literally the first time you meet the legion in new vegas is when you find nipton destroyed, everyone dead, and vulpes talking exactly like a fascist about the """degenerates""" of the town
the first time i played i just shot vulpes and sided with the ncr
you could say the same witb Senator Armstrong from MGR (I have not played the game but I know the main gist of the plot)
I'm playing fnv again
I'm at that part of the game where it's a shit ton of walking
omw to novac
cruntchy pixel shadows ๐ญ
fuck you lol
thats the whole game
Lmao
Honestly? not being able to actually sprint kills it for me
I have a bunch of hours in the game tho
not when you have unlocked every location
I am SOOOOOOOO glad I played FNV first
I don't think I could go back to it after FO76, 100% for the lack of sprinting
I gotta find a movement speed mod
Who was thinking of trying it in the past?
Was it @rich girder?
i think i mentioned it awhile back
ooo ill check it out though when i get the chance this week
very fitting lmao
thankfully the rest of my work week is light, so i should be able to check it out soon
if i get this work at home job im looking at, i might look into it more. i still need to play fallout 3, ive had it since it was free but its a pain in the ass to get to work
I feel that
I still need to play 3 as well
I have it, and played a little bit, but after I finished New Vegas I was like "Hmmmmm 3 or 4...?" and I kinda started playing them both to get a feel for each, and decided to play through 4 instead and come back to 3. I stll haven't beaten 4 so I haven't come back to 3. ๐
I kinda want to restart 4 because it's been so long, and after having a better understanding of the engine in 4/76 and certain game mechanics I feel like I'd do a lot better
ALSO

I'm pretty hyped. From the little I've heard, it seems like the people working on it are passionate about the franchise and are working to keep things lore-friendly and keeping the tone right, so I'm feeling pretty cautiously optimistic.
Inb4 halo show
recently picked up Fallout 3 for the first time
it's fun but good lord the world feels so empty
which i guess is the point but
grrr where are my funny little quests
@echo mountain There's a free trial of Fallout 1st right now
You can throw all your junk and ammo in storage boxes and take a load out of your stash
Even if you don't have time to play, I'd recommend hopping on and doing that even if only to store stuff
I have time but my sister has been wanting to play the new Spider-Man game
Still, strongly recommend popping in for just 5 minutes to store as much as you can in the stash and ammo boxes! I think it's available for a week
There's an updated version of that last one (my favorite one) that has "how high into these mountains can I build?" in that little gap at the top in the upper left corner, but it's doesn't have the outlines
@echo mountain In the second one, you went from "just mess tbh" to "classic newbie camp" lol
I went from classic newbie camp to a couple iterations of pre-war house, edging into pro gamer pad, and I've thrown a bit of greenhouse in there as well.
I've also dabbled a bit in Cube but usually end up expanding on it
"I enjoy my camp being nuked" is where I want to go
Haha
I actually just visited a camp down there yesterday
It wasn't really a camp so much as it was a platform/base for fighting the scorchbeast queen. I don't know if they really count since they're not regular "camps" but the real stereotype of camps down there shouldn't be "I enjoy my camp being nuked" is really "I enjoy launching nukes and my camp is just a tower of turrets, workbenches, and stash boxes"
somg flat ground would be nice tbh
What's funny is my first camp was actually in "10 water purifiers aren't enough" and I didn't even have a water purifier plan at that point in time, and didn't have river access in my camp anyway
the area I'm in rn is at a slight incline and is annoying to build on
Yeah, inclines suck. That's a big reason why I moved from the spot I was at in the Savage Divide for the longest time.
I think I have ten water purifiers in my camp lol
I have three medium ones and like seven water colors lol
Yeah, but unless you moved your base, they're not the industrial ones that have to be placed IN WATER, right?
they are not
they're just like rain collectors or underground water pumps or something
My second camp was in weenie hut jr, third and longest was in "why does my camp keep getting nuked?" ๐ but I was juuuust outside the blast zone and never actually got nuked. (Almost did ONE TIME because I wasn't paying attention until it was almost too late though.)
