fallout-general-chat

[icy bridge]

this series is an absolute gem, way more than i had already thought it to be

at first, when i was younger, the first two were a bit off putting (especially if you aren't really a fan of anything that's not first or third person and not used to the fully turn-based gameplay), but they are still definitely worth checking out, i'm looking forward to 76

[brazen sage]

76 is...different. When you pick it up, definitely let me know, I'll swing by and give ya some back up.

[icy bridge]

it definitely looks like it is! i havent touched it at all yet, and have only seen the occasional few shorts pop up here and there for me, alongside 4, for the past week, since ive been playing through the earlier releases 😂 def looks unique, but it looks cool to me, i'll very likely end up picking it up later today or tomorrow

i guess the only looming question that i have about 76, is that with the monetization aspect of it, is there anything available on the store that is not able to be acquired through regular gameplay in the game?

[brazen sage]

Fallout 1st. Which the only real draw is the extra monthly freebies and private servers. Otherwise, sure it's a grind, but you can earn atoms through normal gameplay

[icy bridge]

are the monthly items in question just regular items with skins or some sort of skins/cosmetics?

and i assume the appeal of private servers on 76 would just be simply the fact that you don't have to worry about other people farming areas with good loot and none being available to farm? or is there more to it than that?

[brazen sage]

It's mostly the opposite. With the public servers, you can server hop (exit to the main menu then rejoin) for things if you need, say, screws, buit can't find any junk that provides them. The allure of private servers is the ability to build your camp virtually anywhere without having to worry about getting "CAMP could not be placed" warnings.

It's cosmetics, CAMP items, etc. But most of the free FOFirst freebies come back around as regular items for people to buy

[icy bridge]

okay cool, i can see the appeal now, that makes sense - how long does your camp last before some sort of decay system takes place? does it procedurally cost currency or materials just to have one placed? or is it instanced (i assume not if there is "can not be placed" indicators, but worth an ask)?

or are they just permanent once placed? 🤔

[brazen sage]

So semi-permanent. It will be placed in the spot it was last in when you last logged in

If it can't, you get a free placement.

It costs caps (which ramps up the more you place it) to place it. But it's not astronomical

[icy bridge]

dope dope, so - just to clarify 100% - you could just take a multiple month long break and return and not have to worry about losing any of your stuff in your base? just find a new area if that spots taken on next login and use a free placement?

my bad if it sounds redundant lol, the way bases/housing is handled across different mmos interests me

[brazen sage]

Correct

[icy bridge]

which i was also going to say, too; economy is something else that is a large appeal to me from mmos, so this is good to hear; are you able to freely trade items/caps/atoms with other players as well?

[brazen sage]

Yes. There's even a system to see items you have but maybe don't need.

[icy bridge]

consider me sold (as if i weren't already) 🤣

[plush badger]

When you get the game, you get all content in the game. Fo1st exists for convenience. And everything else is skins or convenience stuff.

[spark basin]

does anyone know who does the spoken word part of i don’t want to set the world on fire?

[craggy torrent]

The Ink Spots

[restive steeple]

ay anyone still on?

[haughty pivot]

New Vegas has some of the most iconic statues, buildings, and signs out of any Fallout game

Like there is the Hoover Dam, Dinky the Dino, the Lucky 38, the Tops, Gomorrah, Ultra-Luxe, Helios One, the Kings, Silver Rush, Sierra Madre, Big MT

I mean there is even a quest that wants you to take photos of these iconic areas

Other Fallout games also do a great job at recognizable and iconic buildings or statues like Tenpenny Tower, Megatown, Bunker Hill monument, Goodneighbor’s door, Hotel Rexford, Diamond City’s wall.

[quasi sentinel]

fallout is a good game

but imma play starfield soon and I think I may put up my nuka cola glass for a while to enjoy me some starfield, but I thank fallout for all the memories from my favorite games

[covert depot]

Will you enjoy thy game? Or Stop within 30 Hours? Time will tell.

[quasi sentinel]

I like space, and I like blowing crap up, starfield has both

also I see they brought back the counted bullet reload system, why didnt that exist for fallout four again?

fallout 4 was just missing so many little aspects that the other games had, less guns, no counted reload, a shorter story, easier enemies, and my least favorite, actually scary ghouls

BUT they added easier modding, but that doesnt matter when you play on xbox

[brazen sage]

Fallout 4 had counted bullet reload.

[quasi sentinel]

it didnt

[brazen sage]

Then I've been playing the wrong game. Cause to my knowledge it always had it for me.

[quasi sentinel]

remember the lever action rifle? the bolt action pipe pistol?

[brazen sage]

I think the Lever action was the only one bugged for me.

[quasi sentinel]

none of them had any bc nobody was planning to add a rifle that would require that sort of script

there was no lever action, there was no pump action in the base game

far harbor added the lever action, and personally I think that was a mistake

[quasi sentinel]

oh and the broadsider

[brazen sage]

tbh though, there's like 4 guns in Fallout 4 that require it. And less than that in Starfield unless you count each unique/rare/etc and leveled variant as it's own specific gun

[quasi sentinel]

some need it, some dont, still it would be a nice quality of life thing

bot censored me for saying the assult rifle looks bad lol (fallout 4 assult rifle)

I had an issue with obsidian developing a service rifle instead of the assault rifle, it makes sense, but I think the assault rifle (fallout 3) would have been a better idea as it was used in anchorage, so it was the main service rifle for the US army, also the random M1 garand, I liked that, but it was just so clunky

there needed to be more types of guns in the game, and lets be honest, the story to fallout four needed some work but I enjoyed it. it just wasnt no fallout 3 or NV story-line

I think a few things that battlefield did would be good for fallout, like the whole if you still have bullets, dont use a stripper clip, or if you have a scope dont use those, or the changing of the barrel on machine guns if they get to hot

also a BAR would be nice for the game, good fire rate, good damage, and its not a LMG its a walking fire rifle, perfect for hip fire and sholder fire on enemies

also grenade launches, please bring those back, I love blowing up my enemies

[brazen sage]

Also, if you actually care about CBR. There's 2 (potentially 3 if you consider a double barrel shotgun a CBR) weapons in the entirety of Starfield. So it's not much of an argument.

[quasi sentinel]

yea

[tardy ingot]

Can we talk about how a working pipboy that acts like a smart watch with FM radio is not a real thing yet? Bethesda missing the opportunity to break into the tech world here.

You only THINK people wouldn't wear something that bulky but....

[brazen sage]

Actually, something like that, even with modern tech, would be a good 4 or 5 pounds. Grab your phone, strap it to your wrist, and wear it like that all day. Not comfortable. Nor practical. Plus, the positioning of something that large would impede wrist movement.

[plush badger]

Lmao you drinking tonight?

[tardy ingot]

Not tonight, I'm out of beer.

[plush badger]

Almost HEAVEN West Virginia

[cyan kayak]

Blue ridge mountains

[craggy torrent]

Shenandoah River

[serene pendant]

oh, no wonder it is Blue Ridge Caraban

[quasi sentinel]

Do you think that fallout 5 will come out on Xbox series x or next generation

Oh yeah if you go down the nuka world quest line and minutemen quest line the right way you can end up fighting all 3 nuka world raiders and usually there is a legendary in one of them

[quasi sentinel]

Hey do you think they’ll celebrate 26th anniversary of fallout

[chrome wave]

bethesda celebrated 25 i dont think they will do 26

[haughty pivot]

They should

[brazen sage]

It would get old fast, celebrating every anniversary.

[haughty pivot]

Anniversaries come once a year… how would it get old. Also would be the perfect time to update Fallout 4.

[serene pendant]

I mean it's kinda like 4th of July they celebrate every anniversary

[brazen sage]

Just like federal holidays, it loses the luster after the 8th or 9th celebration. They'd all be the same, even if they're giveaways, and after a while even the milestones become pointless. Ever noticed how most people use the US's Memorial Day as a free day off instead of a day to honor those who brought us to this point in history (as controversial as it may be)? That's because it's "celebrated" every year and it got old.

Just celebrate the milestones. 5 year increments after first 5 years. 10 years after 30, and, if you somehow make it that far, 25 years after 50. That's how it's always been done in gaming.

[quasi sentinel]

Considering this generation is half over and FO5 won't even be in development until ES 6 is released highly doubtful for this gen.

[maiden fossil]

where is the new vegas channel

[lone crypt]

This is the Bethesda Game Studios Discord. Fallout: New Vegas was developed by Obsidian Entertainment.

[brazen sage]

No, it's more like it's not Bethesda IP. It's "Bethesda" not Bethesda. Basically, imagine how, for example, Company A makes a product and licenses the rights to make a version of that product (under the same name) to Company B. B's product is still their product, Company A can't promote it like it's theirs. However the brand belongs to Company A

And a "good game" is relative. I'm a fan of New Vegas, and a fan of 3 and 4. To me, 4 is the superior game, though NV and 3 both have merits and have things they do better than 4.

So if I was asked, by a new fan (or non-fan) of the Fallout series what a "good fallout game" was, I'd say 4 first.

[covert depot]

People are allowed to talk about New Vegas anyway, so really there not being a New Vegas Channel really means nothing.

[royal stirrup]

So what's new with weapons, any rifle dethrone my choochoo gun yet ?

[royal stirrup]

Score board up anywhere here? gonna be downloading for a bit...or just google?

Got it

[gaunt dirge]

hello fallout chat, is it depressing that i can only play fallout shelter because no pc?

[haughty pivot]

Nick Valentine is a pretty good character, although most of his character can be found in Far Harbor.

Certainly the best companion in FO4 and probably one of the best companions in Fallout history, but that implication gave me a sinking feeling.

[haughty pivot]

I feel sad if you’re only connection to the Fallout universe is through a mobile game

There is a FNV mod for settlement building? Besides that revelation, claiming objectivity is very stupid. I like FNV and I don’t like F4 that much but I can only say I subjectively like FNV more than F4.

[maiden fossil]

No

[haughty pivot]

Thank Todd

[brazen sage]

That's kind of what I was getting at. Any one person is going to like a game differently than someone else. I like certain features of 3/NV and I like certain features of 4. I don't like other features of each game/generation. One thing I don't like about 3/NV? being force to get Power Armor training (though, thematically, it does make sense) especially since you have potential to get a free set very early on in 3. That doesn't mean it's a bad feature, nor does it make the game bad.

It's exclusion from 4 (and the change in Power Armor) also doesn't make that game bad. The quality of a game is rarely judged the same by any 2 people.

[neat edge]

So now that fallout 3 remaster “Might” be a thing fallout 4 remaster when?

[quasi sentinel]

I’m pretty sure they’ll do something for the anniversary

[haughty pivot]

Not even in the dining room

[normal pulsar]

New Vegas: does anyone know how casino bans (kicked out of ultra-luxe at 15k earnings) are handled by the game? I.e. circumventing/raising/resetting with console commands or .dat manipulation or simple .esm shenanigans.
I'm assuming it's either a perk that's given to the player or a hidden quest stage that checks but there's no information I can find about it anywhere, I can't even find how the earnings amount is stored which would be equally helpful

[brazen sage]

As far as I know, and I'm limited on my knowledge of how that works and the wiki is no help, it's permanent and non-bypassable, as I believe it's a simple tracker of something like if [total winnings] < [casino maximum] and [player winnings] >/= [prize threshold] then reward [prize] and then a separate check for if [total winnings] >/= [casino maximum] then run [ban process] That's like the barest bones of what I assume is happening. I could be completely wrong XD

[normal pulsar]

I finally found this ( https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Talk:Big_Winner ) hidden in the wiki's talk pages, seems to be a quest stage that can be reset to unban after the earnings metric is changed, but possibly breaks slot machines in the vein of casino mods? I'll test a bit later and let you know how it goes

[covert depot]

Ah, that one guy is gone, thank god.

