I played fallout 4 as my first fallout game. heard all the good things about fallout 3 and new vegas so I actually went and bought them, and holy fuck is it clunky to play. every single time I want to loot something, the game pauses. FOR EVERY SINGLE THING. kill 5 people and you'll spend 10 minute looting them.
fallout 4 is miles ahead. I don't give a fuck if I have less options in a conversation, the actual GAMEPLAY is so much better.

>>342324985
You can get every answer from anything in this game about legion, some people just refuse to read a lot dialogs and want to shoot things. No wonder they saw only generic bad guys. It tells you a lot, just doesn't show much.
>Wanna start a new run
>Don't want to go through the trouble of getting the mods I want together and making them all work right
>>342325859
Removed the repair system in 4 is such a huge mistake imo. I hate it in games like Oblivion but games with guns made way more sense.
>>342325940
Key word "tells", in NV the only gameplay you have with them is them acting like generic bad guys
>>342325859
>Uncle Sam
>>342326057
dunno, i thought about it and all the repair system did in the other games was that you either carried around more of the same gun or used different guns until you could repair.
think they shouldn't have made repairing guns so trivial, like just walking up to somebody and buying them to get it back to full health broke the system in a way.
in 4 even with the ammo perks, i constantly ran out of ammo and had to use different guns because of it, until i got a settler as a merchant, then that problem was gone too.
>>342326057
In a way it's a good thing, but I wouldn't have removed it entirely, I would have reworked it.
Instead of your weapon breaking flat out, only parts of it break, the same part on another weapon may break faster or slower depending on what the weapon is and how it uses that part, weapons would only become unusable if a core piece to using it became broken.
Like if you block with a fireaxe, the shaft will become damaged and will be unusable when it breaks, but if the edge breaks first you can still use it as a weapon though much less effective.
Same thing would go for armor and clothing
>>342325859
Name yourself The Saint, and send those sinners to Hell.
>>342326057
I like the idea of guns being able to jam and shit but after the first quarter of the game you will never not have pristine weapons so it becomes kinda pointless.
>>342326074
>them acting like generic bad guys
there's a nuance that you're missing, the game is trying not to hold your hand too much.
the game starts you up and lets you go, you can do anything and if you miss something like not caring to talk to people and get to know the place, then that's on you, not the game.
>>342325859
only one i can think of off the bat is project nevada, it adds the chinese assault rifle from fo3 along with a few others (lincoln's repeater, chinese pistol, infiltrator, etc).
it also adds cyberware and sprinting.
>>342313148
low quality bait
>>342326549
good idea, guess it could be modded out if you made more parts of the gun into mods, so the base of the gun is the core and everything else is a mod but i don't think mods have health ingame.

>>342326549
that sounds good on paper but would probably end up being even more tedious than the current system
i like the way Dying Light did it: guns don't degrade but melee weapons do and have a certain amount of times you can repair them before they break for good
>>342327095
>no "I was bored" option
Fallout really needs "zero fucks" options, imagine the horror ceaser would have felt if you told him that, you didn't care about him or anything you were doing.
You just did it because you were bored and screwing him over was good entertainment.
>>342327025
Wrong, the legion is very understandable once you actually listen to them.
>>342327107
If you understand the skill system in how it was implemented in 3, it was basically a threshold.
Like nothing happens if you have 24points into a skill but if you have 25 BOOM something happens.
4 basically removed the threshold of having points that didn't do jack shit because they were alittle from the threshold.
The problem is that some skills in 3 gave you small % bonuses that the specials also did but the skill supplemented those more.
I think that sort of perk only system in 4 could work very well, the perks they added are boring and repetitive and that system would require alot more diversity and just alot more perks.
Dunno if i'm the only one but from a modders perspective i don't like the perk chart, i don't see custom mods fit well into it at all.
>>342326074
Pretty sure every legion move has it's purpose and was justified in the end. Not just because they can, like generic bad guys do.
I guess most of the people get upset by the fact that NCR soldiers gets fucked really hard, but if you take your time and think about why those soldiers fight in some unnecessary expansion campaign, instead of defending your own home, you will understand what is the real problem and game show you that like hundreds of times and even literally tells you.

