Fallout: New Vegas

He wanted it to be inconspicuous.

For what purpose?

At least this one is asking a question and not immediately going into the super retarded faction wars.

That didn't work though

Helios One isn't active at the start of the game and can't supply enough power for a single district of Vegas. Hoover Dam doesn't go directly to Vegas, it has to take the long route through Legion territory on the Arizona/Utah border (look at the picture in the OP).

Can't possibly imagine why

Maybe the NCR/House built another power line and cut off the one going through Legion territory?

The same reason Cass' caravan got hit

From the impression I got the majority of it (if not all) comes from Hoover Dam. There's also Helios (if you get that online but very limited power) and the Lucky 38 reactor (which is offline and needs external power to jumpstart it).

Since the Legion do take over Helios without destroying it under certain circumstances, I don't think Casear wants to destroy strategic assets. Casear could have opted for severing lines just prior to his final advance to power down NCR's ability to communicate and cause local unrest. Though doing that also tips off the NCR what's about to happen. Another possibility is that Casear didn't invest enough research into it and figured New Vegas already had a direct line to it and thought severing those other lines it would be pointless.

You'd think NCR engineers would at least be drafting plans to build their own power lines directly to New Vegas at the very least. But then Casear would have stopped that at all costs and realized his true leverage immediately.

Weren't they attacked by the silver rush people?

Why doesnt the legion have power armor?

How does sportswear provide more DT than most military armor?

If you guys remember the sub-station quest when you have to restart the reactor under the Lucky 48, if you didn't massacre the NCR soldiers their idle chatter talks about buried power lines.
Which implies that there's a direct line from the dam to the station that goes to Las Vegas.

I thought they were technophobes, but I might be wrong.

Fallout will never look as cool as this. I want a Warhammer: Age of Strife game instead.

That is only a map of high-voltage rails between localized power districts you fucking retard. Many cities tend to have more than one source of electricity

discussion

We should do this more often

It would help if there were more games worth discussing.

half-life 1 and how half-life 2 is a shitty sequel in every conceivable way

Would the Legion have been more or less effective if they allowed for more widespread use of technology (i.e. stimpacks, power armor, energy weapons, etc.) throughout their empire?

go my son, make a thread.

more, obviously

their issue is that they have no foresight. eventually if they grew large enough and had enough knowledge they could start manufacturing all of that, they assume that they'll never be able to do that though

Correct me if I am wrong but isn`t older wh40k canon have copyright issues with multiple parties that`s why they don`t use it for games at all.

What happened to New York in the fallout universe? I haven't read the fallout bible so I'm probably missing out on that part. Pic unrelated.

I thought that was Battletech.

pretty sure it's a crater

Is there an archive of Holla Forums recommended mods or something? I'm tempted to do a first playthrough and would prefer to fix it as is tradition with Obsidian games.

Unofficial Patch. That's it.

Same concept. Someone would attack and take the chip

Because they've long since gotten used to the husks, and there's such a massive amount of husks that they won't be needing to build shit for a long time, like human hermit crabs? Maybe the housing market has long died because of all these husks so nobody builds any? Maybe anyone that knew how to build shit died and nobody can be fucked to build any new houses?

What kind of cuck wouldn't take the strip as their own?

I love you Matt

...

Yes Man is an undertale reaction image?

You can't hide from me faggot

You must have been role playing a character with less than 4 INT, or one who is a total cuck.

Why take responsibility for the strip at all? Let The King become ruler of the Nevada wastes; he's a better leader than any of these other fags.

He is a literal Elvis impersonator, that's why.

This is the single gayest OP for a New Vegas thread ever. Hang yourself.

I have never been angrier. You can choose between three faggots who would run the place further into the ground or take the totally rad do it yourself route and get cucked out of an empire when Yes Man decides to go into automated mode and kicks you out. Even if you're retarded enough to pick one of the other three options they all kick you out too. Then you faggots have the audacity to wank off over this game day and night making constant threads about which pile of shit is the best to swallow.
Fuck the strip, fuck all the retards that inhabit it, fuck their janky bethesda code, and most of all fuck OP for continuing to make threads about this flaming pile of shit.
The game would have been better if it ended when I put my foot through that faggot dish cloth suit wearing fruitbowl's head.