[quasi sentinel]

I have an idea
Introducing
Fallout Alba

Set in the mountains of scotland

[haughty pivot]

… a highlander 76

[quaint shore]

Huh, I might have to add that to the page.

[wanton garden]

You called ??

[potent shadow]

Just started playing fallout 1 and it isn't so bad I just can't find out how to sneak

[quasi sentinel]

If I have a quest bug should I do another play through

[vocal dawn]

Bro caps glitch in NV got my save corrupted. Also does anyone know any good graphics mod for NV?

[hardy chasm]

Getting ready to do a fallout new Vegas melee playthrough. Can anyone suggest a good melee build?

At least special distribution

[quaint shore]

You just press 1. Sneaking isn't particularly useful though, as most detection is based on line of sight.

[odd nymph]

I gotta say Fallout New Vegas is one of the most intelligently designed RPGs of all time. It’s actually so intuitive and genius

I’m honestly so sad prime Obsidian never got a chance to make more games like this

[mellow dune]

Do they removed mod on f4 clients on the xbox one?

[oblique wharf]

I was thinking the other day: What happened to Australia in Fallout, and if so, how BIG are the spiders? Just sayin'

I'm thinking Huntsman but the size of a bus

Picture: It's night time ingame and irl. You're playing the game, doing your usual looting. Suddenly there is a giant thing the size of a bus that passes you incredibly fast about 50 m away. You start looking around and cant find anything, because its right above you 😄

[haughty thunder]

I seen someone built a casino and had plans for different tables? Is that a pts thing with the new update coming or can I find plans for tables now?

[weary jackal]

Hi

how i can play with a controller in fallout new vegas?

[quasi sentinel]

Depends on the console you're using

[weary jackal]

I am in PC bro

[quasi sentinel]

Oh, pfft. No idea there. I play Xbox.

I'm not sure you even can tbh

[weary jackal]

Thx very much Bro, you are the only Who want to help me

[potent shadow]

Bluetooth?

[weary jackal]

Yes

[quasi sentinel]

if and when they make a new fallout

I want them to make a map the size of 76, with 76's level up design but with the ability to also increase your special stats, all the workbenches from 76 the reloads the weapon plans etc, but I want it to have a true fallout story, I dont just want like fallout 3 or 4 (find your family), I dont want a new vegas (find who tried to kill you) I want something like fallout 1, you go to find something for your home, and that is your primary mission, to find that one thing and bring it back in time then once you do that the game opens up more

and chicago or pittsburg would be a wonderful place for that

[quasi sentinel]

When’s the update bgs for fallout 4 next gen

[potent shadow]

Is their a server for FNV

[amber plinth]

FNV was not developed by Bethesda Game Studios, so not on this one.

[viscid ridge]

This is the unofficial FNV channel.

[potent shadow]

I know it was developed by obsidian but eso has it own sever so im wondering

[amber plinth]

Im sure Obsidian has their own Discord

[haughty pivot]

You just figured that out? New Vegas is probably my favorite game ever played.

It incorporates everything great about Fallout, the world, the atmosphere, the rpg, the complex moral questions, actual decisions that effect the world.

[odd nymph]

I only got around to playing New Vegas this year. My first Fallout was FO4 back when it came out and I wasn’t really a fan so I figured I wasn’t into the whole franchise as I didn’t really vibe with the post-apocalyptic genre. NV was so good that I liked it despite not being a fan of the genre

[haughty pivot]

If it got even one year more of development time, it may easily be the greatest rpg ever made.

[odd nymph]

I read somewhere that it was originally meant to have a whole post-game that changes depending on your story choices and which ending you got

[haughty pivot]

It was, they had the post game set up but didn’t implement it because they weren’t finished with the decision altering aspect.

They did create sound, dialogue, and etc for it

https://youtu.be/TY7Tm33tGMg?si=O6OjiT3vFM1iuEf9

[odd nymph]

It would be cool if someone made a mod for it

[haughty pivot]

Pretty sure there is one

[odd nymph]

Ooo I gotta check that out

[plush crescent]

i find it very funny how theres no 76 chat

[lone crypt]

Go to id:customize and click on Fallout 76. All of our Fallout 76 chats should now be visible to you.

[hallow bane]

I love Hancock and Nick, they both have more robust stories more than meets the eye. Fun dialogue too

[quasi sentinel]

You don’t think it’s gonna update near Christmas time do you or on it’s anniversary

[nimble shard]

A funny ism: big guns are the best weapon class in over half the games in the series

2, 3, 76, tactics.

In 1 it's energy weapons, in 4 it's small guns (rifles specifically), in new Vegas every weapon class is pretty equal

[quasi sentinel]

Fallout 4 cc mods is the doom marine armor good and is the backpack cc mod good

[viscid ridge]

AFAIK, only the Neon Flats is broken right now and requires fixing. The quality for the rest is decent enough I guess.

[snow loom]

I have a emergancy question.
I installed Fo4 and it won't let me move, and i get stuck in menus alot.
What could be causeing this?
Im in an Hp envy x360 laptop.
It runs skyrim, and apex legends fine.

[amber plinth]

any mods?

[snow loom]

at leeast ten more I think.

It still runs without lag, but i can't move

[amber plinth]

I would try removing them. See if the game works correctly without them. If it does, you know it's mod related.

If it's still happening without mods installed, I would recommend placing in a support ticket to us https://help.bethesda.net/#en/home/product/695/fallout4cat/716/answer/next

[snow loom]

What about the menus? it wont let me use my escape key

[amber plinth]

Same advice.

[snow loom]

What should I do if it is mod related? I don't have anything serious just some patches and a cheat room or two.

[amber plinth]

You would need to contact the mod maker for troubleshooting.

[snow loom]

Ok. Thank you so much.

I figured it out.... I needed to open it in wndowed mode.

[spare perch]

What happened in Bitter Springs was an accident

I think...

[viscid ridge]

That's the NCR's official version. Many Khans claim otherwise.

[quasi sentinel]

Is the fallout 4 getting a next gen update

[fossil lynx]

Eventually, probably.
We don't know what the story is.
It's supposed to come out this year - But could get pushed to next year for all we know.

[quasi sentinel]

That one has asked about it 6 times in 3 days and they've been answered 4 times just ignore them.

[quasi sentinel]

I’m just kinda bored and want to play fallout 4 the best way I can as soon as I can because for me now it’s riddled in bugs

[forest condor]

I might get Fallout 4 and all it's DLCs soon. But currently, I'm having an issue with most my fallouts that make it genuinely unplayable

Like, I can't get past making a character unplayable

[quasi sentinel]

True that’s why I think we need an update come on bgs

[forest condor]

It's with NV and 3 both, I made a support post but I need a response before I can do anything x/

[quasi sentinel]

Nv & 3 you can usually get pass it on a Xbox

[quasi sentinel]

With the Character Creation screen? Try plugging in an Xbox controller that's worked for some people.

[forest condor]

Problem: I don't have a wired one, I'll look into getting one once my next paycheck rolls in

I never thought of that though! I mean, I've tried completely wiping the files, I've tried editing certain ones to be how they normally are, file integrety checks.. ect

[quasi sentinel]

I think it's problem with the INI config files activating the controller support.

Shouldn’t need on if you’re playing on Xbox series x with the controller given

[forest condor]

I'm not, I 'm on PC

I went to such lengths actually as to get Fallout 3, NV, and all DLCs for the two on Epic to see if Steam was the issue

Thankfully I was able to get them for free last Christmas, but still

[quasi sentinel]

Pc just have to many issues with open world games too much power for the system but system like the Xbox don’t have that problem

[forest condor]

But Xbox kinda suck, and i have a pretty strong gaming PC. The issue is in the software, not the hardware.

[quasi sentinel]

You have no idea what you're talking about.

[forest condor]

PCs in general outclass Xbox, not only with their modability, but with functionality, and how unrestrictive they are compared to most other consoles.

I say most, but if not all. You don't need to jailbreak it to modify it like crazy, you can just find a good OS like Linux or make your own if you realllyyy wanna

[quasi sentinel]

If that’s what you think I’m not going to argue about it

[forest condor]

It's not what I think, it's just facts. Nasa uses Computers over xboxes, or PS4s, or Nintendo Switchs for a reason

Same with every other research facility. PCs just have better computing power

Console's main draw is it's cheaper

[quasi sentinel]

They probably can't afford a gaming rig which why their dissing PC's.

[forest condor]

That's fair, gaming rigs are expensive as he double hockey sticks tbh

Doesn't make PCs bad, just pricy. It's like dissing a Benz bc it's a luxury car that costs big bucks tho

[quasi sentinel]

And TBF the current consoles aren't that bad, there equivalent to a lower-mid end gaming rig. And last gens consoles when they came out were in the upper lower-end. They've come a long, there about the same as the Syber C or S series.

[neat edge]

Did anyone else hear that fallout trading cards are going to be released?

[neat edge]

Now will the battles be like yu ghi oh? Or Pokémon? Or magic the gathering? 🧐

[real pilot]

since I haven't seen it in this server anywhere

happy birthday Fallout New Vegas

[south drift]

magic

because it's literally just cards for magic lol

they're not making a whole fallout trading card game its just a promotional tie in stunt 😂

[rich drift]

It may be a promotional tie in stunt, but the type of decks they are can be purchased as a set and played as a 4 person game. That's my plan atleast

[hardy chasm]

I am live with Fallout New Vegas! Over at

https://www.twitch.tv/stormermia

[cyan sonnet]

hi, after a few years I started my game again. but now I no longer remember how to see which of my rare or legendary characters are, I can't find any icon to distinguish . I have to make them have babies..
Shelter from mobile

[lone crypt]

Hi, Mafragno! Here is the link to our Fallout Shelter chat: #fallout-shelter-chat 🙂

[vocal magnet]

So, this is cool. G Fuel made a comment on Twitter about sunset sarsaparilla flavor. I made the joke about in a can, at Sheetz. No powder. Sheetz liked my comment

WhAt DoES it MeAn!?

[dire karma]

With hardware, many rely on base Intel and base Nvidia or base AMD drivers to render settings in game on pc. Often the graphics card comes with supplemental video drivers and software and, most don't know that those supplemental programs will run whatever program you're having issues with e.g. lag, chop, black screen. I know in the past, the graphics cards came with a program to overclock threads. I'm sure they still do. Processor overclocking is important with PC games in current market. Those games often, are beyond the minimum requirements that
are on the most current gaming PC.

[cloud kiln]

Is anything special happening for Bombs Drop Day for Fallout 76?

[lone crypt]

The best place to ask this question is in #fallout-76-chat

[fervent ravine]

you guys think the tv show trailer will drop tmrw?

[stray walrus]

I'd say hopefully... I mean, you'd think it already would have been released to the public, considering it was already shown at Gamescom, however, there's no telling. It may, it may not, I'm just excited to see it all play out!

