Ok, well I've given up. More batshit stupid quests in FO4, more bang bang you're dead, more looting, more pointless dialogue... Anyway, you know what I mean. So, I thought I'd go back to NV before working my way back in time to FO1. My question is, what's my best approach in terms of...

The thing is, I wouldn't mind so much adjusting my standards if there was a game out there able to offer me the kind of RPG experience I'm after. If that was the case, I would abandon the now streamlined franchises and turn to those other offerings. And there just isn't. I agree that indeed...

No retrocompatibility on PS4. Yes, there is Playstation Plus which is supposed to be a catalogue of PS3 games emulated for the PS4. But the catalogue isn't that awesome. (This is the US one, although I myself am in the UK, where I don't even know if the service is available at all). I'm also...

I agree. Anything that stays on the same level as Skyrim from a technical perspective is alright in my book, to be honest (in terms of general quality and details). I don't need super detailed faces with creases and hair growing in real time that you can see when you zoom in, I need choices.

Yeah, I think I reloaded seven times in the combat zone. Trying to sneak, disguise myself, leave companion at the door in case they were just allergic to wet dogs... I like the point about cut content, since one of the early sidequests, Order Up, pretty much delivered on what I expect to be a...

Indeed. I always feel it's unfair to compare the moral dimension of any RPGs to Planescape. I played it a lot, but mainly it was my main roleplaying setting for years, and it does an incredible job at having nuances of grey. Characters such as the Lady of Pain, Rowan Darkwood or A'kin are...

1. Weapon/armor modding. First, for the symbol, as it's one of the rare cases where I feel Bethesda have used something that was in NV, and improved it. Note that I'm only talking about modding of weapons and armors. The rest of the craft-driven stuff (settlement building) is quite fun at the...

I don't think so. You might be referring to another leak from a previous employee, someone who had said stuff like "You won't be able to play a female character". Some things were right, some were wrong, and I remember that one getting quite a lot of flak. But I could be wrong.

So, as I mentioned in my shortish review of FO4 which served as my first post here, various glitches have forced me to start from scratch for the second time. I could use the expression "I had to reroll", but since we're not really creating any kind of character, nor are we in an actual RPG, no...

Well, for what it's worth, I've been loving it here for about a year as a lurker, and I'm now enjoying posting. (Whether others enjoy said posting is vastly irrelevant, I will cling to my first amendment rights like a bloatfly larva). The external views are a very unfair misrepresentation of...

Ah, but that's nice since it might mean the support for it does exist...

My post was missing a key couple of characters. REplay the older games would have been more like it - I've been through FO1 and FO2 countless times (alhtough I never played Tactics), so yeah I got the reference to the Vats, just didn't get it was an actual subforum. I have a feeling I'm not...

Thanks for that. Yeah, when I read the rules I saw the Vats mentioned, I just hadn't looked through the forum, so I didn't realise it actually referred to a section, I thought it was just a metaphor for deletion. Got it now. I'll definitely drop by on the rest, especially since my...

I must admit, as a newcomer I'm struggling a bit to understand what each section of the forum is. So far I'm restricting myself to the obviously safe parts. I think I get what "The Order" may be, no idea about the Vats... Is there some kind of post explaining it all somewhere, and that I would...

"Can I craft ammunition from junk components ?" (This is another one of my bugbears. You're in a world where you have to fight all the time, yet it's more important to craft a TV and an armchair than being able to craft your own ammo supply)

It's just another scientific experiment. Like the ones happening in the vaults. "What would happen to a human being, if once out of the vault he was constantly exposed to violence he just cannot avoid".

It could be that (dealing a certain amount of damage yourself), that would explain the difference that I seem to see. Sometimes I get the XP, sometimes I don't. At some point I thought it was a matter of companion identity (Dogmeat seemed to grant me XP more than Piper), but I just couldn't...

Hear, hear. I had the same problem with Preston. Just mentioning settlements in trouble. I really, really, really wanted to say: "Well, sucks to be them. But I've got my settlement here, I'm comfy. I saved you because I got something out of it, but I honestly don't care about some farmers at...

Yes ! I made that comment recently about FO4. For example, every single time I visit a merchant, I buy their entire stock of 44 ammo. You'd think they'd take that as a hint to 'order some more' and stock up, but no. I know technically I'm not the only one using the shops, but regardless of...

"Can I sarcastic?" Oh crap, yes, yes I can. Thanks Toddy. "Can I betray or double cross anyone I do some questwork for?"