Admittedly the scales are tipped by having lots of Legion content cut, but it's not black and white.
Every NCR quest shows how inept and corrupt they are without your assistance.
Legion has history on their side, you need a merciless warlord to unite a country before getting bogged down in bureaucracy.

I'm only in the beginning hours of 4 and do they have shit where I can repair bots for Big Town and shit like that I'm going to play 4 and have fun regardless because a friend got it for me and I respect my friend enough to play it. Friday said he'd give me his copy of Morrowind too. What to expect with that?
>>342327107
>I didn't mind it in Skrim
You never played Skyrim
But other than that, I had an idea the other day for a better skill system in Fallout.
Instead of having 1-100 points in a skill when every skill check is 25/50/75/100, every skill has a total of 5 points that can be put into it, you get a select number of points to put into any of those skills at character creation, you never get to decide those skills again.
Skills will work similar to how they did before, some dialog checks will show up requiring 1-5 in a skill, and weapon damage/handling will be tied to SPECIAL instead, but you'll get some new benefit to being spec'd into a weapon skill.
Perks are tied to skills and SPECIAL again, but every perk is tied to a rank of a skill(s), multiple perks can share the same skill ranks, whatever you chose at creation is what perks you're going to have for the rest of the game.
Every level you pick a perk, every 2 levels you pick a SPECIAL to put a point into
>>342329138
There's a quest revolving around robots, it's kinda funny but it bugged out for me several times and i had to repeat it one too many times.
Otherwise i don't recall you being able to repair robots like that, there's a dlc that adds robot customization but it doesn't look goo at all.
I have Morrowind too and have never launched it, have seen the combat system and it looks like hot garbage, the dialogue and quest system is bad(not the quests but the system).
Morroblivion should fix those issues and that might be the right call, dunno how well the mods for actual Morrowind do to fix those systems, you might want to check out nexus for that before starting a game up, some of the retextures and shaders look great.
>>342329147
>You never played Skyrim
Skyrim is just perks, there are no skills.
>>342329147

Legion doesn't have history on their side, Ceasar just pieced together tid bits of every totalitarian culture he could come across because there's no accurate historical records for those times in the fallout universe. They are basically just RP'ing and pretending to serve a cause that they completely don't even understand. That's the greatest part about the Legion, everything they do is contradictory and their beliefs are based on falsehoods. Yet they are completely right.

Except the Legion is based entirely around Roman history books Edward Sallow found. Any inaccuracies in the Legion's portrayal of Roman culture is deliberate because recreating Rome isn't what he intended to do.
His whole fascination with Caesar comes from reading a copy of Commentarii de Bello Gallico. The books aren't even that rare, Arcade knows enough Latin and Roman history to know Caesar's full of shit
>>342331829
It's referenced multiple times that the Ceasar's legion that they are emulating isn't 100% accurate because they have multiple belief systems within one train of thought. They think they believe in it, but they don't understand it because it's just a mesh of ideas for a totalitarian rule.

No, they believe in what Caesar has taught them. Where Caesar got the ideas is irrelevant, they follow what he says and to them it's a single, coherent ideology.
>>342331969
>emulating isn't 100% accurate
I don't see how this devalues if they believe in something or not.
If someone believes in something, it doesn't matter how accurate that might be to an outside party.
Besides the Legion isn't emulating rome 100% they're taking ideas and using them to create an identity for themselves. Sorta like the Enclave is.

Late replies because my computer crashed, I tried to start it back up a couple times but something in the software is damaged beyond repair I guess, I'm on a different one right now
But getting back on topic
Skills are in skyrim and they work the same as they always have in TES, when you go to your "perks screen" as you might call it, you'll notice that every perk is on a tree named something, that tree has an experience bar. That tree is a skill and they work the same way they always have, just now you have bonuses you can choose for those skills, leveling up your one-handed without picking any of the perks does give you more one-handed damage, and so on with other skills.
But of course neither of you would ever know any of this because neither of you have ever played skyrim or any elder scrolls game for that matter, don't try to bullshit me on this subject because I have been playing these games for years and know far more about them than you ever will from reading posts on /v/. Especially beginner shit like this.
>>342335529
>>342330234
Well it's more of a redesigned skill system to make the game less of a "you'll become master of everything eventually" and more of a "here's what you are, you can only become better at what you can do"
I figure maybe there would be a perk that would allow you to put a single point into a skill you don't have
>>342335614
>oh shit he knows more about the game than I do! Maybe if I call it bait he'll lose all credibility
Nope my post is still nothing but fact, skyrim has skills and their functionality has never changed.
I want more FO content with OWB level technology.

