    Fallout 4 is not "Skyrim with guns."

    It was less egregious in Morrowind because you needed to prove your skills. In Skyrim, a Shout, a basic Ward spell and using 2 staves are all you require to become Arch-Mage. They then say the position is for politics, well sure, but you never actually do any of that. Like, say, speaking to the...

    Wasted Potential

    I still think it is nice that you don't have to go to Preston and thus start the Minutemen questline, as well as being forced to allow squatters in your old home, get PA and listen to Granny Psychic.

    The jet pack...

    Legendary robots do explode on death, as I learned to my sorrow once while in close quarters with a Protectron.

    Wasted Potential

    Doesn't stop you from subsequently having a hot gay threesome with Preston and Deacon if you want to. So there's that at least. Right?

    Wasted Potential

    What WAS their plan anyway? They all go on about ''mankind, redefined'' and such but their plan seems to be Step 1: make synths, super mutants and gorillas Step 2: ??? Step 3: Utopia! Combined with how wasteful most of their divisions are (the existence of so many Muties in the wilds defies...

    The jet pack...

    I guess, but my Gauss Rifle now 4-shots Mirelurk Queens, and Behemoths are barely even target practice thanks to how braindead their AI seems to be. Hekc, I even killed Swan (the level 50 one in central Boston) whe I was level 18 or something. A few Bottlecap Mines and running around the nearby...

    Those moments when you wish you were in a Black Isle (or Obsidian) game... [Spoilers]

    The INT check was (ironically, given that Repair is gone) for repairing an item you can interact with. I'm not even sure the game would be capable of supporting SPECIAL/perk checks in dialog at this game. I fear it is hard coded to only have CHA checks, but maybe I'm wrong. Doing quest mods is...

    What does NMA think about The Witcher 3?

    (un)Holy necromancy, batman! Anyway, while I greatly enjoyed TW3, it has some pretty big flaws that keep me from seeing it as a nigh on perfect game like so many have. The combat isn't very good. Quen slash dodge. Here's 90% of what you do. Parrying is only useful against lone humans, all...

    Wasted Potential

    ''SJW Sawyer caved''? Sure, that's totally what happened. Who needs facts when you have confirmation bias, right? You also do realize Avellone is primarily a writer, right? He didn't ''make most'' of anything. That's not how game design works.

    Wasted Potential

    Water pumps can be built on dirt, anywhere. They provide little water however. Water purifiers must be placed in water, and powered. The big one gives you far more water than your settlement will ever need, too.

    Paris attacks - ongoing

    Nazi science in general was very iffy. They made good (if often overengineered) weapons systems, but other than that they certainly didn't have a huge leg up over their foes, quite the contrary towards the end of the war. Hell, even their technological breakthroughs, such as the rocket engine...

    So, can we talk about what Fallout 4 does well?

    Yeah, they really mucked that one up. Especially killing all the other Vault dwellers. Why just have one backup? And why not integrate these people into the Institute proper? They were all from a well-off suburban district, some of them may have had valuable technical/scientific skills on top of...

    Bethesda's Lore Recons

    I'd say that's more of an easter egg than anythng, really, given that only Nick seems to even see him. Nothing to worry about unless bethesda starts doing a Mysterious Stranger DLC or something.

    Zero Punctuation Review: Fallout 4 (Hilarious and On Point)

    Once you have Local leader, run up to a slave, errr settler in Build mode and you can send them to a settlement as Provisioner. Which means that what's stored in the workshops in settlement A can be usable in settlement B, as far as I get it. They will visibly start walking around with a pack...

    Bethesda's Lore Recons

    That's one of my peeves with the Fallout canon as a whole, actually. The West Coast has spawned the BoS, various major cities like the Hub and New Reno, the NCR, the Legion, the Master's army, and a motley crew of minor factions but still relatively advanced factions such as the Shi, the...

    So, can we talk about what Fallout 4 does well?

    To be fair, they were just surprise frozen minutes after the apocalypse for no apparent reason, then suddenly some joker in a hazmat suit along with a sinister looking chap packing a magnum demands they hand over their baby. I'm pretty sure any parent is going to be concerned, or even panic in...

    It all comes tumbling down, tumbling down.

    Depends what you're looking for, really. I fully admit than Dungeons and Dragon's ruleset is way deeper than what Dragon Age offers, but on the other hand I dislike Vancian magic, hate magical protections that require specific spells to counter, hate the save or die gimmicks, hate THAC0 and hate...

    Bethesda's Lore Recons

    True, but let's be honest, even back the original games the world of Fallout was never stingy with its conveniently placed supplies. The seeting always had an overabundance of weapons, ammo and stimpack considering the whole ''apocalypse'' thing.

    Bethesda's Lore Recons

    True. My beef is more akin to ''why in the blazes would you even bother going there?'' but a numerous group of heavily armed, armored and motivated BoS soldiers is nothing to scoff at. The only thing that can pose a credible threat to them are a human faction more numerous than them, and from...

    It all comes tumbling down, tumbling down.

    That's fine, but personally I don't want to have to differenciate between the shitposting and the serious threads all the time. I don't find it cool to be almost constantly negative for the sheer lulz of it. And I do feel that some posters there actually do have an intense hatred of, if not...
