@@OhNoTheFace what is an “actual fallout story”

I agree. It's hard for me to get into fallout 4 because of protagonist speaking. Literally everything else is solid tho.

It's not the voice protagonist that's holding it back. It's the Main writer and designer Emil Pagliarulo.

Nah all the sarcastic and silver shroud dialogues is only possible with voiced protagonist. Without it, the sarcastic lines just fall flat... One reason why the funny lines in Starfield ain't as funny

As for story length if you focus on the main quest for f3 and f4 you can be done in 10 hours or less so that's not much of a complaint.

@@KindofBradAtThis mate did you fr just say fo4 looks like it came out this year?.. cmon man don’t be dishonest. It was literally panned at launch for outdated graphics and gameplay. Not sure how old you are but I remember when that first trailer dropped and everyone was like ‘wtf is this? Pixar playdoh adventures??’ Have you seen super mutants, ghouls and any item of clothing in game?.. everything looks like it’s made of cake. Nothing looks real. That’s not an art choice it’s just bad. Some things in game look really good, some look laughably bad. Do you seriously not remember everyone comparing Witcher 3 and Arkham knight to fo4? Arkham knight looks like it came out this year, fo4 looks like it came out in 2009. But Bethesda games have always had bad graphics. That was never their appeal (mods came in clutch for that). The gunplay of fo4 is just bad. It’s bad gunplay. Yes, it’s better than fo3, but obviously it is. Fo3 has some of the worst shooting in any FPS. Fo4 has marginally better shooting and relies so heavily on it for some crazy reason. A kick in the face is ‘better’ than a kick in the nuts, but neither are great. Far cry 2, a game from nearly 10 years prior to fo4, has better shooting. Fo4 has hitscan, ugly af ridiculous left hand weapons, no proper recoil or ballistic based projectile bullets. It fails as a competent shooter. And again, don’t be dishonest, fallout 4 is a straight up looter shooter. It’s not an RPG. Leveling up doesn’t make a game an RPG. Every location is a shooting gallery of bullet sponge enemies with nothing interesting to reward the player. Oh, a gun that’s exactly the same as every other version of said gun but it has a funny name and number go up? Wow, great. 11 unique items in fo4.. how insane is that. Bethesdas ethos for progression is just ‘number go up’. That’s boring. Give me a unique unique.

@@Yan-tz9pn TL;DR

Oh yeah, absolutely. FNV got them big ideas and cool stories and settings galore, but Fallout 4 simply has the best gameplay hands down. It also has more gameplay mechanics, so no wonder it’s been a great modding base. I think that fallout 4 fails on a story and social commentary thing, because generally it’s just “nukes bad look at the Americans being scared of the color red” while NV has... I mean the main two factions are literally depictions of a flawed liberal democracy (NCR) and a fascist empire (Legion) and boy does it do a lot with the two. It also has Mr. House, which is a whole bag of worms. I’ll always prefer NV, that’s how it be, but fallout 4 just has the gameplay and mechanics. Modders get a playground. I could never finish fallout 3, idk what it’s like but I’ve heard it’s surprisingly linear

Fallout 3 is the best fnv story is ass

Fallout 3 does a lot better than New vegas, World building/environment, some of the most iconic locations in the series like republic of dave, andale, arefu, tenpenny tower, oasis, evergreen mills, the metro tunnels, rivet city, to name a few. New vegas world can be quite barren in contrast. But it could Be considered more of an rpg. They both do what they do excellently well, so your preference will come down to what it is you look for in a fallout game.

You mean gunplay and loot FO4's RPG mechanics are much worse than FO3 and FNV. Fallout is supposed to be a RPG first and foremost and FO4 is definitely the worst in that aspect. I would like this game way more if it were a spin off game, tbh.

@@ColinAYB id say fnv and three were better graphics due only to how dark and gritty it made things feel. i remember being scared in both but never once in 4. i mean i can see them cleaning up their cities but the entire wasteland? idk it all just seemed to clean to me. also the whole not being able to be evil was annoying, at most you could be an asshole where in 3 you can wipe out an entire town or use the ghouls to wreak havoc on tenpenny tower. will say though no iron sights in 3 really irks me haha.

I played 4 before ever even thinking about new vegas and I still hated it, without mods its just mediocre

@joshmiller9783 Oh I agree, when I say better I'm talking about the literal resolution and graphical fidelity. Aesthetically speaking 3 and New Vegas are a lot more in line with the older games and fit the setting better imo. I don't think 4 looks super clean, per se, I think it's more that they focused on using such ridiculously bright colors for the base of the textures before adding whatever weathering or rust on top of it. Either way I agree it doesn't look great, though.

I set up all the beds in the middle of the street and never went back bc fuck those mfs I wanted New Vegas 2. Stupid voiced protagonist I want good writing

What sucks ever worse than that is you really aren't choosing anything at all, except 3 options to the exact same outcome and 1 persuade option if you're lucky. It's incredibly lazy and if the voiced protagonist was really the reason for that then wow what a dumb choice. They actually think we want to hear a guy's voice rather than have the fleshed out experience we've come to expect from Fallout.

@@TheMightyGoldenWest its just lazy writing. There's no reason why voice would affect the dialogue.

@@TheMightyGoldenWest The mass effect style dialogue options & the voiced PT honestly was a huge turn-off. It doesn't matter how I make my character, I'm stuck sounding like the same generic Boston white guy w/ a son to worry about. Part of the joy of all the other fallouts was getting to decide who your character was through actions you took in-game, and while that's still possible in FO4, you don't get to do it with the same freedom you had in FO3 & FONV. You are *ALWAYS* someone who lived pre-war, you're always someone who got married & had a kid, and you're always someone who got into a vault. Yes, the same is true for FO3, you are born as a vault dweller, and the same is true for FO1. But, you still have total freedom over who your character *IS*. You aren't born married to another character or with the voice of a wisened old man or a shrill youthful fiend, details that regularly ruin my immersion while playing FO4 as a specific kind of character. In FO4, it doesn't matter if I'm trying to play my character as a junkie. I will always sound like a perfectly average person from boston, with the same voice every playthrough unless I play a female character, even then I'm locked into the same problem but for the opposite sex. It's frustrating. I know how appealing voiced PTs are ordinarily but FO games have a history of a voiceless PT. For me at least, it serves to let me better roleplay in my roleplaying game.

It screws over modders trying to make quests and removes a ton of possible content sense it all has to be voiced

You probably play a console version of New Vegas, it's a lot more stable. It's how I first played it too, but on PC the Viva New Vegas mod list is a must, otherwise alt-tabbing breaks the game and it being limited to 2GB of RAM causes crashes after playing for too long.

My man bro was trippin the whole video

I've probably put 4k hours in and haven't found everything

what are those reasons? Better shooting? Play a fps instead no bullet spongy enemies, crafting and base building? Play any survival gmae on steam, the story was trash and not "mind shattering" at all, it was a betrayal of the "war never changes" themes from the old games and the idea of the synths is so stupid , it couldnt even exist in the primitive version of fallout that bethesda has created as there are no microchips. i cant be immersed in fallout 4, everything looks so goofy, the graphics are ugly and too colorfull and cartoonish, enemies are bulletspongies especially the legendary, you spent too much time picking up crap from the ground and upgrading your weapons, in the old games a hunting rifle was a hunting rifle it wasnt a endlessly upgrade piece of crap that could take down deathclaws, the power armor was powerfull and a late game thing, you didnt get it from the start but you also had to upgrade it, fallout 4 is just stupid and badly designed.

​​@@KindofBradAtThis I started a new game and just reached level 10 by the time I got to that power armor. The first place I teleported after heading to the Sanctuary Red Rocket station to repair the armor after being assulted by the Enclave with my best weapon being the double barrel shotgun. The first place I teleported to. I was like: Why am I on fire? I realized I was being assaulted by an Enclave Hellfire soldier with a Heavy Incinerator and 3 Enclave officers with plasma pistols. Keep in mind that I was only armed with a low-upgraded shotgun, the 10mm pistol, pipe guns, and a bladed tire iron and somehow killed them and survived. When I got to the Enclave Field Camp, I bombarded them with the piggy bank launcher. I am dreading those damn assault robots. Or those robots with a damn machine guns that can kill you in second outside power armor. To be fair, I did not know that the quest was for that late game power armor until I read notes mentioning it. I was thinking: It's been easy so far. I may as well finish it. 0_0

@@ajflink >New game >Level 10 >Already has Power Armor >Easily beats late game quest involving Enclave And this is why I dislike Fallout 4, the game makes you feel like a god way too early on, I know Bethesda games aren't supposed to be challenging, but in Fallout 4 it feels like the game holds your hand way too much in the early game, I mean they literally give you power armor and a minigun at the very start of the game ffs. In New Vegas you couldn't even leave Goodsprings from the north because you were almost guaranteed to get killed to Cazadores.

