That moment I shoot something in the head a gazillion times and then it one shots me. Ofcourse, I'm too low level for whatever it is I'm trying to kill, but I'll kill this critter, even if it's the last thing I do. Time to shoot up on all the drugs I've been stocking up, loading the best ammo...

As opposed to the absolutely sensical world of cowboy robots, the Roman legion reincarnated and high society cannibals? (I could go on, but won't.) C'mon, dude.

1. Exploration; In Fallout 3 I was much more thrilled to wander off and explore every part of the map. More effort was put into making every corner of the map worth investigating. Even if it didn't yield big loot, it always had one or two semi-useful items, a snippet of story, or a quest. In...

"Someone to Watch Over Me" is a quest is quite liked. It's the quest that takes place around New Vegas's outskirts (it's a bit similar to "The Coyotes") and has you dealing with gangsters, pimps and the like. It's the kind of gritty quests New Vegas didn't have enough of, in my opinion.

The Followers of the Apocalypse and the Great Khans were both factions I really liked. I'd turn them into major factions, just so there'd be more content involving them. Supporting the Followers could turn all the backwaters around the Strip, like Freeside, North Vegas Square, etc. into better...

Never bought Fallout 4. I'll also think twice before buying a game from the Fallout franchise again. Too many good game series go down the shitter because the developers try to reach the mainstream crowds.

Calling the exchange of freedom for comfort objectively wrong is a weird generalization. I get where you're coming from, but someone who lives in a society has to abide by rules, and thus isn't truly free. Hell, if you fail to pay taxes in any western society you risk being put into jail or...

You're going to have to explain that. Don't people, by choosing to live in a society, trade freedom for comfort?

A problem arises when people first argue moral relativism, and subsequently try to argue for the moral highground. That obviously makes no sense.

I agree. Lack of Legion content is, in my opinion, the biggest flaw of New Vegas.

Moral relativity isn't "postmodern". Philosophers as far back as ancient Greece have proposed the idea of moral relativity. To this day the only critique that makes some sense is that it is impractical. Even this entire thread is a testament to how hard it is for people to agree on what is...

So there you go. I said 'self interest' is a requirement. Not the only requirement.

It would depend on the reason you poison the well. If you do it, just because you can, that's evil. Gratification is also self interest, in this hypothetical. Not that I am condoning it, but they obviously have a different view on when a girl is mature (for them, fertility = maturity). It's a...

So do African tribals. Are they evil?

Still, 'self interest' is something that, in my opinion, is required for something to be called evil.

I'd rank Caesar's Legoin as Lawful Neutral, considering it follows strict traditions. It's neither benevolent nor malevolent for the sake of it. The NCR I'd rank as Chaotic Neutral, considering it follows mostly capitalist ideas; Everyone does what suits them best, without much regard for...

Let me just add, that just because the writers of a story state a character or faction is 'evil', it doesn't make it so. Good and evil are subjective concepts. It's akin to a writer stating a character is attractive.

For a faction designed to be "evil", they're not that evil, tbh. Brutal, yes. Evil, no. Especially when the standards of the wasteland are taken into consideration.

Look at it this way: If two people are going to fight; One gets a knife, one gets a gun; Who wins? Some of you may say "Ofcourse, the man with the gun will just shoot the man with the knife." But here is the catch. The man with the gun cannot see the man with the knife. The man with the knife...

It depends on my build, but I like switching to low-AP cost, high crit multiplier weapons in close quarters when I am playing a VATS character. For non-VATS characters I really like shotguns in CQB. With Shotgun Surgeon, And Stay Back and selfmade munitions they become very strong. Selfmade...
