Manny-fucking-Vargas. He expects me to fight feral ghouls, nightkin AND send ghouls INTO SPACE for a "Oh yeah, they went to Boulder City." Happened to me on my first playthrough. Didn't know you could steal the information from his computer. Suffice to say he's not been making it till the end...

"Go kill Mr. House. Tell me when you're done." No information, no weapons, no back-up. Nothing! Like it's just a chore.

Stealth, hands down. There's almost nothing you can do to an opponent that you cannot see.

I can't say I found New Vegas dialogue always to be enjoyable. It's often one-dimensional and laden with metaphores to the point of pretentiousness (I'm looking at you, Ulysses and Graham...). It certainly had it's moments, but the only dialogue that really stood out for me was Caesar's. In...

I loved the original Bioshock. Never played Bioshock 2 or Infinite, since I knew they could only disappoint after Bioshock had blown me away. The horror elements that the original Bioshock had worked really well with it's environmental storytelling, in a similar way as Amnesia: The Dark Descent...

In my latest playthrough I play a VATS-oriented character and I can say this: VATS really shines when you are in a close range situation where you're overwhelmed with enemies. It switches targets seamlessly and usually maintains a 95% hitrate. You also get a 6% bonus to crit chance. At medium to...

Personally, I found them lacking. The gender-related ones are quite situational and rarely provide any significant bonus. The main reason I'd take it is for the 10% bonus to the opposite gender, but because I roleplay a lot, I tend to ignore it. The only time it added something significant in...

Most of it depends on what kind of character I am playing, but since I usually play the neutral evil mercenary-type in Fallout 3, I'll comment from that perspective. The game really seems to make the more sense when played in that way. Tenpenny Tower: Kill the ghoulies for caps. You'll never...

If we assume what you say is true, and the NCR's military incompetence wouldn't continue beyond the Mojave, wouldn't that still attribute to a major Legion victory? Hoover Dam, Vegas, Mojave Outpost. Aren't those the objectives the war is about? I notice in a lot of these discussions it is...

Caesar's Legion wins, because the Legion understands the multifaceted nature of warfare. The NCR can only think in tactical terms and within in the tunnel vision of technology.

Well, in New Vegas they're a shadow of their former selves after being hunted down by the NCR. If they hadn't rushed New Vegas, perhaps they could've fleshed out a lot of the factions, including the Great Khans. For me, nothing screams Fallout more than a raider gang like the Khans and I...

Hey everyone, During my last playthrough of F:NV I sort of roleplayed a Great Khan and did a lot of their quests (and collected a lot of 1st recon berets). I also downloaded a mod in which you get the option to recruit a Great Khan companion. All-in-all I really enjoyed them as a faction and I...

In Holland we have a yearly event where people hike 150 km in 4 days for fun. Even old people and children attend. The military contestants carry full backpacks and make about 40 kms a day. Unless Pittsburgh - DC is 300 km of swamps, 16km is nothing. Under pressing conditions a person could hike...

We are not debating.

Then why are you trying to rationalize everything?

I agree that a believable world is important. Are you refering to Fallout 3 or Fallout 4 in this regard?

Isn't it just common sense? We don't need to have every detailed spelled out for us. That's the beauty of storytelling.

Why do people find it so hard to believe that there's brigands in the Wasteland? And who's to say they do not hunt, or scavenge when raiding isn't feasible?

I feel like by adopting the FPS-style they put a lot of pressure on themselves to provide realistic gunplay. It's my opinion Fallout doesn't need realistic gunplay, and is better off sticking to or creating it's own style, which could be within a 3d/FPS framework, but also isometric. I don't...

Oh, I'm sorry man. I thought, since you could enslave Bryan Wilks aswell, it extended to more children in game, but apparently it's limited to very specific characters.