@@Yuyam12 Firstly, the minigun is a very useless weapon unless you have 1000s of bullets for it. Secondly, I never claimed this was easy. I died a lot trying to complete the quest and had a lot of fun doing it. You can still get one-shot while in the power armor. I mentioned the piggy bank launcher because I got one-shot by a piggy bank bomb at full health in Hellfire power armor. Thirdly, you get ambushed very easily if you blindly wander around. Plus, you use the grenade launcher that you get immediately upon starting the game on the "complete" version of New Vegas making the Cazadors a joke as you can cripple them and then kill them more easily.

@@ajflink The problem with handing player a minigun right at the start is its damage has to be low or else it will be overpowered. New Vegas handles the problem by just not handing you a minigun at the start, thus allowing it to be powerful in the late game. Same with power armor, that's why fusion cores drain so fast. As for the stuff New Vegas gives you off the start... *fair,* which is why I run Viva New Vegas extended, which doesn't give you those weapons off the start. A better implementation would've been a minor quest to find them, or maybe having an option to select a background that pertains to those items.

SARCASM: Yeah I really like the dialogue options in previous games when you have sometimes ONE "option" and the exposition dialogue instead of being on the 🔼key is layed out but has as much dialogue. NO SARCASM: Really if you look at the FACTS Fallout 4 has the most dialogue lines out of all Fallout games PERIOD. Unlike what stupid memes are saying you DO have different options abd decisions in dialogue - literally directly outside of Concord there is a small quests that gives you the options - 1. Negotiate a truce between a drug dealer and a family 2. Rob the drug dealer and scare him off 3. Kill the drug dealer 4. Kill the family And in the dialogue you are introduced to what Jet is and to the addiction mechanic, who these people are, why they are argueing, what they are selling and Wolfgang reacts to you wearing or not wearing a Vault Jumpsuit or Power Armor. It's literally one of the first quests you can do and it already proves you wrong. And don't act as if it's the only one. If we look at quests like Diamond City Blues they have even more options for the player. But yeah if you only do radiant Minutemen quests you can get a false impression

@@funki4896 a lot of the convos with one option are very simple dialogues that don’t need more than one option in the older games. For more meaningful quests/side quests there’s a lot more freedom of choice for how you approach conversation. Oh, and having unique dialogue options for having certain skill checks which FO4 doesn’t have outside of speech.

@@SuperColtsrock11 why do so many fans think of the skill system as indesputably good? It is never even questioned. I think it's outdated and belongs to where it comes from Fallout 1 skills -> GURPS -> table top D&D. The skills weren't really removed in Fallout 4 - some of them were reworked into perks and hidden variables that are influenced by gear/a special stat like Sneak instead of being a visible unimmersive number is now a hidden variable governed by Agility, the perk, clothing, lighting, movement and aid items. In Fallout New Vegas you can have 1 Agility but 100 sneak while in Fallout 4 you need tons of additional items to master sneaking and at least a reasonable 3 Agility. Making lockpicking into a perk is genius as the percentages between 25 and 50 are basically meaningless anyway so why not make these into perk ranks? The skill checks are gone? That's horrible because now your build does not make some actions impossible. And at the same time: it's horrible how you as the player cannot do anything - that's completely contradictory but that's what New Vegas preachers say anyway. For example if you want to enter Kellogg's house Fallout 4 gives you *NINE* different possibilities: 1. Use the Lockpick perk and a bobby pin while Tumblers today and the 4th rank of the Lockpick perk can make it easier. If your Lockpick rank is not high enough you could still steal the key from the mayors safe or his secretary's desk. 2. Steal the key from the mayor or his secretary. 3. Hack the computer of the mayor to open his safe. The difficulty of hacking is tied to your Intelligence stat and Hacker perk plus to whether you have Valentine's perk. All of the above is also tied to sneaking. 4. Speech solutions - you can convince either the mayor or his secretary into giving you the key - you need to pass a speech challenge the difficulty of which is tied to your Charisma, the Black Widow/Lady Killer perk and the SCAV! magazine issue #1. 5. You can bribe them too requiring caps. 6. Bring Cait with you - she can lockpick the door. 7. Complete the first Automatron quest and build an automatron with a lockpick gadget - he can open any door for you. 8. Combat solution - kill the Mayor or his secratary in any way you can imagine and loot the key off their corpses. 9. Be prepared by progressing Mama Murphy's quest - she will help you find Kellogg's key which has fallen beneath his appartement. Really the only options they could have added is using force by breaking the door open or using explosives. And maybe you could hire a robber to get the key or pick the lock. Apart from that they really implemented anything imaginable. So the devs gave the player a ton of different options to solve a single stage of a quest without needing to have some weird numbers in brackets in dialogue or some weird numbers in the pipboy that don't mean anything - what do you think does a player rather understand? "Locksmith rank 2 - lets you pick expert locks" or "Locksmith [57]" what feels more immersive to you? I really don't see how New Vegas' skill system could have handled the situation better. Not to mention that your companions react to your decision unlike in FNV.

