Fallout Fallout 4 Thread

I don't suppose the son is somehow inheriting the looks of the parents? That would be potentially hilarious...

I wondered that because in the beginning of the game the baby seemed to have same skin tone as my character.

Hm, in that case I'm checking some of the less serious longplays now...

Okay i found it at NMA, apparently Dog not only essential but plot critical as well.

Spoiler

The dog is a plot critical character and the way he is crowbarred in is beyond retarded.

After completing the quest to rescue the Synth detective and the button magically coming into existence, we start "investigating the room" which is just my character naming things off the table without me prompting him to. After a few seconds Valentine starts talking to me, he says if I have any ideas. I see the option "Use Dogmeat" which is very very strange because I dismissed the dog before anyone even told me his name, I ditched the dumb mutt inmediately. So I don't pick it because I don't even know where the Dog even is. Then Valentine himself tells me to use Dogmeat. No idea how the fuck Valentine even knows who that is, he ahs never seen him...

Okay the quest marker then turns into "Use dogmeat to follow Kellog's trail", I think to myself "okay at least the quest marker is gonna tell me where the flea bag is". I get out of Kellog's House and now Dogmeat is just there, he teleported into Diamond City somehow. Then the quest forces me to basically waste time following dogmeat to a bunch of useless places until he arrives to a building near the place I found him in the first place.


It's so stupid....

Damn, what's up with this dog fetish Bethesda

Dogmeat has been part of beloved Fallout lore since the very first Fallout. Never been plot critical though as far as I know.

True, i know about that.

But still. I don't use dog at all in my previous walkthrough in Fallout, so i hate it when they force you to use a dog if you want to progress in main quest.

That's why they introduced paid mods
However it could be hilarious if none of the dcs includes any kind of base management at all.

When I read the text: "LEGENDARY ENEMY HAS MUTATED" I knew for a fact I wasn't playing a Fallout game.

 

[a cut of domestic sheep prime]

no I don't cuz I ain't torrenting this shit

Who torrents anymore? Most of the stuff gets uploaded to various direct download sites these days.

Reading that Bethesda made the game should've tipped you off sooner.

Okay found more thing

A hint of future DLC ?

The return of the Megaton cult(tm)!
Please don't let this mean they will fuck up Lonesome Road, please

That's just an area you visit as part of the main quest. It's that bomb cult from Megaton in Fallout 3, and they're inexplicably not affected by fatal radiation for reasons the game doesn't bother to explain (or maybe I just missed the explanation).

 

[Shammy]

A hint of future DLC ?

Apparently the Great Divide is some prophecy the Children of Atom believe in, where they'll get nuked and only the true believers will be saved or some shit. I really didn't care enough to remember all of it, but I don't think it's a big enough thing for DLC. We may just get Zeta 2.0 instead.

And I also never saw an explanation for their radiation immunity outside of 'Atom gave us this gift for our devotion'. Which is also a shitty plot device, but hey who needs explanations when you've got magic?

Yeah, to be fair, in a world where there is a RADIATION GUN that shoots visible radiation that instantly kills and ragdolls people, that plot device wouldn't even warrant a blink.

They gonna end up retconning, that the whole west coast is gonna swallow up by the Great Divide

You've seen the Commonwealth, Diamond City. How does it compare to your old life?

 

[Mastermind]

Anyway, the game is shit but is there any prospect of Obsidian getting to make a new game using the same engine? Really hope New Vegas wasn't a one time thing. But Bethesda are probably still salty about NV being considered better than Fallout 3, so probably not.

NV is not generally considered better than Fallout 3 (and rightfully so). The bigger issue would be that Bethesda is really fucking sensitive and Sawyer stepped on their toes a couple of times.

Fallout 4 received 3 nominations for Dorito Pope's awards show.
In comparison, CDPR received 7.
