No
HWEHEHEHEHEHEHHEEHRRVREUDZJXORORR WHAT THE HELL
@crystal forum @rancid cove ıs it okay if i time you two out for 60s
i honestly have no feelings about this thing, it seems like the new whatever the kids are into
yall are giving me cancer
Like why the bible camp Christianās got to smile so creepily like that
Can you make it 100s?
Keep going guys
We hate children here
We made reach beta radiation
Can you get out
The tyrant is almost down
Uhhhh no?
The old Christian camp I went to had us play paintball, go on hikes, play some cool games inside the main building
Uh yeah
Look as much as you guys want her not around screaming at you I think it would be nice to have her around because there would be no one to kick out angry Nazis or idiots that wonder in here from time to time
the door is there
She's a very good exterminator
get out
mute them for 2 minutes because they hate the twink character
Ill mute you and her for a week, better deal
go talk about pomni in the marathon server's lore channel
freak and freakette
Im not upset with her I just like teasing her
What if i talk about honsou instead
Also whys lynx and jay getting muted
See I wouldnāt call that an extreme one. I mean the extreme creepy ones. (My family are all Christian I have a right to diss them)
Was in a server once where we muted a guy for a year. Twice. Both times the server was nuked within that year
Based as fuck
Is it just because they speak of tadc
yeah, its annoying
do it when im not here
i dont wanna see that garbage
lmao
Mod aboose
We also had a little shop that would open up called the Canteen where Iād get a can of Dr Pepper and an Ice Cream sandwich (my family would be the one running it so it was free for me
)
millenial!!
Tadc?
Start diggin' in ya butt, twin
idk these stupid terms
Why is he diggin in there
He would appear like a spectre to one lucky user to input his conversations by possessing them (DM telling them to say what he said)
I think hes trying to find you all the way up his ass
not sure tho
Oh you hate it that much for some reason. Maybe im not on other social media enough
I wouldnt be in there logically
his first time wearing a thong
They're with the rat pack.
Makessense
she hates everything tbf
FRANK SINATRA??
I hate furries and marine fans more
I WOULD of that man was Sanguinius instead
What furries due to u
the only man you are touching is a one-nighter in a bar
Damn makes sense you hate me 2x
experience joy
Uh I dont go in bars
Some people dont like it because the fanbase was pretty toxic not too long ago and it gives similar vibes to other works like Hazbin Hotel

We furries are known for that
furry
explains a lot
either a freak or a nazi
and you have a GIRLFRIEND
no in-between
THATS WHY U DONT GO TO BARS
I also dont like alcohol
dumbass
I donāt go to bars cause I donāt drink 
He would take backshots

Nor do I smoke
drink rum
we both dont drink
bro every fanbase is toxic like why must people taint their experiences of actual hard work made by artists because scum of the earth on twitter say dumb shit
Freak
Im not a nazi


Berlin Aviv Unimpressed
too bad
Can you buy me a Sanguinius plushie
Fuck no
Space wolf located𫵠š¤¢
No begging for gifts in #40k-lore-chat
Does that exist even
DO NOT COMPARE ME TO THEM.
I buy for you
Surely
I think partly is simply because work gets really popular, so that toxic aspect is really exaggerated plus social media likes to give those making trends more reach, even if its drama
no

yes please, I need a funder for my dark mechanicum stalkers
i cant belive we have furries here...
SPACE WOLF WOLF LORD MCVULF BAD VULF OF THE BLOOD WOLVES SPACE WOLVES WARBAND
id suggest reddit, its to the right
I am practical moral relativism. I had finsubs, now I must be a finsub. Neutral karma
id suggest craigslist, its to the left
Oh nah what no way in hell..i mean. I guess I can see why itd be treated as adjacent but eugh.
Also yeah the fanbase sucks but that's not a good thing to judge things by! You can't control whos a fan of what!!!
Ok, theres is no sanguinius plush, maybe you want other thing?
Yes but you know people don't care
cant go much further left
Makima plushie
Body pillow of Sanguinius
Ok, that one I found it
Someone should make a Konrad Curze plushie
Of course, but its still a loud part of social media that people end up listening to.
Best is to ignore those louder voices and enjoy it by yourself or a small group of friends
Iād buy it
Im already her body pillow
Konrad Curze*
One on each side
same can be said for warhammer 
Thatās the good life right there
I can fix Konrad
Rest in peace my grandma she's got hit by a bazooka
Congratulations one of his future visions with you trying to fix him and he turns you into a living breathing cube of meat
Am I good in protein tho?
Not even Bob the Builder could fix him
Anything for my King
Average necromunda saturday:
it has deeper meaning or something though. he's a true theater kid
Depends on your diet

