It's going to be a great play through.

I hate Veronica so much, I'm gonna feed her to the white glove society.

>I hate Veronica so much
She's the worst companion imo while Raul is literally bro tier

Raul is top tier.

Not counting Rex, and ED-E it should go like this.

Usefulness
Raul>Boone>Arcade>Cassidy>>>>Lily>>>>>Veronica

Likability

Raul>Cassidy>>>Lily>Boone>Arcade>>>>Veronica

Make sure to get her kicked out of her family and then blow up their base before killing and eating her.

Magician's Red?

No, but I could take the cannibal perk and really go with it.

>-75% equipment damage

are other companions even trying

>relying on some ugly Mexican to shoot your enemies AND keep your stuff from breaking
Might as well rename him Crutch

Her being voiced by Felicia Day makes her more satisfying to kill
Telling her to her face that I destroyed the brotherhood and then one bombing her with my survivalist rifle was a good feeling

>can't get mini nukes during the DLCs

how am I supposed to kill shit

by using a real weapon instead of a meme

>Relying on some ugly
>ugly

Pic related.

there's a bit in the behind the scenes videos for the game where felicia talks about voice acting for veronica and says that she found the job really easy because she and veronica have so much in common

i've never really been able to put my finger on why i disliked veronica until i saw that

I liked her when the game first came out, but now I always blow up the brotherhood and let her leave.

This is a great song

Felicia Day only ever plays Felicia Day

There are no other characters she can do

So why does everyone hate Felicia Day, is it because she is a woman?

Fantastic, is that you?

>tfw /k/ thread

her being a woman is a big problem for me but her personality is such that even if she weren't a woman i would still dislike her intensely

>letting Veronica move or speak after finding her
you guys aren't playing the game right
I just replaced her dirty KKK outfit with a prostitute outfit from the Strip, used that mod that lets you tie people up and now she's just eternally waiting in my base, tied up and on her knees
I don't have any sex mods installed but I like to think she just acts like my other companions' designated cumdump while I'm not there

Nice

I keep forgetting why she even has a career. Everything features Felicia Day as a way to add nerd cred because she was on that earlier thing where she was featured to add nerd cred. I don't know why I'm supposed to care.

You're doing god's work user.

>I don't have any sex mods installed but I like to think she just acts like my other companions' designated cumdump while I'm not there
What you're saying is you basically set up a fuckhole for all the other people, but not yourself...?

>tfw half the time she wanders off to punch something and dies anyway

>anons ITT didn't give her a dress for the best unarmed move

>captcha: vehicles (tank)

Yeah I just saw that myself a few days ago. She basically says it's her but with more sass
Very annoying and I've never taken her as a companion properly

Because she thinks that because she is a woman it's extra special that she plays games

...

why you guys hate Veronica that much

I play a generous courier who only cares about his men's morale
He would only fuck That Gun or the light switch from OWB

Am I the only one who pictured the institute in 4 as being an above ground facility with a huge inpenetrable glass bubble surrounding it. I had pictured the inside being green with fluroushing trees and grass and clean water, while outside of the bubble being poverty and conflict.

>he would fuck That gun
kek'd

what about stealth suit 2?

>4

Her personality doesn't fit at ALL with New Vegas' tone, she's voiced by a widely hated evil bitch, she represents the Brotherhood of Steel in the game with the most pathetic Brotherhood of Steel chapter, her outfit is ugly, she's supposed to be BoS but uses a fucking POWER FIST, her motivation is frankly nonexistent, her endings are as shitty as her motivation, and compared to any other companions in New Vegas she's just worthless.

To her credit, though, she's worse than most of the other New Vegas companions but far FAR better than most of the companions from Fallout 3.

That would require a non-shit engine and competent developers. I never made it to the Institute but Diamond City was laughably pathetic.

Tbh I did when Zimmer talks about it in 3. Thought it was some massive facility on the surface that was sealed off from the outside world.

Fuck, 4 is such a disappointment.

