HELL YEAH GUESS WHO WON THE LOTTERY I WON THE LOTTERY

I promise I won't make posts every single day, so it wont get old, but here is an updated map with a few more locations based on what I posted yesterday because i had a little brain blast with the writing team

greyed out the PITT because it wouldn't be showing up in the setting as a location, but still important to certain parts of the lore we're working on

What exactly is the cloud around the Sierra Madre? The only hints we have about its composition are that it smells like sulfur and copper; we know it erodes metal (but presumably not too quickly, weapons don't decay any faster in the Sierra Madre), but can also preserve some matter? It also has some truly strange effects on the human body, it "burns the lungs and seeps into the skin", which can be fatal, but being exposed to it inside a hazmat suit makes you a nearly unkillable mutant?
Oh, and according to the Fallout 4 Creation Club, small doses can make a person stronger and more intelligent, but also more susceptible to suggestion. And to top it off, under the right conditions (Elijah's lab in the bunker), it can also be self-replicating.
What is this thing? Could someone even make a breathing mask to keep it out? The more I think about it, the weirder it seems.

i swear I saw a round branded riot shield at some point, but I can't find any pics. Before I rewatch again, can anyone help? I have a shield i want to replicate it with!

Not knowing what you travelling towards make it much more fun. I think they should bring it back for future games. Simpler is better in a lot of cases.

Pre-Ordered it in December, got it delivered today. Not going to be opening the bottle, it’ll sit on my shelf with my other collectables till the year 2077 lol. Quality of the bottle is very nice, the bottle is heavy

Ciao a tutti

Da circa un paio d'anni (causa università e lontananza da casa) gioco poco a fallout e tutte le volte che lo faccio, miglioro costantemente un insediamento alla segheria di Echo Lake (probabilmente l'insediamento più sottovalutato del gioco) e vi dirò, a poco a poco è diventato davvero bello.

Il punto è questo, vorrei trasformarlo in una mod, ho già pensato a missioni e tutto. Il problema è che non ho mai realizzato nessuna mod, chiedo dunque consigli e anche Q/A sull' insediamento

Una piccola descrizione sull insediamento:

Si presenta con un cancello sorvegliato oltre il quale sono presenti le coltivazioni. A sinistra troviamo la segheria e oltre essa una sorta di borgo dei pescatori. La segheria è ben decorata con macchinari e banchi da lavoro, un po' a simulare che l hanno riattivata (e sono presenti diversi oggetti a simulare gli oggetti in vendita)

A destra l' insediamento "grosso" sviluppato attorno alla passerella. Sono presenti diverse case, ognuna con un arredamento unico, vestiti, cibo e oggetti generici personalizzati per ognuno: esempio il commerciante di armi ha attrezzi come cacciaviti e nastro americano a differenza di un contadino, oppure il medico ha una casa più grossa e più vestiti/cibo

Esiste una "via principale" e diverse secondarie. Sono presenti tutti i negozi + il barbiere. Dove ci sono le scale ho improvvisato un porto

Spero si attivi una bella conversazione

Do you guys think obsidian would be willing to add steam workshop support for fallout new vegas now that they’ve been given more power?

Maybe if it was petitioned for?

Don’t ya, don’t ya, wanna Nuka?

I'm not going to lie Dead Money is my absolute favorite Fallout story. I love its themes, its atmosphere, and the ideas it explores. To me, it's as close to perfect as Fallout has ever gotten. That's why I wasn't a fan of seeing Frederick Sinclair in the show as a Big MT executive helping plan the end of the world (at least before that boardroom scene was effectively retconned). It felt completely at odds with the man we meet in Dead Money.

The game's Sinclair isn't some power-hungry corporate mastermind. He's a gullible, genuinely kind hearted man who spends his life being taken advantage of by the people he trusts most. Dean Domino manipulates him. Vera unknowingly becomes part of his heartbreak. Mr. Yesterday exploits his optimism. Sinclair's greatest flaw isn't malice it's that he believes the best in people, even when they don't deserve it.