Might not eat you, just hang you up in his abattoir
I just this fired bazooka I wonder if I hit anyone
Talk to the corpse occasionally
The random granny that for some reason is a gang leader:
Escher supreme drug lord killedš
Omg bro i opened this middle of work
Everyone cries that angron was let down by the emperor. I think it was Konrad. The emperor knew his degrading mental health and he could fix it but he just didnāt, infact he encouraged Konrads descent into madness.
Everyone was let down by emps
the emperor let down the entire human species
Konrad was also his own monster and felt the Emperor was being too merciful to the galaxy
Great minds thing alike
Maybe he couldāve been better
There was always some sliver of Nobility and Justice in his insanity, or at least Sev thinks so
Sev was also not a very trustworthy narrator
Sev was being honest to Trez imo
He may be a natural liar but he had no reason to lie then
He was made to be the justice in the emperor. His mental illness turned him to a monster
oops, every Primarch was a mistake
I remember our father, and Iām glad heās dead, so is he. Death, is nothing compared to Vindication.
so
True
damn the chat died
His mental health drove him to basically suicide (he let the assassin kill him)
anyways
Not Sangy
raven guard are about guerrilla tactics right?
He knew he was guilty, and he knew that it was his fate, or well, heād need it to be his fate or heād have to face all the lies.
Guerrilla, shock and lightning attacks.
shock and lightning?
And recon
Guerilla, Small Unit Tactics, Rapid Shock Assault
Shock assault and lightning assaults
Mostly jumpack intercessors but reivers do recon etc
so a ravenguard reiver makes sense eh?
I mean every chapter uses every unit so it works anyway
Do an Iron Hand Reiver
iron hand reiver?
Yes
Visions have told me so
Technically it makes sense in any chapter because no matter the chapters gimmick
Marines are supposed to be knowledgeable in all manners of war
Heās dying in it
Soo
that was already planned
yes yes but im trying to make every class be based on what x chapter is known for
Ravenguard should be assault then
im confused who to make the sniper
Nope
RG is more uh sniper
Nope
Huh
DA is a Bladeguard Veteran easily
BA is a jump pack Intercessor
The sniper stuff is mainly meme lore
oh yeah that one makes sense
We talking HH or m40-41
They have snipers but they employ more jump packs
BA's main gimmick is jump pack on shit
They still employ more jumpacks than snipers in 40K
you ok?
Ravenguard are literally less evil Nightlords
who deploys more eliminators then?
yeah lol thx just pricked the fingertip
Damn
i pledge this blood to slaanesh
Raptors
the emperor protects brother (aka stay safe
interesting
Would IF be the Heavy Int?
Less based too
i cant remember if it was someone in this chat btw who said the noise marines kit is bad ot build but i couldnt disagree more, its š„
RG sniper can still work because they still use them but RG is legit more assault coded
its abslutely flying together
RG are the less cool and easily forgotten version of NL
Covenant of Fire
IH Techmarine obv, Salamander⦠what are the flamer units called again?
This is because Curze is more hot than Corax
Dark Furies say otherwise
Infernus
infernus i think
Oh I know what model to make RG: Suppressors
hmm, should I get two defilers, or one defiler and 6 chaos spawns ?
These guys
which version you guys feel is better?
Oh you meant SM2 classes
Last one because im biased to mk6
2 Defilers
Second best looking helmet
(old defilers)
Oh then nvm gross
2 defilkers seems like a sweet spot for sure
(mostly so i can actually roleplay as a class with said chapter
im eyeing up 2
I jest ofc
thing is
or sum like that
6 chaos spawns is a lot of bully units
sorry
In that case:
UM/Death Company Tac, BA Assault, IH Techmarine, DA/BT Bulwark, Salamander Sniper(?), IF Heavy
Oh wait I got a better idea for Sniper
Raptors

