Returning to the subject of retcons... In FO1 the Vaults closed while the nukes were flying. In FO3 Vaults were closed well in advance, which...makes some sense but creates problems with the whole experiment thing. Now in FO4 the Vaults again closed while the nukes were flying. And since people...

At this point it should be obvious that we can't discuss canon without accepting that FO3 overwrites the first two games. If we want to take potshots at Beth's shoddy writing we should point and laugh at incosistancies within FO3 and FO4. Not that it's that hard. Biometric seals anyone...

New Vegas treats FO3 as canon, and in the dialogue with the soldiers they mention the "radiation turns ghouls into feral" thing. Are you going to ignore it because FO3 it's not canon to you?

They "can't"? They couldn't not make Camp Searchlight? "Ehi Jack, we have become Ghouls, the area is irradiated and if we absorb more radiation we'll go feral. What should we do?" "Let's stay here" ----- "Ehi Srgt. Astor, those ghouls are trying to enter Camp Searchlight. We should stop...

Is specialized equipment needed for that? Because if it is the Vault might not have it. The point, I think, isn't what would happen in terms of breeding but how would such a lopsided population would react to the situation. Do you find it strange? :eyebrow: "Mr" Handies are comfort goods...

A bug? I am shocked. SHOCKED!

I found a guy asking for water, even not purified one, while sitting literally 5 meters from a large body of water. Ooooo...kay? :eyebrow: Also during the quest at ArcJet System thanks to his Power Armor. ...except that he wasn't wearing the helmet.

Eh, for the moment I had to lock the framerate to 30 because otherwise it would give me a headache with all the jumps it did, and downgrading graphics or view distance helped only marginally. Really shoddy work in terms of performance. Anyone remebers this? :lol...

For me FO3 had tons of physics glitches and a LOT of console freezing. New Vegas instead, had a couple of broken quests and a LOT of console freezing (both on PS3).

Why? Everyone has the same juvenile thoughts when they hear of it, but it's actually an interesting idea. What would happen? I'm not sure what you are trying to say here. The first three you mention are all social experiments and the genetic experiments I don't think were originally part of...

Uh...no. I can because the Vault experiments shown and described in FO2 and the Fallout Bible were social experiments (a Vault with 1 man and the rest women, a Vault without entertainment tapes, a Vault overstocked with weapons and no locks, and so on) whereas Bethesda added nonsensical military...

Wow, 86~88 Metacritic? I'm really surprised, even though I doubt it will have any real impact on sales. Still, I wonder if this will impact their decisions for TES6 and FO5. What? :confused: Bioshock Infinite went ridicously overbudget and if take Two didn't sent Rod Fergusson to rein Levine...

Wait, did she also gain height before entering the armor? O_o

For sure, wether they wanted it or not their hands were tied. Point is that you can't treat FO:NV as canon and FO3-4 as non canon when, whatever the reason, New Vegas did. And Feral Ghouls are a quick and simple way to prove that.

Yes, and the reason is that Obsidian treats FO3 as canon. If I have limited time and resources and I am interested in preserving canon (Fearl Ghouls are a f---ing big change) I would have rather done "canon" ghouls than modelled infant Deathclaws, Alpha Male Deathclaws, mother Deathclaws (how...

How did you do it? I gave him one and he doesn't put it on. He says that even if he doesn't wear it. :\ Wait, where did that poster appear in game? I don't remember ever seeing it.

Why didn't they replace Feral Ghouls with another already-in enemy then and put a few "feral" ghouls as intelligent ones like in FO1-2? Why Jet doesn't work nor is treated in-universe like in FO2? Why there's an image of Liberty Prime in Camp Golf? Why ED-E has a recording of an Enclave...

New Vegas obviously treats FO3 as canon (just look at the Feral Ghouls) so now Vaults officially are "everything goes" experiments without a concertrated goal.

I think it was in the Fallout Bible, and surprisingly the Vault 111 experiment makes sense with that explanation in mind.

I >think< the idea is that the Vault-Tec guy had been informed by the higher ups that the bombs were on their way and he had to convince any family he could to join the vault. Even taking into account Bethesda mediocre writing to me his dialogue was too self-aware otherwise. Also the overseer...
