I think they do play out without the Brotherhood... AFAIK the two BOS encounters (on the surface) in Fallout are optional, and possible to miss; might be the same with Fallout 2. I don't recall being forced to visit the Brotherhood bunkers in Fallout 2... though I might be mistaken. In fact...

I haven't played FO4, but I believe it's comparing the speech skills of the two games, not combat accuracy. It doesn't need to show the skill percentage in Fallout 1 or 2; those are on the Skilldex. But do FO4 skills max out at 95% with any ranks above 95% being only used for reducing penalties.

Bethesda cannot abide having their games ever be an RPG, because an RPG imposes character limits, and (rightly) locks off content based upon player choice (, and ideally occasional random events).

What about it doesn't make sense? (In context, I mean.) —for context: The setting was to be a manifestation of the future as anticipated by the 1950's pop culture; complete with its own —different— physical laws of reality. IE. a bit like this...

I once read about a developer team working on a first person maze/or dungeon game, where during testing they encountered (a moderately abstract) drawing of Jesus upon the wall. {!?} It turned out that unrelated textures could produce the image when they appeared adjacent in the maze. In...

There is a scary easter egg in the Fallout 1 credits menu. During the credits, type: boom This will play a short video clip of the lead programmer's head exploding into chunks. He didn't know about this... he discovered it one day while trying to determine why the credits menu was making...

The interesting thing is that the filth is separate from the level texturing; implying that —at least potentially— some of it could be programatically removed during play. I do wonder if at one time it was intended by someone that the Citadel gets cleaned (like as result of a quest trigger)...

They are living in it, and they are casually doing push-ups in the yard. They are having officer meetings in rooms with trash on the floor, and doorways that are rotted or torn in half on the hinge. No. Bethesda designed these spaces, and were clearly okay with them. They are more concerned...

Is that personal opinion? The problem is that from the outset Bethesda has diminished the Fallout NPC personalities, dignity, and pragmatism. Under Bethesda they are all basically nuts; nothing at all like Aradesh, Killian, Vree, Butch, Maxon, or even Harold——especially Harold. It's a...

It's an unfair argument killer, but I have always ignored and discredited any Bethesda addition to the lore whatsoever. :smug: But even so, their retro-fiction is still a transparent means to an end; they require bottle-cap money solely because Fallout had it, not for any other reason...

The Washington monument has a small platinum ball on top of it, it's platinum because at the time aluminum was too expensive. :eek: _____ Bottlecaps are usually steel or aluminum; that can be found anywhere in a city.

Home made crimps are common, some fit in a shirt pocket; if it was the equivalent of printing money, their use would be wide spread. There was this guy known for hand inking $50 bills, because he could. The point is that there is no in-world justification for the poor choice to use caps as...

One of the differences to consider is the availability of bottling crimps in the center of a desert, as opposed to access in the center of the nation's capitol city. It would be easy to make bottle caps in a major city. If the caps were accepted for trade, people would make their own counterfeit...

So... Bottlecaps were backed by the Hub's water merchants. Bottlecaps in DC couldn't have been. The Hub is in the middle of nowhere; DC was the nation's capitol. DC would have had access to coins; they could have used US dollars, foreign coins, bus tokens—even arcade tokens. They used...

Well the President was on the rig, and the Enclave seems to have had only one forward base; Navarro—as implied by the Enclave communications operator's utter surprise when he traced the PC's incoming signal. The impression was that that was their extent into the mainland.

Sad but true.

This contradicts the the dev's own statements, and recollections. Leonard Boyarsky set the style.

I believe that I read that they were prohibited from using Area 51 as well.

Starts out like a theme for a D00M level. _________________ @Topic:
