Fallout Thread V26: At least it's not a Nuclear Winter - Games

Is it pronounced Auto-mahtrahn or is it auto matron? :v:

I just want the free updates already (survival and creation kit) Robots are not enough to make me replay the game. Survival and mods definitely are.

I wonder how building robits will work, I'd imagine it will be similar to how upgrading weapons and armour already works, using the scrap system. Although I do kinda hope I'm wrong in that regard, and it'll function more towards you actually needing to find the parts off of robots already in the world. You want an assaultron head? You'll have to disable or destroy one to get it, with minimal damage to the head.

Sort of like Power Armour, except you get the "pieces" by killing Robots, take them back to a new workshop station specifically for building robots and start putting together bots.

Holy shit, months ago I thought of a mod that would let you mix different robot parts, and after all it happened, but as a DLC. And it looks bloody awesome

Does this mean custom modded robits will roam the commonwealth now?

Welp, I'm actually impressed by that trailer. Especially for something that's not a "full" dlc (like Far Harbor etc). Plus, it's releasing on the day I hand in a load of assignments so that's nice :v:

[QUOTE=TheRealRudy;49930755]just got home and the chance to watch that automatron dlc trailer. those custom made robot designs look really nice, especially that station when you assemble/modify them, and i really dig they brought back the same mechanist outfit from fo3 and updated it a bit. also, i'm curious what kind of device is the mechanist wearing on his wrist, some kind of different pip-boy? it would be neat if we'd be able to wear it too. [t]http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/b/b7/Fo4_Mechanist.png[/t][/QUOTE] It's probably meant to be part of the outfit that he uses to control the robots, and it's just on that wrist so that they can reuse NPC animations for the Pipboy. I doubt it'll be a replacement for the Pipboy that we can get. It would be nice if Bethesda could allow us the mod the Pipboy in an update, though, even if it's just different frames and paintjobs.

The Mechanist is like a robotic version of the AntAgonizer

[QUOTE=KaptonJack;49930790]The Mechanist is like a robotic version of the AntAgonizer[/QUOTE] Well considering he was her rival in that quest, that makes sense :v:

the beta invites have started going out

has anyone encounter a bug with the bobble head stands, for some odd reason it refuses to take any bobble head I currently have.

Whoa, just killed that guy that calls you a retard and Danse just completely started screaming at me for killing innocent people. The small details are always interesting to find out.

hah! I knew the skull faced droid in the promo would mean robots with real human skulls re-purposed as faceplates, that's awesome. Shame they just went with the usual zany super hero stuff for the mechanist, it's a little jarring seeing all of those terrifying Orky scraphead robots being lead by a guy in a dorky clean white superhero costume. obviously im not surprised, but still I feel it would have been way cooler if his suit was similarly patchwork and dangerous looking.

[QUOTE=fulgrim;49931066] Shame they just went with the usual zany super hero stuff for the mechanist ...[/QUOTE] Well to be fair, if he is actually just some guy that took up the character from the "Silver Shroud" comics, then isn't "zany superhero bad guy" exactly what he is? [editline]14th March 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=TheRealRudy;49930812]GARVEY[/QUOTE] Whichever one of you guys referred to him as "Pressed-in-Gravey", I simply can't read his name any other way now. :v:

Similar to how Sheogorath in Skyrim was heavily implied to be the Champion of Cyrodiil.

Who gets a Beta invite? Did we have to sign up for something or is it random?

[QUOTE=GHOST!!!!;49931198]Who gets a Beta invite? Did we have to sign up for something or is it random?[/QUOTE] There is a sign up. It is too late to sign up for this DLC, but if you sign up now you get a chance at the rest of the DLC. You also get to keep it for free if you get picked.

Already own the Season Pass, but if I can't get into this Beta then I'm not arsed. Plus I can't login to my account and I'm not getting an email about my account name or anything so, fuck it.

[QUOTE=DeEz;49931175]I wonder if he might actually be the Lone Wanderer. Similar to how Sheogorath in Skyrim was heavily implied to be the Champion of Cyrodiil.[/QUOTE] Nah in Skyrim that made sense as after becoming sheogorath it would make sense for any character of any race or gender to "appear" as the mirthful old man mortals associate with the deadric prince of madness when visiting the mortal realm. The lone wanderer exists in a sci-fi universe where no such magical explanation exists, there is no way for them to do what you are saying without making everyone's characters non-cannon, and that's something i think everyone wants to avoid.

The continents have drifted, technology has climbed and fallen again, and it now resembles magic more than anything. There is nirnroot on the Prydwyn. Who knows, maybe dragons are further evolved deathclaws. Cats exist, maybe somebody made a race out of them? Tunnelers from new vegas could be argonians.

[QUOTE=Itauske Roken;49931467]Nirn has two moons :v: *shotgunned*[/QUOTE] Plus from what I remember the moons are actually the sundered corpse of the fallen god Lorkhan who fooled the gods into creating the planet and the mortal reality in the first place, plus people gotta remember, the plane of Mundus, the planet Nirn is pretty much located in a dimension enclosed in void beset on from all sides and located inside the realm of Oblivion, "Space" isn't even a thing. The sun and stars are [I]literally[/I] punctures in reality, the Elder Scrolls universe is so completely different I still don't see why people can even think the two could ever possibly be connected.

It has a completely different colour and leaves. There are some similarities such as the project name, glow and both grow near water but that does not mean they're the same plant. A single reference does not mean they're the same universe.
