Never played the games but devouring this over the past two nights. Reckon we'll finish it out tonight but absolutely loving it so far.

I got Fallout 4 again (previously tried it on XBox) on PS store. There is a free upgrade coming out soon for PS5/Xbox Series too. For a fiver it's worth a second shot.

Fallout New Vegas was considered the best game for mechanics and story, it was made Obsidian. Fallout 4 was fun but buggy due to the old engine and fallout 76 was an absolute mess at launch both made by Bethesda. They really didn’t like that Obsidian made a far superior game mechanics and story wise. The studio was hammered by bad feedback from 76 as it was a mess at launch I really wish Obsidian was given another crack at the title as they produced a far superior game and story.

The main quest of four was very weak, NV had far better side quests though the robots quest in four was fantastic. One issue with four was the main quest and ending NV was more open and enjoyable though. Some of the expansions on both were sketchy. The one with the collar in NV was an absolute slog but old world blues was extremely fun and funny.

The changes made to the power armour from 4 on was a nice improvement, there were actual big suits you'd step into (like on the show) rather than just clothes you'd equip. You weren't always able to use them easily as they needed power but when you got one early in the game it made you feel really powerful. Made them look more like they were in the older games.

If the next season is set in New Vegas ( the place) it'll hopefully unruffle a few feathers, people thinking either Amazon are stupid or Bethesda are trying to remove New Vegas (the game) from cannon due to the dates and bits of history shown in the show.

Show was excellent and very true to the games. From the drinks, foods, shops, artwork, cars, etc. Even liked how they kept the music going.

NV definitely better in terms of Quests, 3 for best main story, 4 fixed rake of issues with guns and proper armour suits.

76 runs well now with all the expansions and NPCs, very different game compared to the rest, but definitely the weakest of the lot.

That's the Mysterious Stranger

I know. They were saying that the mysterious stranger should just turn up, save everyone, leave, and no one even bat an eyelid or reference it.

Or Preston Garvey to show up every episode to tell them a settlement is under attack 🤣

Looking forward to Centarus, supper mutants and deathclaws.

Prolonged exposure to fallout can turn you into a ghoul, once a ghoul the time you go feral is random (I think) but it’s thought to be inevitable. It’s why the ghouls are shunned and not usually allowed in human settlements.
The suit could have been tracked back the way they came and Kyle could have gone into cryosleep.

In relation to that;

The developers themselves have said that it was never clear in the game. People are getting way too tied up on “cannon” that is not consistent in the game. The whole concept is ridiculous and runs with it. I’m really not sure what people complaining about that wanted.
