Why is it I could see you wearing the pip-boy exactly like that in FO4? Lol

Guessing you feel railroaded.

Kame, ride the train, hey, ride it, woo woo!
It's the Choo Choo, ride it, woo woo!

I felt exactly the same way

Wait, you play Fallout for the plot?

I play ALL games for Plot + Gameplay

I was asking Kame-Sama

thats sort of the thing. Fallout should not have a plot. the plot is created by your sudden blank slate random element character entering the world and suddenly changing shit.

this has a plot where you're already pretty goddamned central to the events of the game.

All I've done so far was scrap, build and explore, and I'm enjoying myself. Then again, I declined the plot-hook of "Go find your son", which is kinda hackneyed.

I disagree. There was a plot in Fallout one and two. Your character crash in it by roaming around and poking stuff that many think you should not touch.

Yeah but it was incidental to your quest at the time, the only real reason you end up going for said plot in the end is because at the end of it all it's going to affect your original home somehow (Super Mutant global conquest, the literal destruction of the wastes/tribals). 4 has the difference that you are very quickly shoved into a mainstream plot from the beginning.

Though I honestly can't remember what set off 2's plot, 1's had the Water Chip that took up most of the early game.

In Fallout 2, you are send to retrieve a G.E.C.K. to heal the earth as the land around your village is too sick to produce food and tends to make children got mutations.

Ah the G.E.C.K. Such an important device, but barely mentioned afterwords (though they did use it in 3 to purify the water, so I guess that's something)

It's mainly because Vault-Tec only made a small handful of them, but however many 100+ Vaults all over America. Plus Vault-Tec CEOs probably had one in a private, non-experiment Vault somewhere else.

actually they made a lot of them, just a 'shiping error' (hard to tell with the BS they where pulling with the vults) had like 99% of them all shiped to one vault.

so there is a vault out there filled to the brim with nothing but GECKs and no people in it, lol

The better question is..... Does Fallout have a plot? Or is it like a poorly planned porno like the Lemon stealing whores... xD

Cumbustable Lemons!

I'LL BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN........ WITH THE LEMONS!!! ~with love, Cave.
Best part of that game was Cave's monologue xD

i love that game. i have combustible lemons shirt

*dies laughing* holy shit why did I click that XD oh god XD .... porn usually has some of the most asinine plots and acting but oh dear god... did a porno seriously start with a full minute of horribly acted chatter about a lemon tree...... I'm kind of scared to find out how the rest of it goes.....

Hell yes!

Or in this case, does the ride never begin? <.<

Fun fact: While Mr. Bone's Wild Ride is the most popular 'never ending roller coaster' built in RCT, It's by no means the longest. It takes about 70 minutes for a full go on MBWR in real time.

Someone made an even longer coaster called The Wheel of Life and Death. This ride takes about 30 hours real time to complete.

The longest ride built in game to date is called Hell Spiral. It takes a whopping 210 REAL LIFE DAYS to complete.

This really doesn't have anything to do with your comment, but fun fact none the less

This has everything to do with my comment.

I never thought of Bethesda games as having good main plot it's always been what you scavenge and find throughout the world that lets you piece it together.

Ive actually been ignoring the train the whole way. I think the most ive gotten on it is the BOS, but.. still. Not even interested in it. at all. I was more interested in saving dad in 3 than this =w=

There's a plot in fallout?

Anyone remember Brink?

Good Plot/Story Setting = SHITE GAMEPLAY!

Yep

Kinda want a see a Brink2 now...

I remember Brink, mostly for the bugs but I don't necessarily believe that a good plot/setting story is the reason behind shite gameplay.

Just remember'n a time when Bethesda knew how to make worlds you wanted to be a part of.

Best way to wear a pipboy, so cute!

while I already beat fallout 4 (the brotherhood way) I have found the game is... too. fucking. short.

"so much content! (guns and things)" less then all the older fallouts.

"great graphics!" what? did you reuse the fallout 3 engine and just shine it?

"building!" takes FOREVER!!!

"stuff?" NOT ENOUGH TO BE A FALLOUT GAME!!!

"story..." every person who has ever played a fallout game could have done better.

god there are so many things wrong with fallout 4... sure its a "good" (and I use that loosely) game but damn it sucks compared to fallout 3 and even new vegas!!!

really the only improvement I could really give it is gunplay. it feels a quite a bit less clunky. which lets face it wasn't exactly important in previous fallout games.

and maybe style... I know people have an issue with it but I think it works for making the game survives aging longer.

yes indeed it is but I mean come on? a "few" guns and we have to mod them into "more" guns? that's pretty... cheap.

and the style, while its not "new" I do like it as it seems like old fallout 3, just updated.

I do think the crafting was probably one of the better handled aspects of it..Plotwise and dialogue...? not so much.

yeah, i feel that...it was crazily underwhelming,and alot of it was handled incredibly poorly, with a smaller world, and really, less variety almost then fallout 3. fallout 3 you were also central to the plot, but it felt a lot less forced and freeform. new vegas, outside its very short main story, had the best, with the most side content and side plots, and a far more engrossing world and main story. fallout 4 so far has left me very disappointed with my purchase, and hoping that doom 4 will be alot better.

Haven't played the game, but... I love this pic. It's like an old-timey political cartoon, only cuter.

Game is good but the plot and missions are very.... ehh...

I have yet to finish any Fallout...

at least you pirated it, right?

I haven't noticed any railroading. Sure Gogsworth tells you about Concord, and when you get Preston and the Settlers to Sanctuary, Preston tells you about Diamond City.

But after that, I've just been hanging back, building up my network of settlements and collecting any spare Powered Armor I find. Kind of made that Knight's offer feel weak: "You'll even get your own set of power armor." (You mean like the two I have stores at 'Vault 111?' (I only tell people I trust about Sanctuary.))

adorable and hilarious.

it

Personally, I feel that games in the style of Skyrim, Fallout 3, Fallout NV, and presumably Fallout 4, there should be no "main plot". What happens in the story imo should be based on how you react to the backstory and various happenings in the game. At least that's what I think the point of open world RPGs like those is.

Teddy bears got the most love in 4.

Oh, God, this feed is a spoiler minefield... I'M TRYING TO GO IN WITH A BLANK SLATE, DAMN IT. XD

I admit, I've had FUN with the game. True, the plot definitely could use some polish, but gameplay I've had a ton of fun with, and still want more.

Fallout 4 needs more Camp Navarro.

Given what I have read here I'll wait for a sale on a GOTY and a new rig to play it because Im just chugging along through Fallout 3 again and once Im done with that Im going to try and finish New Vegas again.

Fallout 1 and 2 cared about the plot. Bethesda cares about shooty shooty shoot.

I like the Cole Train better, honestly.
Then again, I don't know many who don't love the Cole Train.

i wanna play zelda spirit tracks now oddly enough XD
