When did you realize it's the best RPG ever made?

When did you realize it's the best RPG ever made?

Either when I failed a quest because the NPC spontaneously died or when I was struck by a satellite cannon after I left the general store, knocking me off my feet, then finished off by the citizens of the town who were extremely angry with me for getting blasted on their turf.

It's not often a game has such realism.

It's no Morrowind me foine bucko but it's the second best by a hell of a margin.

After playing the dlcs. Dead Money is art in vidya form.

BLUE MOOOON

YOU SAW ME STANDING ALONE

user, that's not Oblivion

Hey pals, what's timescale and hunger/thirst/sleep increase rates do you use in New Vegas?

Dead Money > Honest Hearts > Old World Blues >Lonesome Road

This is the objectively correct opinion.

Old World Blues is the worst though.

Old World Blues isn't great but it isn't as bad as some of you make it out to be.

WITHOUT A DREAM IN MY HEART

I agree 100%. The worst thing is the DLCs are the best part of the game and are all gimped by the shitty engine.

Waifu suit makes it all worth it.
>Will you love me if I help you hide?

I can get behind that but I like honest hearts slightly better

Same could be said for Lonesome Road, it really depends on whether you get more annoyed at penis jokes or BEAR AND BULL.

One penis joke VS stopping you at least 5 different times to give you that BEARBULLBEARBULL shit

By "penis jokes" I meant basically every joke they make, which is about every line.

Lesbian formography with Dala is top tier though.
Also the twist is pretty good.

WITHOUT A LOVE OF MY OWN

Fair enough. Personally the jokes don't annoy me as much as they annoy some other people, and I think the 'le reddit' complaining is blown a little out of proportion.

I haven't played many RPG's but it's my favorite. Does that count for realizing it's the best?

When I walked in on Ceasar's gang and actively made the decision not to attack him because the writing and acting made me scared shitless of him.

>objectively
its a Sup Forums found a new word in the dictionary to shitpost episode

>not blowing his head off the first time you get
Obliterating everyone at the fort was the highlight of my first playthrough.

When I somehow managed to play past the 1000 hours mark. I'm still playing. Such an amazing game.

I know right! I love the realism of my game crashing multiple times despite patches and mods. I also adore how quests can break so easily despite being part of the main story or lengthy side quests. Dont forget one guy and one girl voicing 95% of the characters and a slideshow ending to boot!

FELLAS
i need ideas for a cool playthrough
i was thinking maybe explosives only NCR playthrough
good plan?

Fuck yeah.
My explosives run was the most fun I've ever had with this game.

Download CCO and the more perks mod and do some crazy wacky build.

DM > OWB > HH > LR

Tribals are the worst part of Fallout.

This man spreads lies

honest hearts was so boring

Old world blues is fucking cancer. Aside from the Reddit "humour", the landscape is extremely fucking bland and full of bulletsponges. The stealth suit is a cute, but made useless by the fact that it's medium armor and all stealth perks are for light armor. Also, the fact you can't permanently shut down the giant roboscorpion and are forced to fight it despite the robotics expert perk saying "permanently shut down ALL robotic enemies." is bullshit

>coming back from comfy Zion to the rough, uncaring Mojave
breaks my heart lads

>Survival system is shit
>Faction choices don't matter
>Graphics and game mechanics are copy pasted from 3
>Shitty orange Instagram filter
>Game crashes every 15min
>Need to mod the fuck out of it to make it less shit, which just makes it crash more.
Yeah nah

When it finally stopped crashing.

When I realized I could trick a girl into running blind into an artillery barrage for no other reason than because it was funny

Currently playing this game. Love all the factions, the gun mods, the variety in enemies, the music and the lore. On the other hand, I didn't like the shift in pace once I started approaching Vegas (just after meeting Veronica on the bridge where you meet the gun runners).

Vegas itself was a bit of a dissapointment, seems like a lot of stuff with not much to do, and things got very dailogue heavy (since the last real actiony part is Boulder City which I resolved peacefully, it's just been the odd Radscorpion and Coyote along the road).

Fantastic was one of the funniest characters I've come across in a video game, guy had me in stiches and it was the best quest so far in the game. The power plant had an actual history to it and was lore-heavy, plenty to do, and in the end you made an important decision for the future of the Mojave.

Come Fly With Me's ending was worth it as well, watching ghouls fly to the moon was satisfying.

tl;dr
>First playthrough, game is great, not enjoying Vegas,
>Kinda miss Fallout 3s more millitary base focused areas, and having the Enclave as enemies

Joining Joshua Graham and becoming the wrath of God.

I didn't care for Dead Money at all. Great atmosphere, but stripping the player of their gear in order to challenge them is just lazy, and the constant attempts to force the player character into a box of self-interested greed ring a bit hollow

Tribals are terrible. Heavily sardonic 50s retrofuturism is what separates Fallout from the pack of postapocalyptic media, and tribals dispense with all of that for some vaguely Native American themes which lack all the normal Fallout charm.

I liked Dead Money, but i agree on the forced thing. Every character in it acted like you were a greedy bastard after the riches of the Sierra Madre but the first time you play you are not even aware of what's the Sierra Madre when you enter that abandoned bunker.

lol nice samefag, nobody cares.

I liked the Tribals in honest hearts because they actually made sense with how they came to be. Unlike the Tribals in fallout 2 where you are expected to believe that people coming out of a vault went savage in 2 generations.

It's definitely a bit much when you can be playing a literal saint and yet still have to sit through endless lecturing about the perils of your material greed.

I get that it's a clever commentary on the average PC's ravenous hunger for bottlecaps and loot, but c'mon.

The fact that you actually can make it out of the vault with all the bars is just the cherry on top.

thats the other way around

when i could sneak to the hospital outside New Vegas and get INT upgrades at lv1

I didn't even watch the trailer nor read about it beforehand, so when i started hearing Vera's message on the radio i legit thought it was some kind of new vegas wannabe community, built around a casino or something.

I was honestly surprised, because no one in-game actually talk about "great riches" in the Sierra Madre until you are actually there. Vera's message only talks about the opportunity to "begin again", which i thought was promoting some kind of vacations.

rpg games are for soyboys that cant play real games that take skill

DUM DUM, DUH-DUH-DADA DUM DUM

LR is the worst thanks to being lineal and having the worst character in all fallout games, Ulysses

reminder

whats a fun build?

It's a build that you find fun to play.

the most fun build is the most generic build, guns and speech
meme builds like unarmed and explosives get boring quickly do to the lack of variety

Not even the best Obsidian game

Y...yeah... Fallout new vegas.. Is pretty good...

>ulysses in old grandma form
kill yourself

Literally never happened to me, but FYI, Beyond The Beef is very over-hyped.

when Sup Forums kept telling me so every day.
i played it multiple times and wrongly thought it was pretty fucking awful.

Anons have been (mis)using that word for years. Same as "literally".