i was going with raptors for sniper and heavy for salamanders
Iād do Sally for heavies if they had a Heat Flamer
Wait they have the Multi Melta nvm that works
THEY ADDED A HEAVY FLAMER??
YES SIR

ikr
for heavy and tactical
heavy pyrecannon and normal flamer
*heavy pyrecannon
tactical pyreblaster
tis why i feel like salamanders would go well with tactical but only due to this one gun
nope
Rip
prob one of those stupid lookin long bolters
Tactical: Blood Angel
Assault: Ravenguard
Heavy: Imperial Fist
Sniper: Salamander
Vanguard: Space Wolf
Techmarine: Sons of Medusa
Bulwark: Dark Angel/Black Templar
Carbine, Las Fusil, and Bolt Sniper last time I played
why no lascannon?
Besides Krieg, who is arguably the most battle-hardened guards regiment?
regiments don't work like that
Cause they're primaris
i mean itd be cadians surely
what, are primaris too cool to use good weapons?
Yes
from left to right
stalker bolt rifle (single fire dmr)
instigator bolt carbine (burst fire)
bolt sniper rifle (sniper (duh))
bolt carbine (brrrrrrrt (smg))
las fusil (charged sniper rifle)
They have a Lasfusil, but Primaris haven't got their Lascannon wielding unit yet
My Damnatii are more battle hardened than Krieg could ever be
i dont get why sniper salamander ngl
why the hell can't they just use a lascannon normal style?
why is a chapter that runs with flamethrowers be good with snipers
They do quite a bit of hunting practice on Nocturne
Because Primaris don't do mixed weapon units
Okay better question would be what is the most famous guard regiment?
Cadians
cadians
Cadians
Cadians
cadians are like the archetypal guard
Canadians
KKKadians
Mostly meme lore. They have an entire company dedicated to snipers and their deeper lore they were hunters and scouts.
Cadians are the stereotype guardsman
They need to hunt a Salamander to even be initiated
i see, so the whole flamer thing is fueled (get it?) by memes?
No they love flamers
Its not, Sallies lore flamers
But snipers are also apt
Fire is a major theme for the Salamanders
the sniper class getting a salamander skin is legit stupid
Theyāre the dragon legion
Salamanders being all le big heavy chungus flamethrower guy with big hammer who is cuddly and love everyone, is meme lore.
some marine fans just love defending it
Nope
And I hate them
Yep it is
Donāt most Sallies wear the skin of the salamander they killed?
ill ask the big woman herself, what chapter do you think its most known for their snipers?
Yeah they do
Entire company dedicated to snipers. Le big chungus friendly cuddly heavy with flamer and hammer is meme lore
Raven Guard
It is! It should have been heavy ffs
their entire thing is meme stealth
Raptors
Bruh
"meme lore"
literally all their art
GET THIS GUY OUT OF HERE
Which legion is Raptors a successor of?
Dilara has been consumed by memes
Flamer and Hammer isnāt meme lore smh
meme lore only itc š£ļø
They can do more than one thing vro
āStealth guysā as they speed around on massive jet packs
Ravenguard arenāt just stealth tmk right?
they are a stupid chapter with a stupid gimmick
Theyāre specifically shock troopers?
very sniber liek
space marines can't be stealthy, and if you have evidence they can, no you don't
Those arenāt RG
and what chapter is known for their reivers? (please excluse ravenguard from it if you thinking it btw
Those are the Knights of the Raven
raven guard š£ļø
They can... lay down real quiet and blend in with the environment
Very sniper
Gooning Sons
not yet
Ok actually Raptors
if you bolt 4 fridges together it doesn't matter what orientation you put them down in, they won't be stealthy
you can also call it stealth if no one is alive to witness it
thats liquidation not stealth, try again š¢
They caaaan be real quiet while not moving around and standing REALLY REALLY still
Ok gimme your IP address
019290228937382
š±
ayo?
is an outhouse stealthy?
well, they do say farts are silent but deadly
Urban legend. Cryptids like Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster
I never noticed the outhouse until I decided to look for one so I guess
They trick people into entering the outhouse then knock it over
Itās a lethal tactic
A lil brappy you could say....
raven guard is a bad excuse to prime your army black and do nothing more
just like black templars and iron hands
I have so much life skill issues that I had to go to the hospital cause I had food stuck in my throat 
IH is the better excuse because tonks
I kinda like iron hands because they are cyborg
but they suck because they're loyalists
Jeez, you okay?
all my homies hate that skelly on the shitter
you good?
I mean choking is genuinely deadly, you alright?
Kill that mf
to be fair he did send a message so I assume yes
If only Fulgrim had like 10% more charisma
Ye they told me I was good to try drinking/eating and it passed
Phew
Oh, good to hear!
ok so right now i have:
intrecessor - ultramarine
jump pack - blood angel
bladeguard - dark angel
eliminator - raven guard
heavy - salamander
techmarine - iron hands
i guess the reiver can be a space wolf
Hate us cuz you aint us
id kill meself if I was you
damn
tbf reiver works well for a space wolf
My Favorite thing about the Warhammer Salamander Subreddit, is that sometimes new reddit folks mistake it for the "Salamander" animal subreddit, and post about their salamanders.
ļøļø
ļøļøAnd the comments are always like:
ļøļø
ļøļø"VULKAN WOULD LOVE THIS CREATURE."
ļøļø
ļøļø"A FRIEND!"
ļøļø
ļøļø"Good Model!"
isnt there a terminator space wolf techmarine?
if there is he can fuck off
oh they are called iron priests
Space wolfs deserve nothing but the worst fates imagineable
why so?
Easily the most ass chapter there is since 5th edition when GW decided their entire gimmick is wolf
virgin space wolf iron priest vs the chad iron hands iron father
Aren't Space Wolf Techmarines always called Iron Priest ?
Neither are superior to the Iron Warriors warsmiths


