    Thread 'Why Fallout: Dust Is My Canon New Vegas Ending'

    Hello NMA, it's been a while since I've posted something on here and figured I'd rectify that.

    I have recently fell into the rabbit hole of playing Fallout: Dust and falling in love with it's world, challenging gameplay, and the carefully crafted take on New Vegas' ending. While bleak and depressing, I have come to believe that Dust is a strong contender for what the West (or at the very least, the Mojave) could look like post-New Vegas.

    But first, we have to get the obvious out of the way.

    What is Fallout: Dust?
    Dust is a total...

    Also I agree that a super-genius Courier could play 5D chess with every faction in the Mojave and maneuver everything available to him perfectly as to never lose, and I assume from the way you talk about the Courier, but I personally like the idea of a flawed Courier. I think the themes of New Vegas lead to an ending where everyone's gamble ends in loss one way or another.

    Not everything in Dust is great, there's a bunch of stupid shit I dislike in it, but the concept in itself is really intriguing to me. Some things that are out of everyone's control such as the Tunnelers and Dust storms as well as a weaponized Cloud swallowing the land is very true to Fallout.

    Mad Men is the best show I've ever seen.

    too many great shows to pick one as the best but gun to my head id have to go with better call saul

    Better Call Saul is also fantastic, I genuinely like it more than Breaking Bad proper. Something about Mad Men is just so intimately perfect to me though, I genuinely couldn't stop watching it. Ran through 7 Seasons in less than a month with my busy schedule and all.

    So Kurtzman and Circus weren't satisfied ruining Picard, now they're gonna ruin Captain Pike and Spock some more. Cool.

    They can try but the truth is the lore in the series has always been convoluted and fucked up. I genuinely think they are trying but they have no clue.

    I am not even sure if they are trying Toront. The new series are not really helping with the lore problems in the timeline.
    Kurtzman and circus (heh) jumped onto Pike the moment he was well received. Pike series will conflict with original series.

    Been watching The Orville and kinda loving it.

    Feels a little too derivative of TNG sometimes. It needs to be more its own thing.
    Also, kind of lost respect to McFarlane because of current Hollywood debacle about humor.

    I don’t mind the clear-cut homage to Star Trek with this show. It just feels nice to me to have Star Trek on TV again, even if sadly they had to make a carbon clone as the actual franchise is being Kurtzman’d.

    True. I also miss what Star Trek used to be.
    I don't mind a more serialized version for a change, perhaps with mini story arcs like on Enterprise, but not what it has become now and will not return from.
    Will be interesting to see how long the Orville will continue.

    Fallout fixt also fixed some endings. I think one was bugged and another had its quest removed making two endings impossible to get without fallout fixt. Dont know if et tu keeps that or naw

    Ah yes you're right. I haven't gotten there yet, but I'll see when I do. So far I've been taking my time and just enjoying it this game all over again

    Yeah the endings is a killer for me. Personally I'd prefer to just have a patched F1 with no additions barring those that make the good endings possible.

    Frontier genuinely made me appreciate New California more. I still don't like a lot (I mean a LOT) of story choices, but man. Holy shit lol.

    nah NC is still bad

    No doubt about it, it's very bad. I'm mostly referring to the dev team and not only how they handled criticism, but also the role playing elements and such they had in their mod. Even if the writing was awful. I don't like the mod's story anymore than I did originally, but I respect it a bit more as a fan project now.

    Kinda wanna write a Fallout story just for the hell of it.

    I would recommend DMing a tabletop campaign. It's the absolute best way to do your Fallout fanfiction.

    I have no idea about pen and paper stuff. I’ve always wanted to get into it, but never got the chance. I do like writing however