I literally just finished this quest earlier today, fallout NV has so much more depth than 3 and 4

i hate how much the game validates her perspective, pretty much every other character in the game is flawed and has a good chance of being wrong except veronica who gets you the "good ending" for the brotherhood of steel

out of all these experienced, intelligent and prescient characters in one game and the one who is flat out 100% correct is felicia day, fuck off

I can't really think of a bad Fo3 companion other than maybe Star Paladin Cross. The rest are good, but don't have much backstory at all to delve into. All you know is Fawkes was an inhabitant of vault 87, Charons events somehow led him into the service of Azrukhal, Clover somehow ended up a slave of Mr. Eulogy and Butch never tells you exactly how he made it to Rivet City.

Fallout 4's budget went more towards having one character call you by name once. Seriously, imagine how much of the budget was wated paying one voice actor to record himself addressing the main character by 1000 different names for one 5 second scene.

>who gets you the "good ending" for the brotherhood of steel
What? You can kill Veronica the moment you see her at the 188 and still get any BoS ending you want

She's a whore, I never asked her to use my medical supplies for me

None of the FO3 companions are really terrible because they barely say anything anyway, they just follow you around and might talk every now and then
I just remember Butch saying "whoa did you hear that?" for no reason because he's a bitch and I thought it was funny and Clover yelling "CAN'T STAND THE SIGHT OF YOUR OWN BLOOD?"because it's what every fucking raider says anyway
I don't remember a single thing about everyone else aside from Fawkes sayng "nah it's your destiny dipshit now go die in the purifier" at the end

I'M OUTTA HERE !!!

I hate how everything in New Vegas has that shitty brown color tint.

Mod that shit out, I only did it recently because I'm a fucking idiot and I'm constantly surprised by how much more colorful the game looks now

nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/62481/?

Fawkes also had a bunch of pseudo-zen truisms he would espouse between screaming generic super mutant battle cries at enemies. Far from deep, but at least it was flavorful.

What is Raul's best ending and why is it vaquero?

Are the Bozar, Light Machine Gun and/or Automatic Rifle any fun? I was thinking of playing a character that uses Grunt weapons and having one of those be my main endgame weapon (JSU adds the Bozar and Automatic Rifle to the Grunt list and lowered the Automatic Rifles spread). I have a recollection that fully automatic weapons are crappy in NV though.

once you need to make this thread every day for weeks you should take yourself to /vg/

the assault carbine is decent because 5mm rounds take a big fat shit on armored enemies
I don't think it's ever mentioned in the game even after the patch that implemented that, but 5mm rounds have a -10 DT effect

once you need to make the same post every thread you need to get checked for autism.

plus stop trying to make a split thread on /vg/, you just piss them off.

>5mm AP has -25 DT

the assault carbine looks really dinky for some reason too, feels kind of weird that it can be such a fucking powerhouse

I appreciate the response, I'm specifically wondering about the Bozar, LMG and Automatic Rifle though. I'm not a fan of the assault or marksman carbine.

That's why I use all my 5mm in a minigun. It feels right then

I think Bozar is the upgraded version of the LMG

But you are better off with the Minigun

The biggest may-may in Sup Forums history is pretending new vegas is good.

Nothing else will ever come close.

Sure thing.

Is there any chance of Obsidian making a new Fallout game?

yeah my bad I was mostly replying to your last comment about how "automatic weapons are crappy in NV"
a while back I actually wanted to use the LMG as my main weapon but when I realized the assault carbine completely outperformed it (even the ammo is easier to find) I just gave up on it
it's still probably fine to use but unless you use AP ammo you might have a hard time with armored enemies
don't know much about the other 2, never used them that much

>not liking rex
Faggot detected
>walking through Mojave
>suddenly kill cam
>turn around
>rex has murdered 3 deathclaws by himself without taking damage

i think your overwatch queue popped bro better get out of here

I'll take ED-E's lack of personnality over Veronica's "personnality".