[young sage]

happy fallout day

[oblique condor]

200th power suit today 🙂 hey fallout day XD

[true slate]

Happy bombs drop day.

[languid cape]

https://vxtwitter.com/falloutonprime/status/1716468771521434080?s=20

[fervent ravine]

aw man, no trailer?

[austere pilot]

Announcements channel is still empty so maybe there's more, we'll see

[keen flame]

Yes

We still have time today

[karmic crystal]

hey bethesda pls put more attention in fallout

[small dust]

So, looks like bombs drop day is a date for the show and a 76 picture!

[strong sundial]

The lack of info is the annoying part.

[covert depot]

Because they know enough people anticipate it and are excited as it is

[austere pilot]

They also just released SF so tracks that FO isn't a top priority

[covert depot]

Bud cursing isn’t gonna work in this server lol

[nimble owl]

Understood!

[covert depot]

Not even censoring the curse itself btw

[nimble owl]

Just used one potty word my bad. Was saying they gotta capitalize on the hype before the generation is just gone

Nawh cursing is useless and doesn't stress importance, no reason to use it

[covert depot]

Anyway I think a Trailer will come before the show, before this current teaser we just knew it was in the works and coming, this one gives us a release date, so realistically the next trailer before release would be an actual trailer.

[sturdy forge]

I've finally taken the plunge back into 76! And I have actually found enjoyment out of it!

[keen flame]

It works while we wait

[sturdy forge]

I can't stand the terrible build limit though

[keen flame]

Good point

[small dust]

I’m convinced we aren’t getting anything today now

[keen flame]

Why

[small dust]

All the focus is 76s 5th anniversary, I just have a “feeling”

[austere pilot]

Daz is Mama Murphy confirmed?

[languid cape]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-stare-angry-cat-funny-cat-memes-gif-14595486679217135725

[keen flame]

Neko knows something

[nimble owl]

What a side eye 👀 best to keep the hopium low

[languid osprey]

Btw, why didn't #fallout-announcements get any update yet

[nimble owl]

Maybe it was just a mistake to add it, or maybe it was added for announcements farther in the future. IMO it would be a very silly decision to do something like that on such an important time for the franchise

[languid osprey]

Kinda weird creating it and not putting the amazon announcement there

[nimble owl]

That's my thoughts. To the average consumer it makes it seem like it's something bigger, and if that wasn't their intention at Bethesda then I don't know what is

[knotty girder]

C'mon Beth... at least throw us a bone with a few details about what the next gen update is gonna have

[strong sundial]

Lol, if they can't even say if it's coming this year or the next, there's no chance we get info about anything in the update.

[undone finch]

happy October 23rd

[rich sparrow]

Well bombs drop day was a disappointment

[austere pilot]

We didn't even get annihilated by bombs

[rich sparrow]

But in a real. I was really hoping for fallout 4 next gen upgrade. Having to go back to 76 to scratch my fallout itch

[austere pilot]

I'm currently on my annual "play act 1 of fo4 then get bored and restart/quit" and a Next Gen update with QoL stuff would do wonders im looking at you downtown

[rich sparrow]

I’m stuck in the mode of

Sitting at work daydreaming about getting home and playing fallout 4

Then getting home and having 0 interest

I just got scammed by fallout shelter

It says 40 lunchboxes for £4. When I scanned my finger to pay it comes up as £19.99

[austere pilot]

That's not a scam it's a feature

[rich sparrow]

There’s a nice little sale on Bethesda gear

Got me some Nuka cola orange and dark caps. I just really want more bottles.

I bit the bullet and done it US to UK 💀

Have I just spent £70 on an empty bottle and 50 bottle caps? Yes

Do I regret it? Not yet

Will I? Probably

[coarse tulip]

Has anyone else lost faith in Bethesda giving us that next gen update because from what I can see they lied and it’s never coming AT ALL! And it’s ticking me off like come on Bethesda what are you even doing?!

[rich sparrow]

It’s announced. It’ll probably come when the fallout series trailer comes

I’ve got a slight hope that we got a Skyrim anniversary edition situation

Where we get given all creation club content and they add a few more nice things

[ebon citrus]

It makes sense to drop it around the show to boost sales

[rich sparrow]

Drop it a month before with a trailer makes sense

[coarse tulip]

THEY haven’t said crap about it since it was announced anytime anyone asks about it they ignore it and pretend it doesn’t exist

[rich sparrow]

Last thing we got was Pete h saying they’re focused on the release of starfield about 3 weeks before the lauch

Idk man. They could’ve given up with 76 when it bombed at release

Now it’s actually quite good and enjoyable.

[ebon citrus]

It's wild to me that they even announced it tbh bethesda normally anounces stuff when it's almost ready to release

[rich sparrow]

It’ll come eventually

[coarse tulip]

Probably next year

[covert depot]

May be the Square Enix style announcement for all we know, announce Kingdom Hearts 3 and wait 7 years after the announcement.

[rich sparrow]

Yeah early next year to build hype for the show. The only time that makes sense before then was yesterday

[covert depot]

Honestly yes I am willing to believe this to.

[coarse tulip]

Probably just trying to make us forget about it by hyping up the show

[covert depot]

Witcher and Cyberpunk getting shows boosted the Game sales.

[rich sparrow]

Trust me, we won’t let them forget. I remember begging for 2 years for assassins creed origins 60 fps on Twitter. It happened eventually

[covert depot]

I can’t tell you how to feel other than I’ve been where you are in terms of feeling a dev doesn’t care, and honestly sometimes there is more to a situation than it seems is all I’m going to say regarding it.

[wanton fjord]

[coarse tulip]

Kraken do you know anything about next Gen update-_-

[rich sparrow]

Hey man starfield releases in a good state. Less crashes in 150 hours than I had in 26 hours on Spider-Man 2

[covert depot]

Yeah I really didn’t suffer anything massively gamebreaking

[ebon citrus]

I've crashed like 4 times in 700 hours and that was more because I was pushing the game so

[coarse tulip]

My friend sadly can not say the same for starfield 2 hours in and crash

[wanton fjord]

I have not heard any information about it.

[rich sparrow]

My only issue with Starfield is that it lacks the vibe fallout has or the atmosphere Skyrim has. It doesn’t have that “feeing” those games gave me

[coarse tulip]

God freaking ARGH okay I am not surprised hopefully it actually releases as long as it does and we actually get information I’ll be happy until then I’ll be annoyed as heck

Literally all I want is a dang release date

[wanton fjord]

When we get information, it will be in #fallout-announcements

[rich sparrow]

Take the fallout show release date as the next gen one too

[coarse tulip]

You mean how most of the planets are empty and really boring?

[covert depot]

That’s fair, although now I wonder about the sequel, I haven’t finished the game yet but I’ve almost finished every quest possible.

[wanton fjord]

#starfield-chat or #starfield-spoilers if you want to discuss Starfield

[rich sparrow]

Like the vibe of fallout is what keeps me coming back

It needed it for me

Get those 80’s songs that sound futuristic. Like the guardians of the galaxy vibe

[covert depot]

Galactic Radio Music should be a thing technically.

[wanton fjord]

[rich sparrow]

If you don’t look it won’t bother you

[covert depot]

Sorry, I just know that in the Elder Scrolls Chat we talk about the different games in comparison regarding the next entry in a franchise.

[wanton fjord]

[rich sparrow]

Anybody got the official Nuka cola dark or Quantum bottles?

[covert depot]

It keeps it on topic to compare

[ebon citrus]

I have them all and the enclave pip-boy

[rich sparrow]

You struggle to get them? I find stock to be an issue. Only just managed to get the Nuka cola one and had to pay for us to uk shipping to get orange

Also have you put any liquid in them for display? The Nuka cola one looks weird empty

[ebon citrus]

Yea I've put cola in the cola bottle, the orange one has fanta, dark has water bc that works and in quantum I've put glow powder so it's blue glow in the dark

Also I've just ordered them the second they came out so 😂

[rich sparrow]

How long have you had them in for? No sign of damage?

[ebon citrus]

Idk when they came out but since then, and no but I use them for display so they don't damage anyway

[rich sparrow]

Ok I might have to do it

Thankyou 🙏

[ebon citrus]

Happy Fallout Day friends!

The fallout TV show will premiere on April 12th 2024

[austere pilot]

Tinfoil hat time:

Both the TES and fallout series follow a similar format

Arena and Daggerfall made
bethesda buys the IP
bethesda makes 2 games
bethesda makes a lackluster online game for IP
drops a banger number 5

Fallout 1 and 2 are made
bethesda buys rights
bethesda makes 2 games
bethesda makes a lackluster online game for IP

My hopium for FO5 is immeasurable

[quasi sentinel]

The Elder Scrolls was always Bethesda's IP.

[south drift]

Yeah I don't know where you got the impression that Arena and Daggerfall weren't made by Bethesda but it's incorrect

Elder Scrolls is a 100% Bethesda invention

And technically speaking Bethesda Game Studios themselves didn't make either FO76 or ESO

ESO was Zenimax Online Studios and FO76 was primarily Bethesda Game Studios Austin, which despite the name is not a subsidiary of Bethesda AFAIK but a sister studio owned by Zenimax

... also your pattern ignores all the weird Elder Scrolls spinoff games they did like Redguard and Battlespire lol

[strong sundial]

Hopium for F5? You're a few years early lol
2030 at the earliest. Considering we barely know anything about ES6, F5 is a long ways out.

[keen flame]

Hahahah that’s literally masochism

[pallid zealot]

Wow first time spawned in I come across 4 scorched and a spooky legendary scorched I killed the all with a pistol I found at the start and got the plans for the full set of V2 hellfire armor

I just started the game for the first time

People in the comments going “hope it’s not woke” really are proving they haven’t played the games

Luv me fallout tbh

Hey Fallout fam! Recently I wrote and released a song "Going Blind" based on the series. To really make it fan art, I had an animated video created using a gaming engine, and I really hope you like it! Bethesda devs - I hope you see it too!! https://youtu.be/yljYBsZG2JI

i dont know where i'd put this otherwise so i'm just going to throw something out there for bethesda, vampire survivors bullet-hell style game, but fallout themed 🙏

[mossy plank]

anyone have any idea how to fix this/

#screenshots-and-video message its saying missing masters but im staring at the file in my folder

[steady grail]

best fallout?

[maiden adder]

Shelter

[lone crypt]

I don't know which is "best." But I do know that my favorite Fallout is Fallout 4.

[full raven]

Tactics

[mossy plank]

hello mr mod author do u know how to clear the “missing masters” error in vortex when you are literally staring at the file supposedly missing in the mod folder

mod supposably missing is also present in mod page of vortex, not present in plugin page of vortex

[lone crypt]

Sorry, I don't use Vortex. Someone else is going to have to answer your question. Your best bet on getting a good answer is to post your question in #fallout-4-mods or #1067505929534320700 🙂

[haughty pivot]

What do you mean by proven they haven’t played the game?

[harsh mountain]

The games have very clear political and societal critiques through every single one of many systems. LGBTQ characters have existed since fallout 1.

[haughty pivot]

Gay characters doesn’t make a show woke

[harsh mountain]

Does to them

[haughty pivot]

Fair enough

[harsh mountain]

But that’s neither here nor there

Love me fallout

[haughty pivot]

I just hope they get the original lore right (if it is based on the og fallouts)

[covert depot]

I believe the show is very much gonna be a canon addition to the Game Universe

[haughty pivot]

Ooo no

[covert depot]

You act as if that’s a bad thing

[haughty pivot]

It could be a very bad

[covert depot]

No different from just adapting a story and doing it bad to

So honestly I’m fine enough with it being an addition set in the game universe.

