    Lanius's bad reputation is undeserved

    It's easy to forget, but a large amount of content was planned to have the player travel to Arizona and visit the Legion capital city, Flagstaff. They have a large number of free citizens living under them, and tolerate traders and other independent settlements. Legionaries themselves are...

    Lanius's bad reputation is undeserved

    The real Caesar fought several battles that were considered foolhardy and against heavy odds, but won decisively. And the importance of the Dam can't be understated. Control the dam and you control the entirety of Nevada from Vegas up to the border of New Reno, gain a hydroelectric plant...

    Many a True Nerd "Fallout 3 is Better than you Think"

    I've enjoyed every Fallout game, barring Brotherhood of Steel and 76, which I've not played and don't plan to. I never had a very big problem with 3. It's not as good as the others in its line, no, but I don't particularly hate it. It has its own strengths, and Bethesda does do a few things...

    How would you have re-done Fallout 3's lore?

    Enlarge the city, add a few more settlements but make it clear it's a hellhole, one of the hardest hit regions in the war. The Brotherhood Outcasts are the dominant chapter, as it's Lyons and his crew that are considered renegades. They can still be altruistic and benevolent, but make it less...

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

    The NCR uses functional military trucks in New Vegas, though they're static props. The BoS and Enclave would probably have tanks and other vehicles some in storage too. I think the main reason things like tanks don't appear is for balance, engine limitations across the board, and because fuel...

    Fallout 3 criticisms

    To be fair, even the Master's grunts are dumb cannon fodder aside from his named leaders. They run single-file at you and scream things like "I rip you to pieces!!" My personal complaint is the railroaded story and forced morality of the factions. The lack of a proper Enclave side without mods...

    Lanius's bad reputation is undeserved

    Lanius taking over and being a total failure always seemed weird to me. Firstly, Caesar has a super intelligent, super strategic thinker who's his right-hand man, genuinely believes in the Legion, and plays the Legion's Mojave enemies like a fiddle, but the tribal with poor strategic skills is...

    A name for the Carolina Wastelands?

    I like collective referring to it all as "The Marion" for some reason.

    Fallout V (What it would BE)

    Play as a member of the Enclave. You're part of a patrol that gets ambushed and now you're stuck in the wastelands. Over the course of the game you try to get back in touch with your base, and the endgame is choosing between multiple factions to move in an assert control over a particularly...

    Fallout PnP 4.0 Playtest Stream

    Likewise! I've been itching to play Fallout on Roll20.

    Fallout 3 Insidious Morality

    What gets me more on 3's busted morality system is the choices are usually really weird, and not much of a real choice if we're talking nuanced morality decisions. Either nuke a town and wipe out all its people who've been nothing but nice to you and who you have no reason to harm, or don't...

    I'm trying to figure some things out about the Enclave

    To each their own, of course. Still, despite how just about everything in 4 was disappointing, one thing I was personally let down by was no Enclave presence, and in general the lack of any ability in the series, beyond a few half-baked opportunities and New Vegas' remnant, to side with the...

    I'm trying to figure some things out about the Enclave

    The problem with the Enclave and discussing things like lost contact issues or Eden rallying them is the Enclave's actual size seems to shift game to game. Sometimes they have bases as far north as Alaska, sometimes no one can even get a message out past Navarro, and sometimes they can migrate...

    Is all Nuka Cola addictive and/or radioactive by design?

    From what I figure it's as addicting as any real soda, as in the caffeine and how much you drink of it. If the misc nutrition facts on it are accurate, it's got a fair bit more caffeine than Coke, but nothing extreme. The radiation came from the outside world and exposure, too. Even in the...

    So why is Caesar such a dick in New Vegas?

    Only if you were captured. Coming in willingly, passing through their lands, or swearing fealty to Caesar let you be left alone. For many in the post-apocalyptic world, one enslaved war captive is worth a roadway free of raiders and mutants.

    Star Wars: Rogue One

    Am I the only one not interested in Phasma at all? All the press hype and fan hype around her is even worse than Boba Fett. She's on screen for, what, a few minutes, most of that time spent standing in the background? Speaks maybe thrice? At least Boba Fett was built up to be a badass bounty...

    Things that Fallout 3 did right!

    For what it's worth I loved the atmosphere of Point Lookout. The other expansions ranged from forgettable to horrible, but Point Lookout was a diamond in the rough.

    Fallout 3 is The Force Awakens

    Colonel Autumn's rebellion against Eden is possibly the laziest cop out in Bethesda's recent history. "Alright, so the story's a long ways so far, but it's looking pretty linear. The player has no choice but to help the Brotherhood no matter what. How do we fix this?" "Oh, I know Mr. Howard...

    Star Wars: Rogue One

    Long story short, I hated it. Not too keen on its predecessor either.

    Who do you think is the most badass character in the entire franchise?

    Legate Lanius. You show me one other NPC whose class is "legionarybadass."
