[MEGATHREAD] Fallout 4 || Contraption, Vault-Tec, Nuka World

[ZombiLoin]

it is agile and easy to move in, you're a perfectly capable and superhumanly tough robot man

it's just that i, the player, prefer being on foot and being relatively small then stomping around in a big shiny 'shoot me' sign even though the big shiny shoot me sign actually has a bunch of reasons to ride in it

also the 1000 year fusion core thing is definitely just a plot device to facilitate the player wearing power armor like it's nothing without maintaining it; if anything, the new fusion core system makes way more sense to me because something as powerful as power armor doesn't feel powerful unless even wearing it is a deliberate choice you have to make and an expenditure of some resource

and beyond that the express purpose behind power armor is that it's the fallout universe's equivalent to tanks; extremely tough and can easily shrug off small arms fire and, as an added bonus, extremely mobile and capable of wielding larger ordnance

i mean, it's not like power armor is relatively special to the big players of the fallout universe, brotherhood soldiers and enclave soldiers wear power armor as their standard combat armor- literally nearly every enclave soldier in fallout 2 and fallout 3 has power armor. they're not tanks, they're literally just better armor.

Im sick of everything taking place in california. That state is a spotlight whore.

Yeah but we havent been to California in the new Fallout games yet.

I think its cool how Bethesda made Jet a pre-war drug.
I wonder if any of them even played Fallout 2.

Hey Mr. Nitpick, do me a favor and name a game series that has kept perfectly in line with its lore. Then tell me which ones have done that in a transition between development studios.

Depends. If we are talking about Los Angeles I'd say yes. However I think NYC alone gets way more attention if not the East Coast.

I say we pick some irrelevant place like Idaho. The core region is pretty much done since it's a pretty settle place now and all that remains are pockets of badnits/raiders here there while the rest of the place is has modernizing civilization, grumpy greedy Brahmin barons, and bureaucratic NCR. We must push westward. Just not past the Mississippi.

my vote is on puerto rico

its not game breaking or anything, but there's still no excuse

Maybe they didn't give a forget.

Maybe they didn't give a forget.

"Lets not give a forget about the lore of a game we're developing."
Seeing as this is Bethesda, I wouldnt be surprised.

Its their game now, they can do whatever they want with the lore. If they change it from Interplay's bullstuff then that's what they did.

I can respect that. But its still not cool.

fallout alaska

not like, one city, but the entire state

there are actually a lot of very interesting nods to the rest of the world and the original games lore in fo4 so im willing to believe theres a new team of writers (or at least the old group of writers got more savvy) then the group who did fallout 3 and theyre trying REALLY HARD to run back all the bullstuff that was in 3

like the worldbuilding in 4 feels way more believable and a lot of the nods back to 3 make 3 retroactively more interesting, like the idea that elder lyons' attempts to make the brotherhood a perfect powerful peace corps was the biggest misadventure in the world

not interesting enough to replay (especially with 4 sitting right in front of me and kicking it's ass in) but like, not just this bullstuff nonsense 'let's take everything we know about this setting and world and throw it out the window' thing either

[Tayasaurus]

A snowy fallout would be freakin cool
