I tried massacring all the Boomers but that made me loose karma. Is this a bug? Y'all told me the game was based.
IIRC karma literally means nothing in NV, and instead everything is faction based. They just didn't take some of the "gives/takes karma" flags from certain things because it got overlooked in the clusterfuck of development it had.
Just kill a lot of the legion if you want your good boy points back, they are slavers after all.
I kill any legion dude I see (and they send buffed up dudes from time to time for me to kill them and get some sweeet loot worth a shitton of caps) but that doesn't rend me any karma. Fucking libs
If I kill a drug addict is good but if I kill a fucking unironic slaver and/or steal their shit that's bad akchually
Even hundreds of years and a nuclear bomb later Americans still suck shit smh
Fallout new leningrad
Hyello tovarish please make contribution to society through labor today and I will see you at dinner. Poberech!
Quest: conduct your societal duties and then return home to your family for a nice meal

“This game is boring everything is fine!”
It has potential to be really really really cool in whatever era you set it, but there is 99,999999% chance they end up making some enormous garbage.
Oh god yeah libs should stick to what they know. Anything they try to do involving stuff outside of the imperial core is almost always pure cringe
The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games are made by a Ukrainian company and set in the Eastern Bloc, but it's about mercenaries raiding an irradiated zone, so it doesn't have the same post-apocalyptic world vibe. I still enjoyed the games, and maybe the developer could do a Fallout-style game next.
Since S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 has taken ten years at this point (but is coming out this year), I wouldn't count on the developer releasing a Fallout clone set in the Eastern Bloc anytime soon.
Stalker is actually in my backlog. I’m churning through a bunch of crpgs but I definitely intend to check it and the metro series out soon
I forgot about Metro! Those are great, especially the Last Light remaster, if you're into stealth. Metro: Exodus is in my backlog.
That goes without saying and is the default in 99% of media, sadly. Maybe that will improve, playing Disco Elysium was a breath of fresh air.
Yeah exodus was on the top for the day on 1337x.to the other day and reminded me I need to play those
What if all of the dumb super mutants are capitalists and the end bossfight is Liberty Prime
Tovarish, we must liberate our American tovarishi from capitalist mutant. Climb atop mecha lenin and crush capitalist menace!
uhhhh actually it would be extremely dope if the end of the game is a mech battle between a salvaged Liberty Prime and a robo- The Motherland Calls
An official Fallout game showing whatever happened in the eastern block would be the biggest monkey paw curl ever, no thanks.
if they'd made that now I bet it would literally just be racist depictions of russians and end up not so subtly supporting the state department's policy on Russia. ironic fate for the fallout series and cursed af so it is probably going to happen.
Eastern Bloc Fallout: Instead of being a survival shooter, the game is a city builder. Turns out that the USSR and China survived underground and are rebuilding their societies as massive national projects instead of having a bunch of warring regional factions.
cw: rant
I hate the fallout series, its pro capitalist propaganda that portrays communists as evil loony toon villains. It's politics are lib at best and entirely reactionary most times. When addressing race it's always durr chinese bad but retro futurist america is free of racism in the same way starship troopers was. Fallout new vegas, the shining turd of the series, had four endings straight out of a political compass test, side with the auth right legion, the lib right ncr, the auth left house, or the yesman lib left. None of it is original, they did the same thing again in fallout 4 because Todd Howard can't make an original idea to save his life, it's all just a giant homage to the "golden age" of American culture and if you hate American culture it's hard to sit through. No I don't want to hear big iron, the guy who wrote that was a fucking racist and fallout 76 has a literal song that mentions joining the kkk. In conclusion pig poop balls.
fallout 76 has a song about joining KKK
Dude
I like to fill/replace the shitty parts in my head and just enjoy a fucked up universe where everyone is fucked up cuz this is murica. Like, everything feels lile the universe is just a big "lets point at murica and laugh at it", and I enjoy that. Of course turds are gonna unironically enjoy play as a fascist, worse even feel validated by a game lettinh them play it, but you wont fix shitheads through a game, so I'm gonna enjoy it my way and use some imagination to fix the lame parts.
Yeah the fallout universe is fucked up, it's America nuked itself. There's definitely irony in it. But it's not anti-american in any sense, it's a celebration of it, a celebration of the death cult that we though capitalism would bring us when the oil dries up. Mad max is a celebration of Australian culture is it not? And all of this is to not mention the gameplay, it's just loot, shoot, level up stats, help npc or kill npc, game crashes, game is not optimised, download mods to fix game, download mods to make game different, and at that point you ain't even playing fallout anymore. You want a game better than new vegas look no further than bioshock, or prey, or even half life. Open world games are overrated.
New Vegas has a discussion about Hegelian dialectic with Caesar, so it naturally contains more philosophy & theory than anyone on this site has ever read
Wasn't the point of the joke actually that turd completely misunderstanding (knowingly or unkowingly) whatever Hegel said in order to somehow justify the Legion shit. So the whole Caesar character is just a satire of pseudointellectual bastards? You know, dickheads who once catched a whiff of knowledge and as a kid that learned a new word thought themselves smart and bend it to fit whatever bullshit they wanted to believe? :jordan-eboy-peterson:
Anyways, I'm not debating with a slaver, regardless if they can quote a g*rman nerd from the 1600. Legionaire I see, legionaire I snipe.