Correct
Did 5 more samples today

Force fem is peak
Tzeench x Nurgle yaoi when

Slaneesh would never lower themselves to the likes of Asmongold
Can asmongold tho?
Depends on the amount of poopstains in your underwear
So does not wearing any underwear prove you're not a Nurgle cultist?
Did someone say poop
Planning to have bloody shits in my lace underwear to appease all 4 gods
First psyker to scream "kill yourself" as an insult and the person got mind controlled into doing it
I think you'll need to shit actual radiation
How do you satisfy all 4 gods at once anyway
You do what they ask
And have your followers to have their own preferred god of choosing
how does this appease tzeench
The part where he is planning on doing it
Its only funny if timed correctly

nature is healing
Heretic apothecary who randomly kidnaps loyalist space marines and force fems them

I think everything should be 10 of whatever currency you have
I think it's a good deal
2 second hand defilers, both primed
games workshop would sell you two for 180 bucks
even more if they were the new model
Its working very well for USD isnt it
Jeffrey Bezos......
Who can afford 10? In this economy?
Approaching ever closer to a true finale, and a fantastic showing for both sides, the ever powerful Custodes and a good showing for the Justaerin, too.
The Captain General Constantin Valdor is so rarely out of his depth but this may be one of the few times.

What happens after this and how did valdor survive?
They had him dead to rights

Fine. 7 credits and a weeks corpse starch rations.
Its not even that impressive
He survives and just laments at the emperor dying and everything being ruined
its on the lexi but its really nothing interesting
A week of eats
throughout the entirety of these books he does nothing but just fight people and demons lol
On what hive

DONT DO IT
Oh btw @storm jungle give Necromunda image archive I need it for references rather than clip tooling books please and thank you 
Very cool but what actually happens?
I cant, that shit is intermixed with my civillian 40k official artwork lol

Amazon could easily introduce a currency called Bezos Bucks that could be used across all Amazon platforms and it would become the universal currency
Ah ok lol

MOOOOOOOOOOOOODSSSSSSSS
Huh, I never would have guessed it was a white guy singing it all this time
people tend to assume only black american singers can have a rough raspy voice
Dr John has a similar voice timbre and people also assume he is black
before learning he is actually a white new orleans guy 
Most white creatures*
truth nuke
I'd argue soullessness is not a matter of skin color
In the case of Americans, being white isn't a skin colour it's a culture.
You're all wrong, freaks. You're ensoulled if your mother climaxed during your conception otherwise the door was never open and you are no more than an NPC
theres many white cultures
they vary a lot
(in the us)
Outside of the US skin colour isn't equated to culture
big wrong
Wait was that a noble "Patience, my companion" and you're gonna do it or is this telling me to shut up 
uh its more that this is a private directory so 
Fuck
Don't worry I can share my saved pictures with you
Is jihad like the npc factions in 4x games that just hard wipe people who failed to advance the tech tree
Weeeeeally? 
Yeah I just need to scrounge up Van Saar and Palanite Enforcer images so I'm giving the books a run through