@@funki4896 I don’t have the time or energy to write a significant response to this so I’ll just say I’m glad you enjoy FO4. I liked it well enough my first playthrough but it’s too shallow for me to playthrough again. Have a good one

good take, he honestly lost me when he compared it to RDR2 and called the game a masterpiece, it just felt like unnecessary cope from someone who just actually liked the game for what it was.

Karma was a terrible system, tho - Don’t me I’m a good or bad person, let me decide that on my own based on how I interpret my character’s actions. And companions will leave you if you lower their affinity enough. I felt that in general, your actions had weight in the game, but I can see where you’re coming from. For me, Fallout’s appeal is getting to see how a world & its people rebuild after the end of the world, and the inclusion of settlements greatly helped further that since we can take even more of a direct hand in that by literally, physically rebuilding the wastes by founding entire towns & safe havens. To each their own, of course.

@@franzsanders9573 the karma system wasn’t perfect but it made it feel as though ur actions had real affect on the world and how people viewed you. also u can still justify ur actions within the karma system. For example my last play through of fallout 3 I was a cut throat merc and would immediately help people out or murder people as long as it meant lining my pockets. Like I was earning tons of negative karma but I never found it hard to rationalize my choices. Another thing I’ll say is that if u didn’t like the karma system, that’s fine, but the answer should be to improve that system, not completely scrap it. Last thing, it might technically be possible to get a companion to leave you in fallout 4, but it’s so insanely difficult that I’m willing to bet the vast majority of players have never had that occur. From what I’ve read it sounds like you gain affinity just by traveling with that companion, which makes it pretty damn hard to rack up negative affinity unless ur literally cannibalizing every corpse you see. Also I agree the settlement system was a great addition, only issue is it’s insanely buggy. There’s an absurd amount of restrictions to building and sometimes you can’t use resources for the stupidest reasons. For example my last play of fallout 4 I wanted to make all my settlements dope as shit, and I spent like a good hour making a market in the Somerville settlement only to have the shops bug out bc they were too far from the workshop. Those kinds of bugs are inexcusable imo

That’s completely fair, I find overly realistic stuff like that a bit too finicky for myself but I see why other people could love it!

⁠@@KindofBradAtThisI find the distinction between playing a role, and developing a role through choices to be an integral distinction.

Fallout nv is clearly about you playing the role of the courier who needs to find the platinum chip and decide the fate of new Vegas, but it never tells you how the story is supposed to go. You have no moral obligation to find the chip or hunt down Benny or do anything related to the opening cutscene. You’re a true blank slate and so it’s pretty effortless to play the role of the courier as yourself. It’s so obvious that the just shoot you in the head and give you amnesia to start the game. They want the protagonist to be you, not the other way around. The role you play is that of someone who wasn’t meant to have the power to change the world exploring the wasteland as well as themselves by examining how their choices impact the wasteland. Fallout 4 doesn’t allow for very much of that at all. In fallout 4 you’re made to play a role that is very much distinct from you as a player. You’re immediately given a moral obligation to complete the main quest line and a backstory as a patriot and soldier. From there, your exploration tends to amount to you being a murdering psychopath farting around for a while and stumbling into silly sci fi tropes. Fallout 4 is still a role playing game, but as it goes on it’s very clear that you are playing a role that is not dynamic. You’re not encouraged or even allowed to change as a character throughout the course of a play through. Liking fallout 4’s story really relies on you enjoying the Bethesda gameplay loop and being happy to ignore the plot while you’re having fun shooting stuff. fallout 4 simply doesn’t offer the depth that new Vegas does with its writing. It will occasionally throw a trolley problem at you but your choices either won’t have very significant consequences or won’t align with what you as a person would like to do. It feels cheap, and it makes you feel like you’re choices are meaningless. Fallout 4 is just as much of a role playing game as fallout new Vegas, they are both firm denizens of that genre. That doesn’t mean fallout 4 even comes close to new Vegas as a piece of interactive storytelling. Where fallout 4 gives you power armor and weapons and cosmetics that you want to use, new Vegas provides a world that you want to engage with on a deeper level. I’ve never been a big reader, if something doesn’t hold my interest well enough I’m very good at getting distracted. In my experience with Bethesda games, I have never finished a book or data log entry by virtue of getting bored too quick. New Vegas had me reading like I was in grade school and they were offering free slices of pizza for finishing a book. I wanted to read just for the satisfaction of learning something about the world and know how it reinforces the main themes of the game. I’m clearly biased as fuck, but I have plenty of reasons to never play fallout 4 again whereas I never need an excuse to go back to new Vegas. Damn, maybe I should go make an 8 hour response to this video. Or a diss track, we shall see.