>>342335737
>I figure maybe there would be a perk that would allow you to put a single point into a skill you don't have
there is that perk in 3 that lets you put up to 10point(i think) into whatever specials you like, it ranks up as you do it.
>"you'll become master of everything eventually"
that is really the game though, it's a casual experience and i guess that's why it's like that.
not like 3/NV didn't have the same problem once you added the levels from the DLCs into the mix.
Isn't that skyrim too though? it has a cap on 100 but with the legendary system you could go beyond that? right?
>>342336115
No, the institute and the think tank are widely different.

without legendary the level cap is 81 since that's how far getting 100 in every skill will get you
legendary just resets the skill to 15 so you can keep leveling, no other benefit
>>342320602
Motherfucker, Joe Cobb is about to fuck up the town and you wanna talk to me now?!
>no armor piercing 12.7mm round

>>342336342
>there is that perk in 3 that lets you put up to 10point(i think) into whatever specials you like, it ranks up as you do it.
This is different though, unlike SPECIAL these don't change your stats, and it would only allow the selection of skills you don't have.
>that is really the game though, it's a casual experience and i guess that's why it's like that.
Right and with this reworked skill system that wouldn't be the case anymore, the only thing you can gain are stats, if you start the game as a master of guns but have no knowledge of medicine, you'll never learn medicine unless you pick the perk that lets you put a point in it and even then it will only be a basic knowledge.
>>342336751
but that's not how it would logically work, if you don't know about something, trying to learn it will make you better at it, that's in a sense how the skyrim system works, you do something and you get better at it over time.
>>342336893
Well it's not a perfect idea, it obviously can be improved upon, but I believe I've started something fantastic here.
>>342329821
there are skills that you level up like in Morrowind and Oblivion and 100 alchemy will give you better results than 15 alchemy even without perks, it's just that perks give a much greater, more significant boost, so it seems the skill level does nothing but unlock perks
>>342336745
That's what you get for using garbage
>>342337138
i think a hybrid system would be better, one that combines the fallout 3 system with skyrim's progressive learning system.
You set your specials at the start of the game, skills are put in normally but instead of getting skill points when you level up you get them by doing the skill thing more.
If you shot with guns more you'll get better at that skill, if you use medicine more you'll get better at that skill and so on.
That way you'll have a start system that respects roleplaying and a progressive system that you'll have to invest in before you can go 100 into everything.
You could put a hard cap on it and say, okay, the max amount of points distributed across all skills is 1000(as an example), that means that if you level up other skills, you'll get worse at something else to compensate.

It's just mostly sentimental value as the gun belonged Randall Clark, and the design reflects the history the gun has been through.