Briefly had a camp in "Don't you just love the chemical glow?"
I think mine is between the glow and weenie hut jrs
Currently have camps in "Why does my camp keep getting nuked?" (but moved slightly from original location), "free states forever" "cool kid zone" and the unlabeled area just to the right of "the camp placing meta" and just under "lakebed camps ftw"
Yeah, you're either just inside weenie hut jr or just north of it...hard to tell exactly
If you want flat land, the whitesprings golf course is mostly flat, but also popular to build on for that reason. The dried lake is pretty flat too, IIRC
how much is it to have more than two camp slots
Good question... Lemme check
I think 1,000 atoms per slot, but sometimes they go on sale for 500
damn
I have like 5k atoms rn from FO1st
I want FO1st again but I will wait and see if I actually play for a significant amount of time before buying it lol
Honestly IMO the camp slots are one of the most useful things in the atom shop. Most of it is cosmetic.
Yeah, my subscription is going to run out soon and I'm hesitant to renew because I play so sporadically. The yearly deal is a better deal, but I didn't play for like 7 months lol.
But I also did log in most days to get my free items and did get my monthly perks...and the extra atoms are still nice
I will say gun skins are a nice cosmetic to get because it prevents you from accidentally scrapping your weapon
also they look cool
I really want to use the handmade rifle or radium rifle again
but neither of those are very good lol
I haven't tried either so I don't really have an opinion on them lol
I've really been loving my Tesla Rifle lately but I think I crafted it without the perk that gives weapons increased durability so it breaks SO OFTEN. Probably also because it's automatic.
damn
it looks like the radium rifle was buffed by fixing it's attachment learn chance as well as allowing for explosive rounds legendary effects
It's Time To Try The Radium Rifle in Fallout 76.
I rolled a really good combination of effects on a radium rifles that's been collecting dust. It's time to take it for a spin and see what it can do.

watching this rn
seems good to me
I wish I could test out builds and guns without spending hours grinding for the perks and parts
@next violetdo you still wanna play tonight
@echo mountain Sorry just saw this...yeah!
I'm just finishing up some cleaning but I can hop on shortly
Ok
Okay I've got food so I'm not going to hop on VC right away but I am gonna log into the game
I'll hop into VC when I'm done eating though
@echo mountain
@next violet
Ooh sick
@next violet if you wanna play tonight I am down
I want to but I don't know if I'll have time... I have a lot to get done today. But I'll definitely let you know if I'm able to!
Ok
I'm trying to make a build and every time I change something my guns seemingly do less and less damage 
either that or story quests just have much harder enemies than normal enemies
I'm honestly not sure
I've never heard anyone mention it, but I also wouldn't be surprised if they were
Although I've definitely changed some things around and used different armor that on paper should've been better, but then I got annihilated
Sometimes you have to just keep experimenting until you find what works best for you, because there are so many factors
What buffs you're utilizing, if any, what other perk cards work with what you're using
And it's not always intuitive
Right now using the thirst zapper has worked the best lol
But that ammo is expensive
Today we take a look at the fastest wasy to get Nuka Cola Quantum ammo for your weaponized Nuka Cola Thrist Zapper!

Honestly I think you're at the point in the game where shit becomes really tedious and everything seems expensive...I swear the difficulty is a bell curve
Starts out easyish and gradually gets a bit harder, then it peaks, and starts going back down as you flesh out your build until you eventually become super OP
When I was at the point you're at, I was constantly scrounging for ammo for my shotgun and my flamer, I could never get enough lead or acid. I never had enough ballistic fiber to repair my armor.
I have plenty of ammo for things like my lever action and shotguns, probably thanks to you, but they're not dealing big enough damage lol
although going all in on the Quantum Zapper would be really fun
50% explosive damage reduction + 45% from fireproof
although I need a better legendary effect than bloodied. it does deal insane damage when I'm at low health but that's not fun to constantly spam healing items since I'm always on the brink of death
True true. Not the best combo.
or maybe I should be using the explosive damage mod and perk and then rely on stealth and damage resistance perks
but stealth sounds boring
at least for an explosive weapon lol
Everyone says damage resistance perks aren't worth it and to go for the damage reduction/avoidance ones instead
Apparently after a certain point more damage resistance doesn't do much, I guess?
