Fallout Series Thread V14: When i entered this thread i was hoping there would be more gambling - Games

[QUOTE=Fhenexx;46504044]If they do make a new engine, I hope they make it as moddable as Gamebryo is. For as buggy as the games are, you can mod them to hell and back and that makes them almost my favorite games[/QUOTE] This is what bugs me about people who say "Switch to UE4!" "Switch to Crytech!" Switching to those engines gives up the amazingly modular system Bethesda's had since forever, and would completely gimp modding and the modding community. People would probably find solutions, but it would never be the same.

[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;46503555]Maybe after Skyrim they saw that Creation wasn't going to cut it in the future and started working on/with a new engine.[/QUOTE] Creation wasn't that bad so they're probably not gonna scrap it It had problems but not nearly enough to warrant spending even more time making a new engine, they're probably just gonna improve on what they had

[QUOTE=Pops;46493112]true, they aren't related plot-wise but there are little throwbacks and what not to fo3 in fnv, considering fnv takes place like what, a few years later right?[/QUOTE] the problem is the legion supposidly controls everything up to the mississippi, which means someone's keeping them from crossing there, and thats a lot of territory to cross, only the brotherhood really could do it

Anybody here feel like tale of two wastelands almost adds too much content? I'm already like level 35 and I still have four dlc to go through, plus both games' main quests.

[QUOTE=HWECQI;46504113]Creation wasn't that bad so they're probably not gonna scrap it It had problems but not nearly enough to warrant spending even more time making a new engine, they're probably just gonna improve on what they had[/QUOTE] but creation is like 5 years old now, itd be like valve releasing hl3 on source, it works but its not what it could have been

[QUOTE=Sableye;46504182]the problem is the legion supposidly controls everything up to the mississippi, which means someone's keeping them from crossing there, and thats a lot of territory to cross, only the brotherhood really could do it[/QUOTE] The Mississipi? Where's it say that, I always thought they were more or less confined to the four corner states

[QUOTE=HWECQI;46503030]theres a complete difference between developing a game and publishing it bethesda and their development and writing team didnt have anything to do with New Vegas, but they had everything to do with Fallout 3 so no, they didn't develop New Vegas which is what I said, theyve only developed 3[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Janus Vesta;46503162]There is a huge difference between Bethesda Softworks (the publisher) and Bethesda Game Studios (the developer). Bethesda Game Studios had pretty much nothing to do with New Vegas (sans the engine and a few assets).[/QUOTE] never did i say bethesda developed new vegas they published it, as in the game was released under their name.

[QUOTE=Starlight 456;46504112]This is what bugs me about people who say "Switch to UE4!" "Switch to Crytech!" Switching to those engines gives up the amazingly modular system Bethesda's had since forever, and would completely gimp modding and the modding community. People would probably find solutions, but it would never be the same.[/QUOTE] Thats why I think they should make their own engine. Too many people discount that option when it's totally available. Bethesda has the money and they can make an engine that can suit all their needs: open world, first/thirdperson, modular plugin mods, and formatted similarly to Creation so mod makers and the developers will be familiar with the engine and it's tools.

[QUOTE=Ardosos;46504185]Anybody here feel like tale of two wastelands almost adds too much content? I'm already like level 35 and I still have four dlc to go through, plus both games' main quests.[/QUOTE] yeah. i intended to play through FO3 first, then move to NV. turns out my character was pretty much complete by the time i reached vegas, so i stopped there. i even had a mod that reduced xp to compensate for this, but that didn't do jack shit.

Playing the NV side should set you back to lvl 1 with lvl 1 stats.

[QUOTE=Falkok15;46497280]Well, are there .NIF plugins for Max 15?[/QUOTE] Sorry just saw your post now. I do not know and I will take a look for you. I use Max 2012 as I feel the new features of later editions do not really help me, and I feel there is less support for older games I work with.

[QUOTE=UnidentifiedFlyingTard;46490968]I didn't look down on people for liking things I don't. [editline]14th November 2014[/editline] But come on, even if you like Fallout 3, you have to admit the plot is just not very good.[/QUOTE] I'm sick of this though. It isn't very good, but it is hardly bad. It just doesn't stack up compared to New Vegas, but it is excellent compared to, well, damn near any other video game. It isn't award winning storytelling but I am tired of people treating it like it is asinine. Bethesda fans have some obscenely high standards.

how does a company even make their game moddable? Like, wouldn't you theoretically be able to jump in and add files into the system, or do some companies make it so that the game doesn't accept any files other than what it ships with?

Like, wouldn't you theoretically be able to jump in and add files into the system, or do some companies make it so that the game doesn't accept any files other than what it ships with?[/QUOTE] It's mostly a matter of programming the game so that it can dynamically expand and accept unofficial "modules" of content gracefully rather than being hardcoded to load specific files and only those files. It's also usually important that some sort of development kit or API is provided to make modding easier by allowing modders to easily interact with the game's existing core systems.

And I would not consider myself a Bethesda fan, since I don't like the way they make RPG's.

So I just blew up the brotherhood of steel bunker in hidden valley for mr House and wen't back inside to see the damage. Somehow two of them were still alive inside the rubble.