they avoided doing much with the karma system, because it's a horrible system.
>>342337828
it was a good choice.
>>342337578
There's a couple bits of dialog about it
Of top of my head, there's a character in Old World Blues that will comment on it
>>342337828
Well yeah, you just effortlessly conquer the Mojave. Not much to say there.
>>342329004
>Caesar wants it. And Caesar's reasoning is incredibly flawed.
It has some merit. The Mojave has infrastructure and some amount of civilization that The Legion's territory lacks. The Legion won't survive Caesar's death as it is. It needs to be changed. This requires that The Legion take over the Mojave and then become a settled army ruling over a semi-civilized culture.
>>342337578
I'm hoping Bethesda brings it back in the next Fallout and tries to make it hold a lot of power in the game, like if you walk into a town having slaughtered thousands of innocent people with survivors who got away to report your crimes, you'll have a bounty on your head/you'll be attacked on sight
>slaughter half the wasteland
>bounty is in the millions
>people no longer attack you on sight because your presence strikes fear into them
>the only ones who dare attack you anymore are armies of mercenaries that seem to grow and become better equipped with each encounter
That's my dream karma system
>>342337938
>>342337972
>it's okay when Obsidian does it!
Fuck off, I should be allowed to effortlessly conquer the Mojave, not be forced to side against him.
This is actually worse than Bethesda because the option is dangled in front of me without it actually being a functional option.
>>342329147
This sucks. You suck.
>>342338073
that's what the reputation system is for not karma.
this is how karma works:
>you steal something
>everybody magically knows
>you kill someone
>everybody magically knows
>you can somebody fat on the other side of the planet
>everybody magically knows
the karma system is broken from the get go, the reputation system is what you want, you can take disguises and kill people and nobody will know that it was you.
>>342338152
bitch please, either it appeared in the game like that or not at all.
>>342338258
I choose not at all because as is it's a half assed option that tells you to go fuck yourself instead of doing something new.
>>342338013
Thing is, his grand plan of synthesis only applies to conquering NCR. The Mojave and Vegas are just the stepping stone for that, he wants Vegas to be his new capital but by itself it isn't much of a conquest
He has places like Vegas back in Arizona. Two Sun, for one. The only thing the Mojave really lacks is self sufficient tribal societies for him to absorb so he's going to have to spend several more years recovering from his victory before marching on NCR, giving them the time to sort their shit out and maybe put up a proper fight this time without Kimball and Oliver hamstringing their efforts
>>342337412
Before Fallout 4 came out, when we found out that skills weren't really in it, this is how I thought it would be.
I no longer have any optimism.
>>342338353
I think you'll absolutely love Fallout 4 then, you'll never get any of these "options" or "choices" it'll all be streamlined, just for you.
>>342338427
well.... how you like my idea senpai?
>>342337578
it's basically tradition at this point

>you'll never get any of these "options" or "choices" it'll all be streamlined, just for you.
There are no options or choices in the end of dead money, everything leads to killing Elijah
You're kinda preaching to the choir there, OP.
The only people on /v/ who say that NV isn't the best are memesters trying to stir up shit.
>>342311559
posting my list of mods that i use
http://pastebin.com/nBaNgySn
>>342338539
Essentially perfect.
That's why when I thought Fallout 4 would just be a better NV with your system, I planned to buy it.
I'm just glad I had a friend who pre-ordered it on PS4 and PC and we played through it together before I found out how shit it was.
>>342338674
>There are no options or choices in the end of dead money, everything leads to killing Elijah
There are plenty of choices, but they mostly involve the side characters.
That, and choosing to get the worst ending by reading through all of the terminal in the vault and getting locked inside forever.
>>342338713
you have way too many ESSENTIAL mods that i would call niche and optional.

What a fucking cunt.
It shouldn't be an issue because retailers will always sell games a little early if they can get away with it, but because they KNEW their game was shit, nope, gotta shut them down so people still give us billions for a game they know little about.
>>342338784
>There are plenty of choices, but they mostly involve the side characters.
None of those affect the ending, you always kills Elijah
>That, and the second game over that forces you to go back and kill Elijah
You don't get a choice, you are going to kill Elijah whether you like it or not, you are not allowed to choose.
>>342338817

He's the villain. You can either kill him, or you can let him kill himself.
I think he's the only main villain in the game that dies no matter what.
>>342339306
>None of those affect the ending
They do, just not part of the ending with Elijah.
>You don't get a choice, you are going to kill Elijah whether you like it or not, you are not allowed to choose
I didn't say you don't have to kill Elijah.
Despite having to kill Elijah, or sneaking past to leave him there, you still do have a lot of ending choice involving side characters.

>>342339520

>>342339727
The point isn't that obsidian doesn't make mistakes, everyone does, the point is when Pete Hines (and Bethesda to a degree) is confronted with a mistake instead of humbling himself he doubles down. "lol who cares you fucking nerd" kind of attitude.
Who /NVB/ here?
>>342340052
not him, but sunset sarsaparilla feels insanely forced to the point of it feeling like it only exists because Obsidian wanted to leave their mark on the Fallout series, they didn't try to make it more believable at all it was just "well here's this new drink that competes with nuka-cola because we said so"
If they had put more effort into it I don't think anyone would have had a problem with it
>>342338990
How the fuck is this the fault of the players.
>go to retail store
>buy game
>stream game
HOLD IT RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM
If anyone's to blame are the retailers, the people buying the game did nothing wrong. I fucking hate these people. I can understand his desire for control, what I can't fathom are the people "haha you go girl those people are villains, based authoritarians please have sex with my wife".
>>342340130

