Why the fuck are these companies so comically evil? Have you read these robobrain entries?

They were bought out.

Lot of IP to acquire for a hired gun

I think the point is that pre war America was so highly strung that it may as well been 1985"Brazil"

Still haven't seen. How good is it?

that stupid shit was in 2? fuck me, i thought it came with todd

Vault-Tec has officially reached Umbrella-levels of evilness by now.
That is, a corporation so retardedly evil they actually burn billions of dollars just to make a handfull of people suffer.
The majority of the Vault experiments make no sense at all, neither scientifically nor economically.

At least Umbrella had a reason to do so. All those zombies and monsters were just an uninteded product as the founders were searching for biological inmortality. I can see people burning millions to reach inmortality.

fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Vault_8

I don't recall it being in FO2 either.

It's not subtle at all anti-capitalist propaganda. Shit head parents shower their kids with video games and the jews have taken notice. Now video games are all about how evil corporations are and how diversity and being a degenerate are good.

This genuinely unsettles me. Jesus christ
Robobrains are some of the more interesting creatures in the entire series. Skynet was my favourite companion.

i cannot understand why anyone would do that. If only faraction of your population survived wouldnt you want to start rebuilding instead of fucking with them with no one to make notes about that? Doesnt experiment require some obesrver? who would be observer there? Mole rats? Or smart deathclaws?

There are many dimensions along which you are stupid, so I'm going to waste bandwidth on this dead board by explaining them.

Capitalism is what allows the "degeneracy" you bitch about to exist. Markets are what allows money to go to porn artists instead of, let's say, tank manufacturers. Corporations absolutely are evil, in that they have you know what fuck it

Because, going off memory, the original plan was to jet off into space and leave earth to rot. The vaults were to test people, and see what would happen if they were put into a spaceship like situation (cramped, isolated place with no way of getting into contact with anyone outside)
This was supposedly why there's all the different vaults existed, for possibly problems/social experiments. I think another reason was the pen and paper version of Fallout was coming out/was out and it gave the dm the framework to make his own vaults for the players.

wow thats almost as stupid as Fallout 4

...

...

If you talk to the president at the enclave he says it outright, all vaults had in-built failures or other experiments, including ones that just killed everyone inside and/or destroyed the vaults. Because fuck logic. Fallout 2 was a giant fucking mess.

Capitalism is good, nazism isn't. Your values are mutually self-contradictory, you stupid fuck.

tbqh i never finished it because who wants to play savage nigger or have anything to do with skeletor tandi.

...

He was whining about "degeneracy". What do you think he is?

christian?

He didn't say this, the only Vaults he specifically mentions are one with less food synthesizers, one with only men, and one meant to open after just 6 months.

None of the Vaults just kill everyone in it or self destruct, not in any way that's direct.

fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Vault

Look at the Canon vault list, all of them except the Bethesda ones are reasonable from a "we're testing humanities ability to survive in such a closed and temperamental space" experimental sense.

Christians are big on the whole "diversity" thing because only nogs and spics have the right

…mindset to be good at that kind of shit

ok, its filter for you

Guys, 8ch is waaaay better than Twitter

One fucking guess.

pussy cant handle the bantz

nah i just dont argue with commies because it leads nowhere, i tried far too many times

Vault 12 didn't close and would've killed everyone if not for the magical radiation that enclave didn't plan for, but you have a point, it looks like the really retarded ones started withy F3.

Now the cool thing to do is to hate Fallout 2 huh.

fallout 1 is really nicely compact story, fallout 2 has problem with tone, gameplay is still good but for me tone is very important and i wasnt motivated to finish it

Vault 106, Overseer filled the air with psychoactive drugs, result: total insanity, source is Fallout Bible
Vault 12, Intentional radiation exposure, could be considered intentional self destruction, calling it a study on radiation poisoning is retarded, obviously source is Fallout 1
Side Note, there are a lot less vaults than I remembered and most of them are saner than I remembered, even the Bethesda ones

Also one of my few gripes with the writing in NV, why did House fill the vault with concrete? That's just a waste of effort that only serves to deny him further resources.

