Fallout Series: Because Arguing Never Changes

Some ten years ago, I found a Hungarian Fallout fansite that had a long list of hilarious "reverse wishes", ie. wishes that are actually curses, done Fallout style.

Off the top of my head, I only remember one: "May you get jacked off with a Power Fist!"

EDIT: I found the site! The full list is here, translated for your amusement:

Gotta love how this episode ends. Next one is on Dogs of the Wasteland.

I got them all

Suddenly Three Dog.

Three-Dog? Nice. I forget, wasn't there a cameo by another canon character?

There was Gary. And I think I saw something about an Elder Scrolls VA showing up for that Lore series.

What smells like Brahmin shit around here?

And that's the end of Season 2.

And so another good season comes to and end... Thanks for introducing me to this channel man, appreciated!

Until Fallout 4 is announced, I'd recommend fans to try giving the first two games a shot, they may have not aged greatly but there is a hidden gem, I had a blast. (The upcoming Mad Max seems also seems like another way to scratch your post-apocalyptic stitch)

What does everyone want to see in Fallout 4?

Obsidian getting an actual budget and time to make the game.

Which is already unlikely, so I try not to hope for much else.

A blend of both Fallout 3 and New Vegas. But in an engine that doesn't fall over and die every few hours in a playthrough.

Obsidian's NOT going to get the gig to do Fallout 4 - that ship's probably sailed anyway due to how pissed off and angry they are that Bethsoft did them out of bonus moneys thanks to a Metacritic score only one point fewer than the contract they signed demanded of them. (Of course, they DID sign the contract, so it's their fault for getting blinded by the dollar signs they could have made if things had gone perfectly for them instead of either getting a better up-front deal or telling Bethesda where to go if they didn't get it.)

They might get the Gaiden Game gig, a New Vegas 2 if you will, but even that's highly unlikely at this stage. Obsidian are doing their own successful thing at the moment and probably don't need the hassle of appeasing both a rabid fanbase and rabid publishers in the shape of Zeni Max Media.

Some kind of New Vegas 2 would be nice, with some more snark and black humour, so I guess I'd basically like a blend of New Vegas and Fallout 2. Probably not gonna happen though.

I'm trying not to think of what the story could be, it probably won't measure up to New Vegas, for me at least. For the engine, I'm hoping for stuff like in the Skyrim engine; dual wielding, maybe a better way of leveling up... oh, and hopefully better stealth.

I love New Vegas, a lot actually. That's backed up by the ever increasing number of hours ticked off in my Steam library's entry for the game. But it's Fallout 3 that convinced me to give the franchise a third try after I had a go at both Fallout 1 and Fallout 2 and really didn't see anything worth picking out to like among the disappointment I felt with my purchase of both games.

Compared to other RP Gs I had been playing at the time they were technically backward and seemed to delight in it.

Fallout 3? Once I had finished the opening sequence, which you should really be able to skip in its entirety on a second playthrough given that you can rebuild your character just before you exit Vault 101, and walked out into the Capital Wasteland, I felt that I had come home.

It was the transition to the third dimension that swung it for me, much as it was GTA III's adoption of that same thing which made me like the Grand Theft Auto universe's installments since. Well, most of them anyway... It gave the game weight.

What I personally would really love for a future installment of the franchise, post-Fallout 4, would be if Zeni Max Media managed to snatch the STALKER franchise from the idiot who currently owns it and killed STALKER 2 for some idiot reason or other, and managed to weld both of them together in a game that showed how the Resource Wars kicked off, and how the Zone's influence stopped Russia from being the U.S. nation's main enemy in the Great War.

I really need to watch Mad Max.

Playing Fallout 2. Is there someplace I can easily obtain minigun ammo? Damn thing runs out pretty fast, but I found tons of ammo in the first game, mostly thanks to the gun runners. It's almost Too Awesome to Use.

Wasn't it said that Bethesda was doing the numbered Fallout titles and Obsidian would do the non-numbered ones?

I don't think anyone official ever said that, but it is what most people assume.

Try the weapons merchants in NCR or San Francisco. Their inventory replenishes every couple of days or so.

Otherwise the random encounters may provide guys from whom you can loot ammo, especially between NCR, New Reno and San Francisco.

So...does this mean The Storyteller was Tallius?

It's possible. He might have lied about Tallius still being with the Followers. What interests me is the song at the end. That was hilarious, because they used the tune to Charlie Daniels' Uneasy Rider songs. There were two of them about a guy stopping at a bar during a long trip. One version has him driving alone and running into a hick bar where he had to talk his way out of a beating. The other has him unwittingly going to a gay bar with a male friend, who dances with a "woman" who's later revealed to be a man. Both amusing, if you can overlook the stereotypical Country prejudices from that era.

What makes you think The Storyteller was Tallius?

He'd be quite old if that was true.
