safe pays off big in this industry, we'd be lucky if a game touches even Valenwood/Elsweyr instead of more mountains.

It was a combat-filled slog devoid of any good characters or meaningful interactions. The whole thing was dripping with Avellone's distaste for RPG conventions and tacked on an unnecessary, poorly explained backstory for the courier. It did not live up to the hype.

Its not poorly explained its vague because the only person who brings it up is an insane broken man who you can convince that you've never set foot in the divide and that it was someone else who delivered the chip regardless.