​@@4dbagel945 I completely agree with what you say, but you know damn well he ain't gonna read that 😂

Good ideas, bad executions. BUGthesda's development ideology 101. Plenty of potential was with F4, but they hired the wrong people to create such a world.

@@JADEK111 nah i wouldn't blame the team that worked on 4, its obviously the management's fault. map, shooting, some side quests, dungeon design, art in general are all pretty good.

@@Timsturbs It's almost always the management's fault, but year after a year giving a hand to such ideology, makes the devs no better than the managers/publishers/shareholders.

Kingdom come was to on rails to be a true rpg and the voice acting was always considered sub par what planet you from

@@JADEK111 Bad executions? Fallout 4 blows the other games out of the water in the areas that are most important. Open World design, dungeons, combat, customization. Everything New Vegas did well were things you could experience by just pulling up a KZfaq video, which would save you the time of having to play through it's mediocre gameplay.

Just look at the pip-boy. There's a quest tab that tells you what to do.

Mind you that, being an open world game, it also depends on what you mean by "first mission", because the literal first quest is the one where you start the game in the pre-war period. Are you referring to something else? Otherwise, it all depends on where you currently at in the game.

@@JADEK111 I’m learning that I need to level up a lot hahah

The game kinda throws power cores at you though, I’m level 14 rn and I got like 10-15 cores at any given time

@@KindofBradAtThis I've got about 4 💀💀💀

@@FatalityPWN get exploring!!

Make 4 water purifiers and say goodbye to power core problems. I'm at 40 now with 68 cores in reserve, and using power armor since the beginning of this playthrough.

@@tfdrago I'm still semi early after playing since playing it at launch all those years ago. I still think the next game should just change the fusion core system entirely.

Gauntlet of Opinion has been thrown. does he acknowledge or take it as a challenge?

My only question is: how does one play Fallout 1 & 2? Nothing I have will run them.

​@@keithsavagelivesyou can run Fallout 1&2 on a toaster. GoG or Steam and any Mac/Windows computer that came out after 1995 can run it. You don't even need a graphics card. I've gotten it working on my phone before.

@@AmishArmyX I tried to play it on my Windows 7 machine, didn't even load. I will keep trying. Maybe my phone will do it! Thanks.

he didn't

Right?

Yes, honestly. That's my biggest problem with the game. Other than the fact that they got rid of almost all of the player choice (probably also because Emil can't manage it) The institute is the most nonsensical convoluted faction I've seen in a long time, and the brotherhood's opinion on them makes no sense either Memorable moments does not make a good story. Bethesda is great at making memorable moments, but really bad at writing coherent stories

leave Emil alone you obsessive little creep.

@@renaigh No, Emil is one of the most incompetent hacks in the gaming industry and i like shitting on his work because that's all its good for. Cry about it you little shill.

@@brodieorr5393 Emil should've sticked to writing side quests like he used to, and let other writers or more specifically the writer of Far Harbor handle the main story.

It's like he's a writer specifically for COD action set-pieces, he wants a scene to have certain things regardless of whether it makes sense or negative consequences, like giving the player Power Armor and a Minigun at the start of the game and nerfed the minigun to balance it around that specific sequence.

To be fair it was because of the Institute which stopped building progress however I can understand but I love building so you get more out of it if you like rebuild however i do think there could have been a option were settlers build basic housing if you refuse to help them.

@jonathancunningham8739 I'mma be honest, that's not a good enough lore reason for me to personally handwave it away lol. It's the exact same thing they said about the Capital Wasteland in 3, they just swapped out the Vault 87 super mutants with Institute super mutants.

​@@ColinAYB For you, yes. Objectively, it's logical and good.