Dont you see how cleverly and subtlely they parody contemorary american corporations and the dark side of the american dream? It truely is a masterpiece of social critique.

I think it had to do with House not having complete control over the vault so he feared they could plot against him there.

Namefagging for any reason is still cancerous.

I remembered he had the right to just kick them out, and considering he trusted three different tribal groups enough to leave them basically to their own devices and only check on them occasionally, it feels strange to not make them one of the casino famiilies.

The three families of the strip didn't have a bunker that could survive a nuclear blast. It's a lot easier to control them when your robots can just roll into the casinos and take out who they please

The issue is that vaults are directly designed as some sort of dungeon in the Beth ones. And of course to motivate the player they put mad experiments meme nonsense. I haven't played FO1 but I liked Vault city and what it conveyed. It would make more sense for each vault to teach the people certain roles and skills so thdy specialize in something. Either that or make it so it functions to mimmick the systems of power.

Fallout was never good. Prove me wrong.

In case anyone forgot, Fallout started as a GURPS-based crpg until Steve Jackson games rescinded the license (or maybe they just never gave it in the first place. I forget.)

And for you non-fa/tg/uys, GURPS is the everything-and-the-kitchen-sink RPG system, which has splatbooks for every conceivable setting or idea. Meaning Fallout likely ended up with so many wacky ideas because they were just slapping together random content from one of the fucktillion GURPS setting books to fill out the wasteland.

Doo doo
Pee pee
Bethesda are bad at writing stories

...

Some people used CTL in Benny's room to find a few doors you can travel by and actually reach that Vault.
They are all unfinished areas but it's pretty clear there was content that was gonna be written there and never was (possibly because Obsidian ran out of time).

So it's basically just another part of the plot that, much like the Legion, didn't had enough time to be written and implemented.

Were I to take a guess, House didn't so much filled it with concrete as rather sealed something inside that he didn't wanted to be found.
Perhaps his chamber was originally inside that vault instead of his own casino, where nobody would look for if they wanted to get to him.
Or he had some kind of weapon in there.
Or the cement idea wasn't the original one, they had something else planned for the vault but with a few weeks to finish the game, they literally plugged the plot hole with concrete.

OP, you gotta understand one thing.
Bethesda can't write nuanced grey morality stories at all. It's either black and white or it doesn't even have a color.

You go play FO3, what do you get? You, the hero, against the impersonations of Nazis. That's how they show the enclave and why you're never given a chance to join them, only "help Hitler" and "nuke the faction that helped you" so you can be a dick without breaking their plotline.

This isn't incopetence on the level of "they don't understand how to make a nice story with characters having their own motivations and reasons" but more of a "we have this story to tell the player that he will see one way or another by an angle of his choice, but these events MUST happen".

This is why Skyrim has a plotline against Dragons that doesn't vary ever, this is why it's Civil War quest is the same on either side.
So you see the story they wanted to tell you and all the events they scripted for you, picking a side just changes the clothing of the actors.

This is why Oblivion is about you stopping The Ultimate Evil, so that you don't have a reason to go against the plot.

This is why Fallout 3 is about noble scientists fighting the nazis and every "evil" option you pick still has you activate the Purifier or setting off the nukes.

This is why Fallout 4 has different factions that they tried to emulate from New Vegas but you're still going to the same places and seeing mostly the same thing in the main quest and the side quests feel even worse than Mage's Guild quests.

It's all so you see the special touching story they prepared for you because their playerbase is composed entirely by those retards that can't make their own fun in a sandbox game and demand more linear experiences in their videogames.

Fallout 4 was pretty cut-and-dry to me. I just killed everyone except for the Brotherhood of Steel.

Well since Minutemen are just Raiders in fancy coats, the Railroad are Synth Sympathizers and the Institute is the guys that made those abominations, you just went with the default BoS story they had for you.
You still did your faction quests, still explored the wasteland, still went to the instute looking for your son, still had a major standoff in the end and still faced the same retarded choice afterwards.

