  1. The Man From Nowhere

    Fallout Atmosphere

    I remember hearing this unsettling and extremely fitting ambient while I was playing detective and solving the Caravan ambushes around Vegas along with Cassidy and finding clues going to each site and discovering Van Graff and Crimson Caravan armor. It was the pitch dead of night doing this...
  2. The Man From Nowhere

    Which minor faction(s) would you make a major one?

    I thought it would have been cool to have the Vault 34 dwellers AKA Boomers play a larger role than they did - particularly alongside with the Independence ending. They're the closest faction in the Fallout Universe that comes to an out-wright Libertarian ideology. Peaceful and completely...
  3. The Man From Nowhere

    Would you guys like an anarchy ending?

    Independence ends up becoming something like New Reno surrounded by The Wild West. "Imagine New Vegas if there was no Mr. House - type fella keeping the peace, then give everybody a gun and a Jet addiction. Town's run by a bunch of crime families, no law to speak of. Make trouble, and you wind...
  4. The Man From Nowhere

    Fallout 3 remake mod Capital Wasteland is cancelled - surprises nobody!

    None of these remakes of the Fallout games are ever actually are released. They always end up being canceled. This didn't surprise me in the least.
  5. The Man From Nowhere

    Is the point of F:NV to "let go of the past?"

    NCR - Trying to bring democracy and the old USA back. Legion - Trying to bring monarchy and ancient Rome back. House - Trying to bring the mafia and Las Vegas back. Yes Man - Trying to bring the Wild West back. None of the endings are actually letting go of the old world and trying to...

    Mr. House - Fallout's take on an Ayn Rand Hero/Protagonist?

    ^^ Speaking of ShoddyCast had a video well worth watching on the morality of killing Mr. House
  7. The Man From Nowhere

    Liquid H20 Water - The Reoccuring Conflict of the Fallout Universe

    Fallout 1 - Retrieve Water chip for Vault 13 Fallout 2 - Arroyo suffers the drought. Must find GECK. Fallout 3 - Purify Water for Capital Wasteland. Fallout: New Vegas - Battle over Hooverdam - WATER Fallout 4 is the only one that doesn't seem to fit this theme - to my knowledge. Thoughts?
  8. The Man From Nowhere

    Karma system (Needed or wasted)

    Does The Courier know it's rigged to explode? If they don't, they shouldn't receive any karma at all.
  9. The Man From Nowhere

    Fallout Atmosphere

    I've always thought Fallout worked well as an atmospheric horror. What I have always noticed about any of the fallout (especially New Vegas) is that their soundtracks make you feel lonely, isolated, not knowing if you're either a step away from danger and conflict or if there's even life within...
  10. The Man From Nowhere

    Zetan Alien motives

    The LW took a stumble while roaming the Capital Wasteland tripped and hit their head, causing them to pass out and imagine they were on an Alien Spaceship. Like a Wizard of Oz all over again.
  11. The Man From Nowhere

    Is the point of F:NV to "let go of the past?"

    I'd even say the point of "legging go" is rammed in your face now and then. I wouldn't say it's solely about letting go of the past, but also about re-building and taking the best ideas and learning from mistakes of the old world. I've heard some from this thread say Independent Vegas is the...
  12. The Man From Nowhere

    "What Happened to the Mouse?"

    The main weakness of Tunnelers is lights - anything to do with lights and loud noises are their kryptonite. For that very reason something tells me New Vegas and all the surrounding areas are extremely Tunneler-Repellent :lol: Putting up more lights for extra caution would be a good idea and...

    Nicest Place to Live in the Wasteland?

    I'd honestly say Goodsprings of out everywhere else. A nice independent little sleepy town. :)
  14. The Man From Nowhere

    Fallout Atmosphere

    I just wanted to take the time to talk and create a thread about how awesome the whole atmosphere is in the Fallout universe. One big reason for this is the atmospheric score by Mark Morgan. The soundtrack gives the game a sense of mystery, creepiness, and death around the corner that the...
  15. The Man From Nowhere

    Unrelated to the main story DLC's or Connected?

    Which do you prefer and why? I'm speaking of the Fallout protagonist going off on their little adventures outside any influence of the main story, or the DLC more directly connected to what's going on in the original content. Most of the Fallout 3 DLC was completely unconnected to the main...
  16. The Man From Nowhere

    Honest Hearts...too trivialized out of the DLC?

    Honest Hearts for the dialog options alone made the Sneering Imperialist a perk worth taking.
  17. The Man From Nowhere

    Forshadowing Events

    If you persuade Ricky to leave the Happy Trails Expedition before it begins, he will become angry, saying he hopes they all get ambushed and die. In "One for My Baby" Boone trusts you to help him find out and kill the person who sold his wife into Legion slavery because you're a "Stranger"...
  18. The Man From Nowhere

    Dr. Madison Li's Fate

    In all of the endings she is either very unhappy or has an ambitious fate. The only somewhat ok ending for Li is if you leave her in the Institute and side with the Institute, as she is far more pissed off after re-joining BoS. Of course if you're going to blow up the Institute like The...
  19. The Man From Nowhere

    Honest Hearts...too trivialized out of the DLC?

    I thought this DLC added quite a bit of lore and a new Scenic location to explore with engaging tribal politics. Wandering the landscape of Zion almost gave vibes of per-Colonial United States or a bit after Europeans arrived as opposed to the Wild West of New Vegas which was pretty well done if...

    "What Happened to the Mouse?"

    The Followers didn't have an ending slide either in the case of a Mr. House victory. So what happened there?
