| Posted: 12 Aug 2020 12:03 PM PDT Becoming an open world FPS game was the best thing to ever happen to the fallout franchise. I mean that with absolute conviction. There is truly no better way to immerse yourself in a post apocalyptic world than making it a first person open world experience. Add good RPG elements & voila, masterpiece I am one of those people who believes New Vegas is the best fallout game, & to be quite honest, had new Vegas been another top down isometric RPG, I would not like it half as much as I do now I am in no shape or form a top down rpg hater. I played fallout 1 & a bit of 2 and while I wasn't crazy about them, I am willing to say they're fun, good games in their own right To further exemplify this, I am also currently playing Divinity Original Sin 2, & I absolutely love that game. It's probably in my top 5 favourite games of all time. I am not against top down, turn based RPG's. But fallout, a roleplay game set in a post nuclear apocalypse where survival & immersion are a big part of it? Yeah, can I get that in open world & first person please? [link] [comments] |
| My Gf has some serious dedication to fallout 4 Posted: 12 Aug 2020 04:10 PM PDT So my girlfriend started playing fallout 4 when we first got together around 3-4 years ago, and after moving house she found her notebook where she wrote down everything about the game to help her and others play through how they wanted to. Now this book is about 30+ pages long and goes from the trophies you can get and how to have a certain ending (minuteman, railroad etc) all the way through to unique weapons and magazines, there is literally everything you could ever need to know about the game all neatly put into this book. I've gamed for years but I have never had the dedication to a game to do something like this, it amazes me everytime I read through it (she even has one for the witcher 3) does anyone else here do something like this? I would be interested to see what people have done if so Edit: she got excited you all like the idea and have shared your own so she posted a link on this thread, look for TashTheTRex Edit 2: turns out her accounts too new so it got deleted but here's the link for everyone.

| Posted: 13 Aug 2020 04:37 AM PDT The title is more of a shock to myself. I came from the very dogmatic camp of "Fallout New Vegas is the best fallout game next to 1-2, Fallout 4 will never be half the game NV could be." Etc. But after my 999th play through of NV I thought I would give FO4 a go and honestly... Its not that bad... There ARE still SIGNIFICANT problems with it. Make no mistake and I will always maintain that the story of NV is superior. But the gameplay of 4 is such a vast improvement over NV it very almost makes it easy to overlook. The gunplay is smoother making fighting engaging, which is good because that's what you'll be doing for 80% of all quests. The modification system for weapons and armour is an absolute delight compared to NV And while I'm not in support of a fully voiced protagonist, having mods that silence them is a fine enough fix that leaves me with no complaints there. Quite the opposite in fact, because I use a mod that allows me to press 'X' and the character will deliver a rude line like telling people to fuck off. That's great. But honestly the biggest reason FO4 has eaten up so much of my time is settlement building. I know, I know it's the one of the most dividing aspects of this fandom but if I go ahead and look at all the HUNDREDS of hours I've spent on cities skylines, rimworld, Factorio, terraria and least we forget Minecraft. It's clear I like my building games. So while I still have my problems with FO4 and believe me, I still do.. It certainly isn't as bad as some of you make it out to be. [link] [comments] |
| Think the Deathclaws on 3 and NV are much more menacing and legit threatening. Posted: 13 Aug 2020 04:05 AM PDT There's just something about their humanoid-like stance that has that really "OH SHIT!" effect. Especially when you see them charging at you with their arms and claws spread about. And especially in high levels like the variants (Blind, Alpha, Legendary, Rawr etc.) are CRAZY fast and brutal. The moment you see one already lunged at you in kissing range as you activate VATS, better get your stimpak spamming hand ready or reload your last save. And they felt nerfed in 4, and that grabbing animation is just annoying. Sure they have the quadruped animation going, but eh... They look like big dogs especially those flesh fangs makes them look goofy up close. FO3 and NV's are like living heat-seeking missiles that eats Mini Nukes for breakfast then straight up rush you at Mach infinity before you could even brandish your best weapon. Their arm spread as they charge you are like an open challenge, "Come at me bro!" as they lunge at you chipping off 20-70% of your health. