Fallout Franchise

Played 3, NV and 4. Been meaning to do 1 and 2 but haven't gotten too it yet (and my pc is an old piece of crap.)

I've enjoyed all them, but would have to say that 3 kind of bores me now. New vegas just has more to offer for me with the story and setting and characters (and killing Legionaries never seems to get old.) I never tire of wandering the radiated desert and stirring up trouble with my snarky companions or playing the dlcs -- just not Dead Money.


I also really like 4.  Some settlement frustrations aside, the exploration and detail is more vast than in 3 and NV, the companions are less background static (not that Fallout is known for character development) and I'm immensely happy that I can cancel poorly-planned VATS shots now. The story isn't perfect but I don't have any real issue with it, even if it's a tad predictable. One of the things I really didn't like (aside from wonky dialogue setup) is how strict they were with the factions. In NV I could coast along the edges if I wanted to up until the end. They also lock Danse' content by faction, which is frustrating. I also don't like how romancable companions keep trying to hit me up after I've already said "No." But perhaps best of all, Fallout 4 has Deacon.

I've never sided with the Legion. I did all endings but that one. I did watch it because I was curious. No thanks. XD I can live without that achievement... Hating them is just part of the fun of the game. "Give me cause, profligate."

Oh, Dead Money. I like the idea, I guess, just not the gameplay. I've only played it twice -- the first time I had already been told it wasn't that good but wanted to see for myself. Yep. A nightmare. And then recently I was playing NV again and thought "Ok, Dead Money can't be as bad as I remember" no, it was much worse. I have no desire to play it again -- and I'm someone who greatly favors sneaking around.

Old World Blues is my NV favorite too -- it's especially fun with the Wacky Wasteland perk. Aside from the humorous characters and dialogue, it has a good amount of content and exploration for a dlc.

Started FO4 twice cannot get into it. Overall I like the FO games a fair bit but the issues that bug me remain as a staple through all games. I loath their mapping. Always have, always will.

...Yeah, you still might be. No ghoul romance for me.

Fallout 4 can be surmised with this simple meme.

I want something like that in Andromeda.

Just picture all the memes would appear with Preston and "Another colony needs your help" Andromeda guy fighting.

Some of my characters have done it for mercy, some of my characters because they're psychotics.

Sometimes out of mercy, sure. I'm more likely to end a Powder Ganger on a cross, though, because many (most) of my characters have been unwilling to suffer their continued existence. What can I say, I like being the "Powder Ganger's grim fucking reaper."

Forever. He was my first choice---and then no flirt options.  Whhyyyy? Maybe we should make a Deacon support thread. His friendship is still pretty warm and fuzzy cool, though, and he's my favorite companion. His numerous outfits never cease to amaze me.


Here's more Deacon:



Not the only one, no.  I ended up going for him (and MacCready) after Deacon was a no-go.

Heh. I like Preston too. I thought his romance was very sweet -- even if his "What do ya' need, babe?" makes me laugh.

Despite Hancock's drug use, I actually got along really well with him. He's one of those companions where I didn't have to really try to get his perk. I like that he's kind of... aggressively compassionate. ;D

No, I don't. I like to storm in with Boone, clear out the camp, and then free the hostages. Yeah, just realized you weren't talking about Nelson quest.  Pardon my dumb.