[haughty pivot]

It could be a great thing, usually show adaptions of anything aren’t very good shows and aren’t very faithful to what it is based on

It’s a trend in film

[covert depot]

I just rather not be the guy who say’s the end is nigh because it’s not adapting one of the games stories and instead doing it’s own story set in the same world.

[haughty pivot]

I don’t think it will be that of a lore addition story, I think it’s gonna be like nuka-breaker where it doesn’t take itself too seriously

[covert depot]

Last I recall Nuka Breaker was loved

Even then I wasn’t that into it at the end of the day.

[haughty pivot]

I’m saying what I want the Fallout show to be like (which is like Nuka-Breaker), rather than a large lore expanding experience

[covert depot]

I mean even then I think that’s just missing a chance to help expand the world lore wise

[haughty pivot]

I just think that the medium of game is better at telling a story like that

Also you wouldn’t understand it if you didn’t play the games. So the Fallout Show is probably gonna be an introduction to the Fallout lore and series.

[covert depot]

Oh I’m not saying it isn’t but I also think you shouldn’t necessarily just leave lore to the wayside either

[covert depot]

For a lot of people like with the Witcher and Cyberpunk shows yes, but I do think Lore additions should still be a factor, not taking itself to seriously and lore additions can go hand and hand.

[haughty pivot]

Wait I remembered that the Brotherhood of Steel will definitely be in the show

[covert depot]

I mean you can bet 1000 Caps they will be, they are essentially the Fallout Faction Poster Child behind Vaultboy himself.

[haughty pivot]

Literally a poster child, they are on the cover of every bethesda fallout

[covert depot]

I mean I wouldn’t say that they are as the BOS Logo hasn’t really been on those covers, I think it’s just meant to be the Vault Dwellers.

[haughty pivot]

The vaults are the best known thing about Fallout besides the fallout but you don’t see vaults on the cover art

[covert depot]

Yeah but regardless the Power Armor Covers go back as far as Fallout 1, and honestly aside from Tactict and… Shudder Brotherhood of Steel the Game they haven’t really been featured on the cover.

It’s always been the Power Armor

[haughty pivot]

I could literally search 3,4, & 76 on google and the first or the most result will be power armor

[haughty pivot]

Power armor is essentially one in the same as the Brotherhood of Steel

[covert depot]

Yeah it’s basically more closely associated with them but if that’s the case Fallout 1 Power Armor Cover may as well be the Brotherhood of Steel as well.

[haughty pivot]

Fallout 1 was before this trend and the same people later added Enclave power armor

Also that power armor is probably representative of the bos for fallout 1 even though they play quite a small role

[covert depot]

Yes I know but even before Bethesda The Brotherhood of Steel was very much being pushed with Tactics and then the Infamous Brotherhood of Steel Game

[haughty pivot]

We shouldn’t talk about Tactics and BoS in the same vein as the other Fallouts

[covert depot]

Just because they aren’t mainline games doesn’t really matter, the fact they both feature The Brotherhood of Steel is pretty evident they were becoming more of a popular thing or at the very least being pushed as THE Fallout Faction.

I do think that if Bethesda hadn’t have gotten Fallout the BOS would definitely have still been pushed to the front in some way, at least IMO.

[alpine aspen]

should i buy fallout 76 if im gonna have 100-200 ping? are most servers in north america or europe? bcs i live in asia and im afraid its gonna be a gamebreaking issue

[lament meadow]

You might have issues when entering events especially as there's usually a lot going on/all the spawns/weapon effects of all the players/etc. Might even have to consider not fast traveling as much to reduce loading issues or playing on private server with fallout 1st. Not sure about the overall server location but I've read people from some regions having issues on/off.

[fossil lynx]

I live in New Zealand and normally have around 300-400 ping to US based servers and haven't thus far had many issues

[quasi sentinel]

[candid crypt]

Anyone get redcomendations for games like fallout

[rare bough]

my new vegas install broke again

[south drift]

Terminator: Resistance (unironic)

It's significantly lighter on the RPG side but it's a really solid semi-open-world post-apocalyptic sci-fi shooter with a fun story that ignores the bad terminator movies (IE everything after the second one lol)

Alternatively if you wanna jump into the deep end of the "post-apoc RPG" side of it there's the Wasteland series, Mutant: Year Zero, Underrail... All of them are more FO1/2 than the Bethesda ones though

Oh, and lump the Metro series in with Terminator for the "really good post-apoc sci-fi shooters that don't really have much in the way of RPG stuff"

The last game in that series is open world, more or less, and they all have really solid stories

[candid crypt]

I'll look into them ty

[lone crypt]

If you are interested in MMOs, Fallen Earth is very similar to the Fallout games. It is a post-apocalytpic RPG set in northern Arizona. In tone and setting it is the game that most reminds me of Fallout: New Vegas. It is currently free-to-play. https://www.gamersfirst.com/fallenearth/

[candid crypt]

I'll take a look ty

[craggy torrent]

I thought that The Long Dark was pretty good, but that's just my opinion. I liked the feeling of being completely alone with death at every door. And it has multiple options for how you want to play.

[keen flame]

But just about 76?

[strong sundial]

I doubt we would get an answer regarding 4

[urban crag]

Correct, the Q&A is just for Fallout 76 and it's upcoming content with Atlantic City.

[fossil lynx]

Does that mean we shouldn't expect any answers to questions about Fallout 76 that don't strictly pertain to Atlantic City? 😮

I think the community is way more interested in other features in other areas of the game. =/

[steep yarrow]

i think the community is way more interested in the Fallout 4 next gen upgrade and the Creation Club content thats supposed to come with it

[fossil lynx]

My heirarchy of interest is:
Fallout 4 Creation Club Update > Fallout 76's missing features and requested additions > The Atlantic City Expeditions

[quasi sentinel]

i got 2 questions for the QnA tomorrow.

[craggy torrent]

which are?

[wispy fox]

[hardy chasm]

sorry

wrong channel

[neat edge]

So uh fallout 5 any news?

[fossil lynx]

Nope. They're brainstorming it - But it aint gonna be even in pre-production for a while

[haughty pivot]

Probably the best dlc in the Fallout franchise is Old World Blues, there are just so many moments to love in it. Like “C is for Commie, D is for DIRTY COMMIE”.

All of the Think Tank are cartoonishly hilarious and have emotional or even funnier side quests for their story.

All of them are essentially schizophrenic which makes it incredibly sad that they miss their old lives and hilarious to speak to.

Also the Sink objects are also funny, like the black-coded jukebox, the neurotic securitron obsessed with mugs, or the propagandist book chute.

[meager hull]

Eh i dont really like old world blues tbh it's just weird and to goofy

Also I don't really like nv in general

[haughty pivot]

How dare you desecrate scripture!!!

[haughty pivot]

Old World Blues certainly went for a certain feel for Fallout, the more wacky and cartoonish elements of Fallout that aren’t really prevalent in Fallout during that time. I mean a drugged out supervillain, dog brains infused with semi-automatics, and sensual robots are not gonna be everyone’s cup of coffee (get it). But I just love how absolutely neuropsychiatric, stupidly fun, and chem-filled adventure Old World Blues is.

I think it has the best dialogue and characters out of all the dlcs. The dialogue is a little too much especially in the beginning although they make it up by kicking you out into the lonely deadly Big MT.

[signal shard]

Just intrested but what structure do you all use as a player home in FNV

[haughty pivot]

Novac, I absolutely love to carry everything I can so I always use Novac because it’s a quick destination on travel.

Im ultra weird and use vault 11 for roleplay and lucky 38 for storage and functionality

[plucky ingot]

Hi all, can someone help please. Im trying to reinstall fallout 3 on pc game pass and steam and it keeps crashing everytime i hit play. I know this is an old problem but i've been looking at all the common fixes and none have worked.

Im on a laptop with Ryzen 7 5800 and a RTX 3060
16gb Ram
Windows 10

[plush kelp]

Honestly you'd be better off just running tale of two wastelands through New Vegas. I had the exact same issues, after over a month and almost every fix under the sun and at least 6 separate people looking at it we determined it was unfixable. Bethesda really needs to rerelease for modern systems, I don't even want a remaster anymore just something that works

[plucky ingot]

Bro I’m having the hardest time modding new Vegas right now too. At least it turns on and I can create a character, but that’s about it. And so far all I have is all the necessary NVSE plugins and perks

[quasi sentinel]

Is there an official fallout NV server?

[quasi sentinel]

Not that I know off unless Obsidian finally decided to open one.

[quasi sentinel]

time to make an official fallout NV server

[quasi sentinel]

Then tell Obsidian to make one then New Vegas is not a Bethesda Game Studios game and this server only for theirs.

[quasi sentinel]

is obsidian still in business?

[quasi sentinel]

Yes they are owned by Microsoft.

imma shoot them an email

Good luck but I doubt they'll open a server for it they've never really supported the game after they released it.

[quasi sentinel]

I just want them to endorse it as the official server

maybe they will put one of their guys in there to help me make it

[haughty pivot]

Tbf, it wasn’t “their” game after they released it

[quasi sentinel]

TBF it wasn't and never has been a BGS game either.

[haughty pivot]

No I’m saying the game wasn’t in their hands after it was released

[snow merlin]

In case you haven't tried all the steps indicated in the following link, or even if you have, try them again for good measure. Your computer should be able to run the game.

Question for fallout 3 down to fallout 1 do we know what happened to the main protagonist of every fallout game from fallout 3 down to the very first fallout game?

[empty light]

why do people use tale of two wastelands

that means i cant use fo3 mods

[versed coyote]

How are you meant to hold this mug? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/954210924326187008/1172694161212846120/Screenshot_20231110_231521_Opera_GX.jpg

[lone crypt]

I'm guessing you wrap your fingers around the body of the mug (over the 111) and your thumb over the top of the Vault Boy arm.

[versed coyote]

I assume you'd have to bend your wrist 90° (or as close to that as human anatomy allows) and hold it by the wrist, your thumb over vault boy's to keep it firmly in your grip but that may be uncomfortable over extended periods.

[pearl abyss]

that means you can use NV mods

a lot of FO3 mods are converted to TTW tho.
NV got more love from modding community

[empty light]

maybe..... but I feel like that leaves out quite a bit of fallout 3 improvement mods

[pearl abyss]

well some of them are already converted to TTW. Like Enclave improvement project or Alton IL

[empty light]

oh!

well if thats the case, consider me wet

[empty light]

hey

i have a question, do you happen to have this mod that you can share with me? it appears it was removed from nexus Alexscorpions_Pipboy_pda (https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/12833)

nope. But here's an alternative:

Will Bethesda make a Lego set for fallout game franchise kinda like Minecraft did?

[south drift]

Lego tries not to associate with brands that feature realistic depictions of violence and dark themes or real-world politics. A series about a nuclear war with between a dystopian USA and communist China where you explode the heads of mutants and outlaws with a shotgun is pretty far from what they're okay with

Heck I can't remember the last time they printed a gun accessory that wasn't some kooky sci-fi blaster, maybe like... the old Indiana Jones sets from 2008?

