    How much Van Buren material is still missing?

    Dependent on laws and the contracts between the employees who worked on the documents and Interplay and whatever was involved with Bethesda and Interplay's exchange as well. But I'd imagine it heavily depends on how whichever party with the rights to those documents feels about their release...

    Is there a mod to make all the raiders male?

    Some might, I'd wager at a lower rate than the men do. That's fine. But assuming that raiders would only ever keep the company of women if they were only there to serve a man's carnal desires is also just as far-fetched. I'm not saying raiders wouldn't welcome the concept but that when they keep...

    What’s your ideal post-New Vegas game?

    Both of these I agree with heavily. New Vegas is pushing very closely to the time periods where random threats become less of an issue and conflict between states becomes to focal point. Sure, there'd be the occasional mutant that threatens some small town right outside of protection of a state...

    Is there a mod to make all the raiders male?

    I don't get why it's the immediate assumption that women just become slaves or prostitutes in an apocalypse. I think there might be a through line there though for those who do think that would be the case.

    Stalker 2, announced

    STALKER games are great but definitely janky messes. There's a charm they have to them, well, maybe kick Clear Sky out of the family photo first (it had some good ideas but holy shit some stretches of the main story are god awful). The original trilogy wasn't even planned to be the games they...

    Starfield

    Yeah like between cities? Cuz most of them have "schedules" in their cities but that's what I was referring to being really lackluster. I kinda think STALKER games did this type of thing better because there's no pretense you should really pay much attention to the roaming people and squads...

    Starfield

    Yeesh lmao. Bethesda gonna stick to this ethos until at least Todd also retires. Honestly, I think they'd be better games if they just dropped a lot of the RPG-esque pretense they seem to enjoy having. Not saying the games as they exist would be better but that they'd have a better game through...

    Starfield

    Honestly, I think there are more and more people who play video games regularly who have been familiar with them for a decade now that don't care for a lot of their games to be super casual. People seem to be more goal-oriented and the games in the late and post-Xbox 360/PS3 era seems to show an...

    Starfield

    I don't think it's the fastest non-glitch speedrun method now but early on, there was a method that used the physics of random useless objects and duping them to climb. This reminded me of that but I forgot how it worked. I remember hearing about it back around release time but someone told me...

    Starfield

    "Inspired?" At most they would have been "inspired" by the Murder Inc. group having Brotherhood in their name and the lockpick minigame. Magical paintings and assassin guilds not showing the world their front door are nothing particularly novel to 1990. As for the lockpick minigame, it...

    Official NMA General Shitposting Thread

    I don't think this "unfunny Adderall-addicted editors" is really too derivative of Sseth but other Youtubers that popularized it. Sseth's style is not what I'd describe that way anyway. He's weird, shitposty, and esoteric at times but he's calm overall. These creators would be scared to make a...

    Having trouble dealing with the turn based real time thing

    I haven't played enough of Tactics to even remember exactly how the system works. But most cRPGs even those in real time with pause will still have effective "turns." In Tactics, I think it's similar to 1 and 2 but it's also got regeneration in real time mode. The base value of your action...

    The Ultimate Movie Thread of Ultimate Destiny

    The Dark Knight is a perfect movie, I'd give it a 7/7 which is pretty good considering that I wouldn't give any other movie anything above a 5!

    Chris Avellone examines the Fallout TV Series

    I think Jet is worse. Enclave makes a lot more sense despite what is said and gathered from Fallout 2. Is it a good thing? Nah but it's better than just making nonsensical inconsistencies. Enclave is a shadow/secret government operation, having members in and around the nation's capital isn't a...

    Chris Avellone examines the Fallout TV Series

    I don't remember exactly what he said but I remember it being this but also that it needs to have a good reason to break it. I'd agree with a contradiction or overwrite of previous establishments if both criteria are met. You need to be consistent with what you're saying now and you need a good...

    Chris Avellone examines the Fallout TV Series

    Painfully true on both sides of that to be honest Tim's answer to this shocks me zero though, because the primary message was that our need for resources and competition rather than cooperating and/or modesty (regardless of political or economical ideologies) will ruin the world one way or the...

    Fallout 1 or Fallout New Vegas?

    You're not wrong, Emil getting upset about the criticism was silly. I do agree if you're going to be in leadership positions you have to be willing to be the person that people will blame or send criticism towards for the outcome. I wasn't only talking about blaming or taking blame off, but also...