The only PDF of Bastions of Law anyone can scrounge atm is some guys shitty self-scan
I reading scouring and this daemon said "what if the thief wakes first" talking about the Emperor. Which makes me think how weak are the gods now in the current date compared to him
I mean the emperor possessed guilliman, burned down nurgles garden and nurgle didnāt even come to fight.
So they definitely still fear him
All while asleep
I hope he wakes up in the future
Let them find a way to fix the web way and let the Emperor heal from all his power he puts into it

Only after he kills Space Epstein (Slaanesh)
HES literally space epstein
he WAS on the island
Are there flying pyramids in 40k?
Yeah and there is a model
Pls dont show the picture
What are they called?
History channel type shit
How big are these things?
Fr
In lore
So I just had a thought. Rather than giving Grey Knights Primaris, could GW make them a terminator armour as standard army?
Doubt it tbh
I thought they'd be bigger lol
It's not that big
A few terminators tall
More likely the Grey Knights will be quietly scaled up to match in miniature size, but lore will never mention anything about Primaris in Grey Knight ranks at all.
In lore?
Expect the power armour to resemble more Firstborn designs though
5 apples tall
they are mobile teleports/weapons more than giant pyramids
those arent related to necrons
Yeha just as another example of giant flying pyramid
They do have gigantic floating pyramids but its not really tabletop unit stuff
fun terrain flavor
Unfortunately too big for GW to sell as terrain
I mean
I would love a massive floating thing though lol
styrofoam and a vision
Truth nuke
i need to try trashbashing it looks so freeing lol
I have no clue how big these are tho
OH SHIT hey Azuli
hi
Hellooooo
idk why i havent, ive plasma cut and welded a waaaghh banner for fucks sake
Lmao
Canāt wait for the new Sylvaneth spearhead, might end up buying it like 3 times if the points are good on archers and use my extra arch revenants for path to glory stuff
teh archers are gonna be liek 210 points arent htey lmao
History channel is conspiracy channel
Is this a new calgar model?
is Malice still a thing or has it been truly retconned out of existence ?
i think dilara once said its still a thing
it is mentioned like once a decade
i might be confusin her with someone else
but
malice is a thing but not malal
which is the samething
at most there is a chaos warbadn dedicated to them but thats it
I feel like chain building daemon engines using demonic servants of other gods without their consent might be a very malice thing to do
Malice has been a thing forever
Heās never been retconād
Heās just not very relevant
ok thats why I asked
Ive been told he was not a thing anymore due to copyright issues
.... are,, did you forget someone?
wdym
does vashtorr hate other gods tho
yeah he wnats their power and become anew chaos god lmao
close enough, welcome back malice
I do prefer malice's logo though
it's easier to paint on ad mech models 
He still exists. Google. Lexi.
oh god dilara is typing I can hear the dark souls boss music start
You know I think if Dilara wasnt a mod we wouldnt act like chimpanzees when she comes to run the circus
Its our inherent anarchism in the hearts of all humanity
fatman roll fatman roll fatman roll FUCK
to be fair I thought you'd like it but now I'm forced to kill myself as well as every italian american in a suicidal act of bravery