You had the same experience as everyone else, yours was just "rust metal" colored.

lolwat

Vault Tech was shown to be stupidly evil back in Fallout 2. You can't blame this shit on Bethshit.

It feels hypocritical though that players are marketed a game with rebels against the big bad corperation in a game made by a big corperation. Shits especially confusing when companies like EA and Ubisoft do it.

I still dont get the point of Umbrella in newer RE games, they're killing everyone and risk killing themselves with the zombies and mutated creatures, what is the ultimate goal? Fucking nukes would be more effective than BOWs as well.

1984?
Pretty good shit, but you will need to read the book for more context, watched the movie and read the wiki a bit to understand some of the stuff

exaggeration? ha, have you MET a capitalist?

All (or at least most) of the test vaults did have an observer, that was either supposed to be or work with the overseer, or otherwise simply observe and record. In some cases, the observer had no idea what the actual intended experiment of the vault was supposed to be (particularly in the cases that death would be nigh-inevitable).
And don't forget, some of the vaults (half of them or more, I think) actually were intended to work as advertised with no social experimentation.

Kind of a moot point though if they are all dead.

Only thing I could think of that would still be genuinely relevant would be the Enclave still dicking about and you found this shit and that they are still around to kill again

you're right, the vaults ingame are too small and it has always bothered me, fallout=faggout get over it you tiny dickshit loosers

True but it was less…well cartoonishly evil and more corporate dickery and taking massive bribes from the US govt and less being skeletor levels wacky.

Then again I'm not sure bethesda ever did subtle evil well.

What are you talking about? The entire vault thing was completely comically evil to begin with. Fallout always had shit writing, it's just worse now.

At least it was actually a CRPG.

I thought you filtered, him. Did you pussy out of that too?

Because bethesda's audience needs a clear GOOD GUYS/EVIL GUYS world, otherwise they're confused and stuck at repeating "muh atmosphere."

Because it was still about a corporation with a goal and the vaults were just the means for it.
But in FO3, Vault Tec is no longer a corporation, it's The Man in Black that does mysterious things for mysterious reasons, all pretty inhuman but very reasonable for reasons you can't understand.

In FO2, the survival of mankind in the circunstances the vaults were built for was the reason to have them built that way.
In FO3 and onwards, they were built that way because those games are a theme park for you to enjoy, each vault just another contraption to amuse you and logic or reason don't amuse most people.

It's more because you'd end up missing on content if you could play the game from truly unique perspectives and you'd be forced to play the game multiple times or actually care about what choices you make while you play it, which just won't do.

In New Vegas, you can actually never even visit the Legion Camp or the NCR base and still win the game with House, for instance.
In Fallout 3, every single place in the mainquest WILL be visited by you no matter how you're playing or your karma.

Do remenber that there are a lot of people, even in this board, that praise linear gameplay as the superior design choice and an open world\story where you can aproach a situation from many different angles and perspectives is cancer and stupid to them.

There's a place for both linear and non-linear games, but if you claim to be non-linear, let me fucking miss stuff.

There's a place for both user.

Nah, it really was.

Bethshit deserves a lot of credit for being shit, but to act like the series didn't take a turn for the worse with Fallout 2s bullshit is revisionist history.

Bullshit. Just look at shit like Vault 69. The entire notion of a Vault Experiment was retarded on its face and should have been throw out from the very start. The fact that Fallout 2 made it canon speaks volumes about how fucked the series was after the first game.

Makes zero fucking sense. He has no complete control over anything other than his own casino, the family that he put in power living ACROSS THE STREET from him is plotting to kill him and ally with the Legion and he doesn't know about it other than "they may be up to something".
Like

wrote, probably a quick excuse to cut it from the game.

...

...

Exactly like George Soros and all the other evil globalists.

...

