Fallout talk

Patrolling the mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.

Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a more varied range of default NPC responses.

OT: Wait, that was on topic. It is Fallout related!

Not retarded: Better. I'm gonna buy the first two Fallouts as soon as I get some spare money, because I've sunk a collective playtime of nearly 5 days into New Vegas and not much less into Fallout 3. I can't get enough. On one character, I completely ran out of side quests and shit so now I just arrange bodies into vaguely humourous positions, just for an excuse to keep playing the game. I propped Benny's decapitated corpse up on Caesar's throne and then stuck his head under the crook of his arm, like a little child. Then I made it look like one of the Legion Mongrels was administering enthusiastic fellatio on him. It was sick but Goddamnit it looked fucking funny.

I can't wait for more Fallout, I can't wait to buy the DLCs for New Vegas, I can't wait to get re-immersed into America's beautifully anachronistic apocalyptia again.

In short, I fucking love Fallout. Thank you, Bethesda.

Bethesda??

Bear with me :L

Like I said, I haven't played the originals yet. So although I thank Interplay for the creation of the original IP (and, to a certain extent, Black Isle for the sequel), I can only thank Bethesda for the ones I've actually sampled

Well, Obsidian did New Vegas. Not Betheseda.

I think he means he's thanking Bethesda for reviving the series altogether. New Vegas wouldn't exist if Bethesda didn't revive the series in the first place.

I tried fallout 2 for about 2 hours and got my face stomped repeatedly.

That sounds familiar. I've played all of Fallout 1 and enjoyed it, but couldn't summon the will to play past the first town of the sequel. That opening with the temple was just terrible and the first gun you get is pretty much useless. I don't play Fallout to run around with throwing spears, dammit!

*deep breaths*

Anyway, I suggest playing Fallout 1. The actual plot starts much more quickly and, more importantly, you're actually given a decent gun.

...

Heard some more people got attacked last night.

Shouldn't you be banging rocks together?

Why don't you go bother the Brotherhood or something?

Did you know that irradiated cats have 18 half-lives?

Lies Schrodinger's cat is dead.

On topic GOG.com has the original games for 5.99 ea. They had all of them for like 10$ a few weeks back but deals come and go like the wind.

Fallout 1 should have had a stricter time limit and should have made it take longer to do the "good" version of the quest, but shouldn't have had the game end if you happened to fail your primary quest. It's the only thing that kept it from being the perfect example of how to competently do morality and long term consequences in a game.

I really need to play through Fallout: New Vegas, considering I have downloaded all 3 DLC, yet haven't even played 1...

EDIT: I have only played Fallout 3 and New Vegas. Is it worth buying Fallout off Steam? You know, the one that was released in 1997. Is it a fun game to play? How different is it from the ones I have played?

 

[FalloutJack]

A Fallout topic about anything Fallout, eh? Nice.

So...in whichever Fallout game, old or new, what was your favorite fight and/or kill?

 

[sergnb]

The point is as the title says to talk about anything Fallout. There is no specific topic to talk about so feel free to say anything.

At first I read that as "the point is to talk like we were in a fallout game". I was dissapointed.

On the other hand, this is a pretty interesting topic.

*crickets*

*crickets*

So... yeah... that slow mo replay kills the inmersion... yeah... and the zoom in chat too...... hmm... and the pc version is bad and stuff... crashes...? anything else?

New vegas is comedic genius.

Also, in Vegas, you can turn the slow mo stuff off.

The Fallout 2 RNG is bullshit.
That is all.

And yet it's still the best Fallout IMO; though I am no fan of Fallout 3.

I would probably have to say storming the Cathedral in Fallout. Plus the hall of terror right before the Master. Favorite kill, though... I'd have to go with the Overseer at the very end of Fallout.

Even though New Vegas has better stuff, I still liked Fallout 3 better. The reason was because the idea of the Fallout series was that it was a nuclear apocalypse. In Fallout 3, you could spend most of your time exploring empty wastes, bombed neighborhoods, and creepy subway tunnels. You could go for over an hour before spotting another living thing (and even then it's a 5% chance that the living thing feels like not killing you). Fallout 3 gives the impression that all of society has completely stopped giving a shit and the only humans left alive are assholes, more tolerable assholes, and murderous psychopaths. Fallout New Vegas felt like I was playing an old west game with the occasional laser rifle.

Thank you Wild Wasteland.

It's pretty much a completely different game. It's turn based and your skills have a much greater impact on the game than 3 or Vegas. Many different ways to play it but if you don't like isometric style gameplay, you probably won't like it. I recommend getting it off of Good Old Games though, it's cheaper and it's DRM-free.

Edit: Oh yeah, and the Steam version isn't optimized for Windows. You'll still have to do some fixing in order for it work with your computer. GOG version on the other hand works up to Windows 7.

I was playing Fallout 3 wandering through interior D.C. and out of nowhere a whole shit load of super mutants and Brotherhood come out of damn nowhere. The fight was epic and shit was exploding everywhere. I should have sworn the entire thing was entirely scripted.

Personally, I haven't made it very far. When I have a 44% chance to hit and I miss 10, (yes I counted) 10 fucking times in a row I call bullshit and give up.

 

[Pinkamena]

Why the fuck would they release New Vegas when it's unplayable?

The Heavy Incinerator + high Big Guns + Pyromaniac perk = BEST GODDAMN WEAPON EVER
