I feel that New Vegas DLC is a different story from New Vegas vanilla. I love Ulyssess, I find think tank amusing. I didn't finish Honest Hearts, but Joshua Graham seemed alright. I will say that I like Benny, he's probably the best thing in the New Vegas Strip. One of my big complaints is that...

Yes, I'll give you that I mispoke, but in Vegas the level of conniving and foul play is very limited. None of the gangs are ever competing against each other. There isn't really a chairmen/omertas/white glove strife going on, and even with benny and the omertas, Benny's operation is very small...

I feel like there is a difference between external threat and internal threat. Legion would kill everybody, but they aren't part of vegas. Nobody in vegas is trying to take over vegas. New Vegas is a little bit better when you expand it out to include Freeside. I like the Kings. Freeside is...

I can't seem to find any preserved copies of Glittering Gems articles. I can't say I know much about it, other than it was a compiled validation of NMA's complaints on bethesda or something like that.

Many people tell me that one of the reasons they love fallout 3 and New Vegas (and sometimes even Fallout 4) is that they feel that the games are more immersive with their first person perspective that makes the world feel more real. They use this argument saying that the old games aren't...

I have the exact opposite problem. I find new vegas to be incredibly boring and uninteresting, from its characters to its choice of factions and political conflict. I never cared much about Hoover Dam, I get that its a valuable piece of energy generation but I always felt like there are no good...

New Vegas isn't PC, but it isn't the tense warzone that New Reno might as well be. In no ending is there Ash Tuesday for New Vegas. People obey the rules for the most part and they aren't trying to assassinate each other. Its all very controlled. The White Glove cannibals and Gomora torture is...

New Reno is just the cooler town. There is nothing to do in vegas, and it makes it feel rather lifeless. New Reno is a terrible place but its got a lot of style. Ultimately, Vegas has one problem that will always make me look down on it. Its too orderly. The primary difference between New Vegas...

Well that's just rude as hell. It's not that hard to observe themes and tropes on fallout. That's what makes it interesting. Is it that hard to imagine that fallout would make a parralel to Greek myths of Icarus and Daedalus? Is having skepticism towards a man who you mostly ever hear about from...

I was saying this shit way before I played lonesome road. The entire theme of fallout 2 is that the old world is crazy and not to be trusted. Anyway I'm about to leave so it will be a while until I give a full response.

I don't think he is half the genius he makes himself out to be.nobdy gets to the top without help, be he only ever talks about himself. He's egotistical. And even if he is half that good, I don't think it's the sort of genius that will save the wasteland. Like the enclave he is a ghost of the...

There are no groups capable of going to space. I didn't do much diving into van Buren lore but I don't think it was ever finished. I have no doubts that any efforts to take things into space would end in tragedy. And he isn't all that brilliant. For all his efforts he never managed colour video...

"Fallout isn't Terminator" I'm not sure fallout 4 got the memo.

I don't remember the Shi having space plans of any sort. I guess they are commanded by a computer emperor. The act of going to space is this demonstration of hubris. It is thinking you are above the wasteland and that makes it incredibly dangerous. I tend to think of it as akin to suicide.

There are 3 groups who try to go to space in fallout. All of them fail, and all of them crazy. Hubologists? Absolutely nuts. Jason Bright? Probably got everybody killed. Vice President Bird? Even his own people think he is crazy. Its like a running joke in the franchise. Its the sun and they are...

Yeah, I vaguely remember it, and going back to it he was full of himself. I just generally use "If you trying to go to space in fallout, you crazy." He definitely is cold and ruthless in his goals, but that was his give away to me. I don't trust anyone who's ambitious make them turn away from...

I would say because vaults are dumb and I can't fit a reactor in my pocket. I ain't going to be a homebody with a bunch of tasty ice pops. I'm single and ready mingle, taking the commonwealth dating scene by storm. To be honest, I never cared about the building aspects. Vault 111 was nightmare...

Fallout shelter isn't a fallout, and 76 is a spin off.

I feel like none of the other games capture fallout 2's humor at all though. They might put some teddy bears reading a newspaper on toilet but fallout 2 never did shit like that. It would have strange and bizarre circumstances, but it would go balls to wall on explaining those things and make...

Alright, while I have a lot to say, let me focus on how fallout 4 fails in its writing. Its not even that Fallout 4 has bad content, but rather that it just doesn't care about its presentation or how things flow together. Let's look at Diamond City. When you get there its closed off, there is...
