The Sole Survivor is a character that exists too. The vault staff froze him/her before the war.

It was a lore hook invented by the writers on Fallout 3. Namely for Point Lookout that proposes that a clique of pre-war billionaires and scientists concluded that the apocalypse was inevitable and the best way to beat it was time, so they contrived ways to personally achieve immortality through hijacking biological-robotics research, cryogenics, early ghoulinfication, life support, and so on. Their hopes being to outlast not only the apocalypse but each other. It directly informs the whole plot of Point Lookout. In interviews and behind the scenes documentary material they discussed The Great Game as being a potential hook the series could move forward on and connect East and West, or even if not become a toy for fans to play with.

The Show remembers it exists and makes it a [clumsy] feature of the plot. But so far every bit of discourse of da d33p lor3 has forgotten about it. And to be fair so has Bethesda. Besides New Vegas with House, the remnants of The Great Game mostly exist as precedent that pre-war characters can continue existing and live through the apocalypse so long as they are sufficiently wealthy (The Cabots, that one ghoul mob boss locked away in his own bunker just vibing)

What?

Kinda funny since the Fallout show dropped for being to circle around but then never really pierce the veil of one of Bethesda’s (only only really certifiably good) addition to Fallout lore, since abandoned after 3: The Great Game.

Ya’ll dancing around the edge but never quiet crossing the Event Horizon

Took me way too long but I can finally spawn in items in BG3.

Reinstalled FO76 on my new PC, everything maxed out, and the game still only runs between 60 and 70, and goddamn there’s still weird stuttering. Like the camera movement is very not smooth.

The Boogieman of the Commonwealth. Hides away from the surface, while spying on the surface using robots.

@phoenixacezero
Good. I suggest waiting until you’re alone before starting the romance cutscenes.

I bought BG3 for the PS5.

@igotnopicks
Same.

@Mikey
True, though you could argue that will ghouls it’s unwarranted (aside from feral ghouls of course).

@Commune
Hence why I said that NV was the only time it appeared. As for the synths, I blame the Institution for causing the fear and distrust and embracing it instead of correcting it.

@Meanlucario
I think it was some members who were homophobic in NV

Veronica(my beloved) only mentioned opposition from her ex’s parents and not anyone else so I don’t think it’s systemic like how anti-synth bigotry is in FO4

@Mikey
They are much like the Enclave but unlike the Enclave they aren’t total dicks.

@Background Pony #1EB5
Eh, it helped a lot. Not all the time though. I exited an instanced area and that took a looooooong time. But most loading times were better.

@Meanlucario
I mean a lot of people in the universe dislike Ghouls and Super Mutants. The BoS aren’t special in that regard. lol

The new HOI4 DLC gives a focus tree for military dictatorship/fascist Brazil to gain cores on all South American territories it annexes in thirty days for 20 political power each

Holy shit that is so fucking busted

@Background Pony #1EB5
I like the minutemen ending the best.

@Meanlucario
4bos had to go tho, they were racist against curie so i killed them all.

@Angrybrony
Very much so. The FO3/4 BoS were much more social than the NV one.

@Background Pony #1EB5
i mean they’d have to at some point. if it wasn’t this it’d a game down the line, this isn’t mass effect.

@Meanlucario
it was also a different chapter under a different leader.

@Wiimeiser
Maybe they were homophobic in NV, but I could be misremembering. That would be the only time though. And they aren’t racist. They don’t like ghouls or supermutants, though that’s the closest they are to racism.

@Wiimeiser
No they are not against humans. They are not fans of mutants, synths or ghouls however. BOS should be using the T51 PA but Bethesda really likes their own T60 so bleh.

@Background Pony #1EB5
The Brotherhood is racist and possibly homophobic, correct? Well, apparently the showrunner is the same, but don’t quote me on that. Also, the BoS Power Armor is iconic to the series.

So it seems the Fallout show have revealed:

@Mikey
It will not, I was shocked at having 5+ min load times on an nvme, especially in downtown Boston. I am hoping the next gen update that comes on the 25th will have improved load times. Only guessing here though.

@Meanlucario
That’s exactly what I’ve said before. The big push for better graphics was never for the benefit of gamers, or if it was, it stopped being about them a long time ago. Now, it’s to wow investors, shareholders, and other people who don’t play video games, whose view of video games is permanently trapped in the days of the Atari 2600 or the NES.
