I'm sorry, my companion, but no. We all have our own destinies, and yours culminates here. I would not rob you of that

>I'm sorry, my companion, but no. We all have our own destinies, and yours culminates here. I would not rob you of that.
What did the radiation-impervious supermutant who you asked to enter an irradiated chamber in your stead mean by this?

It's been a long, strange trip.

It means you should BUY MY FUCKING DLC IT FIXES THAT YOU FAG

At least Bethesda realized they fucked up

>Without Broken Steel installed, the Wanderer's companions will refuse to do the job. Naturally, of the seven, four would die just as easily as the Wanderer, and they are not willing to do it. Even Fawkes, Sergeant RL-3, and Charon who are highly resistant or outright immune to radiation, will simply decline. With Broken Steel, however, the latter three will now agree to do the job, as they can do it safely.

I literally unironically pirated fallout 3, bought nv and boght an used copy of fo 4 for 5 burgers

>have to make a DLC because your writers fucked up.

?
Fawkes was a good guy that was making sure you fulfilled your destiny, and even if I did hate your guts and wanted you to die for being a brainlet, you still could have speech challenged him, I'm absolutely sure of it. You should play through one more time just to male sure.

>a good guy that was making sure you fulfilled your destiny

"hey man, my ring fell in this blender, can you turn it off so I can grab it?"

"no, reach into it and get the ring, it is your destiny"

fallout 3/new vegas thread bump.

It means
>kill urself, my man

>We all have our own destinies, and yours culminates here.

This has always been comic gold. I don't know if Bethesda playing it straight makes it better or worse.

They were saddled by the relic of having a definitive end to a game from the antiquated Fallouts.
This concept was alien to Bethesda and they struggled with implementing an inferior design.

They have since discarded this as it served no real purpose.

and the game still calls you a coward if you let one of your radiation-resistant companions press the button

why is everyone retarded in the capital wasteland? Is it the radiation?

fuck off game theory bitch.

>Can't just pop a rad-x to survive like colonel autumn did

>implying a Rad-X based on the effect it has on the user would give any amount of protection from that amount of radiation anyways if everyone exposed to it is dead within LITERALLY SECONDS
>implying people won't inevitably go "but that was in a cutscene user, thats different"
>implying I won't go fucknig ballistic and say THATS CALLED BAD VIDEOGAME WRITING YOU FUCKS

Fallout 3 is easily one of the worst videogames I've ever played and I will never know how it ever got the legacy it did.

why'd they write you over the you if it already said you?

>I will never know how it ever got the legacy it did.

It was pretty great at the time. Also the Tenpenny Tower quest was amazing and extremely redpilling

>It was pretty great at the time.

incorrect.

Seriously? I never finished Fallout 3

>extremely redpilling
Retard

t.coward

Why'd the write over top of the (you) if it already said that?

Fallout 2 didn't have a definitive end though? You could keep playing after the pil rig and even get the prima guide and get 300% in all skills or something.

“That’s what I love about Fallout: It doesn’t take itself too seriously because the reality is so frightening and so depressing… It’s that immersion thing; it’s keeping you in the game.”

“There’s been RPG games with guns before… I think people have been wanting something like that for a long time. Give me a game with the gun-play of Gears of War or Call of Duty with the depth of an open-world RPG”

“It’s almost a guilty pleasure for us. You’re in that game... fighting super mutants, and body parts are blowing up, it’s just a big joke. You know what I mean? It’s pure escapist entertainment.”

-Emil Pagliarulo, lead writer and designer behind Fallout 3, Skyrim and Fallout 4

Fallout 3 had a retarded story. no one's motivations, nor the actions they took made sense

I dont know why this made me laugh fuck

>extremely redpilling
What the fuck are you talking about, if you don't let the ghouls in you're the bad guy somehow

I will never not be mad you faggot.

Cambridge polymer and food paste are 1000x better than the main quest.

And if you do let them in, they ruin everything and murder everyone

That's what I mean, the game treats the ghouls as the good guys for some reason.
Bethesda are a bunch of hacks.

Refugees welcome

>/new vegas
please die

>fallout 3/
please remove yourself

The fuck you is an asset reused elsewhere in the game. They just couldn't be bothered to change it for one location.

...

kek

yeah but why they do that

because they are retarded, hence

Because you can find that "Fuck You" as a graffiti throughout the game, Bethesda just reused the texture because you should know by now they're lazy fucks.

Caring about Karma

>tfw there are infinite timelines out there where anybody other than Bethesda got Fallout

Three Dog and some NPCs still say the player is a bad boy even if you manage to kill them without losing karma.

>you could have lived in the timeline where Troika got Fallout

He didn't use a rad-x. You don't inject rad-x.

>EA got fallout on one timeline.

Agreed this is truly the best timeline.

>S.T.A.L.K.E.R. devs got the fallout on another timeline

Does anyone else think fallout is cringey? The games are just shallow memefests full of normie-tier humor and not much else other than poor writing.
"Haha nuka cola! It's funny because ur not supposed to drink radiation xD"
"LOL look at the funny man in all the stats pictures! He's so happy even though he's in a nuclear apocalypse!"
"The 50s were like sooooo cool I truly was born in the wrong generation :/"
"It's so deep too! There's a skeleton of a little girl holding a teddy bear. I shed manly tears when I saw that..."