NO, THAT IS NOT THE SAME AT ALL
Dead money has only ONE ending , it has two game overs that force you to go back and kill Elijah to get the real ending, there is ZERO choice you are forced into one choice and only one choice.
HOW IS THIS SO HARD FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND? I Get that you're an Obsidrone but by now you should be screaming "bait" at me or trying to change the subject, you're just not getting what I'm telling you.
>>342340642
>Kill Elijah
That is NOT being the bad guy, that is being the hero, you are killing the bad guy instead of siding with him or taking the holograms for yourself.
You have NO CHOICE

Bad guys aren't allowed to kill other bad guys? That's very black and white of you.

I choose to kill him, rather than let him kill himself.

The first 2 fallouts aren't even that good. How is being forced to find a water chip better than being forced to find your dad or your son? And it treats joining the mutants as a game over and you can't even join the enclave. Even fallout 4 lets you join the institute.

Different anon, the only problem I've had with it is when scrolling through, it sometimes puts me into third person. Other than that it's a fucking godsend.
I find House to be the best option in Vegas, mainly because he feeds you something about him wanting to send human-populated rockets into space and having that be actually achievable.
I know it's probably a case of him being either delusional or just straight up bullshitting the Courier, but it's a nice thing to strive for, especially after we've fucked up the world so hard.
After that it's probably NCR, Fallout 1 and 2 implied that for all of its problems, the western coast got transformed nicely under NCR's united banners.
And this is one thing that Vegas didn't get right, the cities in the original games actually looked nice, had grass, trees, normal looking buildings, clean streets, proper perimeters, etc. It's been hundreds of fucking years since the bombs fell, you'd think people would start cleaning up a bit.
I'd talk about Bethesda Fallouts but there's really no need, is there.

It took Obsidian 18 months to make a Fallout 3 mod and they still made it buggy as hell on release.
I really don't know what to think of this game, Fallout 4 as bad as it was, as shit as the writing was, and as broken as most of the stuff over that game is, still entertained me better than NV did
While i played through NV, it was around the time i met the Bombers that those long stretches of time where nothing happens and you are walking from conversation to conversation on the wasteland were incredibly boring, since i was siding with Yes Man i thought to myself that if i wanted to fix every faction's problems then that would mean walking from conversation to conversation again and helping people i really wasn't that interested in, but ignoring them would mean less combat, so i decided to eliminate all competition for New Vegas and eventually completed the game. I still felt empty and bored when i finished it
Fallout 4 is a bad game with a lot of problems but NV managed to bore me even more, between a boring game and a bad one i think i choose FO4, i guess i found something there that i didn't find in NV, i completed it so i could say i did at the end
Just asking anons what is it about this game that everyone likes so much

I think you're missing the point. People piss and moan that there is too much "story" in game genres that don't need it, like an FPS. I play an FPS not for the story, but to shoot people.
An RPG is played for the story, and that's why we critique Bethesda's interpretations of Fallout as poor because they do a very poor job at telling a story and immersing people into the world.

Even though you are right, i still think FO4 has the best gameplay of the 3D games
It's one of the reasons why after playing both NV and FO4 i go back to FO4 more often because i feel like i have to sink a lot of time in NV to have fun when in FO4 i literally walk into a building and i got myself a firefight
Call it being a child with ADHD if you want, but it's how i get the most enjoyment out of my games
>>342367221
Interesting world, tons of choices, many unique factions, cool story and characters like Mr. House.
Discovering stuff like being able to side with Mortimer in the Ultra Luxe side quest is fun. Bethesda games feel so limited compared to this.

