What could've replaced intelligent deathclaws

Following the path of Tagaziel I see.

 

I don't. Sometimes the answers seem to be made up on the fly. I saw Centaurs were just brushed over in the latest ' Bible ' part 2. No mention of floaters, so I guess they developed from those floaty turds some people do. The Centaurs in FO3 were a joke, just lobbed in for the sake of it. If you don't want to waste ammo just get off.

I got told he was very generous that Chris Have a loan guy.

 

The Fallout Bible is useful for insight into what the developers were thinking while developing the first two games, but not so much as a literal Bible of Fallout lore.

 

You are so irreverent, toe painting and hairy deathclaws lol.

Well yeah. I don't take it all too seriously, after all, It's only a game.

 

I was going to do a pic. Apprentice lol, cheeky fuckers.

 

I think I'm in a middle-ground camp compared ot a lot of people when it come to talking deathclaws. I really liked them in Fallout 2 (and for that matter I liked the talking molerats, though wish a bit mroe had been done with them). They're weird but not too weird, they feel logical to me, they have interesting characters. It's certainly not a concept that would be out of place in a 50s B-movie. I think it's a cool idea.

But what I do not like is the idea of them expanding into the wider world. This would just feel a faint bit ridiculous to me, to have these talking chameleons integrated into polite society, and would just make everything they touch feel unserious. And if they continue, it starts to verge into furry territory.

I also really like the idea of one offs in the Fallout world - it's such an expansive world where so much insane shit has happened pre and post War that there are a lot of things localized to only one region or location, that end up being dead ends, shadows and legends that exist for only a moment before passing into folklore. I think that's really neat. Plus it adds an additional twinge of tragedy to them.

But take what I say with a grain of salt, because I also like the talking molerats in Klamath and Gecko. My main problem with them is that they didn't do enough with them.

 

Well if they are a real, true people - one with a real history that is able to socially reproduce their way of life - then in some measure they must cease to be this oddball flash in the pan, they become a people, they become a part of history.

Moreover, if they become a permanent fixture, the "Wow" factor sort of wears off, with just leaves us with the silliness. And I don't think they would really add much to the setting, other than "Remember talking deathclaws??"

Finally, from a lore perspective, Talking Deathclaws were explicitly created with FEV, and things created with FEV really should be sterile.

 

Thread reminds me why I rarely play Fallout 2.

 

Bringing Life To The Mojave Redux

 

I know from experience what it's like to have to conform a mesh to an existing game skeleton. Is that what they did?
