rose thorn
Yeha and he is busted as shit lmao

They could have just named him something else but it is also an entirely different Dogmeat than the one in 3

You could have him steal the cyrogun from vault 111

FO3 has the most broken dogmeat in terms of raw stats
If you have broken steel
Bcs puppies

Fo4 has built in insta kills lmao
arctic talon
Gives you infinitely scaling dogmeat
So you can just
Keep on letting dogmeat die
Get a puppy
And new dogmeat with higher stats
hollow lantern
He rescales to you
rose thorn
LMAO
arctic talon
Rinse and repeat unless you get godmeat
No puppies makes dogmeat scale everytime they die
Along with scaling with you
Which is insane

You know what. They should set fallout 5 in the same area as fallout 3, but show how the brotherhood runs.

Wait are you serious?

I thought he only rescaled to you

You have to talk aloud to speak

vagrant fox
hell no
arctic talon
I'm not sure that would save the writing anyway
Look, fallout having mid to bad writing is an iconic part of the franchise at this point with how many of the games are mid to bad
young pecan
So is it that he actually did things to them and fucked their lives over to keep them silent or actually fake accusations
urban spire
he did it and he's been doing it

fun fact, there is one situation in which blood is an excellent lubricant: mechanical replacement hearts

it just lubes itself with the blood
surgeons were worried it was gonna fucking shred red blood cells like nobody's business but nah it's fine
arctic talon
Honestly I thought it would do that as well
Hearing the word mechanical replacement heart
hollow lantern
Modern medical tech amazes me
urban spire
yeah it's a fucking screw pump it sounds like it should rip up your blood real bad
hollow lantern
The level of replacement capable in the modern era is cool
hollow lantern
Insane degree tbh
arctic talon
Look
urban spire
also fun thing about that: folks with replacement hearts have no pulse and no heartbeat
urban spire
apparently the lymph system also isn't really bothered by this
arctic talon
That’s
Really weird
I wonder if the body just knows
Your blood is pumping fine
And the lymph system is fine because if it

lymph system gets by on the motion of other stuff, limbs and muscles and such

I think Fallout 4 has some good companions as well. And I like FO4's collection of companions just a bit more.
But there are two that I outright dislike in FO4
But for NV, there's nobody I really hate
crystal forum
im getting the impression that the show is not very good
hollow lantern
I think i hate like, 2 in 4 and dislike a few more.
Strong is insufferable, I've never met anyone who thinks otherwise
Porter is the other one I outright hate.
My favorite is Nick probably because of FH
He's also like, dumb integral to the actual story so you get to hang out with him a lot
arctic talon
Strong is insufferable, I've never met anyone who thinks otherwise
Strong is supposed to be the evil basegame companion but he’s just fucking stupid lol
Porter is the evil dlc. Companion but he still sucks
spare osprey
Strong is insufferable, I've never met anyone who thinks otherwise
Actually, you just broke the cycle.
I've never met anyone that also dislikes Strong.
arctic talon
I’m indifferent to strong
I think 4’s companions are mediocre to good
Aside from Porter Gaige who along with the rest of nuka world sucks lol

One of my only criticisms of fallout 4 is that too many of the npcs make you lose relationship points with them for taking Chems
Even strong

Never actually needed chems in my playthrough.
Didn't realize the rifle you get from vault 88 trivialized the game for me.
rose thorn
Yeah, they ahve alot of fun chems
rose thorn
And chems are required for charisma builds
arctic talon
Honestly if I have one complaint
rose thorn
You need charisma 12(?) to auto pass hard checks
arctic talon
The FO4 companions are a bit too goody 2 shoes lol
arctic talon
Macready and Cait especially lol
One is a mercenary
The other was an ex raider slave
I feel like both of them should have looser morals
rose thorn
I went and checked which faction each companion preferred
Macready and Cait are both more BoS leaning companions lmao
Macready especially
arctic talon
Cait is weird lol
I’m not sure why she’d like them
X6-88 is X6-88
He’s honestly kind of
💀
Idk I really think they could have done more with him
rose thorn
Nvm she is against BoS I got it backwards
He has a minutemen preference
I was thinking of codsworth
She also likes you doing all of the Nuka world raider stuff lmao

Unsurprising lol

I really wish nuka world was done better
- had an ending in the actual game associated with it

I wish it didn't feel like a hard character break to side with them at any point
arctic talon
Yeah
But base FO4 basically had 3 raider factions including the generic raiders
I feel like Bethesda wanted to do more with that
But meh
young pecan
I feel like Bethesda wanted to do more with that
Am I misremembering or were there not a few times where you could talk to and reason with a group of raiders in base game

Generic raiders, forged, gunners yeah

There’s a few chances to interact peacefully with raiders in base FO4 yeah

Fo4s side quests are normally decent
Not many of them are very impactful longterm tho

tried playing 4 again recently and fell asleep after 2 hours
what an awful gameplay loop
and i fucking hate crafting with a passion
i feel like bethesda wanted to make super glue a premium currency with how annoying it is to get

I want valve to release the next set of deadlock characters
Icefrog and Yoshi please

you cant even make the bot collector thing to get super glue for you
like the game straight up tells you to go fuck yourself

I'd rec survival but you won't like that either if you hate the crafting
crystal forum
i was playing survival
hollow lantern
Its the only way I've managed to enjoy fo4
And it's mainly for the first 20 levels

survival is just stupidly annoying early game then becomes a walk in the park
and survival is the only difficulty where you can't just wear power armor 24/7

Oh they’re annoying as fuck lol
They’re also extremely good in pro play
Because they’re annoying as fuck
hollow lantern
Which dev mains mnk
arctic talon
Idk
Maybe he’s Icefrog or yoshi’s chosen one
Icefrog is okay with 80 20 matchups
As long as it’s not 90 10 lol
So terrorist matchups will always exist in deadlock
Unless Icefrog is no longer one of the lead devs
hollow lantern
Is that why McGinnis gets to take every tower at 5 minutes
arctic talon
Yes
hollow lantern
I'm ngl I have really choice words for that
hollow lantern
But I'll summarize it as "damn that seems stupid"

Sometimes Deadlock feels like "haha get fucked idiot"

Hitler tier character

Hitler tier is like Grey Talon
Mina is like Stalin tier
Or Mao tier
Grey talon is the true Hitler pick for lane bullies
I’m not biased because I play Lash

"Hitler tier"
Totally normal statements in our normal 40k lore channel
Fucking imagining a tier list but instead of S, A, B, etc.
It's
"Hitler Tier"
"Stalin Tier"
"Mao Tier"
"Pol Pot Tier"
(in no particular order)

Mina my least favorite to see tbh

Given Gue'vesa there might either be actual John
Or the human name got back ported into the Tau language

Well by "an equivalent of the name John" i mean a name that is just EVERYWHERE
Kais is an incredibly common name for a Shas to have

Drink a shot of whisky or vodka for every apostrophe in a Tau's name in a Tau no...
Well every T'au name is gonna have two at the bare minimum, their first name being their Caste and Rank separated by an apostrophe, and the second name is their Sept of origin, which I'm pretty sure every single sept name has an apostrophe
A T'aus third name is their actual given name
Everything after that is an earned name, like a title

Which is...well, both good or bad depending on your opinion

Custodes is basically confirmed yeah
we'll be getting the unisex options with boys and girls
and APPARENTLY the rumors say they will be shared between 30k and 40k, this was like months ago too so its deffo true as its not really a wild leak
rocky gale
Custodes are one of those factions which haven't really changed between 30k and 40k so makes sense
People would riot if they tried to make them era specific
Since it's such a small range already