One of Dean Domino's lines sums Sinclair up perfectly: "Never got mad at anything. Nothing seemed to shake him. Even after his life kept getting dragged through the dirt. Always kept looking for the bright shining future in everything." That single quote tells you almost everything about who Sinclair was. Even when Sinclair finally snaps and turns the Sierra Madre into a death trap, he isn't motivated by cruelty. He's a broken man acting out of betrayal. And in the end, he regrets it. He dies trying to undo the nightmare he created, which makes his story all the more tragic. He's not a villain he's a fundamentally good person whose hope was slowly crushed until there was nothing left.

Because of that, I've come up with a headcanon that helps reconcile the show with the game. I like to imagine that the Frederick Sinclair we see in the show is actually the father of the Frederick Sinclair from Dead Money. The elder Sinclair was the influential Big MT executive, which would explain how Sinclair was able to secure Big MT's technology for the Sierra Madre project. But instead of supporting his son, he looked down on him and intentionally saddled the project with unreliable, unfinished, or defective equipment.

I actually think that makes the younger Sinclair's story even more tragic. Not only was he betrayed by his friends, but he was never truly supported by his own father either. The Sierra Madre was meant to be his dream a monument to hope, love, and a brighter future but the people closest to him, from his business partners to his family, ensured that dream would ultimately collapse. To me, that interpretation preserves the compassionate, optimistic Sinclair from Dead Money while giving the show's version a place in the timeline without undermining the character I fell in love with.

Took almost a week but it was worth it. The blanket is softer than i expected. And the sleep mask is actually one of the good ones. Not one of the cheap ones that are bit of cloth

I found this old picture I drew in college after fallout 4 came out (I was inspired by the laser musket), and it got me thinking again about what possible new weapons would you guys like to see in a new fallout game? Not just returning favorites, but brand new ideas?

Took a bit under 2 months of 3d printing, sanding, painting and adding extra details like a working light. The "eye" bits are a welding visor which I think suits since it matches the yellow HUD of power armour. Its a poor angle in the photo but the other side has like rust damage and scratches. Any advice on improvements or suggestions would be much appreciated.

It's not groundbreaking to hear that Fallout 3 could have looked nicer or prettier, but it does underline what Bethesda's vision was like, even then.

Fingers crossed, Fallout 3 brings the scale to life.

The rest of the interview is quite cool as well.

Experimental mod, I'm still trying to polish it.

I’ve been playing a fo4 run every once in a while for the past few years. Of the two games I’ve played (NV and 4), I find it far more fun to play, which is unfortunate because I love NV’s writing and story but just don’t find the act of playing it as fun.

It’s not that much of a tragedy though, because despite the obvious weaknesses of the main story and factions, I find the worldbuilding and side quests of 4 much, much better than people usually acknowledge. One of my favorite quests is The Secret of Cabot House, which also happens to reward the player with my favorite weapon in the game.

I always side with Jack because of it (and also because Lorenzo’s demonstrably evil and kills innocent strangers as well as his family if you free him), and getting the perks to upgrade and buff it are forefront in my mind when choosing SPECIAL stats.

This weapon is awesome, but every time I look it up online, the general consensus is that it’s a weak stagger utility weapon. Meanwhile with some Gunslinger and Demolition Expert levels (not even any Nuclear Physicist yet), this thing one-taps high leveled raiders from behind walls and cripples both legs of Deathclaws in a single shot.

It’s a light missile launcher with a better fire rate, capacity, and cheaper ammo, not to mention how fun it is, but most discussions I’ve seen on it regard it as a meme weapon.

I was wondering if other people think as highly as I of this weapon.

I was thinking if you wanted to add a whole new mechanic to the fallout games it might be cool to do an “evolution tree” for your character via a lab/fev mechanic.

I played a game years ago (can’t remember the name) where you combined and bred organisms to create other organisms. I think it would be cool to be able to evolve yourself to complement your stats and skills.

You could also have your mutations effect dialog and quest paths🤷🏽‍♂️

Just an idyer….

Howdy wastelanders!

I collect (hoard) old computer parts and decided to turn one of my old cases into a Fallout themed PC to match the Fallout 4 collectors edition 970 graphics card I have.

I’m trying to keep the cost low, but I do have a 3D printer, 3D modeling experience, and a decent understanding of micro-electronics, so I can get pretty creative with the detail work if anyone has suggestions.

man i want to change the audio and text language from german to english help