The chip upgrade repaired his program so that the only person that can command him would be the current administrator of his systems which would be ,in the independent ending, the courier. If yesman did betray the courier and made himself king that would have been clearly shown on the ending slides since it dramatically alters things.

Actually in NV there were supposed to be new buildings and cars. However Bethesdas shitty engine couldn't do it and it would be too big of an effort to start from scratch. Those ruined cars on NV NC road near the border were supposed to be new and traveling in between them.

I was pissed by the independent ending for a different reason.
Bitch, who could have done a better job than me?

Because he had someone from the inside to boycott the plan
The idea was to not attract the attention of the Legion nor the NCR.

Also just wanted to say that the beginning of Fallout 2 is a slog and poorly made (checked someone else play it to see if i fucked up with my build, and seems that this is a steal-pillage simulator, for now).
I'm getting through just to see if it gets better.

Yes, I've finished the first game. No, I didn't have any problem with it.

and you are the one talking about good taste? fuck off

Hoover Dam IS their power supply you idiot, the Legion is trying to take it during the game it's the central plot piece for the main plot.
Have you ever played New Vegas?

I'll check your dubs but that's all.

That a plan doesn't work out doesn't mean that it wasn't a plan. It wasn't a bad plan either, he just got betrayed by silly suit man. If it had been sent with a group of robots, Benny could still have stolen it in another way.

Not seeing what the problem is

Are you implying that you are not wearing Elvis's clothes with well oiled hair right now, you fucking faggot?

...

I agree about F2, I played both games for the first time pretty recently and enjoyed F1 (though the combat became a bit of a slog by the end) but I dropped F2 a little after getting the GECK, about ~15 hours in.

They would have been more effective if they weren't lead by a retard with cancer that thinks it's perfectly fine to send all your new troops out to fight people with guns and grenades with nothing more than a lawnmower blade with some tape on it and a skirt made of old football pads.

Because Bethesda doesn't trust its audience to understand post apocalypse unless it looks like the apocalypse happened just a few moments ago. New Vegas probably would've featured people building new structures if it had more than 8 months of work on it.

In Fallout 1 and 2 people have built new adobe homes.

And yet Fallout 4 somehow managed to make it even worse - at least in New Vegas you can sort of cheese it by saying "there's no timber for framing or water for making mortar and there's too little infrastructure and too much violence to make clearing buildings or building anything worth it" but in Boston there are literally billions of perfectly good bricks just sitting there waiting to be re-used along with all the structural steel anyone could ever want. Even a lack of mortar isn't a viable excuse when there are four fucking limestone quarries no more than a short walk away from Boston as well as effectively unlimited amounts of sand and fresh water. And to add insult to injury, they gave the Institute a base that would give Steve Jobs an erection from beyond the grave and gave the BoS a fucking helicarrier and a meme-spouting nuclear powered war robot the size of an office building.

Legion best faction

Because NV is a Fallout 3 mod and Bethesda had a post apo stalker like "oblivion with guns" mod in the works before they bough the Fallout license.
Which is the reason why everything Fallout-related is so out of place in Fallout 3.

Whatever diversity hire they paid to write the FO3 and FO4 scripts simply has no conception of time.

he hired half a dozen decoy couriers carrying other shit including a diamond? chesspiece, oversized pair of dice and three others i don't remember.

Helios one operates at 1% of it's capacity because NCR bureaucrats are fucking retarded

Because it's rare, only manufacturing facility was blown up.
BoS doesn't share and NCR uses de-motorized powerarmor

he doesn't "rule" over anything other than style and his buddies.
Freeside is true anarchy

Vegas wasn't nuked, 7 or so warheads hit very important patches of dirt, north vegas, a hill, and some more dirt.