Like another user said, you don't inject rad-x. It's some kind of crazy rad-res drug the Enclave has created so Bethesda could get away with retarded writing

>>www.reddit.com

But user you're just describing Bethesda's Fallout.
And no, Fallout 2 wackiness is just Easter eggs.

>Ubisoft got fallout on another timeline

>have him as companion when were at the end of the game
>oh no the chamber is irradiated
>think to the part where i had to get the GECK
>tell him to do it
>get a bad part in the ending

So telling the creature that's immune to radiation to go do the thing in the irradiated chamber is bad??????

Are Rad-X suppositories?

how terrible.

The writers were salty that people bitched about rad immmune companions not activating the filter so they put that passive agressive shit in the DLC as a take that.

t.howard

Why is 3 Dogmeat so OP when 4 Dogmeat goes down in a few hits?

>have Broken Steel dlc
>game just says the mutant goes into the chamber, and that the MC did a smart thing
Wew, Todd, had to patch in that bit of intelligent thought process, eh?

>t. only played beth*sda "fallout"

Because dog get hurt so sad :'( game made me do the FEELZ

>Write garbage
>get mad at the player when they want to ride the Great Eagles to mount Doom

My Dogmeat always died in 10 minutes of me finding him in 3.

Truly an adventure of the bizarre kind

Most of those existed before Betheada took over.

>using gay reaction images
ok buddy

If they rode the eagles to Mt. Doom the eye would have seen them and fucked their shit up, c'mon

IIRC Dogmeat dies easily when you don't have Broken Steel installed, but if you do, he levels up like mad and will have like 9000hp by the time you reach level 30.

The ending to 3 is retarded but Fawkes is a bro, no one really comes close to him in the later games

>him

fallout 3 and 4's stories are what you would get if they made a movie adaptation

aka shit

>want to play New Vegas again but just finished a complete playthrough and can't get interested in it
I kind of what to play 3, but I feel like it doesn't hold up and I don't think I could pirate 4 without getting a copyright infringement notice.

4 isn't even worth the bandwidth honestly.

Turn your brain off and play 3. Its fun

I pirated 4 and even though I paid nothing for it, I still feel ripped off.

I tried, but it just wasn't as fun. The buildings felt very copy pasted, Rivet City and Megaton are boring, that cannibal clan quest sucked, the endless tunnel repeats sucked, the pitt sucked too. That's as far as I got before I said "this sucks" and started my New Vegas play through.

The Pitt and Point Lookout are top tier. Additionally if you running TTW, Anchorage becomes slightly less aids than it is in vanilla Fallout 3.

How's this one then?

Fine, I'll try 3. Mod suggestions?

Not that guy but a bug fix mod is 100% needed, rest is up to you. TTW (Tale of Two Wastelands) is neato.

>install NV
>install 3
>install TTW
>view the TTW optional patches and install the ones you want
>play the game

This post took far too long.

One fun thing about vanilla anchorage is the chink suit breaking NPC behavior in hilarious ways.

Emphasis. This is just nitpicking.

Enclave improvement project. So your choices can actually matter

So new.

Everyone talks about Fawkes but people should be complaining about Charon.

>He's loyal to whomever holds his contract beyond question, and will do whatever his employer orders.
>Is exactly as resistant to radiation as Fawkes is
>'lol, fuck you'

Dat puppies perk doe.
>t. 3 is my favorite even if I know it's objectively worse
I just enjoyed it too damn much. Maybe too many hours and got burnt out. I think that's why I rushed NV yes man ending back then, so I'm replaying it now.
NV definitely has more depth, but I find exploration kind of lack luster. At least the invisible walls seem to be toned way down.

Rad-x is prewar drug tho.

This. 3 is my favorite but NV has better gameplay mechanics. 4 has even better gameplay mechanics, too bad it sucks.

Anyone have the r*ddit edit?

As much shit Fallout 3 gets (and deserves), it's definitely better than New Vegas when it comes to pure moment-to-moment exploration since that's Bethesda's strong suit

>Not posting the "mi wife's son found it offensive" version
Wew lad.

I wish Todd or whoever had sucked up his pride and set a long term deal with obsidian for 3d fallout and worked together. The best of both worlds. Beth kinda made it all possible, he should be proud regardless.

It's not that exactly. The original ending calls you a coward for not going in on the grounds that you made Sarah go in and die instead of you. Broken Steel just didn't add new narration to cover sending one of your companions in.

>“It’s almost a guilty pleasure for us. You’re in that game... fighting super mutants, and body parts are blowing up, it’s just a big joke. You know what I mean? It’s pure escapist entertainment.”
>body parts are blowing up
>it’s just a big joke
>You know what I mean?
>it’s just a big joke

The Enclave was right

Meh. I mostly agree his opinions. He just needs to be a better writer.
