100%, the Omertas straight up make me sick - Every replay of New Vegas - I gotta go mass shooter on Gommorah at some point. I think the difference is that having an entire high-society cannibal organisation is a campy video game type of evil - Whereas the type of evil the Omertas are engaged in...

Fallout Sonora has several Doctor checks in every city (Though it also has it so Doctor's Bags can be used to bypass the checks, and you can use junk to bypass repairs so, mixed feelings) - It also has it so Crippled Limbs happens fairly frequently so it pays off to have a high Doctor. Hell...

Possibly - I don't think I've ever tried a low-luck character - I just like Luck too much. The early to mid game experience of being able to consistently take out creatures way too hard for you like Deathclaws, with well-placed criticals, but then getting your ass beat if you get in a fight...

Ok, but this lowkey could have used some work because in base-game Fallout, Doctor was not very useful. It's better in Fallout 2 because it's what lets you get Implants, and I think there are a few times you can use it on NPCs in the world.

I don't think it being 3D is intrinsically worse - New Vegas is great, and in fact part of it's greatness comes from being 3D and being able to have this really well designed world. However, I do agree with Gizmo that Fallout is intrinsically a 2D Point-and-click game - Something was lost when...

Sulik feels kinda odd to me as time goes on - The idea of, presumably Americans, surviving an apocalypse and suddenly speaking in Patwa and wearing bones through their noses - Doesn't feel like an organic development. It feels like somebody just picked up a bunch of signifiers that indicate...

People on NMA really arguing over which side is more gay, as if being gay isn't epic.

TBH, the Switch 2 trailers all feel like parodies to me Even the name "Switch 2" is just so lazy: Like it used to be there was justification for having new consoles from Nintendo, "Oh this new version of the DS is 3D" type stuff. What do you mean it's the "Switch 2" - at least add a gimmick so...

My hot take: Pre-war stuff should have an aura of mystery about it. Like Fallout 1, the only unoccupied pre-war ruin which has been abandoned the whole time is The Glow, which has been blasted to hell and back with radiation so nothing can survive there. You see the names and job descriptions...

I love that Tactics is getting appreciation all of a sudden.

Eh, both are stupid, but Fallout 4 tries to be serious and therefore fails worse - Like trying to pretend the Institute believe in literally anything - Game wants to be New Vegas, but you know, New Vegas let you ask Caesar actual questions, it's not just "We're good for humanity because we say...

It is kinda weird that we have two groups of long-lived beings that can't reproduce - yeah. But also, I think the reason I don't have a problem with it - Is because if Ghouls are very old, like to the extent that there are people who lived long before the bombs dropped who are still living 200...

You could say the same about Super Mutants: They only come from Mariposa, and can't reproduce. IDK, I think different groups of people having a specific context and history, and not simply being universal, is kinda good.