Ones like these I think are recommended
Especially Serendipity and Dodgy
yeah
okay. I mean the thirst zapper is easy because I believe only two perks help it (damage and explosion radius)\
point being that there issn't much I need for it besides those and survival perks
@echo mountain @next violet did you guys see the fallout TV show reveal?
I did not see it but I saw people talking about it
@next violet you wouldn't happen to have the dense torso mod would you?
Yep! I'm pretty hyped
For what armor? I don't think so...I don't think I even knew that was a thing tbh 
Any
I'm not home right now but I can check later
I'm ar work so there's no rush
Could try server hopping to find it
As with other mods, loose dense mods may be randomly sold by Responder, Raider, Brotherhood, and Free States vendors. They may also be found randomly in the Savage Divide or Toxic Valley.
There's also the one sold by MODUS but that's for the scout armor and I'll have to check if that's even tradeable. I THINK it is, and if so I can definitely go buy it as long as I have enough caps
Yep! Got it earlier ๐
@next violetwant to play tonight
I'm playing Cities: Skylines 2 right now but I might be down to play in a little bit
But I also didn't take my Adderall today so I'm pretty zonked so idk if I'll be very talkative
cool. I'll be in VC if you decide to join
Realistically I'm probably going to go take a bath and go to bed because I have to get up early af tomorrow 
that's cool
ok well time to AFK at workshops for gold I guess lol
using stealth to loot a location is much harder than shooting your way through it
but I got to level 100, finally made the chinese stealth armor (which is worse than my normal armor) and found a vendor selling a dense mod so I can use my thirst zapper without oneshotting myself
although I am torn on doing a stealth crit rifle build and a thirst zapper build.
I like running up and shooting things in the face too much for stealth 
I keep the Chinese stealth armor on me at all times mostly because I don't use power armor and it's the only non-power armor armor in the game that will protect you from rads enough to survive a nuke zone
The hazmat suit removes your armor right?
Yeah
Granted, there usually aren't many enemies within a nuke zone except for certain areas...but if you're farming flux (the main reason to go into a blast zone) you'll need to find enemies to get the required items to stabilize the flux.
a level 7 started the event when I was the only one there 
it wasn't hard but I had never done that before so I was just wandering around lol
Yeah that one is confusing if you haven't done it before
Takes a while to figure out where the waiters hang out and where all the centerpieces and silverware spawn
And you gotta keep the waiters alive
Sucks if there aren't a lot of people participating
I don't mind it but I think it's a lot of people's least favorite event
and just like that I used 50% of my thirst zapper ammo lol
I know but I don't have many melee weapons worth using
Fair
I just made myself a bow build and it KICKS ASS except at Moonshine Jamboree it was hardly doing any damage and I don't know why
I still have 50 shots in my thirst zapper and I can craft more after I get more nuclear waste
I know it was a resilient mutation but that just means I can't KILL them, but it should still do the same amount of damage
weird
Unless that's literally all the damage the enemies could take without dying, maybe?
they are taken down to 1hp
my thirst zapper with my bloodied unyeilding stuff was doing 1400 damage a shot
so i dunno what happened. wrong loadout?
Okay yeah that's what I thought
No, I checked!
