also fo4 did the most to squash god stats like agility

because it wasn't relying on some decades old notion of bad pnp design, holy fuck

if i could notice that before playing any ttrpg what's your excuse

"Maybe I’m just doing it wrong but I always felt like there’s no point in upgrading weapons in Fallout 4 unless you’re doing the best possible upgrades. Like why would I waste resources on the blue-powered receiver for +15 damage when I can just find a bit more junk and then make the green-powered advanced receiver for +30 damage"

because they're perk locked

like a fucking rpg

guys why should i buy this +1 sword when i could just wait until my ref gives me a +3 sword

plz rply

one of the ways you can tell nv players suck at fo4 is because they literally don't know what weapons do, the perks do, or how enemies behave

because in new vegas all you do is pick the highest damage/dps weapon you have ammo for and blast 'em and that works 99% of the time

this gets your face ripped off in fo4, where enemies have different weaknesses, weak points, attack patterns etc

it's why people die to sentry bots, assaultrons, different deathclaw variants, etc

nv has none of this. you hide behind a chunk of rock and pew pew until the bullet sponge is dead even if you have ap ammo

it's also why everyone hates cazadores: they fly around really fast and that's when you realize... all that "weapon variety" new vegas gives you?

literally just a buncha +/-1 modifiers. almost zero utility across new vegas' armoy

"Oh yeah I guess I didn't really think about stealth gameplay"

bruh lol

"The ammo types in NV was a nice idea, but I can’t say I ever really used them. Never seemed like a point"

it's because you could get through the game just fine with just surplus

"In Fallout 4 all pistols are chambered in 10mm"

this is such a weird way to say you didn't play fo4

"Your telling me obsidian made four Expansions for New Vegas. And no one thought "hey, what if used one of these expansions to explore an area under legion occupation and fleshout the faction with the least amount of content?""

the bull the bear the bull the bear the bull the bear the bull the bear the bull the bear the bull the bear the bull the bear the bull the bear the bull the bear the bull the bear the bull the bear the bull the bear

i am very deep and smart

also you have fo3 the pitt

that dlc has better writing than all of new vegas too

"Also on top of that how much more can the legion be explored? They're not actually Rome, they're the Huns."

they are not the huns

they are also not the romans they just wear funny costumes and say ave

bruh

you knew new vegas stans can't read

literally one game later and they couldn't get their shit together

no wonder they sold to bethesda

"I remember back in the day a friend complained about mama Murphy and the whole jet sight and magical bullshit.Fast forward to me years later i play fo2 and have magic Skype calls with the shaman."

... did you not play new vegas?

"My ass straight up forgot the Forecaster existed. He occupied zero space in my head."

hey real quick

it was written like ass. that's why you don't remember it

everyone complains about mothership zeta and mama murphy but damn at least they remember it

"I only remember him because one time he got me stuck in an endless dialogue loop with no exit.

Uhh, I mean NEW VEGAS IS PEAK AND PERFECT THERE IS LITERALLY NO BETTER GAME THAT EXISTS"

fo3 unmodded literally runs better than "stable modded" nv and it's 2026

"You know whats funny.Dude was a fo1/fo2 glazer but never played the games.He did the same thing with morrowind."

i believe this because i see these fuckers all the time

i also don't like morrowind but at least i understand why other people like morrowind

there are commendable bits to it

and big mushrooms 🍄

"Plus, most people are NOT ready for a Deathclaw fight this early in the game. That suit is very likely to break during the fight, and is also likely the only reason, for most people at least, that the Deathclaw didn’t outright soft lock them at this moment entirely. It makes perfect sense when you look at it from the perspective of someone making a game and not just the critics who play it specifically to pick it apart."

the most sane comment i've read in this sub

"Procedes to FO76 where Appalachia looks almost intact"

only pre-reclamation day

"Fallout 2 is doing a lot of heavy lifting there, half the random encounters are memes"

there are multiple videos on youtube with millions of views mad about fo4's ghoul kid in a fridge

"The problem is largely timeline-related, Fallout 1 is really early in the timeline and there are already proper settlements being built like Shady Sands. Fallout 4 is very late in the timeline and people are still living in highly impractical sheet metal death-by-heat-stroke boxes and wood shanties when they had literally about 100 years to figure something out"

fo1/2/nv have plot armor protags who murder all factions doing bad shit

east coast has supervillains fucking everything up

you also have the thing where the east coast got meganuked more than the west coast

new vegas also had house literally intercepting nukes which is why the strip even exists at all

it's almost like you don't think about lore or how things would play out at all 🤔

"why isn't the commonwealth totally recovered?!?!?!"

*institute literally kidnapping people and shitting out synths and super mutants*

meanwhile the problems in the mojave are like "we have rifles and we can't shoot a bunch of losers armed with sticks"

best writing, s-tier

"X-01 PA as a whole is considered Lore Breaking"

lore knowledge is bad, but pa lore knowledge is the worst jankfest i ever saw

"X-01 is disappointing as it makes APA a prewar armor when Devs of Fallout 2 had it postwar according to Fallout Bible."

the fallout bible is not canon

they were literally called mindless ghouls and zombies in fallout 1

moreover a recurring point in fo3 is that ghouls experience a lot of bigotry because people /assume/ they may go feral at any time

so... no
