So a new Fallout show comes out today and I thought while I'm still ahead of the curve I'd give my ranking of the mainline games. Don't let Todd Howard see this.

    Fallout 4 is an awful game. I’ve put 3000 hours in it

    Fallout 3 is about a vault dweller finding their father Fallout 4 is about a vault dweller finding their son who’s called father Fallout show is about a vault dweller finding their father Stellar creativity from Bethesda

    I think the reason fallout 4 dialogue is so small compared to other games is because of the voiced protagonist, imagine having to voice all the protagonist dialogue in fallout new vegas...

    As much of a pain in the ass the timer is in Fallout 1, I actually respect the developers for implementing it

    fallout 76 might not be perfect, but i have so many fond memories of this game, meeting high levels who are super nice, exploring the beautiful world, theres so much to love about this game, and im super upset that it didnt have as much time in the oven as it needed at launch because now the legacy it left is still attached to the game all these years later

    The fallout franchise has so much potential and it’s upsetting that it’s Bethesda that has it because they aren’t the same team that made Skyrim. Starfield disappointed me more than Cyberpunk because at least that game had a rock solid foundation in a VERY interesting world.

    Fallout 76 over 4 and fallout 3 right after is wild

    Fallout 3 will always hold a special place in my heart It was one of the first games i ever played, and i loved almost every bit of it I probably played through the game a dozen times

    What makes the Railroad funny to me is that almost every playthrough I've watched, they will kill them so they don't have to wait for tinker tom to decode the Courser Chip because of how long he takes.
  • Not the Billy Cobb album we deserved, but the Billy Cobb album we needed

    28:20 Actually the Charisma system for companions was implemented in FO2. FO1 has 4 companions and you can have all 4 at the same time no matter your Charisma value. FO2 has around 14 companions, but you can only have up to 5 depending on your Charisma.

    Another thing about the Yes-Man ending is that it's so secretly sinister, especially with the final lines in the game if you go their route. Yes-man hints and nudges the entire game about the overall level of his AI sentience and while it's been waved away by the game's creator, I can't help to think that we as the Courier essentially spent the entire game thinking we'd be the King/Queen of New Vegas when in actuality we're bringing about a Terminator world. It's like that's one of the doomsday theories about AI, not that we'll see apocalypse by having the robots become self-aware and determine we're obsolete, but the more likely scenario is that the robots will take advantage of human weakness and folly and use us to destroy ourselves. When I first heard that (from the Ordinary Things YT channel on the subject) I immediately had a brain blast as to why the Yes-man writing was actually so incredibly, incredibly brilliant. Mostly, because of how well Yes-man fools you into thinking THEY'RE working for YOU.

    I love a good video essay from someone I’ve never heard or thought would deliver a video essay.
  • Where is the intro!? I wanted to see Leon L. Kennedy do the funny stick man dance 😔

    In Fallout 3 you gain Speech Options based upon your character's build, going beyond the basic Speech Skill, many of which are "hidden" unless you possess the requisite specs. Heck, there's companions that will only join you if you're Good, Neutral or Bad.