And to be clear that's not a new policy, the inventor of lego specifically didn't include green bricks in their first sets because he didn't want kids building tanks and stuff out of them; he envisioned the brand as a wholesome building block sort of thing

[shrewd hinge]

Welp, time for me to spend more money for that rpg.

The Fallout Tabletop released a new little adventure booklet, and I kinda wanna grab it.

[sturdy forge]

@shrewd hinge is the tabletop game any fun? Do you recommend?

[shrewd hinge]

Would indeed recommend the challenge is finding a group, though. Which might take a few tries.

[shrewd hinge]

Course it does cost quite a bit of money to buy all the books and necessary items, but it's waaayyy cheaper then dnd.

[craggy torrent]

If you have played any other tabletop rpg games with a group such as DnD or pathfinder then I suggest asking them. Me and my DnD group also play Warhammer 40K and it’s just as fun. So if you have a group just ask them

[sturdy forge]

@shrewd hinge Not sure how that would pan out... it says 1-8 players but my girl's not big on videogames let alone a tabletop rpg 😆 and I don't have a lotta friends outside work...

I used to play dnd with her brother but we had a bit of a falling out... (no pun intended) but also pun intended...

[shrewd hinge]

Well, the best way to figure a group is to find those that are willing for it. I think the most popular quest at the moment is... Winter of Atom

[soft girder]

I recommend Bethesda to try and make a new fallout game like fallout 1 and 2 (isometric RPG) but like Baldur's gate 3 in which "every" choice and options are possible. Maybe DND style even.

[neat edge]

Question. I think I asked this once before do you guys know what happened to every protagonist from fallout 1 all the way to fallout 3 or 4 after the events of those games?

[slow iris]

I'm having an issue with Fallout new vegas where i start the game it starts normally and suddendly the screen goes black. I've deleted .ini files with no luck. Suggestions?

Does the sound continue even when the screen goes black? Additionally, have you tried the other steps in this article: https://help.bethesda.net/#en/answer/35756

[plush crescent]

guys where do i get the water chip? i went to vault 15 did the thing and where do i go now?

[azure flower]

I hope for FO5 they get rid of settlement system completely along with perks

[jaunty quest]

If we ever see the game, I hope we still can build stuff. Sometimes it's fun.. 🤷‍♂️

[azure flower]

It’s still boring in a replay ability level

I mean, too much time hunting resources that may be very rare and trying to remember how you built said building. I would rather prefer the Hearthfire way

[jaunty quest]

The settlement system was boring, but building what I wanted to make a minifort now and again was fun.

I haven't probably ever played the game by it's "rules" 🤷‍♂️

[azure flower]

Still boring especially with alot of level locking aka perks that I also want them to get rid of

When I talk about perks, I mean not as a substitute for attributes or skills

[lone crypt]

Personally settlement building is one of my favoite features in Fallout 4. I hope they expand and improve on it in the future. And perks are one of the defining features of Fallout, going all the way back to the original game back in 1997. It's such an iconic Fallout mechanic that I seriously doubt anyone will ever abandon it.

[azure flower]

I prefer perks to be an optional stat boost like in new Vegas or 3, not as a substitute for skill levels.

Regardless, i still really don’t like the settlement system based on how boring it is collecting resources, limited areas, etc.

[full raven]

i know the risks, im willing to take them just to be happy

[rain dagger]

The settlement system simply came at too great a cost to the rest of the game. Towns were hollowed out, building was often a mandatory chore, and it took Bethesda's attention away from making a great RPG.

[rain dagger]

I thought the same until traits and skills were nixed.

[shrewd hinge]

I mean they have an official TTRPG.

[young thorn]

Hey is this a chat that I can ask how to fix a problem with playing Fallout

Like Troubleshooting?

[languid cape]

#1087805680829857822 Would be the place. If it's mods related, #fallout-4-mods

[young thorn]

K thanks!

[azure flower]

My wish list for FO5

1. Become elder of the BOS 2. Bring back Skill leveling 3. No settlement system 4. No perk locking crafting items 5. Player homes to be decorated like FO3

[shrewd hinge]

I can kinda hunderstand perk locked crafting, I do enjoy it since it does harbor the need for some perks.

[devout pier]

Question because sale
Fallout 1 and 2 are on sale for 2.49$ each, are they timeless classics that I will revisit time and time again or are they buggy games that wont run on windows 11 and crash immediately when loading in?

[azure flower]

Regardless, I don’t want perks to be substitute for skill levels

[summer pond]

Yeah I miss skill leveling. Killing coyotes for 30 minutes to up my speech skill was really more immersive.

[south drift]

Yeah, killing ghouls for 30 minutes to up your speech perk is great too huh

[shrewd flame]

Are we on about fallout 4?

[south drift]

apparently

[shrewd flame]

I love chewing through a bunch of ghouls with a minigun

[fossil lynx]

One didn't necessarily come at the cost of the other.

Could be that removing the settlement system wouldn't have changed anything about the game.

Personally, the settlement system stands out as the best thing about Fallout 4 for me - And the fact that it massively stripped back was a huge negative for me when it came to Starfield.

[shrewd flame]

i agree with the fallout settlement system

[covert depot]

I think the Settlement System importance probably depends on the series, for Fallout I would say it’s more important from the perspective of the way the world is at large, for Starfield it’s Importance was relegated to merely building outposts at best to mine for resources.

Idk, I wonder how it would be implemented into Fallout 5, if they will either expand on it or remove certain things.

[fossil lynx]

Creativity is the most important thing to me - Being able to use the tools the game gives you to make your own fun. Settlements were magnificent for that in Fallout 4. Starfield was waaaay more restrictive however.

[shrewd hinge]

Agreed, though at times I kinda wished settlers could build for themselves. Still enjoy making my own lil place in one of the settlements and residing there while the settlers are equipped with combat armor and assault rifles.

[azure flower]

I prefer the Skyrim’s Hearthfire way of building premade buildings of a settlement. Hope that way for FO5

[lone crypt]

Oh lord. You and I have almost mirror opposite desires for what we want in Fallout 5. I fear one of us is going to be very disappointed. 🙂

[craggy torrent]

Or there wouldnt be any settlements at all, then both of you would

[azure flower]

I would like that too

[shrewd flame]

Same

[shrewd hinge]

I would probably enjoy a settlement system where I can simply give them materials and do odd jobs to improve it, instead of building it up directly.

[azure flower]

Just like in Skyrim Hearthfire you could just pay your steward to decorate your home?

[shrewd hinge]

Not like that, instead, you do quests, and return items that they could possibly use to upgrade said town/settlement.

[shrewd hinge]

That way settlements feel more satisfying to assist, maybe comes with a few discounts for helping the people of said settlement as well, just make the towns feel lived in, with people that have interactions that can alter the outcomes of certain points in town, would be enjoyable.... And the option to destroy said towns, if wanted.

[hardy chasm]

Can we share fallout Memes somewhere here?

[hardy chasm]

Also, my latest fallout new Vegas playthrough is going well. Never used super slam before, it's going well

[slim hawk]

#screenshots-and-video message Finally getting back into Fallout. Did I pick a good first game?

arent there multiple endings to NV? which ones the best?

[hardy chasm]

There are multiple endings but I would recommend playing and discovering them for yourself.

Do save often, especially at the beginning of quests. There are some glitches that can throw off your game.

[slim hawk]

yea. i normally save after pretty much everything that happens haha

I plan on playing through NV a few times possibly and then MAYBE getting in 76

[pearl abyss]

No one's really the best but you should try all of them

[pearl abyss]

They're all on sale now

[haughty pivot]

There isn’t really a “best ending”. All of the endings suck in a good way, like they are so sucky that they are good at being sucky.

Just play New Vegas because every major decision is gonna impact the ending slides in some way. I mean even the misfits have an ending slide and they only have one quest which ain’t that memorable.

Just buy 76 early because although you can complete New Vegas in a day or two (without dlc). Both are on sale so just get both and play the other later.

[haughty pivot]

New Vegas doesn’t have a post game btw. It was planned but scrapped due to time restraints. I’m gonna tell you early on because I rather you don’t be disappointed or I rather you be disappointed early on than later.

Although the ending slides are one of the most memorable parts of New Vegas. Certainly the best ending slides in the franchise (looking at 4 with its three identical ending slides and only one different ending slide).

[azure flower]

I gotta felling the canon ending of FO4 is the MM due to how heavily invested the settlement system is

[tough umbra]

Call me delulu Bethesda’s next few projects wre in this order: Fallout 5, ES6, and Starfield 2

[amber plinth]

Nothing even mentioned about a Starfield 2, so I would remove that otherwise it fits into Misinformation/Conspiracy Theories #rules

And if i remember right, Todd said ES6 before Fallout 5

[craggy torrent]

Well, I mean, it would be nice if they did Fallout 5 first. But hey, I’ll play anything Bethesda throws at me

[shrewd flame]

Agreed

[haughty pivot]

We don’t need another Starfield

[covert depot]

Says you, it’s bound to happen again after Fallout 5.

Would rather a studio have the want to do something different than do the same two franchises forever.

[haughty pivot]

Do you really think we need a Starfield 2?

[covert depot]

Personally I rather they build upon the flaws of the first game and do better for a sequel, I think it’s really dumb to abandon a new IP just because a certain group of individuals didn’t like it.

[haughty pivot]

I saying they don’t need to make another Starfield

In any recent time

[covert depot]

I mean I think that much is clear, it’s why I don’t expect a sequel until after Fallout 5 at best

[craggy torrent]

I just want Fallout 5

[covert depot]

And I want The Elder Scrolls VI as well as Fallout V

[craggy torrent]

Maybe, and this is a big maybe...maybe they could relaese Fallout 5 and Elder Scrolls VI in close proximity to each other?

That or they could team up with Obsidian again

Eh, I'm expecting too much of them. They probably just need a break after that behemoth of a game we call Starfield

[craggy torrent]

If they can put a new spin on it and make it better (which would be really cool) I wouldn't mind it a bit. If they did something like CoD and rereleased basically the same game then I would be bothered but Bethesda doesn't run like that. I have total faith in them that whatever they do will as epic as they have always given us.

[fossil lynx]

( Actually, in all honesty - No. xD )

( I say this to everyone that asks 'Which to play first', but if you go for NV as your first game - You're probably not gonna play Fallout 3 and you're probably not gonna enjoy 4 or 76. )

( So you've more than likely just poisoned the well )

[vestal meadow]

Do I buy classic collection (7 aud) or 76 (10 aud)

[haughty pivot]

Well I just hope they start writing better stories

[haughty pivot]

You won’t play Fallout 3 if you played New Vegas?

Sure the games are in different types of game design but one would still play Fallout 3

I love New Vegas and I am pretty hard on Bethesda but I still played 3, 4, and I am gonna play 76 soon after I finish my Skyrim play through.

[haughty pivot]

The classics are better games (I haven’t played them because tabletop games aren’t my thing), although Fallout 76 is good if you like fps and good graphics but don’t expect good quality.

[vestal meadow]

I already have fallout 4, and I just bought the classic collection (dont like the gameplay of fallout 1)

[haughty pivot]

I corrected myself

[vestal meadow]

ive sent a refund request and imma go buy 76

[haughty pivot]

Yeah that sounds about right

[vestal meadow]

I just like the idea of multiplayer fallout

[haughty pivot]

Old Tabletop computer games in general are just hard to play

[vestal meadow]

yeah

[haughty pivot]

I would like to see them remaster the games although that might ruin the charm

[vestal meadow]

Cant they just remaster NV already 😭

REMASTER BLOODBORNE

[haughty pivot]

Obsidian should remaster New Vegas, add extra things that were scrapped and also remaster the dlcs.