America had their own safe havens, as evidenced by the enclave in 2. The whole point was to use the average person as a test subject in experiments that could theoretically help understand human nature when they remake humanity.

...

Todd was bullied wasn't he?

Actually vault-tec was doing it for experiments. it made no sense but that was the mentality back then. they didn't have computer powerful enough to perform simulations so they performed them on real people.

which vault would you want to be in?

Personally i'd want to be in Vault *69*

Sounds like fun, but would probably be hell.

supposedly the guy who was in vault 69 ended up committing suicide from the constant nagging. but had fun at first.

There is also a counterpart called vault-68 with 999 men and 1 woman.

...

...

...

gotta deal with the cards your dealt

I haven't played an RE in a while, but from what I understand a lot of the conflict is just terrorists who got their hands on samples. Additionally, there are businessmen trying to introduce biohazards to benefit from the "war" economy. Then there are still some weirdos like Wesker running around trying to create cool shit.

Nigga you are just hopping on the bandwagon.

They were controlled experiments because like the moon rush in the cold war, Fallout's universe had one as well.

But that was to avoid the assured nuclear devastation, so the vaults were created to monitor possible scenarios in controlled isolation that would take place on space voyage.

The idea was the elites had a main vault where they would wait record information, then launch a shuttle to the moon or new planet to colonize using what they learned from the vault.

Fallout is a parody of American culture, its not always supposed to make sense.

Jew/Antifa/lolburg detected. If lolberg your ideology is just as delusional as communists, a completely free market is trash. See China for what would happen (deadly fake rice,fake eggs, lead paint in toys).

National socialism is fucking retarded as well, only edgy racist claim its good.

Was the GECK meant to terraform this planet?

Pure capitalism was established in the United states which created the Gilded Age. Capitalism was restricted after that and laws concerning monopolies were established.

It worked wonders in the 1930's for Germany though.

Are you saying Hitler was wrong?

I couldn't get through fallout 2 either too much stupid bullshit packed into one game. Should have been called memeout

I don't know I only know that much.

You mean a government system that worked for a centralized industrial nation that had a history of isolation with a relatively homogeneous medium population?
You don't say.

Obviously yes since he was an idiot and let jews manipulate him.
if he was correct the world would be under nazism now.

It already is if you don't understand what this means.

jesus christ rt is so fucking awful
please fuck off

I was actually thinking that. They'd either off you after awhile OR treat you like a rare commodity and lock you up and deal with you how they see fit.

That vault would be guaranteed to fail, women cannot work together without men around to hold the reigns. Vault 68 would probably have the men lock the one woman up and turn her into breeding stock until enough women were born to solve the problem of depop. Contrary to what women believe, men don't think purely with their dicks.

Why would they do this? this is stupid.

What they would do is use you as a human dildo, you would have to have sex non stop which would be tiring. some of them would eventually want children.

in case of the 999men to 1 woman, most of the men would be fighting eachother to get at the woman. the woman would be valued very highly. there are 2 scenarios which would play out. the woman would be used as a sex slave to pleasure all the men. which is highly unlikely since this would damage the woman and leave her worthless.

or the 2nd scenario. the woman would be elevated to queen status. all 999 men would have a chance to have sex with her eventually but they must work to do so. the best worker would get to impregnate her, leaving the other men great incentive to do a good job to ensure their future.

Women cannot act unless there is unanimity in the group, unlike men who can disagree and still work together or independently, they are also very lazy, unless it's childbearing they won't do anything useful.

There are some vaults where nothing's wrong, though, right? You leave a vault in the beginning of FO3, I vaguely remember that one not having problems.

some are normal. some were designed to fail at a certain point.

Let me guess, Technomancer.

Both of your examples are retarded and completely at odds with observable reality and human behavior. The woman would get claimed by the strongest man (i.e. the alpha with the most men under his command). She'd be his exclusive fuckslave, not some communal whore. Not even his own guys would get a crack at her, short of assassinating and overthrowing him. Further, if she shits out any daughters they'd immediately be promised to his various lieutenants as rewards, or to political rivals as bribes.
In other words, medieval feudalism.

