As I said elsewhere, I actually kind of like the idea of Power Armor as a customizable hot rod. But the implementation here is as clumsy as you'd expect from Bethesda, and doesn't make up for all of the other crippling flaws in this game.

Don't do it.

I would prefer literally any other ending becomes canon, even a Legion victory, as opposed to the NCR. I just think the NCR has been done to death at this point, and I'd rather see new societies forming rather than simply see the Bear Flag raised over the entire North American continent... A...

He could have done that for any number of reasons, though - I'm guessing he wanted to bed Tandi, so he talked the Raiders into letting her go. Maybe he took on the Radscorpions because he was a cocky bastard and wanted a thrill, and maybe he was smart enough to just use explosives to seal off...

Turkey Could Cut Off Islamic State's Supply Lines: So Why Doesn't It?

I think it's possibly to find a balance between the constraints of the narrative and player freedom to define the character. Perhaps the early Fallouts leaned a bit too much on the side of player freedom, but this also establishes a precedent - people expect a game called Fallout to allow you a...

Previous games definitely gave you a lot more latitude to define your character's background: Fallout 1: You come from a Vault (every other chracteristic is up to you to decide) Fallout 2: You come from Arroyo (but have the freedom to design your character however you want) Fallout 3: You come...

Enough with the dogs already.

I think so. Not just because of the concrete evidence (i.e. the Vault Dweller memoirs), but because his character build is representative of the Fallout roleplaying experience: a game where it is possible to create a diplomatic character who solves conflict primarily through negotiation, rather...

First of all, let me just say that is an excellent and persuasive analysis of the game. Probably one of the best pieces I've read on New Vegas and on the Fallout series in general. I especially liked your take on Tandi, and irony of what Shady Sands has become. I agree that letting go of the...

Then you're doing it wrong, I don't know what to tell ya

I've beaten it on Very Hard/Hardcore, but I also dislike the bullet sponge effect, so I usually play it on Normal/Hardcore. I also have the game on console, so sadly I can't just download the JE Sawyer Mod. That said, I have no problem taking down even the toughest enemies. You just have to...

Fabricati Diem, Punkus *blows their heads off with .44 Magnum Revolver*

Here's my current Courier: Monique Jackson Starting SPECIAL: S: 4 P: 5 E: 4 C: 8 I: 6 A: 6 L: 7 Tag! Skills: Speech, Barter, Guns Traits: Skilled, Good Natured Notable Perks: Black Widow, Grunt Good Karma Backstory: Monique's past is quite vague, but she's always been a wanderer. Over the last...

I like New Vegas so much, I'm not even buying Fallout 4, I'm just replaying New Vegas for the umpteenth time

While you are clearly well-intentioned, I have to echo the other comments here and say that this is hopelessly naive. Bethesda cares about cold, hard cash, and if they can get that by rehashing a formula that's proven to earn them money then they will do that, rather then spending more time and...

I always imagined it as several decades of relatively "Cold" war (with plenty of espionage, saber rattling, proxy conflicts, etc) followed by a very short Falklands style "Hot" war ending with the bombs.

What the jumping monkey fuck With lore like that, you have the potential to make something as awesome as Planescape: Torment But instead we get Skyrim....

That is one of the best analogies I've seen for Fallout 4.

I don't think it's your fault, it's more like why do these characters seem to have the HP of fully power armored BOS Paladins? Are they synths? Do you need to empty 10 clips to kill normal human characters in this game? But in any case, with an immortal companion I imagine you can just take...