I routinely get like 300+ damage on a regular hit and like 900-1000+ on a crit and I was doing like...100, 70, and even 0
maybe those enemies are resiliant to that type of damage or something? dunno how damage numbers work in this game
Maybe
the 0 was probably the 1hp enemies
Yeah, probably
I think that's what made me realize it was a resilient event lol
Totally forgot that it was the top of the hour mutated event
Oh you're right
I don't think the event started 30 minutes ago
The top of the hour one was swarm of suitors
Unless that was an hour ago
But still, definitely didn't start 30 minutes ago
๐ค
I thought it was just once an hour but apparently not
I think I figured out why my bow was being shit last night
It's got to do with distance
I think the damage it outputs is like a bell curve...too close and it's not going to pack a punch, too far away and it loses some momentum/is more likely to miss, but if I'm pretty far away it's a BEAST
I believe so
Actually, I have no idea
Coming right out of the bow I imagine it would still pack a really hard punch ๐ค
๐คทโโ๏ธ
I can understand maybe something about the acceleration and having a range where the bow is most effective
but like
unless you are right on top of someone, shooting a bow from five feet away would still really hurt
I played a bit more last night and I'm wondering if it also has something to do with buffs, both from food and perk cards...it just seems to vary so wildly
ok im just on the struggle bus now
I got a semi-decent flamer so I thought I'd use that
oh but I need all the weight reduction perks to not be over encumbered al the time
but the flamer requires nine strength points for max damage
which doesn't leave me enough for strong back and traveling pharmacy ๐ญ
Oof yeah, gotta find a 90% weight reduced flamer
it's not the flamer's weight
I can eat 10lbs or however much it weighs fine enough
but to maximize damage I need three three star heavy weapons perk cards and then I have 6 points left for like 7 points worth of carry weight reducers/carry weight limit increasers
and I am such a kleptomaniac in games, grabbing everything I can, which requires me to have traveling pharmacy and strong back maxed out lol
Oh, fair
Honestly I felt the same way for a really long time
I've gotten better about not hoarding EVERYTHING, and it hasn't been so much of an issue since I started selling all my excess stuff to vendors, throwing it in my own vending machine, or donating it, as well as going all in on mutations
Mutations and food buffs help a lot
You might want to look into the carnivore mutation
Picked up F3 while it was free on epic games the other day, looking forward to another playthrough
fo76 is horrid
i bet for fo5 they're just making 76 singleplayer
For any/all discussion of the Fallout series
I'm playing New Vegas for the first time in a while and I just wanted to say how much I absolutely fucking love Cass. ๐
Arcades good
The eyebot in Lonesome Road is pretty great too
Oh yeah ED.E is good
I like fallout new vegas but I like the old 90's Isometric ones a bit more like fallout 2
Great story telling
I tried playing the first Fallout and I couldn't figure out how to play it and gave up after like an hour 
I should go back and try again because I've heard they're great
The original fallout is really hard
Fallout 2 I prefer because it's easier and more fun
My issue is it's just very not intuitive with the controls and such
Yeah
Click to move is hard to adapt
Plus turn based can be annoying
I can really only play those games in like 2 hour intervals without getting angry
Yeah looks like I played for 50 minutes LOL
Yep
Damn
I do
The gameplay style took a little getting used to but it's addicting once you get into it
The fact that there's ALWAYS more to do is helpful too. I've got that many hours in it and I still have so many unfinished quests and a TON of the map is still unexplored.
Yeah it's a big map
I really like fallout tactics but it's definitely not for everyone
Plus the multiplayer aspect is fun, so @green moon and I can play it together
Oh yeah that's good too
There's this game called Fallout Online: Reloaded that I play a lot and it's basically fallout 1 and 2 combined but with multiplayer
I definitely get why FO76 isn't for everyone though, although it has improved a TON since launch
Yeah I've heard about that
Yeah I hope so lol
I last played a year ago
I've been grinding Fallout Online reloaded with my friend for a monrh
I played FO76 on a free trial week not that long after launch, and it just felt so EMPTY, which I get was the POINT...which is a great idea in theory but it made for...not very fun of a game. They could have at least added like, non-feral ghoul NPCs instead of ONLY robots with super limited dialogue and holotapes. Now the land has been settled so there are plenty of NPCs to give the world a bit more life, but I don't know why they don't have more non-feral ghouls. I think there's only like two non-feral ghoul NPCs in that game.
Yeah
I know the wastelanders expansion added a lot though
Like actual human NPCS and a main quest line and more quests and stuff
I heard 76 on launch just kinda felt aimless and like you said empty
Yeah, it really did
Fallouts still my favorite game franchise and has been for a decade
But the atmosphere of Appalachia hooked me in and I was REALLY unsure whether I'd actually like it enough to play it so I held off on buying it for a really long time. I rely so heavily on VATS and pausing by going into my pip-boy menu in New Vegas that I was like "I'm gonna have to change my entire play style with 76...