It would take ages but I want it so bad

[vestal meadow]

Do i install 76 or the public test server

[haughty pivot]

I think the public test server is the Bethesda servers were they test new features and items

Install 76

[haughty pivot]

Usually that’s what PTS means for any other games

[fossil lynx]

If NV is your first Fallout game, you're going to likely have trouble with 3's gameplay.

I've talked with a lot of people that just couldn't do it because they played NV first and found the lack of iron sights too frustrating.

[vestal meadow]

i played NV first and it aint that bad

Jumping from nv to 4 hurts tho, my expectations were wayyy too high

[haughty pivot]

Oh oh, yeah that pissed me off when moving from Fallout 4 gun mechanics to Fallout 3

[shrewd hinge]

Very much agreed, any fallout related content, I'd acquire.

[mint hamlet]

No Fallout anniversary edition?

I really Want old fallout weapons

and more creation club

[zinc sluice]

https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2023/11/fallout-first-look?utm_brand=vf&utm_source=twitter&mbid=social_twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_social-type=owned we are so back

it looks awesome

[shrewd hinge]

If they are working on it, I'd throw my wallet into the ring.

[mint hamlet]

I accept your challenge 😂

[proper torrent]

there’s going to be a remaster soon

[valid moth]

As long as it's Westworld s1/2/4 Jonathan Nolan and not s3 Nolan, this could be a banger

[mint hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/6m-rain-wallstreet-make-it-rain-gif-8203989

[covert depot]

After the incendiary mushroom clouds, the story flashes forward 219 years.

Add 219 Years onto 2077, you get 2296, exactly 9 Years after Fallout 4

[proper torrent]

I believe it could come out around the time the show releases, so like April maybe

[mint hamlet]

I will Buy Every thing from bethesda

[covert depot]

The Show is the next entry in the timeline post Fallout 4 People

[proper torrent]

I’m really excited for the show

[covert depot]

Howard says he and Bethesda were sold when Nolan and his team proposed building an entirely new story within the existing realm Fallout. “I did not want to do an interpretation of an existing story we did,” Howard says. “That was the other thing—a lot of pitches were, you know, ‘This is the movie of Fallout 3…’ I was like, ‘Yeah, we told that story.’ I don’t have a lot of interest seeing those translated. I was interested in someone telling a unique Fallout story. Treat it like a game. It gives the creators of the series their own playground to play in.”

[strong sundial]

Interesting to see that the show is canon. I wonder about the inevitable retcons that will be done.

[craggy torrent]

I am SO excited for the show.

WOOOO

[strong sundial]

I have my hopes, though every live action show made from either a video game or animated show has its issues. I only hope whatever issues it may have are overshadowed by the positives.

[craggy torrent]

Unless it’s like the old Mario movie. I will not care

[marsh jasper]

https://x.com/DiscussingFilm/status/1729524967849480516?s=20

As everyone else is saying, the fallout is show is canon Lmfao

Also the prydwen is confirmed to show up and it apparently takes place 6-8 years after fallout 4.

Brotherhood ending is canon

[languid cape]

It's not the prydwen. Show is on the west coast

The one is the show is the Caswennan

[covert depot]

9 Years after Fallout 4, the Caswennan may be a ship made via the blueprints of the Prydwen that the East Coast Chapter more than likely sent to the West Coast Chapters.

I heard of other Brotherhood ships in the Mid West tho so I don’t necessarily know how this all ties in

[primal urchin]

Fallout Series look like another fallout 4 realism mod

[mild lintel]

So will the fallout series be on uh

Will it be on netflix or what?

[south drift]

amazon prime

[haughty pivot]

I thought this was fan-made

[craggy torrent]

I’m so happy it isn’t

[dapper wagon]

The ship obviously shares design elements with the Prydwen. If you google “Caswennan” first thing you get is the Wikipedia page for the Arthurian Legend of Prydwen. So pretty much the same naming conventions.

And clearly the BoS in California has been outfitted with T-60 Power Armor and Vertibirds.
Obviously Maxson would have sent tech back to California. That was what Lyons was expected to be doing. Question is whether this was a means of transporting the tech, or this built in California based on East Coast designs.

Also worth asking: is Arthur Maxson home, back east, or dead back east?

[covert depot]

Well we’ll know Next year. If they even bother addressing Fallout 4’s events.

[dapper wagon]

Honestly, what this ship says to me is they want to continue with the visual and technological advances they had with the Brotherhood in Fallout 4, but making it a Sister Ship instead of the Prydwen allows them to sidestep making any assertions over Canon in Fallout 4.

[hidden pond]

Ngl old world blues is so overrated

[covert depot]

What’s evident is that the East Coast Chapter by Fallout 4 basically became the Dominant Super Power over there, while the West Coasts was pretty much small fry to The NCR

No doubt the East Coast Chapter is sending over important stuff for them to get more powerful

[long lodge]

So far the mods and creation club extended maintenance is only affecting Skyrim as for right now because I can get into my mods in Fallout 4 and I'm on Xbox

[azure flower]

Regardless I still want the outpost/settlement system to go away

Along with the bloated perk system

[haughty pivot]

How is it overrated?

Considering I kinda love Old World Blues, specifically its cast of characters, the dialogue, the voice acting, its humor.

[haughty pivot]

Are the East Coast Chapter and the Lost Hills Chapter even in touch?

Can they even get any supplies to the East Coast from the Texan or Midwest Chapters?

I mean the only things that could probably travel such a distance without being targeted are eyebots like E-DE (who travelled from the greater Chicago area to Primm)

Pretty sure there is a 76 chat for the person who keeps deleting and reposting their question

[covert depot]

I would say Blueprint transfer among other things.

[haughty pivot]

How would they be able to transfer that is my point

[covert depot]

I don’t know lol, let’s wait

[cursive coral]

They are. The council of elders approved Maxson’s appointment as Elder. Even before that, they had contact with the east coast chapter and purposely cut it off when Lyons started doing his own thing.

[keen ledge]

Which brotherhood is more powerful? The east? or the west?

back me up Lunar

[azure crescent]

Why don’t you like the building system? I think it’s great, especially with Sim Settlements 2.

[azure flower]

It’s boring as heck. Especially trying to replay a new character

[azure crescent]

Removing it would probably result in A LOT of backlash though I think!

[hidden pond]

It's boring, 99% of it is fetching sink upgrades for appliances you aren't gonna use like the book chute. The mobius voice that you hear while walking around and from the robo Scorpions is annoying, the enemies aren't hard just tedious, way too much talking at the beginning

I'm playing through it again for the first time in years and I absolutely hate it. Feels like torture I wanna load my save all the way back before I made the mistake of coming back to the big Mt

[keen ledge]

but this still doesn't answer my question

like idk why FO4edit is not cleaning DLCworkshop02, done it like 10 times

[quasi sentinel]

Anyone getting the Alana secord bug that doesn’t let you get her radiant quests and I mean she doesn’t give them at all

[willow sable]

Right I’m gonna try fallout series again I tried fallout 4 couple years back couldn’t get into it but I think that’s due to me not be able to sit still at my Xbox lol now I’m getting a steam deck and be able to move and play I’m thinking of giving it another go what one should I start of with ?

Similar thing happend with Skyrim couldn’t get into it on Xbox got it on switch and boom I was addicted I just don’t know which fallout to dive into first

[lyric trellis]

I just want a Fallout 5

Is that ever going to happen or is Fallout 76 going to be it for the next 20 years?

[lone crypt]

Fallout 5 was confirmed in June, 2022.

[lyric trellis]

I think I did read that last year but totally forgot until now. Appreciate the reminder!

[haughty pivot]

You don’t need to fetch the things for the sink though, the only one that is important is the autodoc

I guess for the achievement

[strong sundial]

Fallout 5 is an inevitability. Fallout 76 while made as a live service game, won't last forever. And the community yearns for a fresh single player experience again.

But time wise? I don't believe we will see a Fallout 5 by 2030 unless we get ES6 news by next year, even then a fallout release in this decade is unlikely.
ES6 was announced in what, 2017-2018 and we haven't heard anything since. I don't believe Fallout 5 has been announced yet even, it's been confirmed by Todd sure, but announced? No.
Point being, Fallout 5 is a long ways out, it'll happen, but not anytime close to soon.

[lyric trellis]

Video games take way too long to make today. No reason for 15 years in between releases.

Despite Fallout 76 being a live service game I had no interest in when it was first released.

[strong sundial]

They definitely take a loooong time to make today. Though due to the size and scale of the games along with mechanical and graphical requirements, it's understandable that they take a long time. Though at the same time, games have unfortunately gotten somewhat worse in quality over the years, ironically.

[lyric trellis]

Game developer corporations don't hire enough people to make today's games, either.

That would eat into the profits they so desire to give to their shareholders, as many are publicly traded companies. Smaller companies can't survive before being bought out by EA, Activision Blizzard, etc.

[bleak bronze]

it was announced then and starfield was released before it

those announcement trailers mean literally nothing, it just shows that it will happen at some point

[strong sundial]

Where was it announced? As i think the only info we really have on Fallout 5 is Todd basically saying "We're gonna do it"

[bleak bronze]

es6 announcement

[bleak bronze]

and hey that’s kind of an announcement if you really try 💀

but my point was the es6 announcement trailer is literally no better than todd saying “we’re gonna do it”

[rustic hornet]

There was a Todd interview where he said they have one page on Fallout 5. Not much else has been said since that interview

[haughty pivot]

We won’t see a Fallout 5 til 2030 💀

That’s six damn years

I do hope it is in New Orleans

[craggy torrent]

I really really hope that it’s somewhere up north, perhaps as a nuclear winter since we haven’t seen any games about that

[craggy torrent]

Michigan would be great, or maybe Chicago. At least somewhere near the Great Lakes

[real portal]

Gonna go out on a limb and say that the brotherhood will be the villains

I mean if Walton goggins is a protagonist it would only make sense

[covert depot]

That would be a change of pace for sure.

[coarse tulip]

So apparently the fallout tv is gonna be another woke show. They said they are not gonna focus on like what should be focused on and just focus on politics and woks garbage I don’t understand what’s going on please Bethesda take charge and fix this nonsense

[coarse tulip]

Think 2035

[craggy torrent]

In what sense? I can deal with a lot of that crap but if they add it in just to be "diverse" I can't stand it. If you are going to add in diversity, make it make sense to the story. Like that one Pixar movie where they made the dad's kid g ay for no reason at all. No story linked to that at all.

[lyric trellis]

"Woke" is the new safe word for racists.

[craggy torrent]

Huh

[amber plinth]

Alright let's drop this and get back to Fallout

[craggy torrent]

Good idea

cough anyway

[lyric trellis]

All of the Midwest would be nice. That's always ignored by most games.

[craggy torrent]

I would love that

Michigan is a great place, Ive lived here long enought to know that

[lyric trellis]

Saint Denis was a great fictional New Orleans in Red Dead Redemption 2.

