    Fallout 2 mod Fallout 2 Restoration Project 2.3.3 (Unofficial Expansion)

    I had an issue with the Restoration patch, quick rundown: Playing and saving like usual Game sound cuts out after one save Restart computer Won't boot, blue screen of death, crashes to Bios Run the launch fixer and remove my sound card Computer finally boots Open FO2 and the resto mod isn't...

    Feminism and why it's bad.

    Sander did nothing of the sort and in fact did just as you did - did not even deign to address most of the points I made and dismissed them out of hand. "How quaint". Smugly asserting superiority as self evident doesn't really work to convince anyone your side is correct, except impressionable...

    Feminism and why it's bad.

    Dude I'm just bored and want Sduibek back. But yeah, conversations can arise from the most innocent things. In fact I only;y really got into this because I think it applies to the Fallout world in a big way, otherwise I would take political conversation to a more appropriate forum.

    Feminism and why it's bad.

    I agree entirely, so I'm trying to find the hair that splits us. I think it may be that you think flexibility = equality, while I don't. @Sander I don't agree that gender segregation of tasks is highly suboptimal or uncomfortable - in fact, this goes far beyond genders, this applies to...

    Feminism and why it's bad.

    Sounds like a Vault experiment is the only way to solve this Crni, maybe Vault-Tec was right! In all actuality, I think the takeaway here is still off the mark. Of course when you need to survive, anyone could attempt to do anything, to fill any role. But what is optimal and comfortable? That's...

    Feminism and why it's bad.

    Then I phrased it clumsily, since the former is more in line with what I was trying to emphasize. Of course they are individuals. And when I say completing, I mean it mutually, not one sided. Two dots where a single was, halves of a whole, Plato's Symposium and how humans originally had four...

    Feminism and why it's bad.

    I disagree for points I have outlined above. What gender norms are you referring to, and how recent is recent? Women have ~70% the muscle mass of men and smaller frames on average. Furthermore, they have more higher amounts of fat to muscle compared to men, meaning that a man of equal weight...

    Feminism and why it's bad.

    Agreed. Women can hunt birds and small game just as effectively as men. But I was more talking about the dawn-of-society or rebuilding-of-destroyed-society in which the contrivances of gender roles appeared in the first place. I'm talking about large game hunting, mammoth, elk, predators like...

    Feminism and why it's bad.

    Ignorance is never good, which is why I don't believe that closing your eyes to innate differences between the sexes, and how they interact with one another, is a good course of action. Trying to fit individuals into the mold of equality when they are not equal only creates problems, namely...

    Charisma Fallout 4 SPECIAL video

    Let's try and rationalize that. Someone who is a charismatic smooth talker can be a frequent user of addictive substances while still managing to convince themselves and everyone else around them that no problem exists... well, that doesn't cover physical withdrawal symptoms, unless Beth wants...

    Feminism and why it's bad.

    The right to devalue labor by creating millions of people looking for work? The right to destroy gender roles that arose out of natural neccesity, making everyone unhappy down the line? I'm curious how you think education and false equality is the way to go.

    That doesn't really address his points. I just thought he had some interesting things to chew on.

    Fallout 4’s Character System

    Was anyone really surprised? Anyway, there is already a way to make it so it's reminiscent of Fallout's regular style. create your SPECIAL, put only 10 points in as you go along max (Intense Training) mod perk rate to 2 or 3 instead of 1 realize percentage based skills are useless in an FPS...

    Perception Fallout 4 SPECIAL video

    On the contrary, ED-E perception bonus stacked with yours. On a 10 perception character it's possible to see enemies on your compass that are outside your draw distance. Incredibly useful for a character that avoids fights, like a diplomat or thief.

    Bethesda’s Pete Hines Fallout 4 interview

    To play devil's advocate, what if it turns out that the androids are not independent computer AIs but facets of an overmind AI that is the source of all of them, connected by radio transmissions or whatever, therefore the massive size of the computer a la ZAX is not retconned. It could even be...

    Why do you despise Bethesda

    What's wrong with Bethesda? Well, it's simply a matter of priorities and their choice to appeal to consumer wants instead of the creation of art. The public wants games where you are a demigod that wanders to pre-marked locations to loot items - a half baked story and incomplete world is bolted...

    Arabic peoples and communities in the Fallout universe?

    But new generations that don't deal with the loss aren't neccesairly susceptible to losing faith as their parents were. They are born into a horrible world and are uneducated, they could easily pick up the beliefs espoused by "that one crazy religious person" and all go in on it. Or just form...
