Isn't that what J.E. Sawyer planned for Van Buren? The reasoning is to make like Mad Max 2.
Personally, I'm in favor of buffing Melee and Unarmed but I think that there are better ways to do it. I never really got into Energy Weapons. I do sometimes use them but I still prefer Guns. I don't understand the whole Small Guns, Big Guns, and Energy Weapon divide. In FO1 when I got the Gatling Laser, I was confused whether it was an Energy Weapon or a Big Gun.
Yes I do. Much easier to get rich in 1,2 & NV than it is in 3 or 4 imo.
Well if so that's a mark in Fallout 3's favor.
Yeah. Fallout 3 also handles the repair skill better than NV imo. But it was probably best utilized in fallout 2.
I would like Fallout 3's style setting ONLY if it was set soon after the Great War.
Yeah. And the capital wasteland has no history at all. That's one of the biggest problems I have with the game. We have a game where the bombs dropped and then nothing happened for 200 years.
They're just in stasis...
It could potentially be argued that robots in New Vegas don't look too different to there original forms.
Every Fallout game has a lot of faulty mechanics. 1 and 2 allowed you to inject enemies with hundreds of Super Stimpaks and then watch them die slowly as they all wear off.
If this rewrite is assuming that Fallout 3 never happened, Fire Ants don't need to be explained, since this would be the first game they appeared in.
Honestly, the Gauss Riffle just looks like a slightly graphically updated version of the classic one. You just need to replace the Ammo-Type and its settled.
Here you go
If you fail there's a chance it blows up?
More like if you fail it continues beeping and you got to high tail it outta there.
It should blow up... damn dangerous messing with mines.
Everybody knows why they had to place Power Armor Training and it is a big part of the story. I like the idea of being able to just take a Power Armor like in FO1 instead of buddy-buddying with the right people. I think adding this http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Technical_manual would be a nice compromised. I would have it give the Power Armor Training but make it hard to find. What I have a bigger issue with is the faction armor system. It was originally going to be tied to the Deception skill in Van Buren. First thing that needs fixing is how companions react to being told carry faction armor. Maybe find a way to remove faction affiliation from armor using spray paint or something.
The only real reason they had to was because Bethesda did it.
Here is a mod that adds a manual to Mick and Ralph's:
It is because of how the loot system works in the newer Fallout titles where the enemies must leave their weapon and armor in their bodies. It is too easy to get a Power Armor early on.
Most Power Armor is either with The Brotherhood or The Enclave Remnants, and if your able to kill a Brotherhood Soldier in Power Armor, before even getting your first suit, you kinda earned that Power Armor.
Sierra Madre Vending Machines are actually highly-advanced pieces of technology, which function by turning Sierra Madre chips in to food.
Perhaps we can assume Sierra Madre also have Food synthesizer like Vault City, since it's unlikely Sinclair was planned to let his dear Vera starve to death...
I wanted to introduce a mechanic that rewards preventative maintenance. It could be balanced by making it cheaper than repairing using a Weapon Repair Kit.
None of the Fallout titles thinks so.
FO:NV had a lot of pre-war food items from FO3 but one of NPCs makes fun of that. This is part of FO3 corrupting the expectations of the series thus Obsidian had to meet new fans half-way.
Considering that old games don't get advertised anymore, people still talking about it generally means that it has something good about it. At the very least, it weeds out those who photoshop Todd Howard's face into an image of Jesus to deify him as if he created Fallout.
BTW: that was from a the Making of Fallout 3 video.
You think I'm making a big deal about FO3 turning into the first Fallout game. Even Google think that. Google Fallout 1.