[lyric trellis]

The "Pure Michigan" car memes say otherwise. 😉

[craggy torrent]

🙄 yeah yeah

But it would be a great place to set up the game, I mean, we have Mackinaw Island, the Great Lakes, Detroit, Flint, some of the small towns like the ones in the Genesse district, and others

We literally have a town named Hell

Oooooo Frankenmuth would be a good one

I would love to visit Browners in-game (and yes, I know that it wouldn't exist)

I have SO many ideas for a Michigan themed Fallout game (Bethesda should definitly hire me, I'll work for free)

[lyric trellis]

You get to do quests for Michael Moore in Flint. 😂

[craggy torrent]

Not familiar with the name, I'll look him up

OH, what if you had to purify the Flint water system or maybe reconstruct the city

[lyric trellis]

You claim to be a Michigan resident and don't know who that is?! I'm surprised.

[craggy torrent]

Never heard of him

[lyric trellis]

He's had a ton of famous documentaries.

[craggy torrent]

Im more of a game person, not a movie person, I think the last documentery I watched was one about small animals. in 2022

[lyric trellis]

Never would have guessed anyone else here is a game person. 😉

[craggy torrent]

Nah, they all lost there way looking for something else. Im positive that they dont like video games, definitly

[lyric trellis]

Video games are the worst uuuuuugggghhhhhh

Fallout 3, New Vegas, and 4 are the order of RPG games I played starting in 2009.

I remember the day I preordered New Vegas. Never preordered another game ever again ever since. It was unplayable for the first month.

[craggy torrent]

Ouch, that sucks, Fallout 4 is my first one

I have complete faith in Bethesda that they will upgrade with the next-gen update, I have the utmost faith

[covert depot]

That it was.

[coarse tulip]

I have lost all faith in them at this point especially after those responses to all the negative starfield steam reviews lol “you can fly, you can shoot, you can mine, you can loot” honestly kinda catchy

They should make a song outa that.

[covert depot]

Honestly I think they shouldn’t have cared about those negative reviews

As why should they care what some people think when there are others who enjoy the game as it is? They didn’t like it, the end, don’t bother with them.

[coarse tulip]

There response to all the nagtive reviews were just copy paste responses that sounded like they were made by a bot also they told people you are wrong our game is good you are playing it wrong.

[covert depot]

Regardless I don’t think they should have cared much to even put up a bot response

[covert depot]

In regards to this, not specifically you, just the idea in general.

I’m getting real sick and tired of people calling something woke the moment it has something in it that shows even a bit of representation or any of the like, especially when if the product itself during what story it’s trying to tell doesn’t make it a big deal.

[lime radish]

Not to mention there are more important things to worry about after an apocalypse than sexuality

[covert depot]

Bethesda pretty much plays sexuality as a normal thing in TES as well to be clear, they don’t make it a big deal, nobody is homophobic in that series AFAIK, Racist yes, Homophobic, not really.

I’m just sick of it at this point of people making it a big deal that we have this and that in a show or movie, rather than judging the show or movie on it’s story and such.

[plush crescent]

the whole reason why the fallout universe exist is because of ww2 as when a atom splits it creates a bunch of universes well thats what the children of atom belive

[haughty pivot]

Yes, they can do that with Fallout; hopefully they don’t call it Old Orleans

[quasi sentinel]

Fallout 4 hopefully they fix quest bugs in next gen update

[lyric trellis]

I hope they do for the cringe.

[coarse tulip]

Lol imagine if the next fallout game was in Ohio it would be all over

[azure crescent]

How so? What’s so bad about Ohio?

[coarse tulip]

It’s Ohio

[raw comet]

Man the retconing and redirection of this ip sometimes...

Tv show is gonna be interesting considering the free pass the tv show has with cannon

[covert depot]

It seems people forget retconning is not necessarily a bad thing.

[raw comet]

Then they should retcon their own retcons

I dislike is how knowledge of firearms, history, design, and function seems to get worse somehow every game title. Like do what you want with your sci fi references and energy weapons. But mini guns that shoot the effective equivilant of nerf rounds, american weapons becoming american-solviet hybrits, ammo types and dmgs that dont make sense or just straight up defy physics is annoying. And some people can make the point of lack of manufacturing, or lack of firearms knowledge unless your something that hordes production and technology like bos or gun runners

But then you look at starfield which is supposed to be cutting edge future pluss and even their weapons dont make sense

[covert depot]

I’m just not gonna bother because I’ve dealt with Gun Nuts before

[raw comet]

All im saying is nothing was wrong with fallout 3 ar which was a g3 or fal clone, the commando vault boy has it and its seen in fallout 4

yet we get the tea kettle, and the ppsh ar, lever actions that need to reload ever single round, and the terrible shotgun

and even if you look at the previous weapons from games before the bethesda aquisition there were actual guns hk, lugars, ect

Bethesda needs to hire some gun guys for qol

[covert depot]

I’m not a gun nut so really I don’t particularly care that some people get annoyed a weapon isn’t super accurate.

[raw comet]

you don't have to be a gun nut, and I take that as derogatory, because what it really is, is someone actually knowledgeable about the basics

there nothing crazy about being knowledgeable about something

[covert depot]

When you have dealt with someone who complains nonstop about Guns not being accurate, you get tired of hearing it.

[raw comet]

Well when you dealt with people and authorities who have power of not only regulating, but also implementing it, and its consistant enough to were its not just a bug, or a simple wrong detail, it also gets annoying and tired of hearing it. And it is even more annoying when they justify it by saying something like its not Call of duty, or arma. Like that was somehow the goal, of some convoluded 12 step plan to make fallout exactly those games somehow, when the reality is hey these don't really work, can you do better to make them make sense and believable in this universe im investing myself in.

with that being said I apreciate you reading

even if you dont care

also the guns are fallouts lower more accesable examples of it

[raw comet]

Another one is power armor

the shifts in its use, requirments, strengths, obtainability, numbers scattered across america, materials to craft/repair/power the shift of it being military to feeling like you could get your very own recreational power armor pre war and a raider 200 years in the future can operate it

[covert depot]

Power Armor Training wasn’t really a thing in Fallout 1 I believe to begin with.

[raw comet]

one positive thing I will say I don't mind some of the power armor, I wish the lore made it where the excavtor was a precurser to the military power armor suits due to the resource war, I would also love to see some more lore opening up on helcat power armor as it is mentioned, but I am warry of making to many power armor types or models without doing something distinct because when fallout 5 rolls around players will be looking forward to one of the most iconic things to be in and these suits do have roles.

They dont even have to be new power armor sets they could play into it with the upgrade mechanic were it makes vissible changes to the power armor, and its title similar to fallout 4, cause it can easily be very fat.

For example I think new vegas did it well were they had power armor salvaged with servos removed, that would of been a cool subvariant not requiring training

I think that would be the wise thing to do moving forward so that if a certain model or type is not present it can be added in later via dlc or mods

so the variant can evolve from its precourser to that variant

[covert depot]

Even then from what I recall they did that simply because it would allow for good armor and better movement, Power Armor training wasn’t a thing as far back as the 1st and even second game, including Tactics I believe, the training aspect was added later just to give it that special idea that it’s not something anybody can simply use, even then the fanbase is split on the idea if Training should matter or not for Power Armor.

I always believed that Training would allow better understanding of how to better utilize it to the fullest, but without it your not doing the maximum amount of damage and destruction you could do.

[raw comet]

this could be based of the model of the power armor which is reasonable considering 1 semingly a suit you step into and the other seems to be cloathes you just don on. The lore does speak on these different models. I say they are valid, but for them to be clear I believe both systems should exist.

If there is a model of power armor that has a fusion core that doesnt expire for hundreds of years make that a unique mechanic for a subvariant of that armor type, if there is a model that requires an exo suit frame also play into that

If i have the time and funding Id make a mock up of the system and subtypes as a concept for fallout 5

as there are some mechanics I rather be wiped from it that 76 implements

like gun levels. gun levels is a purely mmorpg system that is terrible and should not exist imo

[craggy torrent]

Gun levels? What are those again?

[raw comet]

your telling me I have a lvl 1 gun and a lvl 30 gun same model yet i cant equip and use because fudge brain

[covert depot]

And even then a Raider using Power Armor is no surprise to me because how to operate Power Armor would likely not even be to much of a secret these days.

[raw comet]

I would love to see varriants of the raider power armor, at least 2-4 more based of raider combat steriotypes

blastmaster, pain spike, ect

not like a skin

[covert depot]

If you look closely into the Raider Power Armor, it’s a mix of T-45 and T-51b, of course with added scrap upon it, showing it was in some type of disrepair

[raw comet]

I could agree with the shoulder, community is pretty split though as some pieces do seem random scrap metal put on where they can upon a universal power armor frame

cause the frame itself is armor and you very much see that in other power armors as well but if you look at the pieces its more similar in concept than replication of t-45 t-51 if anything it be a raider boss like that guy in iron works with a t-45 torso

kinda sad how they changed the repair for raider armor in 76

used to be pretty cheap to repair requiring steel which makes sense and gave it a unique quirk imo

i hope the hellcat gets included in the XO line of power armor

[covert depot]

XO?

[raw comet]

XO-1 XO-2 Black Devil XO-3 Hellfire XO-4 Hellcat

enclave series

[covert depot]

God it’s been some time since I last brushed into Fallout this much.

Hellfire I think is meant to be an aquatic type of Power Armor given the various clues in Fallout 4 and it’s design in 76

[raw comet]

Hellfire had the quirk of fire resistance and better armor Hellcat has the quirk of extra ballistic resitance

[raw comet]

your trolling me?

hellfire is from fallout 3, they used fire weapons like incinerator whats aquatic?

[covert depot]

I meant Hellcat

[raw comet]

OH

[covert depot]

I wasn’t lying when I said it’s been some time, because I stopped playing 76 last year.

[errant hill]

Hellcat I think is used by the hellcats referenced in fallout 4s worst part (the beginning)

[covert depot]

That Latin saying the Hellcats use is translated as “Death from the Sea.”

[raw comet]

okay, yeah i can see that, similarities from marine recon armor from fallout 4. I can see the hellcat being some kind of marines type of power armor deployed in china similar how the big red 1 or marines 1st division was deployed in ww2

that be cool to see, enclave marines

[covert depot]

I’m fine enough with Hellcat being for the specific Military Division only.

[raw comet]

I'm open to the idea certain military branches getting variants of power armor

[errant hill]

Well if we consider cc content cannon... Space suits?

[covert depot]

But the Red Visor is also supposed to be the indication it was used as Infiltration from the sea type of deal, as I believe it’s been Stated Red Visors on Goggles or something correct the water colors or something along those lines.

[errant hill]

But they also exist alongside normal space suits akin to the Mercury program style

[raw comet]

oh thats really good I forgot about the space battle mural

[errant hill]

No I'm talking the USSA powerarmor

[covert depot]

The Fallout TV Show showing that rifle from Fallout 4 is still odd, in fact I knew some people commented on it, it always did look odd to me.

[raw comet]

I agree with you

[covert depot]

Like I said I usually am not bothered if Guns are not 100% Accurate, but if a gun design looks so weirdly out of place then I will say it’s just off

[raw comet]

Thats my exact sentament

[errant hill]

Yea I always thought it looked odd

[raw comet]

that and they replaced a model that was neat and fun

[errant hill]

Now it looks like a machine gun so hopefully assault rifles still exist?

