Hey guys, do we have a Fallout thread?Let's make a Fallout thread! because New Vegas coming out soon and that it's sort of topical.Pic related, it's a fucking laser rifle.
>>88068Don't forget Your President, John Henry Eden.
>>88075You mean that guy that's just President Dick Richardson from Fallout 2, except he's a computer with a radio station?Oh yeah, real memorable.
>>88076A fair point. I just loved his voice.
>>88076It's very memorable to the people who came in on Fallout 3, of which I bet there are a lot.
>>88075>>88085Fair point, Eden may not have been the most shocking of character twist but his voice was very distinct.
>>88085Depressingly, yes.
>>88149I liked the fact that he had a slightly British accent to him.
>>88162>Eden>British Accent
>>88210Well, he IS this guy.
>>88213...Holy shit I had no idea he was in A Clockwork Orange. He's one of my favorite actors and I never knew that.
>>88224Really? Its one of his more memorable roles.
>>88252I guess it's that I've never thought of him having been a young man. Even though it was the same name in the credits, I didn't connect the two because Malcolm McDowell has always been the same age he is now.
>>88213But the character doesn't sound British. At all.
Incase you guys didn't know, Fallout is free on GameTap. So put down your BitTorrent and go to GameTap.
>>91064Which one? The original or the crappy sequels?
Original of course.

>>91065Are you saying Fallout 2 was bad?
>>91855
>>91854I hope those "X amount" achievements aren't limited to one run of a campaign.
>>see the list>>see New Vegas Samurai>>demand that you can use a guitar as melee weapon
>>91924>Six String Samurai refrence.BROTHER!
>>91924>>91932>Other people loved Six String SamuraiKINSMEN!!!!!!
>>91936>>91924TRULY THIS A BOND THAT WITH WITHSTAND THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS OF THE EONS!!!
>>91932>>91936>>91938MY KIN! TRULY, THIS IS THE MOMENT I HAVE LONGED FOR ALL MY LIFE. COME, LET US WALK INTO THE DESERT, ARM IN ARM, AND EMBRACE OUR DESTINIES. AS SWORD WIELDING BUDDY HOLLY'S.
>>91952I BELONG SOMEWHERE ON THE INTERNET!COME MY COMPATRIOTS, WE SHALL PARTAKE IN NONSENSICAL MERRIMAKING!!!
Shaddup all of you. Or I'll let the Broccoli monster eat you.Anyways, I remember an interview where the New Vegas guys said that SSS was one of the things they took inspiration from. That's probably where the New Vegas Samurai achievement comes from.
>>91854Right now that I've had a chance to look at this sane, awake and sober>The Whole Gang's Here (25): Recruit all companions. Multiple companions? Here's hoping.>The House Always Wins (30)>For the Republic (30)>Render Unto Caesar (30)>Wild Card (30)Judging by the high points, they look like the end quests. Obviously choice of siding with the Republic of California or Ceasers legion. Here's hoping wild card or House always wins is the "Take over Vegas for yourself" option.Also>>Six String Samurai fansGod damn it if I have to kill an elite samurai because of you people I will be very annoyed. Amused too, but mostly annoyed.
>>92037> "Take over Vegas for yourself" optionOr that option doesn't exist, because RPGs never let you become a dictator like you want to, even if by the end your karma meter is so far in the red the land you walk becomes barren plague-land, you've destroyed every other major power, and you are armed with all the land's greatest weapons plus enough money to fund 3 world superpowers.
>>92038What about Oblivion: Shivering Isles where you become the Prince of Madness?Or Vampire the Masqurade: Bloodlines where you can become the defacto sherrif for the new regime.Or fallout 1 where after the master is defeated you found a tribe becoming its cheif elder for decades untill you finaly get sick of not being dead yet and wander off into the wasteland.
>>92038Heh got that option in Singularity. Fuck both the Dictator and the man that wants to reset the time line back to normal.I'm gonna take my Time Warping powers back to the states and make the US a brutal war machine.
>>92041Also Dragon age where if you have the noble origin you can become king.
>>92041>What about Oblivion: Shivering Isles where you become the Prince of Madness?Haven't played it, sounds fair enough though.>Or Vampire the Masqurade: Bloodlines where you can become the defacto sherrif for the new regime.Not really the same thing.>Or fallout 1 where after the master is defeated you found a tribe becoming its cheif elder for decades untill you finaly get sick of not being dead yet and wander off into the wasteland.Not even close to what I was talking about. That's really got nothing to do with the player, it's just the set-up for 2. And the dweller is certainly no emperor or anything of the sort, he's just a dude that people started follow. The Journal he leaves seems to indicate he's rather apathetic to the whole ordeal.
>>92046I admit the fallout 1 thing wasnt realy a "you are the boss now" type thing.Also now that I think about the way VTM:Blood Lines ended, maybe "House always wins" is the support the old boss option and "Wild Card" is the blow up everything and then leave option.
http://planetfallout.gamespy.com/articles/features/1852/Pete-Hines-Interviewed-By-Planet-Fallout>being able to make your own chems and stimpacksOh god, they added Alchemy, basically? ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE ME WASTE MORE OF MY LIFE BETHSEDAive got 200 flax seeds why
>>92041>What about Oblivion: Shivering Isles where you become the Prince of Madness? you got a staff. woop di fuck. nothing in oblivion had any consequence.
>you got a staffNo, thats how you became the prince. After become the prince you get guards and have to protect the realm of the shivering isles (Or leave it to the guards. Or not protect it at all)Hey I'm not saying it was the most godlike of rewards I was just giving an example of a "take over" option in an rpg.
>>92546Weapon moding and chem creation? Well at the very least they've improved on Fo3's game play already.
#1 thing Bethesda needs to add:Vault-dweller enemies all have VATS. Let them use them. The Gary vault would have been harrowing if every psychotic Gary had matrix powers. You know, instead of being a wasted vault full of paper doll enemies.Moreover, Butch had VATS and he never used it either.
>>93060 How would you know when they did? I think its just, in game context, computer-assisted aiming.
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/09/15/fallout-new-vegas-for-ps3-meet-the-companions/Thank a /tg/ poster for this, not me.
>>93347HA! I Like it!! Wonder if I get to bonik anyone?
>>93347 >>93356 Theres gonna be so many goddamn mods for new companions, much less what you can 'do' with them, so I don't doubt it.
>I dunno, I'm not very interested in New Vegas...>See VA list>Ron Pearlman as narrator >Wayne Newton as DJ>Matthew Perry, Zachary Levi, Kris Kristofferson, Danny Trejo, Michael Dorn, and Felicia DayMOTHER FUCKIN' SOLD!
>>93501Why the hell wouldn't you be interested in New Vegas? It's tightened FO3 combat+the good writing of the old series.
>>93501 Think you can still get the pick-and-choose preorder benifits.http://bethblog.com/index.php/2010/06/10/fallout-new-vegas-digital-pre-sell-packs-now-available/
>>93501> Dorn"Marcus? Is that you?"