NV literally has better game-play in every other way, dialogue, leveling, customization. Fuck NV even had it's own crafting system (that no-one used)

>>342369826
You have to use two, ">>" to reply to the OP's post.
One is just green text, anon.
NV is about an independent and strong-minded person, who must overthrow tyrants and decide the fate of a nation.
I can't relate to 3's main character because it's just some nerd with daddy issues, who embarks on a journey to find his dad for no reason. It's silly, it barely makes sense. Can't believe people consider this quality writing, sad.
>>342369963
F4's modding community has been poisoned by self entitled console shits. People have stopped making mods for the PC because they get flooded with messages saying "waah just upload it to the xbox please".
It doesn't help that these console modders steal other peoples work, make a dumbed down console version, then upload it without any original creators credit.
>>342369963
Yes, absolutely.
There is a mod called Project Nevada which adds customization difficulty and better shooting to New Vegas (Dynamic crosshair, improved hitboxes) and makes power armor better.
Literally no reason to play 4 about from the minecraft mode

How do you expect to enjoy a game if you get bored of it? Stop playing it.
Out of curiosity what's boring you? Is it the gameplay?
>>342369726
Oh fuck no, the only thing FO4 has in terms of RPG is "Do i help the Institute or destroy it?"

I still love the FO universe, i played 1, 2, NV and 4 so far. Even though 4 rapes the lore in several points i found it to be an above-average FPS. Though i haven't played much of those in a long time
>>342369963
Nah, you can make combat in NV better but you can't take away the fact that it runs on a shitty engine. It's like trying to polish a turd, it is still a turd (Disclaimer: I do not think NV's combat to be shit, i just coudn't think of a better example)
>>342370168
Pretty much this. Even though I don't like Project Nevada, if all you want is a better FPS and the ability to build your own settlement, simply download Project Nevada and Real Time Settler.
>>342319254

I think it's charming as fuck now. The encounter with the master works because of the graphics and style.

Still sold better than NV ever did
Gotta hand it to the Toddster, he knows what sells and what doesn't
A lot of anons will probably get butthurt by this but if good story telling means "Let's interrupt the player for 10 minutes to tell our sob sad story about our life on the wasteland" that's not good storytelling. Every conversation in New Vegas feels like an info dump (I'm not saying the atrocious conversations in FO4 are good either)
Between a heavy focus on story and a heavy focus on gameplay (Wich by the way, both are possible to have, but none of the 3D games in the series manage to), Bethesda chose the latter, not only for FO4 but also for Skyrim, and guess what? They have the best gameplay and they are also the best selling games from their respective series
Call me normie fuck whatever if you want but there are simple reasons why FO4 ended up being way more popular than NV. And by the way, if you are going to argue about quality then don't bring mods to the table because in that case NV is a boring mess and you know it
>tfw put so many hours into FO4 that going back to NV is like transitioning from a decently working bicycle to one with a rusted chain, no brakes, flat tires, but has a decent novel strapped to the handlebars, which are slightly bent, and the bell doesn't quite work.

I don't know why everyone hates the Automatic Rifle, it's got the highest single round damage of any fully automatic gun and on top of that a pretty high critical chance. The low rate of fire is mostly remedied by the weapon mod, durability isn't an issue with Jury Rigging just fix it up with Service Rifles or Assault Carbines. The spread? Quit trying to snipe with it

We aren't debating whether or not it sold well.
People are idiots who don't know any better, and it doesn't help that you have equally stupid awards bodies and media outlets showering mediocrity with praise.
Somewhere along the lines, what should be an RPG was lost in translation. Todd knows this, which is why, alongside brand recognition and marketing, he sell sub par crap and still make a fortune. Look at Michael Bay. He was a short film director who discovered CGI and tits makes money, and now that's all he does.

Fallout 4 might be shit, but exploring is one of the higher points of the game.
The only complaint I can give on that aspect is that locations in the city are too dense. Too often you'll find a raider camp literally right across the street from a mutant camp.
What kind of allegiance would Raiden have? And what would his SPECIAL look like?
>>342371958

>>342371317
>it sold more and is more popular therefore it's better
Nah, and a new Fallout game was going to sell regardless. He also streamlined the franchise to shit to appeal to a wider audience which is why it's more popular. Also the reason why there's so much more emphasis on gameplay in 4 is because Todd and the rest of Bethesda can't write a story to save their life which is why it's literally the reverse of 3.
>>342371869

>>342371926
>Blantant cherrypicking
no. Slavers and enclave in F3 are just blatant chaotic dumb, Ceaser's legion uses brutality as a way to keep order and restore civilisation
There's no deep philosophy behind the enclave or slavers in 3, maybe in 2 but not 3
>>342371767
That's not a Follower,
That's a member of the Unity church. A really hot one who had an actual voice but I don't remember what if anything she did that was significant. My last FAllout playthrough I was a retard so the only option I had with her was hitting on her.
>>342341929
This is common in the USA though. There are soft drinks like Mellow Yellow, Faygo, Mr. Pibb that are very popular in certain regions but are rarely seen elsewhere. I don't think it was ever stated in New Vegas that Sunset Sarsaparilla was a nation wide hit on the level of Nuka Cola.
>>342372102
If that is the only thing you are picking up on (which incidentally I have no idea where you cherrypicked that from), then your argument is clearly asinine.