@king_isshiki It's just a repeated excuse to keep the wasteland in a state of arrested development because Bethesda doesn't know how to progress stories in sequels. If humanity actually shows some of the ingenuity and ability to progress that we've demonstrated for millenia then it's hard for them to write yet another fish out of water story about a vault dweller saving the wasteland a week after leaving the vault for the first time.

Not to mention that the first six months post release where a shit-show. I had my save deleted as I finished the game the first time because of a common glitch corrupting save files at the time. Settlements weren't even really operational for the first week, just toying with the system caused immeasurable lag and/or crashed your game.

cretosis actually cares and has good points, this guy comes off as a pretentious lying hack who made a video out of spite.

​@@arkgaharandan5881Both care and make good points. They just have different opinions. I don't agree with creetosis for the most part, but I actually really like his videos.

@@heretichero2160 no he doesnt, dwterminator's video on the show is to me the best explanation of what fallout is and what bethesda did to it.

Fo4 VR is a beast

On the matter of Fallout 76 there are some pros and cons, some concerns of lore, and room for major improvements, but it can quite interesting. Also, true multiplayer is a great experience. However, in a review for Fallout 76 it may take a very long time for you to get a sense of many storylines and subtle aspects, and to cope with some jarring issues that impact some aspects of immersion. It (Fallout 76) has many moving pieces, and options, such as whether to play with Fallout 1st or without, which can create a largely different experience and set of struggles in the game. The developers of the Fallout 76 and of the Fallout Videos (2024 - Amazon Prime) should review both fans' suggestions, comments and also your video about insights for overall focus and improvements. By listening to critics and fans, the developers (in theory) can get a better focus on what can continue to help in the quality, plausible lore, entertainment and immersion.

I think I’ll stick to playing fallout 4 just like the rest of them, because I like the building mechanisms, the story, the memorable characters, the gunplay and good graphics. Thanks tho!

@@KindofBradAtThis that's cool thanks :)

“Wh-why is everyone naked”

I wish for Fallout 4: New Vegas to retain the same experience as the OG FNV. As long as BUGthesda won't do something again to prevent that...

I played both NV and fallout 4 and found 4 to be superior in just about every way. I personally love the voiced protagonist and the customization options + overall look/feel of fo4.

Ive always thought 4 had a much better physical world and lived up to boston irl. NV's world felt pretty hollow without the writing to back it up. But yea, a happy middleground between the two games would tick all the boxes. each is the other's opposite.

look brother i am in the FNV fans camp but calling the mojave "beautifully crafted" is just flat out wrong.

New Vegas is an action RPG. Fallout 4 just feels like an action game. No real RPG systems

THE SCIENCE

I’d definitely say replay the game and other fallout games cause aside from the originals, none of them give the level of freedom you’re describing outside the players imagination! The meme of fo4 being yes, no, yes(sarcastic) is true but the same is true for other fallout games. Almost EVERY interaction is yes, no, snarky remark, tell me your backstory, leave convo. The issue is fo4 having Nate/nora voices is it more easily pulls you out of that RP, but I’d argue even then going down various paths of the factions, giving your reasons for why you act the way you are to characters etc really does flesh out your character!

Definitely agree with the Skyrim to fallout RPG simplification line of thought though! Skyrim is awesome but it’s as wide as an ocean deep as a puddle

​@@KindofBradAtThisi feel like we played different games entirely. Fallout new vegas has so many dialogue options to express your character's background/skills and learn more about the character or the matter at hand. There are also a few ways to solve problems although that's just standard for rpgs. For example, if you want to, you can convince Chris Haversam that he's not a ghoul and that the ghouls have been tricking him. He can either help them or sabotage them out of pettiness. I think one of my favorite parts of the dialogue in new vegas is how, if you pass a barter check of 50 with Dean Domino, it will be impossible to not kill him/make peace. It's so incredibly fitting for such an egotistical character.

​@@KindofBradAtThisuh have you actually played new vegas?

The Factions are not poorly written.

@@KindofBradAtThis He's not wrong though, if games are produced for profit, the incentive to make sub-par games to save on costs is there. The logical solution is to have certain industry standards for games.

He really expects Asmongold to watch this, but it's not even close to being on his radar.

Truest take in the whole smouldering comments section.

The gunplay was made by Id Software, at Bethesda request for help.

@@CZOM027 Yup. It doesn't change that the action is better in FO4, for sure though. And Bethesda could've easily released remastered FONV & FO3 by now if they really wanted to, they just have their studio busy pumping out the next borderline AI-generated open world game in their pipeline.

@@ahealthkit2745 The action, debatable, the npcs are braindead. The remaster isn't even in their hands for NV.