why don't you start with yourself

well yeah its the internet

I stoned your mom
unfortunately this isnt pakistan

š„
also I was replaying Farcry 4, wtf do you mean this guy is meant to be Chinese lmao
He looks so fucking British in this picture but in game he looks way more Chinese
the best far cry villain
So this is something that is blindingly obvious to people with eyes.
But I just find it cool so I'm gonna talk about it anyways.
The Enclave is basically entirely themed around insects.
The X-01 looks like a Mantis to be specific
While the X-02 and Hellfire armor is actually based on beetles
The FO2 version of the Vertibirds also had 6 "legs"
Before Fo3 and onward removed them. Probably to make it look more like a modern helicopter
For reference
we love bugs
You can see the FO2 version has 3 pairs of legs
these are all diff variants in lore
he's great lol, I love him
While Fo3+ just have 3 legs
the Fo2 one is the heavy lift version with another 2/3/NV being the combat variant
would this make frank a some sort of freaky fucked up super major ant
Yeah. If there is one thing I do appreciate. It's that the older designs are retconned in lore to be earlier versions of the redesigns
Which is nice
But also I like the FO2 one the best because it leans the most into the insect theme
Honestly he definitely looks the most Mantis like
Especially due to the super mutant green
So he's basically a giant preying mantis
It helps that he literally has a blade and a gun mounted on his wrists
i was being a lil silly but there are some really big mantis out there
Which kinda look like a praying mantis claws
prob a giant devil flower mantis
Also
First picture is a longhorn beetle head
Second is the Hellfire armor
Also X-02
The sharp ass pauldrons in particular remind me of Beetle Chitin
tbf insects have some of the most effective armor out there
enclave PA looks like it's based on an eagle
it's got big brows and a beak
idk
to me it's more like a bald eagle, which makes sense for an american fascistic group
Could be both
But personally the Enclave have more of an insect theme going on. The Vertibird solidifies it
Which also makes sense
Pick your American⢠poison
roaches of the usa
I mean they're basically the fucking Illumanti
Or deepstate
Whatever
That came out from the shadows
Like crawling out from the dark crevices
mean you just cant seem to fully stamp them out
fallout equivalent of star wars empire
literally
they've got menacing armor, imperalistic strategies
and a big scary dude in armor
and they live on a recluse military base
all they need is freaky evil magic
Would energy weapons count
idk I never cared much about fallout 2
I mean Fo3 literally had them use a fucking space laser
...
Didn't destroy the planet though