[QUOTE=BananaFoam;46505152]it is excellent compared to, well, damn near any other video game.[/QUOTE] Wow you must play some really shit video games

did they ever say what happened to the Mississippi in fallout? it sounds like it could be really cool. supermutants sitting on broken airplanes playing the true detective soundtrack

[QUOTE=Cone;46505650]did they ever say what happened to the Mississippi in fallout? it sounds like it could be really cool. supermutants sitting on broken airplanes playing the true detective soundtrack[/QUOTE] Nothing iirc. The wiki says there was something planned for Mississippi in Fallout Tactics 2 tho.

[QUOTE=Ardosos;46504185]Anybody here feel like tale of two wastelands almost adds too much content? I'm already like level 35 and I still have four dlc to go through, plus both games' main quests.[/QUOTE] It would be a good idea to do a lower intellegence character and take the skilled trait, would prolong how long it takes to build up experience and skill points in the longrun.

[QUOTE=Smashing Good;46501744]I was playing Fallout 2 when something weird happened. Granted, vanilla Fallout 2 is a pretty buggy game but still. Vic had just taken an assload of damage and had run away from the battle. I beat the raiders, but after the battle Vic kept saying 'I want no part of this!' All over and all over again. I went to Vault City, he said he wanted no part of this. I got into a fight with radoscorpions, he ran away from the battle. I waited a mighty fuckload of days waiting for Marcus to heal, and Vic kept saying 'I WANT NO PART OF THIS.' The strangest thing was, Vic kept following us around and shit. Of course, him repeating the same line all over and all over again meant that I couldn't access his inventory. I imagined my character worriedly talking it over with the rest of the guys--Marcus, Cassidy, Lenny and the rest, and after some tearful deliberation, we took Vic to the middle of the desert and capped him twice in the head. Clearly, bullets to the head had messed his brain to the point of no return. RIP Vic of Vault City, you will forever be remembered for your slow ass and your achievement of fixing that one generator in the Toxic Caves. P.S, Sulik is better. But yeah Fallout 2 is a great game you should all totally play it[/QUOTE] Record it please. We need a new fallout meme.

[QUOTE=cdr248;46505860]Nothing iirc. The wiki says there was something planned for Mississippi in Fallout Tactics 2 tho.[/QUOTE] i guess point lookout will do. really kind of weird how sick awesome it is for something from the guys who produced mothership zeta like a month later. the lovecraftian stuff all over the place, angry brains in jars, zombie spies with moustaches, decaying concentration camps manned by 200 year-old robots, probably the coolest thing to come out of Fo3 aside from Liberty Prime

[QUOTE=Sableye;46504191]but creation is like 5 years old now, itd be like valve releasing hl3 on source, it works but its not what it could have been[/QUOTE] Bethbryo was WAYYY older and they still used that for about 3 games. I doubt that's gonna stop them now. Not saying they shouldn't make a new engine but it's just very very very very unlikely that they will [editline]16th November 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Pops;46504410]never did i say bethesda developed new vegas they published it, as in the game was released under their name.[/QUOTE] No you didn't, but my original statement was "Fallout 3 is the only game they have developed." You replied saying "but New Vegas was published by them so it's one under their belt." Paired with what I was originally saying, that's completely wrong because publishing is not the same as developing. They DEVELOPED one fallout game which is what I was saying. They OWN two, but that's not what I was saying. [editline]16th November 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=ClarkWasHere;46504766]Playing the NV side should set you back to lvl 1 with lvl 1 stats.[/QUOTE] It doesn't do this, it gives you a chance to edit your face and change your name and that's it, it doesn't reset anything

[QUOTE=ElectricSquid;46485223]I love how you guys whine about this shit but you willingly expose yourself to it so that you can whine more.[/QUOTE] I don't see how browsing the front page of the only mod site I know to get mods that have nothing to do with shitty MLP mods is willingly exposing myself.

[QUOTE=HWECQI;46506380] It doesn't do this, it gives you a chance to edit your face and change your name and that's it, it doesn't reset anything[/QUOTE] Read the post. I said it [I]should[/I], not that it does. Apparently, that was also a bad idea, so then how the hell would you guys fix the issue of being level 50 by the time you hit Goodsprings in TTW?

Apparently, that was also a bad idea, so then how the hell would you guys fix the issue of being level 50 by the time you hit Goodsprings in TTW?[/QUOTE] Oh woop, I could probably use the bad reading rating All you'd need to do though is rework the experience system and make it so each quest gives you significantly less XP. Or conversely, you'd make the starting area in New Vegas more challenging from the start. It wouldn't really be fair to suddenly have all your leveling reset especially since you're meant to be able to travel back and forth, and players would feel kind of cheated

[QUOTE=Blooper Reel;46495952]interesting info[/QUOTE] The project lead doesn't respond well to criticism? Well shit, I coulda taken one look at his haircut and told you that.

TTW is brutal. [t]http://i.imgur.com/o5UZLXm.jpg[/t] There's two more off screen. Needless to say my companion died and I died shortly after.
