At least lonesome road felt like an actual endgame. First time I played it I was in awe at how.... Final... it felt like this really was the last part of a story. Would have been amazing if Ulysses was an actual person through the main game who judged your actions and talked to you. At most we get hints about where he has been. LR really was the best DLC

The bull... and the bearrrrrrrrr... overly symbolic.... fragmented.... sentences...... I fucking hate Ulysses

[QUOTE=DeEz;51675155]The bull... and the bearrrrrrrrr... overly symbolic.... fragmented.... sentences...... I fucking hate Ulysses[/QUOTE] Disregarding his absurd lingo the points he makes are pretty interesting. Probably the only person in the FO universe to understand the insanity of it as well as how people in the US are clinging to the past whether they realize it or not. Just a shame he's a bit of an arsehole.

[QUOTE=DeEz;51675155]The bull... and the bearrrrrrrrr... overly symbolic.... fragmented.... sentences...... I fucking hate Ulysses[/QUOTE] Honestly, Ulysses just confuses me. I have no idea how someone like him actually made it into FONV intact. He is a ridiculously written Mary Sue who wouldn't be out of place in a shonen anime or a high fantasy. In a game full of generally flawed and nuanced characters that were down to earth in the long run, it didn't entirely make sense for Ulysses to be this all-knowing, all-seeing unstoppable juggernaut. Him having all the robotics of the Divide at his fingertips, knowing just about everything about everyone, outsmarting Father Elijah, outsmarting the scientists at Big MT with one oddly worded question, and then also having a long history of being this warrior-leader for a bunch of tribes and being one of the Caesar's Legion golden boys yet getting away unscathed rather than how Graham got away, seems to me to so strangely over-the-top, but then when you actually encounter him, he's in the middle of launching a nuke. Like, come on. He even has 1000 health and 10 in all specials.

To question why he's so OP would be to question why the player is capable of doing all the things they can do despite initially just being a courier. He walked the same path you did so why shouldn't he be that capable? Granted, you can argue as a player you need the tools and capabilities to act out the way you want in the world which is exactly how it should be, but it almost feels like a slight fourth wall-breaking jab at player agency.

[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;51675312]The foreshadowing, the enviroment, the enemies, the story, the everything was 10/10 in Lonesome Road. I wish I could forget all about it so I can experience it for the first time again.[/QUOTE] Stepping out from vault 101 for the first time. Nothing has yet filled that hole.

Just feels like a terrible character to me

So xilandro making some new interface that can edit stuff on the fly [t]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/images/130/1417653-1484181606.jpg[/t] Didn't know most of the commands but looks pretty useful. [url]http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/Images/104628/?[/url]

Uylsses just doesn't have the excuse of being the player character, who you see/make do all the cool stuff from the humble beginnings.

Ulysses = CHIM???

[QUOTE=_Maverick_;51675400]Ulysses = CHIM???[/QUOTE] Nuka Break = Dragon Break. It's been in front of their faces this whole time but he managed to figure it out.

[QUOTE=DeEz;51675369]Just feels like a terrible character to me[/QUOTE] so is the courier, in a conventional writing sense. it feels like ulysses was another roleplaying turbonerd coming to hunt the only other of his kind down. in terms of a breathing, functional person of the fallout world he's kind of a joke, but him and lonesome road were an [I]awesome[/I] finale to FNV as a whole, i think.

Really, Mothership Zeta still fits in with the series main theme of "retro future turned hell"; with how ridiculous the Zetans might be at first glance with how they scratch off nearly every stereotypical alien trope in the book but in reality most of them are rather vicious, they don't seem to have a discernible motive for the things they did for the last 600 years, and overall come off as really eerie. To top it all off, they have technology which would make even the Institute cower in fear. Oh, and these things they also made.

I honestly didn't hate ulysses. I get what people mean by his needlessly fragmented verbose dialogue, but i'm pretty sure I remember his whole mysterious sage act was just that, an act. The whole ~I know something you don't know but that would be telling~ shit he pulled was [sp] just a carrot on a stick to lure EDE and the courier within a certain distance of the temple, so he would be within range to hijack your eyebot and obtain the launch codes he needed to destroy the "failing" nations of post war America.[/sp] I mean the dude is clearly not right in the head considering he's an ex-tribal with some messed up fascination with "the message" you unwittingly delivered. After witnessing the destruction of his tribe and entire way of life by the legion first, then the destruction of a settlement he felt particularly invested in by the player and the creation of the divide second, I think it's understandable that he's gone a bit fatalistic and loopy. The dude has had the idea that, for better or worse, entire ways of life can be wiped clean and replaced beaten into him his entire life. I don't think a character's motives being insane necessarily means they are poorly written.

[QUOTE=_Maverick_;51675124] LR really was the best DLC[/QUOTE] Dead Money would like to have a word with you.

Dead money was very jarring for me at first. Going from endless player freedom and aimless wandering to tight streets with hazards you had to avoid in a timely fashion was a bit shitty for me at first, but once the ball got rolling and I started meeting ghost people and characters I started having loads of fun.

[QUOTE=Sableye;51675691]idk, i think if the institute invented quantum teleportation, synthetic biology, and extreme genetic manipulation, interstellar flight doesn't seem all that impressive.[/QUOTE] They also have access to nearly all those fields, and weaponry that hit much harder than a pea shooter. Don't forget that some pieces of human technology were thought to have alien origin (i.e: Skynet, the psychic nullifier, the various brain bots and biogel, etc).

The fog wasn't challenging, just annoying Those fucking radios where worse than a sandpaper dildo. Any the hologram security was absolute dick for me because I'm only stealthy in TES.

Anyone else having some trouble with NMM where it keeps deactivating certain texture mods? I've noticed some of them keep turning off when I start NMM up. Not sure if something is read only or not read only or what.

NMM sucks in general. They still don't have multiple deletion.

Is there a easy way to disable the "Are you sure?" message every time I go to scrap something in a settlement? I'd like to just tap R and delete something honestly.

Am I the only one who finds it quite disappointing that Bethesda decided to release only 2 actual story DLC's instead of the usual 5 and now they're completely done with fallout 4 like what the hell.

I'm honestly surprised i'm not even banned from nexus. I have like 20 accounts there.