Please no

Doubtful that any sane person would want to partner with Bethesda after the shenanigans they pulled during NV's development.

Are we playing a round of Things That Never Happened?

>walk by a Cazador nest
>Rex doesn't immediately run off and get stung to death

>it's real

>shenanigans they pulled during NV's development.
What?

They gave them really shitty deadlines to get things done i'm guessing

They were given 13 fucking months to make a game. Half that time was spent fixing the dogshit gamebryo engine and mechanics. Once they finished they only had 6 months left to mske the game, and considering all the cut content and having to be downgraded for fucking consoles it would have been a masterpiece if it was given real game development time.

Bethesda set the deadline for development to a little over a year after it had already begun, as well as jewing Obsidian out of a bonus.

I'm hoping for another Black Isle/Obsidian Fallout, 'cause I sure as shit won't buy another Fallout written by that guido tool Emil, but it seems unlikely since the studio's moving on to other projects like Pillars of Eternity.

What are the most useless perks?

Tag, Mister sandman and mutant cannibalism.

Junk Rounds

In Shining Armor

It is literally useless

Confirmed Bachelor turned my first character gay because I didn't know 50's slang.

Other than that, who actually uses Computer Whiz?

>playing without YUP
It's highly situational but it has a use when it does something

here and now and explorer

Pretty okay incase you forget to back out and reset. Why waste that last turn forcing yourself to only have 3 tries?

What's with your hateboner for rex? Why are there so many contrarians in new vegas threads now? Why does summer suck so much?

Which ones lily again?

Because you can get lucky and restore your allowances by clearing out things between brackets

Between that and just resetting you have no excuse to ever lock yourself out

>Get in to dead money
I really like the atmosphere and the idea of having to scavenge like a rat. But god damn I wish God would shut the fuck up about the air tasting like copper.

Sure, I guess, if you actually do sometimes forget to log out and reset. Three turns is usually enough after clearing the empty sets and thinking it through for a bit, though.

Though the other user is right, Here and Now is 100% useless.

at this point they should sell the IP to someone who actually gives a fuck about the lore.

4 was pretty fucking terrible for too many stupid reasons.

>there will most likely never be a non-bethesda fallout game ever again

>copper
I think you mean Old World gold

Nightkin grandma in Jacobstown

>That collection of questions about lore problems where the author just tells them not to think about it.
Depressing, really. Didn't even try to make something up.

PLEASE DON'T BULLY VERONICA

CASH COW! They're going to milk so hard from now on because they know they can jew they're fans and get away with it.

Tag ain't that bad

What's Sup Forums's opinion on the Brush Gun? More importantly, how's that NCR Ranger armor that I think you get from Dead Money?

Word. Who do you think could pull it off?

I've heard CD Projekt Red suggested, and from what I've played of the Witcher 3 I could see them managing it.

Virtually anything that doesn't increase damage or DR or increase ammo/cash spawn rates, or allow for easier use of ingame equipment (Jury Rigging)
If it's "10% chance to do 5% more damage with silenced pistols at night when it's raining" or some shitty perk like that then it's fucking useless

Useless examples:
Friend of the Night
Cannibal
Rad Child
Run N Gun
Hand Loader
Mister Sandman
Mysterious Stranger
Meltdown
Explorer
Concentrated Fire

Useful:
Finesse
Intense Training
Bloody Mess
Shotgun Surgeon
Cowboy

Great gun you never get to use until you can already fuck everything and barely any ammo

Witcher 3 was complete trash story, gameplay and lore wise. It's the most casual RPG ever created, next to no depth, I don't even think stats exist in it. They'd turn everything into a cutscene or waifutrash, anyone but them

So whats up with the fact that Bethesda's fallout games tend to have okay side quests but absolutely trash main quest stories?
I remember liking some of the side quests in 3 and 4 quite a bit, but whenever the main story came up or a character ended up being unkillable it just makes me want to play 1,2 or NV.