While women are generally more open to fagging out than men in the west there is still a heap that are disgusted by it.

I can't see them doing either, when competing for male attention women will try to out do each-other in pleasing him. You would be treated like a king.
The worst part is all women like to bitch about other women and being the only guy you are going to hear a lot of bitching from nearly all of them.

Bethesda can't into subtle. All of their writing is so hilariously on the nose it hurts.

The Brotherhood need to be xenophobic assholes again!

Synths should be sympathetic but should also carry the inherent conflict of being in existence somewhere between life and property

And so on.

Fuck no, as a virgin yes i'd be in vault 69 and i don't care.

I rather be with my real life waifu and a bunch of automated or robot doctors so we can fuck and make lots of kids and breed retards.

That already happens when 2 women are around and its disgusting enough.

they are not raiders, they dont have men under their command
he'd get killed very quickly, you dont understand how desperate men can be, not even the strongest man can survive if he is in the way of something a bunch of people desperately want. someone would quickly kill him.
again they are not raiders, there is no need to have lieutenants or military in a fucking vault. your scenario damages the woman and this leads her to being killed or worthless.

Your king would get murdered quickly no matter their strength.

They will soon enogh. It's a competitive environment to get hte girl and fend off everyone else and the best strength you have in these situations is cohesion.
Some men will want a go at her but won't want to compete against other men. So what they'll do is follow the strongest guy they can find in the hopes that he will give them some time with her or her daughters.
Everyone else is free to compete alone (failing by default) or make groups of their own with a weaker leader.
It's the very basic foundation for authority figures.

Not if he has a personal cadre of guys keeping him safe. Those would want a go at her and, realistically, 2-3 would be allowed to keep them loyal, but everyone else would just follow him for stability.

Whenever there's competition, there's a need for strength. And the strongest advantage you can get is cooperation with other strong people.
But to cooperate with large amounts of people, you will need to delegate, which requires lieutenants for that.
Just promise her daughters and talk about future offspring being their only hope and that the woman can't be damaged too much and you'll have a cadre of men following you.

More likely you'd get one women threaten self-harm and use her white knights and the like to ensure she get's control of the vault and then the vault falls into disarray around her.

They'd chain her and keep her locked up to prevent self-harm obviously, but that's a given in any realistic scenario you can think of, considering what she'd go through.

White knights would also be a given, but like IRL, they wouldn't last long. All it would take would be a larger group of men, lead by someone with less moral problems about sex slaves to "overthrow" them. And if they can't, eventually the white knights would crack and actually rape her anyway.

Wesker wanted to evolve into a better Wesker, which is why he collected Las Plagas, G-Virus and all the hundred other fucking things.

Then she wouldn't eat, the vault is non-viable in the long term anyway. Also the king would not be able to trust her with anyone and would have to watch over her personally leaving plots to build around him. And whoever takes his place would likewise, be in constant fear of assassination.

So being comically evil for its own really is a thing.

yeah the games are quite realistic afterall

Vault 106 makes sense given the setting of the pre-nuke world. It's still culturally the 60s, so MKUltra is still in full swing.

Come on, faggot. This is Kidnapping 101.
You press on the side of her mouth to force it open, jam food inside and then hold her nose and mouth so she's forced to swallow.
Failing that, keep her alive with IV drips using a basic solution.
Short of biting her tongue off (just shove a sock in it), she really can't kill herself unless someone helps.

Now we are going into conspiracy and retarded fields.
There's no "king", there's only a bunch of faggots that want to fuck her but know very well they can't on their own, so they follow whoever gives them the best odds at having a go eventually with her or her daughters.
How the fuck do you think animal packs are formed? Just a bunch of faggot animals following the strong lead because it solves problems and gives stability to the pack, no need for "kings".

But you dont take armed guards and overseer that vault has into account

Whats stopping some armed pack of guards from taking the girl for themselves?