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Aug 2020 10:14 AM PDT I see fallout 3 get a lot of crap from fallout fans, and how it's outshined by new Vegas (Which it is to some extent), but does anyone agree with me that fallout 3 is still a fantastic game? Unpopular opinion: I think it has the best main story in the series. Edit: I know fallout 4 gets a lot of crap too, but I see fallout 3 get more (personally). [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Aug 2020 08:50 PM PDT Set 15 years after the Great War, you a dweller of Vault 99 in Staten Island NYC. You begin with character creation and your daily routine. You leave your quarters where you live alone and head to the diner for breakfast. Depending on your SPECIAL, your occupation is either Chief of Security, Senior Engineer, Psychotherapist or Vault Loyalty Inspector. You head off to your workplace and talk with your coworker and are introduced to a mechanic in detail. The Security Chief gets to practice at the range and subdue a prisoner, the Engineer uses the workshop to build a new meat cloning device for the food department, the therapist talks some patients out of their trouble and the Inspector sneaks into a dwellers quarters to spy on them. You can choose to be an honest cop or a corrupt one, a helpful handyman or a mad scientist, a manipulator or an advisor, a loyal dweller or a ruthless mole. After this you head about doing some other common tasks to introduce the other characters of the vault and get comfortable with any new gameplay changes. Later at dinner, the old overseer makes an announcement that the vault will be opening soon and he is not strong enough to lead the people, so he will step down. Everyone in the diner encourages you to run and your coworker is eager to be your running mate. Fast forward a month and it's the day of emergence. You are the Overseer and the vault opens. You, escorted by a security team, clear out the neighborhood of mutant pests and establish a foothold. The Ex-Overseer and Vice Overseer (coworker) advise you and say that they've heard about one successful settlement, Wall Street. Taking either one expert guard or going alone you establish contact with Wall Street, a Laissez-Faire haven and along the way learn that the five boroughs are in different states of distress. The poorer areas like Queens could not afford premium safeguards and are irradiated horrorscapes. The wealthier areas are relatively safe although many raider gangs prowl about. You return to find your community thriving using their GECK (here they would correct what was said about the GECK in 3). The success of the Vault 99 colony is envied by the Hamptons, where agricultural barons rule over serfs that farm their lawns. They raid your colony and now you must lead your people to destroy the threat. [link] [comments] |
| Just some niche advice for Fallout 4 for those annoying radiant quests Posted: 12 Aug 2020 10:24 PM PDT this applies to pretty much any forced quests but its most effective on those quests settlers give you whenever they are near you. If they force a conversation onto you if you press the camera button and look away start walking away from them and you don't even have to say no and get a dislike from one of your companions. Don't know why I posted this but I just find it funny just walking away from someone asking for help and they don't bother asking you again if you fast travel. [link] [comments] |
| New(kinda) player to Fallout 4 - need help/tips Posted: 13 Aug 2020 02:36 AM PDT Ok so I've bought fallout 4 goty edition yester day. I've played this game firts when it came out on my ps4 but after a while I was turned off and couldn't focus on the game because the lag/fps and controls were so bad (imo). I love this universe, its amazing. I love post apo stuff and fallout just hits the spot. But I've never finished any game. Planning to do that with Fallout 4 since I can run it pretty good on my pc now. I just need some tips according to gameplay.. like item management (i always get lost in all these items I pick up), which perks or special stats are useless, what not to do. But dont tell me "go here and there and you will find fat man". Don't lead me to good weapons and stuff. Idk if that post makes any sense but when I play it now I get that feeling that somehow im not doing what im supposed or im missing something. [link] [comments] |
| Is it possible to still get Blind Betrayal after the MM Ending Posted: 12 Aug 2020 11:18 PM PDT I only got up to liberty reprime and best the game with the Minutemen but gave a copy of the institute holotape to the Brotherhood so is it still possible? [link] [comments] |
| When playing FO3, should I try to finish all the side quests in order? Posted: 12 Aug 2020 11:09 PM PDT I've been playing FO3 the past few days (new player to it all), and I'm trying to figure out the best way to get the most out of the game. I've been working on the Megaton side quests, and already completed the one with Lucy's letter, already completed chapter one of the survival guide (currently working on chapter 2), and disarmed the nuke. Should I keep slogging through the side quests or should I move on to the next part of the story at the radio station? I'm just worried that if I move on, I won't be able to finish the side quests from Megaton. [link] [comments] |
