The Legion doesn't really have a chance of surviving in the long term. The video points out that the Legion is basically a cult of personality around Caesar. It will collapse because Lanius is basically Stalin. The Legion will crumble because they don't have an identity beyond their old tribal...

50 being the bare minimum, if there is enough genetic diversity in the population. And according to the chat here, its 25. And according to Wikipedia, the number to sustain the Panda population at a 96% probability is 25-30. So 50 pairs would work, but it would involve planning and IVF...

Humans can't escape biology. We are still animals. My point is that inbreeding isn't an issue if there are enough people to start out with. There just needs to be enough genetic diversity. The problem with Vault 101 is that the people you see in the Vault quests are likely the only people left...

Subtlety works depending on the location. If it's Oregon and near the NCR, I would expect a more subtle plot like that. Also assuming literally anybody but Bethesda writes the story. But the Enclave was a powerful faction. The Oil Rig was basically a city. And if they have access to a facility...

From what I remember of biology, you only need 50 mating pairs and none of the organisms are related to keep inbreeding from happening. So a bunker with 50 unrelated men and 50 unrelated women could survive genetically for a while if they manage their reproduction. Dealing with food would be the...

This is true. I wish we had this as a choice in Fallout 3 instead of just shooting the poor bastard. Having the Enclave take the BoS place in FO4's storyline would have been interesting. People loving a slightly nicer version of the Enclave rathern than them killing everyone. But, that would...

I quite liked the vampires. It shows that someone at Bethesda actually has writing talent. Whomever it was that came up with it wasn't allowed to work it out fully, but it was a lot better than anything in Fallout 4. Just because Fallout is seen as a 1950s sci fi wonderl, but they had to have...

The Minutemen were a half baked faction. There's no definition to them. At least have them be dying and I prove myself then become the leader. But I should have to do something productive first. I don't mind the radiant quests so much when I need money for supplies. I'm going to clear some place...

I'd take generic over some random person running up to me offering me help when I don't want the quest. At least I actually had to seek out most of the quests in Oblivion. Or overhear them from some people talking in the world. Some random farmer didn't just go "save my friend from x". Granted...

When it comes to clunky and boring games, Oblivion is about as far back as I'm willing to go. There were some aspects of Oblivion I liked better than what has ended up in well everything after it. I miss being able to ask the bartender about some rumors then getting a quest out of it. Granted...

I haven't played enough of Morrowind to judge it properly.

I am with you when it comes to the human synths being clones or some such thing. My idea was they found a way to create synthetic DNA and grew armies of people in tubes. The tubes being hooked to VR and the people being indoctrinated into the ways of the Institute. Or they use Vault 75 as a...

Bethesda won't learn. So long as they have idiots like MrMattyPlays to call it near perfect and get a few million sales out of it. The last good game Bethesda made was Oblivion. Fallout 3 and Skyrim didn't even match that. And they're a AAA game studio. I've gotten more fun out of Dragon Age...

I'm ok with the radiant quests in Skyrim, kind of because they were there to make money. Using them to extend faction quests is good. It gives me money and something to do. But building the Minutemen around radiant quests was the laziest design for a main faction I have seen. Building...

Other than Sanctuary Hills and Warwick Farm, literally no where the game tells you to. None of the other areas make sense. Most settlements are located near people that can kill them, but they get attacked from across the map. Also the settlement system is a huge chunk of wasted potential...

This will be a bunch of musings I've had about games in general, but FO4 takes center stage in this... There isn't any way on a story/entertainment level that Fallout 4 excels in or even does more than OK in. I find the game play mechanics OK, they get they job done, no matter to what extent...

If I ran a development studio that made Fallout, I'd start by playing through Fallout 2. Then set a game around San Francisco and follow the NCR/BoS/Enclave Conflict from the stand point of the Shi. I'd keep the game mechanics around, mostly. I'd get rid of the lock picking and hacking bit...

Gods I just watched the Kottabos Games play through of this glorified mod. I don't see the need to waste money one this piece of crap. Hell, his commentary made the play through better than just playing it by itself.

The Settlement system has to be the biggest one for me. It's just a diversion. It would have been cool if building your settlements helped the Minutemen out and gave them more definition. As your settlements get bigger you get more quests to explore the history of the area and meet people. Maybe...

I've continued refining this story over the last few weeks. The big change was setting the story in 2260 rather than 2277. Also puts a starting point of the NCR-BoS War sometime in 2256. Oregon Nation is the Federation of the Willamette. They're nationalistic and the Enclave references are...