" but obviously I ended up really enjoying it haha
But after that free trial I couldn't get it out of my mind and the map was just so pretty that I was like...fuck it, and bought it when it was on sale at one point
I first started playing the Fallout games in...2018 I think?
Oh nice a new thread
too bad I've only played like 30 minutes of fall 3 and new Vegas
Banned
You can't be in the cool kids club anymore
V.A.T.S seems a bit pointless in 76
I've used it maybe twice and it hasn't been much help
Actually maybe 2019
I still use VATS a lot. It just feels a lot less like cheating haha
Ah yeah I started playing FNV in May 2019
Damn, looking at my achievements I'm remembering just how obsessed I was lmao. Most of the ones I have were earned within a month, maybe two months within starting the game
NV is addicting
All the mod support it has to is insane
Someone made a whole new fallout game just with the NV engine as a mod
Those are pretty rare
Fallout 76 is the shit dude
I hope more people join the thread
It is a lot of fun and it shouldn't be overlooked
It's not as bad as the ps2 fallout game
Tf
Fallout: Brotherhood of steel on the ps2 is the worst fallout game
Nothing comes close to it
It's a overheard beat em up with the worst feeling gameplay and storytelling
Atleast 76 is fun and has good gameplay
Oh
Brotherhood of steel is the closest thing we'll get to a chicago fallout

Fuck me I want a real chi town fallout. But there's a lot of issues with that
True
My fallout list from best to worst
Fallout: New Vegas
Fallout: 2
Fallout: 3
Fallout: 4
Fallout: Tactics
Fallout: 76
Fallout: 1
Fallout: Shelter
Fallout: Brotherhood of steel
Worst to best?
I meant best to worst
The worst Fallout game ever is new vegas.... Fallout shelter is way superior
Fallout Shelter is low key pretty fun but early game and late game suck
Yeah
It feels kinda pay to win
I did a run with no money spent and didn't get too far as where I shelled some cash on my other run and got way farther
Eh I didn't spend much at all on it and I never felt like I was missing out
I would constantly dip in food and water
I would too at the beginning
By mid-game my shelter was like a machine and it was just quest after quest after quest
But by late game it just felt like a chore and became less fun again
Survival mode is a BITCH though
It's so hard not being able to revive people ๐ญ
Fallout 4 survival mode is super hard as well
Not being able to fast travel plus the constant need of sleep, food and water
Looking through my FO76 pictures and just wanted to share this ๐ฅฐ
I was playing New Vegas earlier and fast travelled to Goodsprings
it saved and then I saw the armored giant radscorpion coming towards me
Ol' Pete fucken died lmao
NOOOOO not Pete
FO76 has a good picture system
Very good picture
when tf did you meet a dog?
lmao I think it was a Blood Eagle attack dog that got frozen
you're right, I forgot they have dogs lmao
attack dog looks really friendly
forgot to mention me dying like 10 times to the radscorpion
Sure, attack dog looks friendly when it's glitched and frozen ๐
omfg 
I made sure to load up a save where he did not get die
now I'm just cruising through Nipton, looking at all the details in the game
that time where aodhan goes through F:NV intro just to walk outside and immediately shoot the bighorner which in turn pissed off the entire town and they killed him, the end
weird seeing boone without sunglasses
Yeah
Yeah lol
I just modded my new vegas a lot
All of the characters look weird
Johnson Nash looks nothing like before

fallout ;)
Fallout
Fallout?
Great Marianas Trench song
True true
what mod's that
It's a mod called Fallout Character Overhaul
It basically makes every character in the game look like that
Gives them more modern face models
that's a serious tan
I see, neat!