| Fallout: Alaska Ideas and Concept Posted: 13 Aug 2020 02:42 AM PDT So I made a post a while back about a what-if scenario in which NYC was the next setting for Fallout. I believe the best place next is Alaska, the last frontier. Now I live in VA, so I got nothing about the state itself, but I think with the open-ended lore behind it as well it's a connection to the war. I think I want to incorporate aspects of that. A mini-cold war of sorts, from the concept of capitalism v communism and how much the concept of war and division can prevent the wasteland from healing. Now I have no connections to the guys from Fallout: Last Frontier and before writing had no idea it existed, but I hope to see what you guys think of my writing as this is a form of exercising my skils. Also, I hopefully don't come off as biased in either way and intend this post to be about a fun Fallout game and not to do with real-world politics so with that out of the way, here it is: Fallout: Alaska Setting: Oct 23, 2077. A day to live in infamy for America. Where our green grass, rich soil, and the star-spangled banner was scorched and perverted into a form we no longer recognize. Alaska, the last frontier was also America's last memory. A short victory to a long-lasting barbarity is all that matters now. Those who live in the cold, see the relics of a bygone era, a time of war and horror. Capsules to a world where the two armies stood, brave men who fought and died for their belief, and the beliefs of their nation. A nation that is dead. Chinese, reds, communism? Terms knew by many patriots, but to the wastes, hold very little when survival is the only thing in everyone's mind. Plot: You are called the savior. A wastelander who got caught in the wrong time. You were ambushed by unknown assailants and have amnesia. With no prior knowledge of who you are, you attempt to find out about Alaska and whose who. Depending on how you act early game and your personality, you'll get pieces to the puzzle to fix who were. Leading you to one type of playstyle, you are good you find out places you enter people who knew you before the amnesia will comment on your generosity despite you not knowing said actions. Faction: People's Hope: A communist faction that originated from the chinese's policy in radicalizing the Alaskans into their ideology by distributing communist books in conquered lands of Alaska. The books surviving the elements managed to end up in the hands of wastelanders and used the book as a guiding principle to reform their society. Their city is called Jingwei and are in constant war with their rivals the Patriots. They appear friendly from the get-go and try to distribute materials to those in need. Such as stimpacks Patriots: Those who saw that the end of the world was caused by communism and the Chinese. In their world view, they hold militaristic and nationalist values and worship pre-war American values. Patriots seek out and in their attempt to right off any degeneracy and perversion deemed to be from Marxist plots. Despite their outward paranoia, they're a group that wish to bring more wastelanders into their fold and try to best replicate pre-war America. Mainly through red scare tactics, nationalism, and Christianity. Like People's Hope, they're friendly and when you first meet a member they offer to sell you stimpacks. Through the robust innovations in industry and capitalism, they seek to rebuild America into its former glory. More will come if any are interested, and I am open to suggestions and ideas to improve.

| What would you like to see in a Fallout game set in Alaska Posted: 13 Aug 2020 02:17 AM PDT Personally I'd like to see Johnny Horton's song, "North To Alaska" be included in the soundtrack. [link] [comments] |
| You know you have played too much Fallout, when you start calling Las Vegas New Vegas Posted: 12 Aug 2020 10:47 AM PDT |
| Posted: 13 Aug 2020 05:15 AM PDT This is something I have been thinking for a while that I wanted to discuss with yall. Now, we all know Fallout isn't a "realistic" series. And by that I don't mean the classical lack of realism of videogames (magic stims, being able to shrug off bullets, 90% of the population being raiders, etc etc), I mean more at a lore-wise level. The games take place some 200 years after the bombs dropped, but they look more like the war happened 20 years ago. There are still supermarkets with lootable edible food, settlements if present are just cobbled together haphazardly, people have forgotten how to use a broom, vegetation is almost non-existent, etc.
Now, I am aware that this is something that ticked up when the franchise fell into Bethesda's hands: Fallout 1 and 2 display a more established civilization, and New Vegas does describe, even if we don't really get to see it, an advanced and established NCR with railroads, construction, political organisation, etc, while New Vegas itself is more intact than anything else we ever see, but 3 and 4 especially display a world that definitely does not look like 200 years have passed. Even if you argue that the presence of the Super Mutants and Institute is responsible for setting these areas back, I don't think it would be to such a degree, and even then, the ruins should be covered in vegetation, buildings would be completely looted, places that are safer like Megaton would see people take more care of things like cleaning the gunk off of everything, etc. Even in New Vegas you can clearly see the "Fallout Aesthetic" of cobbled together buildings, abandoned pre-war buildings and ruins, etc. And that is fine, I like that aesthetic, but the entire reason I am making this post is to gather opinions: Would you like to see a game with a more "realistic" environment, more similar to what our world would look like 200 years after Armageddon, or have a game set some 20 years after the bombs fell and following the tales of the survivors? Of course, I think that the far more likely outcome is the current style of games, but this is all hypothetical.