star wars base weapons are gas based lasers
loved fallout 1 and 3, never was affected by the hype of 2 and NV
i love walking out of the stip 70k caps richer!!!
can we consider the mutant nature of frank horrigan to be freaky magic power
2 has a tonal problem which easily drags it down for me.
It's a bit difficult to take it seriously when it doesn't take itself seriously
i mean iirc
Like it has way more jokes than even the Bethesda games
fallout literally has weird eldritch horrors and magic
And also just
yeah but it's mostly referencing
Random shit that breaks every sense of immersion and has zero explanation
for the flava
ye
I got tired of lore having to be justified regardless of what media
Like you literally meet a group of powered armor people that are based off of Arthur's round table
Randomly
There is zero explanation
And it gets tiring when half the game is like that
talking deathclaws is all i need
fallout 1 and 3 didn't bother giving you explanation on random encounters either
The talking deathclaws is actually the least egregious out of all of the talking animals.
They actually have a reason.
Fallout 1's random encounters were more sane(generally)
i wasnt saying i didnt like em. the opposite
idk
there is a guy who tries to sell you clearly wrecked cars
as if nothign happened
i like them too
godzilla footstep
True but they all felt like something that could happen.
Like talking to a peaceful super mutant is much less ridiculous than randomly encountering a group of Yakuza wielding Katanas. Yes that can happen.
Tbf I'm not saying that 1, 3, NV, and 4 didn't have funny random encounters
But there's just so much in 2 that it gets hard to take it seriously
Also said Yakuza only appear in that random encounter as well
tbh i think thats why they made wild wastelands in nv bc then its optional
Yeah which is appreciated a lot
It's up to you whether you want funny shit or not
Although FoNV has zero random encounters because
Something something 18 months
Which is probably the saddest part about NV
i always pick it who wouldnt want to blow a gang of grannyās with tolling pins to bits
lol
But it's mainly due to the fact that the writing isn't ass
Holy shit it's almost like I'm playing a FUCKING RPG
honestly besides everything else i really enjoy that i can come out of the strip w all the caps i need
pfft
never worry about it again
It's not perfect though.
Even compared to 3, there's a few things 3 does better.
NV is probably the least interesting visually
Especially base game. The DLC goes crazy with it's environments
devs said it best
But the Mojave Wasteland itself is exactly like the Mojave IRL.
Desert.
Desert
More desert
NV feels like but one big DLC for fallout 3
great for 18 months but yeah
Also probably the second most unstable Bethesda published game on launch.
First being 76
Same ass engine, reused a lot of assets, etc.
And of course the same weird quirks of the gamebryo engine
common bethesda strategy for fallout games
Because Bethesda's source code must be spaghetti
Still though they did massively improve it
Starfield, despite it honestly being the most boring fucking game Bethesda has ever made in its entire existence and that's not hyperbole
game engine almost as esoteric as some of elderscrolls lore/j
Improved the Engine and actually
Didn't walk back on the RPG elements
There's a full skill tree and everything
Unfortunately
The problem is that Starfield's world is so fucking boring that nobody remembers it
Hell I barely remembered it
i never played it
Don't
might try it if i can build space stations
I remember the shotgun ejecting full unfired rifle rounds in the trailer
that's all
Also said rifle shotgun rounds are circular while the barrels are square
But honestly the actual game itself is so boring
And despite improving a lot objectively.
They also stepped back on NPC behavior
How the fuck did they lobotomize the npcs
They're already lobotomized
Get a tech priest to write some notes

get a heretex to make the code, it might work better
Also it has driving
Which
Is actually an accomplishment
Problem is that there's nothing to explore
Randomly generated terrain moment
Probably not gonna be seen in Fallout 5 though given they would have to stretch the map
To necessitate it
And let's be fair here
We don't want more empty space
But also Fo5 is probably coming out in like
October 23rd 2077
When the bombs drop
id prefer a smaller and denser map for a change
we are fallout,,,
Also on a semi-related note
I'm planning on making a Fallout setting
For giggles
It's set in Ohio
Yes I'm actually serious
Originally was gonna set it in Nebraska but unironically that state is so
Fucking boring
That it actually made it difficult to think of anything interesting
All there is... is corn
It's the fucking corn state
Fallout like the game?
Ye
oregon could be fun
Alaska 
Unfortunately 76 apparently beat me to the punch. Since there's a map expansion that takes place in a part of Ohio
There's apparently a super mutant society with a super mutant king that owns deathclaws
pvz type mutant enemies
Kinda hard to think about how to include it since I haven't played 76 yet
I will get to it I swear
But yeah the main three factions are
An Enclave Offshoot
The IRS
And a BoS sect that basically rule over their territories like feudal lords
Also the IRS is a cult
lol awesome
It's inspired by the fact that
The government literally has plans
For the IRS to collect taxes
After a nuclear exchange
I'm not joking. It is an actual plan of the US government to have the IRS still collect taxes after the apocalypse.
Congratulations, you survived nuclear hellfire
Pay your taxes now
oh ik ur not joking
Kinda want to play around with that idea
make them tax the enclave
The main idea of the IRS religion (don't have a name yet).
Is simple.
You see God actually intended humanity to pay a tax to use the bountiful nature of Earth.
The problem is that we refused to pay it.
The resources ran dry as a result
And eventually God punished humanity by ruining the Earth (AKA Great War)
The IRS wants to amend this by collecting the interest we owe