This. It's just a West Coast thing, something which Bethesda cannot ascertain which is why they have to shove in Super Mutants, Centaurs, Caps, FEV, The Enclave etc onto the East Coast.
>>342371958
Todd acknowledges that things in FO4 didn't quite work out. It's even well known and pretty out there that one of Fallout 4's biggest flaws was that it seems to under go a huge identity crisis in that it can't decide whether it wants to be an RPG or an Action Shooter.
It's also (very lightly, I'd take this with a grain of salt) that the hiring they did last year was for TESVI, and that TESVI is going to be put on a new engine they're acquiring. Even they know their engine has crippling limitations, and having been built upon for the last decade and a half, is a jumbled fuck of a mess by now.
It would make a lot of sense if they finally decided to lay Gamebryo / Creation Engine to rest.
But like I said - it's a rumour.
>mfw Beshitsdrones
>>342371958
True, but that should show that there is something missing in games like NV, or Oblivion (Since the Oblivion vs. Skyrim argument has most of the same points)
I guess the most of the games in the RPG genre are not for me, i enjoyed games like DAO a lot wich had long conversations but they never felt like an info dump, it was a conversation about the current predictament you were in and your characters around you reacting to your decisions while still having good gameplay and action sequences
FO4's conversations and NV's conversations are actually quite similar, even though a lot of people will disagree with this.
Most of the stuff you can ask NPCs could fit well into the "More info" choice in FO4, but ultimately you decide "Yes i will help you" or "No, thank you/Maybe later". Though, there is more quality writing in NV
>>342372546
Yes. Why would I not. I had more trouble forcing myself to work for the NCR.
>>342372562
What argument?
>NO IT'S DEEP
Even Obsidian themselves admitted that the writing for the Legion was a wreck.
>>342372546
Haven't finished it, got to like level 12 on a melee run siding with the Legion with my 3 INT because only an idiot sides with the Legion. Siding with the Legion cuts you off from way more quests than it offers unless you make peace with NCR, otherwise you're either constantly getting shot at around New Vegas or you can't take to a quest giver because they're shooting at you. Also their loyalty rewards program sucks, the best thing they offer is Lucky Shades.
>>342372546
Of course.With Legion quest expansion mods though. They are a bit too bare bones in the vanilla game.

Not a mess, cut
Legion was about to be expanded greatly, then bethesda happened

I guess Eden's voice was neat and his idea was okay but he was just the master 2.0.
Who did Fallout 4 have?

What about his allegiance? Would he be a Legion guy?

>Todd acknowledges that things in FO4 didn't quite work out. It's even well known and pretty out there that one of Fallout 4's biggest flaws was that it seems to under go a huge identity crisis in that it can't decide whether it wants to be an RPG or an Action Shooter.
Not doubting you, but could we have a sauce, please?

Sawyer said, rightly so, that they could have elaborated on the Legion but that is hardly the same as admitting the writing for the Legion was a wreck.
someone make a new thread

Don't forget to go to Jacobstown and visit your super mutant grandma

Fuck, really? How do you find that out, I had visited the church long after I found out from the Boneyard they were keeping an eye on it but she never gave me that option in dialogue, literally the only option my 4 INT gave me was was

They did, Bethesda is the one that did the fucking bug testing btw and cut the timeline for Basedsidian

Considering the ending of MGR where he disagrees with the senator I would say NCR, maybe House.