The way I see it, both are interesting and display advantages and disadvantages from a lore and game-play point of view, these are just some non-exhaustive ones:
For a game set 20 years after the end: Pros:
Cons:
For a game set 200 years after the end, but "realistic": Pros:
Cons:
Now, I know that the series will almost definitely continue its current path, and I can't say I disagree, I was just interested in hearing your opinions, grievances with the current state, suggestions for the future, perhaps for a spinoff, etc! [link] [comments] |
| Can someone make a Fallout mod that’s is like the half-life mod crack life please Posted: 12 Aug 2020 11:13 PM PDT |
| In your opinion, what are the factions in the game related to in real life?? Posted: 12 Aug 2020 06:31 PM PDT The institute reminds me alot of MIT or any Scientology cult, The BoS reminds me of nicer Nazis, but idk about Minuteman or The Railroad lol. [link] [comments] |
| Best experience with any Fallout game? Posted: 13 Aug 2020 05:00 AM PDT Mine would have to be Fallout 3, I didn't do any missions so decided to just explore the wasteland, it's the most fun I've ever had, I'd played the game countless times but realized how much I'd missed. So many locations I missed, easter eggs I found and unique weapons I haven't collected before. Was nice to relax and just explore and appreciate the game. [link] [comments] |
| Sierra Madre. Oh my god. [SPOILERS] Posted: 12 Aug 2020 07:36 AM PDT The game ended, but the music didn't end. The whole Sinclair, Domino affair hit too close to home... for the love of God. I cried my eyes out while thinking of my dad and trying to get all the pre-war money. I've read all the lore and explored all the locations in the Sierra Madre. Fuck man it sucks. The whole thing. The guys who made this DLC is either extremely creative or it is legit straight from a real life experience. It's so fucking sad. I'm a lifelong gamer. This is the only game that made me cry like a baby. What happened to everyone is just so sad. I have no other words to describe it. [link] [comments] |
| Can you use hot sauce to find out if people are synths Posted: 12 Aug 2020 01:15 PM PDT Hypothetically if you were trying to find out if a person was a synth or human, would you be able to like sneak some super hot hot sauce on food and see if they react? [link] [comments] |
| Questions regarding Fallout 4 GOTY Posted: 13 Aug 2020 04:05 AM PDT Hi everyone, I never updated the basic PS4 edition of F4 to keep the material duplication glitch active. As I have a bit of time for myself this month, I thought about buying the GOTY to play the DLCs, but I'd like to know if the GOTY will force me to update the game? I guess I can stockpile tons of material before updating, but I'd like to play rather than duplicate for hours... Thanks for your advice! [link] [comments] |
| Are there any visual mods you guys would recommend for Fallout 4??? Preferably for Xbox. Posted: 12 Aug 2020 05:12 PM PDT I've downloaded a bunch of mods you lot suggested (ty btw) and they're all sick asf, but damn bro Fallout 4 looks so dry💀 [link] [comments] |
| Need help sorting a bug in Fallout 4. Posted: 13 Aug 2020 02:48 AM PDT So I got the game when it came out (disc) but it was stolen by my brother and I never finished. A few days ago I saw it on sale in my Xbox gaming library and bought the download version (instead of disc obviously). Weirdly all my data had been saved? Anyway on to the issue. I'm in the mission Blind Betrayal and had just finished with the Liberty Prime and the objective is to speak with Elder Maxson, however I can't interact with him whatsoever. He spits out the same line over and over and I can't go forward from there. I've tried re setting the game, and my console, but still have the issue. I noticed it as well as I tried a few small missions I never finished, but still have been able to do some others so it's hit and miss. Has anyone else ever had this and know how to fix it? Someone tried telling Meir was because I had the mission 'The Nuclear Option' but I haven't even gotten to that mission yet. Any help would be appreciated, I've tried looking it up on google and even requesting help within the game and the support team, with no avail. Though I'm worried it could it be from switching from disc to download? I don't even know if that's possible but I have dearly missed this game and want to finish. Update: I thought it was just that one mission but it's happened on every one I've tried to complete thus far now. [link] [comments] |
