other fun: in FO2, when you're in the Bucanneer's Den town, you know how the kids pick your pocket? Just remove everything from your inventory except for a think of plastique or dynamite with the timer set. The little scamps pick your stash, then get a nasty shock 30-60 seconds later, and you don't even get in trouble! So handy.

Alternatively, it may be the gigolo picture, which my 14-year-old ass ALSO was in Fallout 2. But I remember that one having a mustache because I remember thinking "why does it have a mustache?"
I also remember the tragic cards. They were fricking awesome. Their full name was something like Tragic: The Saddening or something. And they all had sad things on them. You didn't get to look at them, though. But your guy could get addicted to opening booster packs.

Think I'll have to make another, right after I finish, as an evil guy, so many fun opportunities missed. Car is best filled with the microfusion ammo for weapons like the plasma rifle. Believe you can also use the laser/plasma pistol ammo on it, but the ratio is poor enough that it isn't worth it. Arcanum is definitely worth playing too, if you can find a copy of it.

If you don't want to pick up the childkiller perk, you can also empty your inventory of everything except primed dynamite, then let them pick your pocket. 30 seconds later, and there's child guts on the walls.

been playing a lot of underrail, the retro indie rpg fans on the codex call "fallout 3" (one way street otm btw that place is like a fascist cell, depressing). conventional wisdom is that it has great skills/combat/crafting but the writing is lacking (compared to recent story-heavy stuff like age of decadence, the demo of which bored me stiff, and pillars of eternity, thirty hours of which bored me stiff) but i actually enjoy the writing a lot: there isn't very much of it (aha) and it's cliches, but characters (read: shopkeepers) are vivid enough for you to feel that you live in the place even if it doesn't have fallout 1 (let alone 2's) variety and scope. really the setting is closer to ultima underworld: one big dungeon peppered with communities of shopkeepers. (sneaking around facilities on the other hand recalls deus ex of all things: lockpicks, computer terminals, ventilation shafts.)
combat meanwhile is great, lots to do, lots to build to do it. much better, without hesitation, than fallout's, which was always either numbingly, prolongedly easy or impossible. audience is definitely hardcore 90s rpg fans (who are apparently also all fascists) so difficulty is v unforgiving -- not just the combat but the ease w which you can build an unworkable character (i didn't get anywhere until my third guy) -- though the experience system is terrific, and sneak-friendly: you only get it for picking up "oddities", sometimes carried by enemies but also hidden in locked containers and obscure trash piles and etc., so it's less slanted towards guns-blazing grinders than you'd think considering it's one giant dungeon crawl.

as for fallout 4 btw i haven't played it since the survival-mode patch or tried any of the dlc but about the release game at least the detractors were ultimately otm; codex piece linked upthread for instance is unchallengably damning. fun place to hang out for a while tho.
― le Histoire du Edgy Miley (difficult listening hour), Monday, 4 July 2016 02:38 (seven years ago) link
Now I have a good enough pc I want to play 4, having loved 3 and Vegas. Is anyone still playing? Recommend?
― "Stop researching my life" (Ste), Wednesday, 3 August 2016 14:17 (seven years ago) link
my recommendation is that you definitely play 4, especially if you like 3/NV. it is terrific.
― Roberto Spiralli, Wednesday, 3 August 2016 15:01 (seven years ago) link
it's worth at least skimming the rpgcodex review a little upthread, which is pretty much otm
i played all the main quest missions and a good chunk of the side missions and it was diverting but never particularly surprising. not nearly as good as new vegas imo, which remains my favourite of the newer fallouts

― qualx, Wednesday, 3 August 2016 17:54 (seven years ago) link
there are a lot of games out there which are really fun in the beginning but the longer you play them the more glaring their faults become. this probably describes most games. u see this a lot in steam reviews - someone will have 80+ hours played in a game but the review is terribly negative.
― Mordy, Wednesday, 3 August 2016 18:00 (seven years ago) link
Yes the general opinion of most just seems to be that it's a crap RPG but a great open world game.
It's 50% as well, so it's in the bag.

It's a fun place to visit. Definitely worth playing if you can get it on sale? I dunno I played a fuckton and then all of a sudden hit a wall and got bored with it - unfortunately after I sprung for the season pass. I keep telling myself I'm gonna dip back in but haven't yet..
― carthago delenda est (mayor jingleberries), Saturday, 6 August 2016 15:39 (seven years ago) link
i've been playing fallout 4 for a few months now and i'm starting to get tired of it and there's still a ton of the world i haven't even seen yet. it's funny how none of the new stuff is really mandatory so it ends up feeling exactly like fallout 3/new vegas unless you opt into that stuff. i've only done the structure/town building a couple of times when it was required for a mission and i almost never use power armor. i've got like five sets of power armor stashed around the map but i never really feel like i need to use it.
― na (NA), Monday, 7 November 2016 18:21 (seven years ago) link
it seems pretty even in quality with 3 and new vegas to me, which still shades as a disappointment for a next-gen game. it doesn't even really look much better than those games, and it's just as glitchy. i've still gotten a lot of fun out of it though.
― na (NA), Monday, 7 November 2016 18:23 (seven years ago) link
I enjoyed it while I played it but I accidentally stumbled into fighting for a different faction than the one I wanted to, and while I keep meaning to go back to it I just never do... Could never be bothered with the building stuff and I'm the same with power armour, like I'd store it for when I *needed* it but then just go ahead and not use it anyway

I have yet to get this and I'm a little intimidated now!
Is there a PS4 version with all the DLC crap yet, or are they still chunking out DLC?
― mh 😏, Monday, 7 November 2016 21:40 (seven years ago) link
My approach on these, if the game allows it, is to take a linear path through to the end, and then run around doing other junk for fun, little clean-up quests. If the narrative branches a lot, then I'll play through a second time instead of doing things post-game, and not concentrate on getting to the end.
I just remember figuring out back in the Fallout 2 days that there was one gun store that had a fully-stocked basement, a single dude working there, and virtually no penalty for taking him out as soon as possible. Running around the wasteland and just blasting everyone after that was a joy.
― mh 😏, Monday, 7 November 2016 21:43 (seven years ago) link
I think that's the thing that was missing from Fallout 3. It really needed a trail of venomous candy just under the surface urging you to become a complete sociopath. The promise of reconciling with your father, who is a force for good in the world, is bullshit. It's a dog-eat-dogmeat world out there. Even if you help your people, they'll end up exiling you anyway.
― mh 😏, Monday, 7 November 2016 22:22 (seven years ago) link
i basically already said this but i think if you enjoyed fallout 3/new vegas and are ok with a game that doesn't really add much new to those games except a new story and slightly better graphics, getting fallout 4 is worth it. i think i paid like $20 for a used copy and i don't have any regrets.
