I don't wanna hijack the spotlight, but just for the record, should anyone need me for anything, I'm going to be clocked out on a ramshackle rocket tour of ill-omen for an indeterminate span of time, effective from about three months ago until (???). I'll still be keeping an eye on PMs and...

The assumption that the drills were regularly scheduled doesn't necessarily hold just because it's been known to happen that way in real life, though-- they could have been randomized to keep people on their toes, which ultimately would have ended up backfiring. There's also the aspect of deep...

To those who haven't read it, I strongly recommend the novel Earth Abides by George R. Stewart for a plausible account of how a group of post-apocalyptic survivors could develop a culture of tribal mysticism in a couple of generations. In a situation like the V13 exiles found themselves in, it...

Forgive me if I missed any relevant newspost(s) to the contrary, but wasn't that whole deal with porting in F3 characters part of a confirmed hoax? It seems there'd be too many hurdles to overcome between character generation processes, and scripting (and voicing) an entirely different opening...

It's in the Fallout 1 and 2 item description for the armor: "A self-contained suit of advanced technology armor. Powered by a micro-fusion reactor, with enough fuel to last a hundred years." There may be something about it on the holotapes at The Glow, too; I can't recall and I'm afraid I don't...

Actually, if memory serves, the microfusion packs used by the t51b were only slated to last for a century, and they were supposed to be the best they could do as of the war. As to the more advanced models, we don't know anything about their on-board power systems or their level of energy usage...

Oh, no, I meant that literally. I can't say either aren't missed. I quite enjoy most posters here, even a hefty portion of the ones who've ragequit or been banned, and those two in particular brought something special. Here's hoping they're both faring well, whether or not they come back.

The Romans waged BS to capture slaves and wealth. Spain built an empire from its lust for BS. Hitler shaped a battered Germany into a BS superpower. But BS... Hmmm. Somehow I forget that last little bit there. I'm sure it wasn't that important, anyway. At any rate, that is some pretty spiffy...

Or cripple the legs. Explosives are pretty good for doing this en mass. The promontory (and if you're excruciatingly careful or feeling lucky, Dead Wind Cavern) are two of the best places in the game for getting earnest use out of the Fat Man or Red Glare. On most attempts, none of the claws...

Or so they thought. There was this odd sentiment at the time that traditional PC gaming was dying, though I'm not sure how anyone in the industry could have actually bought into it, and as it turns out digital distribution and crowdfunding were destined to explode relatively soon and give that...

Voof took off for personal reasons, had some things to take care of. alec, in short, went looking for a change of climate, or to escape one. He usually comes back. I won't say either aren't missed. As Dope said, there are just too many people to list. We've been around for about as long as...

I'm glad Mr. Winkle got what he came for. It was a fair assessment, from an outsider's perspective. Here's hoping it doesn't attract any missionaries looking to show us the error of our ways.

@djmani, you're welcome to laugh. I get that sometimes, as I tend not to crush people outright the way a lot of the mods did back during the golden age you're pining for. Stop and take a look around, though-- plenty of people agree with you in spirit. It's just hard to do when you're waving your...

@djmani, your opinion is welcome here, but the chip-on-the-shoulder luchador act hasn't been de mode for close to a decade now. Strike one. Tone it down by a few orders of magnitude, please.

@Jebus tapdancing Christ on a crutch. I think I nearly broke my hip on the way in, what with all the piss and vinegar getting sprayed around. Locking this up to let some of the levels drain off.

@Battlecross, this was and is a thread about NMA itself, and was heretofore civil and impersonal. The behavior Walpknut describes is a legitimate problem we've seen repated ad nauseum throughout our history, and the fact that you so readily chose to see yourself in it and divert the thread to...

There's a major difference between being given an explanation in-game that you believe is inadequate and not being given one at all. You could argue that the real world itself is a chaotic place with much that is counterintive or unexplained, but there's still a basic logic permeating it all and...

A silver lining, for sure. And (as pointed out in the video), the amount of SPECIAL points you get at character creation isn't even enough to bump every stat to 5, so they're forcing you to prioritize this time, too. Of course, it's possible that you get to make further character design...

Steady as she goes, Herr Knut. You're good people.

The topic of whether or not Skills make an appearance in Fallout 4 (and if so, in what form) seems to have caused a lot of confusion on the internet at large. I figured we could use a space of our own to get things straight, theorize, fling poo at each other (gently, now, folks), and/or lament...