Nothing. And if they give authority to the Overseer, than he's the one that becomes the pimp master. Really no different than anyone else other that he has a headstart.

Why? To make impossible to anyone else use it, it was too close of Vegas, literally a walk away distance from his tower. Also, it was a way in and out of Vegas without passing by his guards, see Benny.

there is only 1 woman. there would be no king.

that doesnt mean it was good

I am convinced people here really don't understand shit about videogames, writing or plot.

Regarding Fallout 3 and 4 are shit writing.
However in the others cartoon villians and evil corporations were the THEME of the game.
It was a parody of the 1950s shortly after the creation of the nuke.

You niggas bitch about brown and bloom "realism" in games then fucking turn around and bitch about a game that isn't too serious.
Fucking christ you casuals.

And what else do you propose, nigger? How could someone even program a world that offers infinite choices? Not to mention the cost of such a thing if you want it to look remotely acceptable and have voiced characters.

god figured it out. he seems pretty dumb so how hard can it really be?

Seems to me fags on here don't seem to get that video games, by design, are limited, no matter how big and 'open' their worlds appear to be.

If you want some place where you can do "LE ANYTHING XD" just go outside niggers.

It's almost like people on Holla Forums are, by and large, completely full of shit and vitriol.

LMAO

Your lack of imagination is touching, really.

The main mechanic of the game was advertized to be the settlement system, was it not?
Then start there, make that the theme of the game. "Rebuild Civilization"

You begin the game waking up from cryo but no backstory is given to you, that's up for you to decide. Perhaps in a dream sequence, perhaps not even that.
The player character begins the game in a hobo phase where he can't build settlements at all. Nobody has a reason to follow or trust you after all.

As you travel the land, most quests you complete tick up a hidden counter of followers and when it's at a sufficient level, a group of people with a brahman caravan goes near you and says they need your help, that they want stability and safety in a city but they don't think anyone can give it to them but you, who've shown to help people.
At this point, you can now pick a place in the wasteland where the caravan will move to and settle to start a town. You can only pick a cleaned up place but you can also tell them to await for you in Diamond City until you've cleared the place you want.

Note that these people don't have to be just settlers. Pick bad karma resolutions for quests or murder\loot enough people and you'll get a merry group of raiders instead.
Help Synth and it's going to be Androids instead. Assist the Brotherhood and you'll get the proposal to make an F.O.B. for them, etc.
Obviously these groups don't await in Diamond City but some respective place.

After this is done, the true game begins and now every place where you can build settlements is going to be taken over by the different factions. You can attack, siege and capture them for your own faction, you can accept menbers of different factions in your settlements (but Raiders and Settlers or Synths and BoS menbers are not going to get along well)
Your settlements will be attacked as well and you must defend them. If too long passes without you taking action, they'll even be taken (except for your initial settlement) but otherwise just consider all the caps and resources they generate to stop coming your way.

The point of the game is to cover at least 80% of Boston with your settlements, which you can do by violence, trading, bartering, diplomacy or any other way. The decisions you make on how to run your settlements and their outcomes dictate how they fair and what's told you about you in the end.

Different factions have different buildings, furniture, shops, items, etc for your settlements and different events happening.
You might have a Synth village that caught a BoS scout and you must decide what to do with him once you go in.
Or a Raider village visited by a merchant that you can rob on the spot or establish a trade contact.

Nobody plays Bethesda games for the main quest line, that's a given and it should take backseat to the game.
But if you really need one:

The Institute is the brains of boston. They have the technology to create advanced machines and medicine. But they lack the manpower and although their weaponry is very powerfull, it's also very expensive, which is why they tried to use Synths to gather the resources their need (but this backfired).
The Brotherhood is the armed force. They have impressive weapons and the military tactics to fully explore them. But they are hard pressed for resources and the thecnology they have is mostly pre-war stuff. They have a sizeable force but it's more apt to fight mutants than scavenge, farm, etc.
The Minuteman are the most numerous group, not the militia itself but the settlers that follow and support them. They have improvised weapons and stolen tech only however.
The railroad are the humanitarians, whose greatest asset is a good moral conscience and some not-slave synth

(1/2)

So you begin the game waking from Cryo alone, every other subject dead or already gone.
You go outside the vault, trying to figure out where and when you are and the first people you meet are just some scavengers that give you pointers to Diamond City as the only decent settlement in Boston left.

