I remember the first time seeing a mirelurk in my scope and thinking what the FUCK is that. Fallout 3 was so much more menacing than 4. All these candyass new players in Fallout 4 are getting the comic book version of everything. Although one of them on reddit was whining about the raider with a Fat Man in Lexington. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically, the Fallout 3 design Queen is more pulpy; It's a homage to the Gillman from Universal Monsters And yeah, it's a million times more soulful then 4 version's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Good Doctor Posted April 20 Author Share Posted April 20 Just now, Celan said: Fallout 3 was so much more menacing than 4. Absolutely. The wasteland felt much more hostile and strange. It didn’t help that Fallout 4 immediately tossed us into a scripted encounter where we get handed free power armor and a minigun and mow down a deathclaw like a badass. Killed all sense of danger or vulnerability out the gate. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I crap on Bethesda Fallout a lot, but I wont fault them for their monster design. They invented lots of cool mutants. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say they've been slipping since 4 was a pretty big step down, but Far Harbour and Fallout 76 has some really awesome ones, so I think we can chalk 4 up as an irregularity. But I still say artistically 3 was there high point. So filthy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I still say artistically 3 was there high point. So filthy. Nearly everything in 4 is the low point. Tone, art design, writing quality (until the show). The one thing it’s got going for it is Maxson and the BoS, and amusingly most modern fans hate the BoS in Fallout 4. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If were comparing I think Fallout 3 is elevated by really strong art direction, quest design, and the Fallout 1-esque horror elements. Yeah it's writing aint good, but it's better then 4 in that regard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's writing aint good, but it's better then 4 in that regard Fallout 3 has a very solid foundation. Me and Doc have talked to no ends about how it could be fixed. No brotherhood, no Enclave, much much sooner in the timeline, maybe a decade after the bombs, no super mutants. Fuck, Pitt is strongly on New Vegas levels of quality. Stick everyone involved with that as project leads and you'd have a damn good Fallout 3 that fits perfectly with the old ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pitt would be perfect as the East Coast’s dark and twisted foil to Shady Sands. An independent town that grows into an industrial nation, but on the back of raiding and slavery instead of cooperation and agriculture. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly if Fallout 3 took place in The Pitt, with the same map size as DC, I'd be so fucking down with that. In an alternate universe, the Capital Wasteland was the dlc, with two competing factions of US army remnants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even liked Operation Anchorage, and Point Lookout had great atmosphere and spy stuff. We're not talking FNV quality stories but a lot of fun. But I gotta disagree with you on the supermutants. One of the best memories I have of FO3 is throwing a nuka grenade into a bunch of supermutants in a hospital and seeing one of them shoot up to the ceiling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to mention I think the best "this is a zany post-apocalypse" they did was in Point Lookout. It was grounded in alot of pulpy elements (including killer hillbillies and swamp monsters) but had a very consistent theme they kept to, with alot of really good dark atmosphere. Excellent piece of content imo. It's also one of the best usages of Lovecraftian themes that Beth usually likes to throw on without putting much effort into making it work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witchking of Angmar Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Watched the Fallout show. My thoughts: I really liked they way they handled the vaults. I felt they handled it better than games did in various ways. Though I give the games the leeway of the vaults being ill suited to shot and loot gameplay. Jet arms on the power armor, really? I also think it too often detracts from the tank feeling of the armor. Something about the Brotherhood just feels off. They nailed the aesthetic, but their actions and behavior feels off. Cold fusion? Couldn't they just have copied the regular fusion plotline of the Institute from Fallout 4? Where the fuck did Hank get his hands on a nuke to blow up Shady Sands just like that? Loved all the little references and general tone of the show. Felt very Fallout. Maximus clearly dumped Charisma. Maxed out Luck though as he keeps succeeding despite utterly failing every speech check. Lucy was fun all around. Final battle should have been Brotherhood really decimating the NCR remnants with how much power armor they brought. Or at least they should have given the NCR remnants some plasma weapons. 2 Power corrupts, absolute power... is a whole lot of fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They pretty much slaughtered them, though the NCR gave a hell of a fight. Only took serious casualties when they went up against Howard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