[covert depot]

I wouldn’t mind if the gun is a makeshift thing in the apocalypse in the end

[raw comet]

hope so

[covert depot]

It was supposed to be a Machine Gun from what I recall but opted to make it the assault rifle

[raw comet]

and combat rifle needs a lore update, at least make the ammo 45 colt long and not 45 auto

[errant hill]

Well in power armor it's definitely an assault rifle

[errant hill]

How do we know it's not in a special 45 cal not 45 ACP or LC

[covert depot]

A Gun only Power Armor Users could use does sound cool

[raw comet]

model mag, ejection casings, the ammo box, the facts its compatible with the smg thompson

[errant hill]

Well like in size it looks like a normal gun lol but no you should be able to use it at least on a bipof

[covert depot]

I still love the LMG from 76

[raw comet]

honestly combat riffle could be changed to 10mm 10mm is only slightly bigger than 45 auto/acp and that way bethesda can have its 10mm everything

[errant hill]

Yea and it's also based on a direct blowback 7.62 fed SMG

[covert depot]

With 76 I know they added some guns that weren’t in 4, the LMG being one of them.

[raw comet]

but there should bring back the r97 from 3

[errant hill]

10mm is smaller in diameter

[errant hill]

M2 the mk19, m79

[raw comet]

longer tho

[errant hill]

So why is the mk 19 in the game and the m79 but not the M16 or m14

[raw comet]

oh believe me I have no problems if they made a fallout "modern garrand"

[covert depot]

Idk honestly, for some reason I think devs these days when it comes to Guns in general aren’t adding enough at times

[raw comet]

.306 with a ping from stripper clips

[errant hill]

It's not a stripper clip

[raw comet]

is neuron activation, and .306 is a decent combat rifle round and hunting round

[covert depot]

The thing is the Devs are clearly aware of past games to add certain things like the Fallout 1 assets into HD for Fallout 76.

[errant hill]

It's not .306 it's .30-06 as in 1906 when the caliber was introduced and no it doesn't a stripper clip you push the rounds in then remove it or slam the bolt forward to pop it out an enbloc ejects when the last round is spent

[raw comet]

your right, i forgot the clip is also thrown out

[errant hill]

Omg please just shush

[raw comet]

my bad its been a while

[errant hill]

It's basic firearms mechanics

[raw comet]

I forgot its been a while

[errant hill]

Also ejecting those clips constantly can hurt the garand

It is .30-06

Not .306

[raw comet]

yes i was explaining the mix up

.30-06

ethier way its a decent hunting round

[errant hill]

You think I don't know that? I have a garand in a sage armory stock and an hcar with a bipod and scope

[raw comet]

so Id be happy if it saw a comeback in fallout even if it was formally a battle rifle cartage

I didnt say you didn't know that Im just saying I apreciate that

[errant hill]

.30-06 is a rifle cartridge
.308 is the stereotypical battle rifle cartridge

But as I was saying earlier with the combat rifle it still very much could use some new odd ammo and just all .45 is labeled 45 for gameplay

[raw comet]

agree

[craggy torrent]

This makes zero sense to me, but it’s interesting to watch

[errant hill]

45 LC is a rimed cartridge you said it had to be 45 LC the cartridge ejected in game isn't rimmed

And if every gun in the game used .45 ACP the pipe revolver just wouldn't work

[raw comet]

i think the pipe guns used a variety of different ammo types

[errant hill]

The base pipe pistol uses 45

[raw comet]

the revolver yea

[covert depot]

This Show being on the West Coast would have to at least had the Director play those games, cause I hear he did play the Fallout Games but not which ones in particular, but I assume Fallout 4 has to be one of them.

[errant hill]

If it was using .45 ACP it would need moon clips something that isn't on the model

[covert depot]

I’ve been hearing he’s actually been playing the games which is better than someone not doing it and later doing an adaption, cough cough, Halo.

[errant hill]

But the combat rifle and shotgun are just wacky

[errant hill]

My dad keeps trying to get me to watch it and my response always is "when you actually play fallout 3 to the end and not just quit at the vault I will"

[celest gale]

can some one plz help me my fallout 4 keeps crashing on start up

[errant hill]

Welcome to fallout 4

[craggy torrent]

What console

[celest gale]

pc

[craggy torrent]

Any mods?

[celest gale]

yea

[raw comet]

i miss the r91

[craggy torrent]

Might be the problem, usually is

[raw comet]

fun gun

[celest gale]

so do i turn them off

[errant hill]

@raw comet the combat shotgun is worse in terms of wtf btw

[craggy torrent]

That may help, I’m not an expert but I’ve seen enough conversations where mods are the problem

[raw comet]

better than fallout 3 shotgun

[celest gale]

ok let me try turning them off

[errant hill]

The db in 4 is like 20 gauge which is 2 ¾ of an inch fired

The combat shotgun can fit an 8 gauge round

[craggy torrent]

Good luck

[raw comet]

you know, funny enough if you modified the combat rifle to be a box mag 12 guage shotgun, I think it be better than both, but honestly. I just want an m12 shotgun, its clasic, it looks good and its satisfying to use.

[errant hill]

And both the combat shotgun and rifle are based off a irl smg so any idea of what they are really is gone

[raw comet]

a ppsh and a bar yeah

[errant hill]

No it's not based off of a bar

[raw comet]

the front end of the combat rifle kinda does especially if you get the longer barrel

[errant hill]

No not really

[celest gale]

bro it worked😭

[raw comet]

I don't know why bethesda mixes solviet weapons into their gun design

[craggy torrent]

Woohoo!

[errant hill]

It's decor

[celest gale]

the thing is that i love modding

[craggy torrent]

Congrats

[celest gale]

thx

[craggy torrent]

I do hope that it works out sometime

[errant hill]

The only time they have good gun design post fallout 3 is when they copy something irl fantastic examples include deliverer pump shotgun from 76, radium rifle, 44mag single action revolver, mg42 the mk19 without the grip gimmick they have same as the M2

Then we have my most hated things the 50 cal hunting rifle and the pipe bolt action and the pipe pistol

[covert depot]

So the R91 is a cut Weapon from 76

[errant hill]

Fantastic example of things Bethesda copied from irl

The desert eagle also exists in the fallout universe

The pump shotgun is a Remington 870 and I'm not even kidding @raw comet

[raw comet]

yea, honestly one of the reasons why a g3-fal like clone should be mainstay cold war rifle is because since fallout went the time line slip, another choice they could of done was opted for the fal like nato instead of going with m14 not that the m14 wasnt a solid gun, but it make a nice twist with some historical context.

wish they had more emphasis from american used firearms in their weapons, so they are appropriate, and yeah I agree with you, their better weapons is when the apply irl weapons

[errant hill]

Its a cetme clone not a G3 clone

[raw comet]

ah yeah

[covert depot]

I’m iffy on made up guns in games in general.

[errant hill]

Fallout 1/2 have the early 44 mag desert eagle hell the .223 is a bolt action rifle (because it's based on blade runner)

[covert depot]

I was surprised by the many different ammo types in Starfield.

[raw comet]

and like fallout based itself on some weapons that didnt manage to take of like pancor jackhammer, but another gun could easily replaced it with a similar enough functionality or better like the AA-12

future cutting edge recoiled reduced us auto shotgun to fill that experimental niche

[covert depot]

I know the AA-12 is a real Shotgun, it’s actually one of my favorite shotguns in the game

The one from the Main Quest is the best one

[raw comet]

it is also one of my favorate shotguns

[errant hill]

They got some of them right in starfield

[errant hill]

I find it dumb that somehow ceaseless 12g won't work in a normal shotgun? And why is a VSS a hunting rifle?

[covert depot]

I’m not a gun expert to be clear.

[errant hill]

The aa12 is actual garbage there isa reason why no one adopted it or the HK caws or jack hammer

[raw comet]

brandy boy did a decent cover about starfields weapons, best weapon son was the VSS or AS VAL. They are incredibly sus how well again they do soviet elements in their games

[covert depot]

Funny thing is in GTA 4 The Ballad of Gay Tony the AA-12 was literally one of the best weapons in that game

[errant hill]

The old world shotgun is based on the Ithaca 37 but the pump grip is super wonky and isn't right for loading it and the rounds eject magically out the side not the bottom like the 37 does @covert depot

[raw comet]

AA-12 Isnt garbage but I will say military is not really investing in shotgun now adays pitty because the recoil control on the weapon is pretty impresive, yeah you have a drum, but if you dont want it you can use mags but even then I guess you need to change up the logistics from you know the pump shotguns marines run around with mag based ones

[covert depot]

Ya know one of these days I may get into the Gun Niche, only because Mature Video Games make me appreciate them.

[raw comet]

yea guns are cool

[errant hill]

Idk about you but I'd rhater a carbine over a 20 lb shotgun

[raw comet]

depends on enviorment honestly and yeah the og was heavy aa12 buffed the kinks and made it a bit lighter. This would be pretty good for urban or jungle combat especially when you have heavy brush and thin trees.

I think its a fair option, especially with different loads

[errant hill]

I'm taking the aa12 not it's development models

[raw comet]

yeah like I said it depends, I say its a solid option, not to mention the third party support that came in the form of weapon application systems, like one that had twin aa-12's

12 guage slugs is nothing to sneeze at

[fossil lynx]

Timeline doesn't really matter, design matters.
It doesn't matter if a weapon was created in 1910 or 2010, if it fits the Fallout artstyle it's fair game.
( Most of the guns people keep asking for don't fit that artstyle though in my humble opinion. )

[errant hill]

Yeah they are when all it is is just weight not speed

[errant hill]

Yea that's the worst part of the games

[fossil lynx]

I mean, if you want a modern military shooter - Just use mods or play one of the dozens of other military shooters out there.

[raw comet]

solution to that would to have it be designated point man similar to how the marines had marines who carried a shotgun in fellusia and though it was technichally used for breaching some doors had beards on them

[fossil lynx]

There's only one retro 50s atom/diesel punk RPG out there, gotta preserve it

[raw comet]

So well in fact the british sas loved it and adoped it

And with how well shotguns perfom against breaching, body armor, or light cover I say its valid.

There is a role and place for an auto shotgun, will agree the weight needs to be considered tho.

but depending on the mission or role nothing to say a striker infantry group cant have it in the vehichle similar to how they sometimes carry other weapons ammo or weaponsystems to a stryker platoon

speaking of weapon systems while the scar heavy didnt get much love, you hear about how the scar light chambered in 5.56 was actually beloved by american troops

and had an excellent combat record, i myself didnt know this ethier till, I started learing more about post 2000 middle eastern conflicts

anyways i got to go

nice talking

[errant hill]

Well the service rifle and stuff are cool

[errant hill]

It's also expensive as balls and now they are adopting an unproven gun when the HK 417 could easily be rechambered and they purchase more then slap the new scope on and bam no retraining because the xm5 won't work when a mag is slammed in

[fossil lynx]

They are! Wooden furniture is an easy way to make a lot of guns fit the artstyle.

[errant hill]

Or the polymers too

[fossil lynx]

Polymer is a different story imho

[errant hill]

We'll look at the early ar15 and tell me that doesn't look like a product of the 50s

[fossil lynx]

Dirty it up and the model 602 can work - But Fallout's world is one where wood furniture should trump polymer.

[raw comet]

yeah but on the bright side marine core got a nice new toy in the form of hk416