We got more gameplay for the pitt expansion for 76
Looks like its coming out in september
2-3 months until the new 76 update
You're missing out
The fallout games are some of my favorites
I don't play any videogames actually... I'm very bad
Fallout has a very easy mode
I mean I only have a laptop and no mouse
Yeah actually a friend of mine has a shit laptop and can just about run left4dead2 and new vegas
Could totally run 1 and 2 if you care for that
Yeah
But youd prob need a mouse
Which arent really that expensive
Considering these games are decades old (minus 4 and 76)
@spring wolf Tis a very glitchy game. I can't get the achievement for fixing all the stuff at the SINK because of a bug. 
it always crashes at Come Fly With Me's rocket launch for me! I had to complete the mission via commands
I don't really want to shootup jessup
sad that NV is in such a buggy state
i usually have to download bug patch mods just to get it stable
I'm using multiple bug patch mods 
rip
i know some people who have had trouble with fallout 3 from steam, but i havent ran into any trouble yet
luckily my NV hasnt crashed in a bit but im sure itll crash soon
Lol
It's kinda hard to mod at first
Depends on what you use to mod games, I use Mod Organizer 2 off of Nexus Mods
I don't have many mods on my fo4 other than bug/glitch fixes. I had the FNV item stash and effects but it honestly didn't work in the game so i disabled it
FO4 Modding is pretty fun
There's a lot of wacky ones, especially ones that add in a whole new area or mods that remaster old fallout games in 4's engine
shrek
Shrek mods are all that matter
pubby!
Laura when are we playing FO76
Soon, hopefully!
Sure. I have to shower byt after that I should be good to go
Oh and im earing rn as well
For sure! It'll take a bit for you to set up your character and get through the vault too so feel free to start if I'm not ready yet
Unless you've already done that part?
No you said you just installed it lmao
No i was playing guitar while installing it
F'sho
I'm done eating so I'm good whenever
I might hop on now and clean up my camp
Do you have a Bethesda account? Lemme add you as a friend
No worries! Just lemme know when you do
RIP
:smell of decay:
Almost ready
Cool
I booted up the game, looked at a few things in the Atomic Shop, grabbed my free items, and got distracted by Steve trying to figure out a pirate outfit for the Renaissance Faire ๐
ope
im in chill chat but i need to find my mic
Started playing and I immediately started getting shot at by super mutants ๐
My fault for quitting right outside Grafton Steel
@next violet do you and Steve wanna play again tonight
I'm probably down, but I'm having a crummy day so far and didn't sleep well so there's a chance I might just crash when I get home...so we'll see, but...probably yeah
@green moon is home sick today so idk if he's feeling up to it
Yeah I heard
Its cool if it's a no
I'll be free Thursday and Friday night this week as well
I should be as well. As I said, I'm in as long as I'm not totally zonked when I get home from work.
okay
my internship cancelled on me so I have a free day so I might play a little for some levels
F'sho! Maybe start one of the quests
teinkie, start building a camp for storage, and start building a bunch of shit and selling it
that's a very quick way to level up
Oo
Well I started one of the main quests in the bar by the overseers camp and then a nuclear bomb was activated so I just quit
I need to clean my car and call etrade today anyways
I'll go back after I get some stuff done
Like 98% of the time nukes are only sent to two areas of the map to summon late game legendary enemies. If you're not near the Monongah Mine or south of Watoga, all that happens is you might see a mushroom cloud in the distance.
it said it was going to hit where I was I believe
outside the vault
Oh wow someone is an asshole then
I've never seen anyone launch one there
I think I've only seen nukes launched anywhere but the two spots I mentioned like, three times tops, and never in the forest
I actually thought the area around the vault was not even possible to nuke
it was a little bit off where the wayward is
That's so strange
But yeah I'm down to play whenever. I'm pooped so I might not be super talkative but I'm sure I'll get a second wind soon anyway.
im just playing guitar so I'm ready whenever too
I just finished dinner and I'm taking a few minutes to just let everything settle and kinda veg out but I'll hop on soon
ok
ping me when
I'ma go grab a drink then hop on!
Okay. I am eating dinner right now but it shouldn't be long
No worries! I'll start playing but won't hop into vc. Ping me when you do and I'll hop in.
@next violetping
nuke in the middle of town ๐ฑ
