Hows the collab coming along, folks?

Fallout: Under Silver Skies [Closed]

I too enjoyed the game first play through, maybe about half way into the second play when I realised just how liniar and limited it all is.

But first time yeah.

Will have to try with that and other mods.

So far new vegas with all DLC and mods owns my heart.

@Tsar Gatto

New Vegas is my all time favourite, closely followed by 2.

I'm just having a crack at Nuka World for the first time, and so far I'm having a blast. The games finally letting me be evil, which is nice

You enjoyed the god awful, barely making an effort shooting mechanics, the poorly executed dialog system that doesn't indicate what you'll say and has a limit of four options because that's how many buttons are on a controller, the non-perk system that doesn't allow you to do cool things like say something so intimidating everyone in the room panics, the limited playthrough options due to the perk downgrade, the tacked on and unnecessary tamagotchi-like settlement system, the predictable plot twist involving the main characters child (wow, I passed out in a cryo chamber I wonder if he'll come back at some point but older cause I don't know how long I was out), the same enemies from fallout 3 with the addition of two mutants you'll never see until the day you die and synths which are humans with removeable limbs, a plot hook that's basically Bladerunner so if you've seen that movie then nothing in the games theme is going to surprise you or make you think?

@Chrononaut

Yes

Now we just need some mysterious way for her to get involved in shenanigans

EDIT: And I assume post was not as crappy as expected?

@Monochromatic Rainbow

It was absolute garbage, get out of my thread.

I jest, I enjoyed it!

Clayton West savoured one last lungful of smoke, before letting his cigarette hit the earth with a soft thud.

He stood in a clearing of irradiated soil and sandblasted rocks, a few miles from Reno’s outskirts. Stretched out in front of him was a single-file line of of prisoners, all bound and gagged and forced onto their knees. They were dressed plainly, in bland rags, and seemed to be withered from malnutrition.

“Think that’s everyone,” Smog announced, making his way across the scorched earth, and over to West “How you planning on getting this bunch out to Utah?”

West said nothing, simply reaching inside the pocket of his trench coat, and removing what looked like a slightly chunkier revolver. He raised it over his head, firing off a short into the bleak silver sky above.

A smoldering red flare leapt out of the barrel, lurching upwards, until it disappeared behind a blanket of grey clouds.

No more than a handful of moments later, the sharp chopping of propeller blades hissed through the air, and the squat body of a Vertibird Gunship broke through the skies above. The Vertibird landed a stone's throw from where the two men stood, its engines gradually dying.

The side door opened with a hiss, and a figure that was clad from head-to-toe in a set of bulky X-01 Power Armor stepped out, sending up a puff of sand as their feet hit the earth.

“Ready on your command, sir.” boomed a deep, metallic voice.

“Excellent,” West nodded “let's get these mutants aboard.”

Another thing is the forcing of the backstory - I don't want to be a homemaker with a law degree, I wanna be a slightly unhinged mercenary Goddammit

Not to mention it tries to force emotion for characters you see about five minutes of

Player choice has been so heavily restricted that it's simply mind blowing

I play it with the FROST mod personally - open world Metro is fun, railroaded good guy-ness with a forced backstory and whatever that isn't even good? No thanks.

@Monochromatic Rainbow

I feel that. I wanted to be the Cannibal Raider Queen of the Commonwealth. Its a real shame, cause there's the odd sarcastic line that captivated what I wanted to go for with my character as a whole, but they were few and far between.

@Kingfisherlol no, I get you. I did play it to completion, so I enjoyed what time I had with it. I did like playing the Railroad faction, if only because I like the whole shadowy world of spies and whatnot.

@Leidenschaft

I also sidded with the Railroad. That big arse railway spike gun is so fucking cool.

Boooom

Crappy intro post!

@Monochromatic Rainbow

A man shall take a look at the post(s) now.

If the moniker of "crappy" was not fitting, then I expect twenty punishment laps.

Fallout: Under Silver Skies [Closed]

Don't get me wrong, folks, its not without its flaws. Just didn't think it was as bad as the internet had lead me to believe.

(at least its not Tactics)

Fallout: Under Silver Skies [Closed]

Just started playing that newfangled 'Fallout 4' game, all the kids have been raving about.

Actually not that bad.

Ah, well… seems I am prone to making little things up in my head. Aside from that though.

@Tsar Gatto

Ja, aside from that you were correct :)
