    General Discussion Thread of DOOM

    Giant fuckboy that persisted on the forum to annoy people, mostly. Seemed to hate just about anyone including himself. He took to spamming messages in the status update feed, claiming Hass had muted his posting privileges (effectively an old man yelling at the clouds). It was truly pathetic.

    The Enclave: Evil or Machiavellian?

    I'm finding it difficult to process that a faction of power armor Nazis, were in fact just misunderstood good guys fighting for America.

    A new-found appreciation for Fallout 3

    1) Sort of. I followed the pre-conceived path of 101 -> Springfield -> Megaton. I branched off afterwards. 2) I think it was a good decision since they wanted to quickly establish a safe-haven for a player-character that had just been banished from his original community. A quick place to...

    Climate Change is not real!

    Could they even happen fast enough?

    So why do games have to be political?

    In fairness, this perspective is informed from the fact that we pilot a literal God that: Can unravel time and course correct bad decisions. Can be an ubermensche gunslinger that beats Deathclaws to a pulp with boxing gloves for a change of pace. Can talk down big brain Robots, House, and...

    My rant on Todd Howard.

    There's a picture floating around where someone photoshopped Pete's face to look like a Fallout 1 Super Mutant... Here we go:

    My rant on Todd Howard.

    He's a cool "bro" guy to hang out with. It's mentioned around in the interwebs that he's regarded as largely inept at managing projects - so definitely not the first time I've heard it mentioned. I think any ire that Petey gets, on the other hand, is warranted. Dude cancels interviews with you...

    So why did Chris want the wasteland nuked in lonesome road at the end of it?

    I always figured tunnelers were the big middle-finger from CA.

    My rant on Todd Howard.

    Dadd Howard touched my anus and I sort of didn't like it.

    So why can't Fallout have tank gangs in it?

    It's a smarter Megaton, essentially. Rather than building your civilization around a bomb, you do so around something that can provide a solid defense when people come looking for trouble.

    So why can't Fallout have tank gangs in it?

    But that's not *fun*. /s

    So why can't Fallout have tank gangs in it?

    Mini-nuke launchers just spoil the possibility of tanks being useful.

    So why can't Fallout have tank gangs in it?

    Yep. I mean tanks in general are cool and all and definitely good for traversing shitty landscapes. The problem arises with how these entities are handled in Bethesda games. The novelty of fighting a tank would wear off quick after the 10th radiant quest asking you to go deal with one in some...

    Lanius's bad reputation is undeserved

    Narrator: You didn't.

    Lanius's bad reputation is undeserved

    Because I'm not just scraping the information from a wikia and trying to piece together loose justifications. The camaraderie aspect is one of many tools from a commissar's toolbox. Over-reliance on fear and summary executions get you nowhere. Commissar Sobile was one exception where he actively...

    Lanius's bad reputation is undeserved

    To his credit, Caesar is pretty smart in managing things and recognizing talent. He's the Steve Jobs of Post-apoc warfare.

    Lanius's bad reputation is undeserved

    Vulpes is like the only actual smart guy in the Legion. He's the Agrippa that Caesar desperately needs.

    Lanius's bad reputation is undeserved

    It's not. It's probably better or worse in some perspectives. Sorry, but I'm not really going to take it on the word of some self-proclaimed God sitting at the top of a war camp, or a trader that directly benefits from the ongoing conflict. It would have been great if we did see Flagstaff and...

    Lanius's bad reputation is undeserved

    Right, but it's also punctuated by the whole women being slaves and breeding stock for officers. There's also the assimilation of tribes that Caesar originally said could maintain their autonomy provided they serve the cause. The 'free citizens' are likely not free at all. It's Starship...

    Lanius's bad reputation is undeserved

    It's a serious point that gauges whether rank-and-file troops are expressing something of their own volition, and not because the alternative to doing so is being put to the sword. Plus Silus, despite undergoing torture, was quite adamant in his belief that he would sneak out of the airfield...