About 6 minutes in he touches on things in Fallout 4.
Bethesda might be lazy developers, but Todd himself is very open to criticism and isn't one to just brush it off without consideration.
>>342373175
I knew /v/ warned me about Obsidrones but jesus fucking christ I didn't know it had gotten this bad.
>>342372679
That being said, I highly doubt TESVI is going to be anything amazing. Not so much Todd himself, but Bethesda and Zenimax are well aware what sells now. We won't be getting a Bethesda renaissance anytime soon.
>>342372728
>hat should show that there is something missing in games like NV, or Oblivion
There is. Marketing and brand recognition. You forget that Skyrim sold well because of the advent of "le nerd gamer" culture.

Talk to Nicole then you'll have a secret password to tell Laura because I think she sends you to her I don't remember.
This unlocks more convo with Laura and she becomes a sarcastic qt.

new vegas was basically a fallout 3 expansion pack with 80-90% of the assets/work done for them.
how much time did they really need?
>>342373348
>Bethesda are good boys they dindunuffin.
Companies fuck over other companies all the time. Bethesda aren't any different from EA. Difference is more people are aware now of EA's bullshit.

FO3 is about an independent and strong-minded person, who must overthrow tyrants and decide the fate of the struggling societies of the DC wasteland.
I can't relate to NV's main character because it's just some nerd with revenge issues, who embarks on a journey to find some guy and his chip for no reason. It's silly, it barely makes sense. Can't believe people consider this quality writing, sad.
>>342373545
And Fallout 3 is Oblivion reskinned.
And Fallout 4 is Skyrim reskinned.
What's your point?

do you think farcry is skyrim with guns too?
I'm playing as a dense tribal warrior that wants to be the barbarian king of all the Mojave. I'll probably be friendly with other tribal groups (IE, the Khans and Boomers) but how should I act towards the following?
>Legion
>NCR
>BoS
>Strip families
>>342374029
Pro-Legion/Strip families, anti-NCR/BOS
>>342372728
>FO4's conversations and NV's conversations are actually quite similar, even though a lot of people will disagree with this.
Did you hit Sarcastic?
I've played through both games myself and I would never make this comparison. Fallout 4's dialogue works and reads much more akin to Mass Effect than New Vegas, and not only in the sense that you use a wheel to select them. Your character's personality and inflections are chosen specifically for you, offering you no control in how you say things other than an estimated guess where as NV at least allows you to see what you're saying and making sure it's as close to IC as possible before selecting it.
'Sarcastic' is especially annoying because sometimes I do like my character having a bit of snark, but I would never have selected half of the Leddit-tier 'humour' Fallout 4's sarcastic option presents if I knew what it said beforehand.
Also, if there's only one or two logical choices, NV won't bullshit you with the illusion of choice, they'll put down the 1 or 2 alone, not have 4 options that all end up being the exact same with slightly modded dialogue.

Bethesda isn't BGS, idiot.
That's like saying Viscreal Games is EA.
>>342372546
Not yet. I just restarted my NV because I never finished it a while back. I'm currently doing an NCR run.
>NCR is just a bunch of monotone and mumbling scrubs
>patrolling le memejave almost makes you-- [head explodes from gunshot]
>making me run a bunch of errands
>want more electrical power even though they have the fucking Hoover Dam
>constant scrambling to handle internal affairs
>corrupt people within their government
>MARTIAL LAW
>snoozefest faction
The only perk is that the Legion occassionally sends 4 delivery boys after me that gives me all their equipment and some exp.
I imagine a Legion run to be fun as fuck even though everyone hates you. Chaotic runs tend to be extremely entertaining.
After that I guess I'll do either a House run or Independent. They both seem like they'd be as boring as an NCR run though.
>>342373527
Damn. I thought her being a reserved/shy qt was good on its own
I had a full conversation with Nicole though, she told me about how they were watching the church (hence how I knew to find it) but I never got a chance to ask about Laura as a spy or get that password, I wonder if it wasn't available due to low Int or Cha
Is there a guide of some sort to Fallout conversations where they tell you Int/Cha/Speech prereqs for dialogue options?
>>342369119
If you're into Fallout 4 because of gunfights, why both playing Fallout 4 at all? Why not play Far Cry or Stalker which handle gunplay and exploration much better than Fallout does?
ESPECIALLY Far Cry 3, that has to be my favorite shooter/explorer in terms of the options you have for getting around the island and the ways you can meticulously plan every torturous raid on a base.
