This is true, as this is a humor thread. Obsidian couldn't work miracles in the time they had with what they were given to work with, and objectively speaking, Obsidian (and NV) are far from perfect anyway. Feel free to seek out the analagous NV thread if you have something to add there.

That'd be a good choice, but I think MCA has indicated on his social media that he's a little more comfortable closer to the independent end of the circuit right now. Then again, we all know how industry politics are, and MCA's always had a weakness for Fallout. There's really no reason to...

If we're getting technical, it's not highly likely that any sort of media encouraging rebelliousness in the youth would have been approved for and included in the archives of a vault whose primary focuses were studying authoritarianism and maintaining indefinite stability. So the Tunnel Snakes...

True, but there's nothing to say that post-cryogenic syndrome is a universal effect of the process, just a danger. A Project Safehouse experiment designed for long-term cryogenic storage (provided it was actually designed to work) is probably more likely to have adequate decanting and revival...

Well... if your wife and child never made it into the vault, they were never *of* Vault 111 to begin with, no? And besides, to you, waking up in cryo (which I'm going to say is a 95% lock, those Kotaku leaks looking to have been real at this point and logic backing them up), if everyone else is...

Let's not, please. The comment was just to acknowledge and dipel a rumor that gained traction after the teaser trailer that you'd be stuck with a white male static protagonist. Not sure how something like that would have taken root in the first place-- Bethesda sandboxes are all about giving the...

Aye. I was constantly moving between places without connectivity and/or having computers explode back then so I'm no authoritative witness, but the last time I remember seeing it it was perpetually under construction, and progress was slow. This is the first time I've ever seen anyone mention it...

Seems like I'm playing contrarian to you a lot tonight (it's not intentional, I pinky promise), but I'm actually all for this and I wish more companies would do it. Big studios, and especially big publishers, don't like taking risks, and cult status doesn't necessarily translate into hard money...

Oh, man, you're talking about the waaaaay back when. I'm sure there are those here who remember it, but I don't recall ever hearing anything about its fate. One day, it just... wasn't. Happens a lot with fan projects like that.

There seems to be some conflation of style with quality here. F4 looks a lot less rough, some have said more "cartoonish," which is right on the mark. In terms of eye for detail, some of NV's enbs and texture packs could also be argued to beat what we've seen of vanilla F4 in certain aspects...

I assumed the alien hatred was just sort of a silent constant at this point, to be honest. I'm not going to waste energy griping about it until we actually see some evidence of their inclusion. Not with so much else to gripe about :wink:

It's a solid (if not sure) bet the kid survives. Possibly your spouse, too, but almost certainly the kid. They probably wouldn't have gone to the trouble of generating it according to the genetics of the two customizable parents unless you were going to see it again. My guess is you get...

Fallout's trajectory to date continues to be a fascinating case study. It's basically become an off-key homage to the world of the originals at this point, a sort of infinite interactive fanfic generator. I'm always going to mourn the writing and the atmosphere we've lost, but I'd be lying if I...

All serviceable options, though no one but no one is going to be happy if it turns out your character is a synth. If they're not looking to Shyamalan us, cryogenics or some form of similar preservation would be the most likely possibility. We've already seen the technology in use in Vault 112...

The vertibirds are probably the least of our worries. I can't even remember whether it was F2 or F3 that established they weren't rolled out until after the war, but there are plenty of handwaves available here-- maybe the models we see aren't quite the same designation or level of...

Please don't. We'd all be legally liable now that you've said that. Plus, you'd probably have to kill off Neil Degrasse Tyson and Betty White while leaving alive a bunch of annoying teenage Johnny-Come-Latelies with flavor-of-the-week fandom blogs. Where's the net gain there?

Pinkolik was talking specifically about Fallout 1, so the options are a bit more limited there. In general though, anytime you say "gauss" I'm already on board with whatever you're planning. My favorite method for Deathclaw problem solving is still and always going to be Implant GRX and the...

It would probably help to use Plasma, too. The way Mama D likes to close distance, laser's range advantage is only going to matter for one, two turns tops. If focusing plasma fire on the eyes doesn't do it, it's probably best to just come back with better armor or a higher level. For the...

As said above, Honest Hearts, even moreso than any of the others, stands on its own. It gets some backstory in Lonesome Road, but nothing critical, and there's nothing in any of the others you need to know heading in. I know you said you're in it for the story, though, so be warned that it's...

Mrrrmmm... the only thing I can remember that even REMOTELY fits the bill was an early 90s thing called The Pirates of Dark Water. There was an adventurous female secondary protagonist, IIRC, and the main character was a rather feminine-*looking* ponytailed blonde guy named Ren. The villain was...