You make your way there, you talk with the locals and you learn about the world, maybe even meet a fellow Cryo-pal that woke up several months ago. Then you get to meet the Mayor since Cryo people tend to be genetically superior to regular settlers do to not being exposed to radiation along the years and thus you can be more usefull.
He'll mostly give you radiant quests to explore the surroundings, exterminate some threats, etc.

As you travel, you'll hear and eventually talk with the other factions and you'll get to pick one that you can help, not based on ideology but rather on what you consider the most important to flourish in post-nuclear war: tech, weapons or manpower.

The factions will be at odds with each other and they'll have a long quest chain regarding what they are about that culminates on exterminating the "capital" of another faction, until only yours is left.
But as you do that, Boston and Diamond City will feel threatned. They want nothing of that, just to keep things as they have always been and they'll try to stop your progress, working as reasonable antagonists you can even talk and diplomacy with.

From this point, you can make whatever quests you want, there's organic and emergent gameplay from the settlement system that directly impacts the story and a clear goal to reach that can be aproached in many different ways, all with a cohesive plot and theme.

And the best part? You don't even have to make anything that the game doesn't already have to make this work.

(2/2)

Are you retarded? Did you fail your math classes? There are numbers greater than one that are still finite. Lots of numbers. Two, for example. Would it really be so difficult for a game to have two major questlines with some major deviation beyond whether the guys standing beside you are wearing power armor or labcoats? Oh, no, we can't do that, because having two options offers "infinite choices" somehow, and that's completely impossible.

This poster is absolutely correct. Witcher 2 offered divergent questlines years before fagout 4 was released. Don't even get me started about New Vegas.

Witcher 2? What about Witcher 1, that actually had 2 different warrying factions you could help, with an extra (correct) option of not siding with any of the murderous fucks?
What about about having factions based on their ideology instead of their armor and helping them because you believe in them, not because you are menber?
What about the option of just saying "fuck it, you're all crazy" and just doing your thing?

Seriously, why couldn't FO4 at least feature the "raider option" where you win when you kill the leaders of every single faction? There isn't even that.

Or Vampire the Maskerade, with it's multiple endings based on your choices and affiliations. That's old as shit and worked a lot better!

It's dark humor, and I would highly recommend it. This is coming from someone who doesn't like or watch movies for the most part.

learn to read ID's you fucking newfag.

how can you upgrade the securitron Army without visiting the legions camp?

I mean that as ine you don't even have to visit Caesar tent. You can blast your way in if you feel like it, which is what I did because fuck LARPers.
I didn't even visited camp McCarran during my first playthrough or most NCR locations at all.

...

I imagine her vagina would be cold and feel like chain mail

Are synths reverse robobrains, with organic bodies and synthetic processing core, or are they synthetic people with cybernetic implants in the head that turn them into switchable slaves? Pinkerton in fo3 says the first, but so far in fo4 it looks like the second one is true.

I believe the BoS is the worst implemented faction, with the minutemen close second.
You are a father looking for your son.
You meet the minutemen, you might join them to have somebody helping you, but you already go out of your path with that.
Then you hear the BoS SOS, you go there to help. They say to a pre-war dude that they work to keep the wasteland "safe" by halting all technological progress. To join them, you have to leave your son quest and accept mercenary work. Afterwards they never promise you help, you mention your son once and they say "i'm sorry, but go kill these muties". You are bounded to a faction that orders you around and that doesn't give a fuck about your son.
Even when you look for help for building the interceptor, the MC doesn't know how technologically prepared the BoS. The railroad that decoded the courser chip looks like the best ally.