Diamond shitty was >founded in 2130, Shady sands was built from scratch in 2142 by a literall 56% face from a vault testing diverse multiculturalism resulting in creation of 3 savage gangs and Shady Sands village.
In 2287 dumpmound shitty is still a fucking shantytown in a stadium, meanwhile Shady Sands is reaching real life Washington D.C.-tier corruption and size

I meant New Vegas the game, not New Vegas the location. It's still an Oblivion-tier retcon but with some relatively minor mental gymnastics you can kind of stop caring noticing it - not so with Fallout 4. There's absolutely no excuse for six or seven generations of homeless people living in a city full of construction materials free for the taking and not constructing a fucking thing.

This mainly, also the Jet thing and their reaction to fans asking questions about why it was referenced pre-war was the last straw.

Because it's hard to find a hired gun with a lot of loyalty.

this is why FROST makes Fallout 4 bearable, everything looking like it was destroyed yesterday makes sense when it's only 5 years after the war.

Bethesda Fallout games are just lazy and written by cynical numales who think society would devolve into a bunch of cavemen if nukes fell. They're also so retarded that even after people pointed out to them that after 200 years vegetation like grass and trees would be alive again, they just ignored it and kept Fallout 4 as a grey and brown mess because that's the "Fallout aesthetic". Never mind the fact that there's only no vegetation in the first two games because the first two take place in the fucking desert.

In F2 there are places like NCR capital, or Vault City where they have trees, freshly paved walkways and electricity.
New Reno is capable of producing pornographic 3D movies.

No, they just moved away from it because it was too silly for the current, super serius business that is 40k since its moved away from rogue trader.

I hate F3 and F4 but to be fair if there was a nuclear war the east coast would definitely get cratered harder than fucking utah would

It's been over 200 years, the power lines probably changed at some point.

they got nuked less, considering the amount of ruins that are in decent shape.

He also had mercenaries screening the area before and after. But yes man let benny know exactly where and when to wait for the very limited opportunity to ambush.

It's just a reaction image fam.

See this is why House is still the best ending, he will never stab you in the back and you just get a good life of luxury inside the Strip.

I never used to ponder this too much when I first played Fallout 3, but it's insane how little they've actually advanced. I mean it's like nobody has even the most basic skills of masonry and construction.

It's also weird how you have gangs fighting over scraps of the old world (as in, actual scraps of tinned food and what have you) two centuries after the fact.

That said, Fallout lore was always trash. I'm not someone who thinks the first two games were great either, Baldur's Gate 2 was the best old CRPG, far superior to F1 and F2.

Get out you profligate.

I thought the Legion liked guys :^)

Because the Romans were fucking GAY. I think Spartans were encouraged to fuck so they'd care more about each other in battle but I'm not sure if that's true.

Never thought I'd see the day California turned on the fags

It was the closest pic in my folder, relax homofag. Let's just keep it to new vegas and on topic, yea?

Friendly reminder that the profligate cries in pain as it strikes against the Legion.

It's not a joke or a rumor user. It's in the game and its delivered straight (no pun intended). Maybe try actually playing the game sometime instead of spouting memes like a reddit-tier retard?

Images unrelated.

Show me exactly who said it, nigger.
This is Holla Forums, user. Nobody actually plays games here.

You use the [Confirmed Bachelor] perk on him to get to that conversation piece.

You really just really confirming that you're a meme spouting retard.

Do you see or is it implied that there are faggots buttfucking in the Fort? No? Then you're clearly a fucking retard, nigger. Legion unironically dindu nuffin, suck a cock.
If I'm a pot, you're the kettle.

Yeah, they really put sodomy animations into the game for all to see. That was sarcasm, I don't trust you not to understand that.

Oh and by the way yeah it is implied there's buttfucking in the fort. Major Knight seems to know a bit about it.

But I'm not in the Legion user.

Nope you're just a meme spouting faggot. Enjoy your last (You) from me.

more pls

He's tired, user. Probably dehydrated.

That's all I got of that comic. No idea if there's more. Found it on /clang/.

Just go to /clang/, they've got assaultron porn.

The artist drew at least one other assaultron image that I'm aware of.

I got your sarcasm nigger. Even autists can tell given enough training.

Maybe they didn't know or it would be too much hassle. Also bad writing.

You know what to do.
