Vault experiments come from Fallout 2 but otherwise I agree.

I was thinking about posting this. It’s refreshing to see an out and out communist like Tim Cain push back against this idea that Fallout is mostly about how much capitalism sucks.

That’s not fair, every faction will inevitably lead to a second apocalypse according to the Master.

Well, just from my experience, it sometimes seems like NCR is the only one you’re “allowed” to support, based on the extrapolations people like to make about you. If you like the Legion you’re a Trumper at best, a Nazi at worst. If you like House it means you want Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos to take...

Nevada is translated too.

What exactly do the attributes have to do with the powers? Is the power more effective with a higher attribute score? I’m skeptical of the idea of having psykers play a significant role in Fallout. I like how Fallout doesn’t have “magic”, unlike some other sci-fi roleplaying universes (Mass...

I’m just popping in to say that Monty Python references are never dated.

I like the idea overall but I don’t think explicitly supernatural elements really fit in the Fallout universe. I’d keep the backstory and the legends that surround the building, the lights being on without a clear source of power, the building still standing despite the war, and the people...

I... don't think that I can continue. Continue? To have done the things I have done in the name of Rads. It was madness. I can see that now. Madness. MADness? There is no hope. Leave now, leave while you still have hope…

I remember there being a mod that changed its ammo type to 2mm EC. But it was a very basic mod and didn’t change any leveled lists, so BOS members would spawn with microfusion cells and be forced to use their fists. This was years ago, maybe it’s gone now.

Fallout was influenced by the 80s-90s because that’s the time period the devs lived in. It wasn’t a conscious choice. They set out to make a Mad Max-styled post-apocalyptic RPG, then at some point in production, Leonard Boyarsky had the idea to “make it like the 50s”. Specifically, to style the...

Forgive me for asking a stupid question instead of reading through the changelogs, but do the Gun Runners ever sell any of the Fallout 2 weapons?

They probably thought their name was cooler, not picking up on the double entendre of Fixer.

You can have sex in 3 and NV. More so in NV I think.

Can’t you still see the door open in that water thief quest?

That would be a neat critical failure effect for using laser weapons against metal armors (including power armor). The attacker takes damage from their own laser, or alternatively it redirects the laser to a random combatant between the target and attacker. Might even be able to visually...

He’s been pretty consistent on not wanting to remaster old games. He’s said this about Fallout 1 and 2 a couple of times, and he’s said it about Arena and Daggerfall too.

Take All button, push companions out of the way, trade more than 999 of something at a time, more unarmed attacks, change companion armor and combat tactics, friend or foe perk is now the default setting (I think), charisma isn’t quite as useless due to the companion limit. That’s just off the...

As I watch that gif I can still hear the whine the dog makes when you snap its neck. I think that’s part of what makes people feel worse for animals than for humans. Animals have no shame or dignity. They cry like babies when they die. It triggers an empathic response in humans.
