That scene was so absolutely beyond moronic. I dont care about retcons or whatever. This is the type of stuff that made this show shit
>I dont care about retcons or whatever. This is the type of stuff that made this show shit
A BoS knight being a c**t is not a retcon.
In fact, it retconned the retcon by Toddy and Co. making the BoS the "heroes".
In FO1 they're just self absorbed c**ts who care about nobody but themselves. Good thing the show unfricked them.
Love seeing Toddies seethe at this.
Also, I don't even get the outrage at this, because Maximus is BoS too. And Maximus' "you don't deserve to wear that armor" line is pretty much what you whiners think the BoS should be. So there you have it! You morons complaining about this think that Titus represented all the BoS, when he didn't even represent the BoS in this particular scene because Maximus shut him down.
>Maximus is BoS too. And Maximus' "you don't deserve to wear that armor" line is pretty much what you whiners think the BoS should be.
He has a naive and idealized version of the BoS which heavily conflicted with Titus. I thought that was neat
>In FO1 they're just self absorbed c**ts who care about nobody but themselves
Except in the ending slide where they share tech with the outside world (atleast NCR/Hub/Boneyard) and become a neutral R&D house. Though tbf "good" end slides are sort of happily ever after scenarios that generally leave not much else to be explored
Yeah, but that's only after the vault dweller causes them to rethink their ways leading to their marked difference in fallout 2
It is still the canon ending though
And NV fricked them up
My problem is that the guy is wounded and he's saying to the only guy who can help him "When you help me, I'll make sure you'll get tortured in the most horrible way imaginable and then put to death".
Why would you do that in that situation? You're supposed to be at least somewhat intelligent. I thought it was a test when I watched it. Like, the Knight is pretending to be gravely wounded, and all that mistreatment of squires is just to make sure their loyalty is unwavering.
But turns out that no, TV-BoS are a bunch of moronic bullies who spend literal decades raising and training squires only to treat them like expendable garbage.
>TV-BoS are a bunch of moronic bullies who spend literal decades raising and training squires only to treat them like expendable garbage.
Yea, so?
It's kinda silly, you know? They were pretty pragmatic apart from their stupid "get moar tech" goal. You're just wasting resources at this point.
>nu fallout fans are so moronic that they think being a bad person is about being mean and evil all the time even when it's fricking stupid and obviously works directly against your own interests

> The browning of America has seriously damaged the average intelligence
Post proof
This literally describes the rich morons in Amerilard who devalued the petrodollar and wimpified the military only to see Russia and China swoop into the power gap they had deliberately engineered and take it for themselves while they're left holding the bag.
They're the same kind of morons who are trying to build bunkers without realizing that the help they hire to build them and go in with them will murder them without hesitation.
Literal Russian propaganda.
>My problem is that the guy is wounded and he's saying to the only guy who can help him "When you help me, I'll make sure you'll get tortured in the most horrible way imaginable and then put to death".
Yeah because he's an entitled c**t who hid behind is power armor and he thinks his squire is so cucked that he will do what he says, and willingly accepts his punishment, because "them's the rules" of the power he hides behind.
/v/s media literacy is literally non existent.
It's stupid. He's being stupid. He saw Maximus hesitate before going into the cave. He saw Maximus hesitate before taking the shot. He presumably knows Maximus is a bad apple, assuming he's the PA guy from his interrogation. It's just sloppy writing IMO.
To add, that wouldn't work even in medieval times. We think of peasants as entirely subservient but they revolted all the fricking time.
That’s fricking moronic, but the cope for this show being good relies on everyone in being fricking moronic.
Muh “satire” isn’t cover for writing everyone like an alien.
>media literacy
Unironically consider suicide.
Why Brotherhood of Steel would even have any form of punishment for its members other than banishment? Feeding intestines to vultures, what? They are just a military group hoarding technology, at worst they should just shoot you with laser if you steal their technology on account of being a thief, not being a frick up.
Clearly something very fricking wrong happened to this particular BoS chapter.
>Clearly something very fricking wrong happened to this particular BoS chapter.
this chapter incorporated the Legion
that would explain the sudden Roman names and the whole indoctrination ritual
I have no idea how a BoS chapter would "incorporate" the Legion but eh. In that case I wish they'd show more indoctrination. We only see Maximus getting beaten up, which is later revealed to be completely random.
>I wish they'd show more indoctrination
This is such a bizzare concept that people just make up or buy Brotherhood of Steel would ever incorporate. If you are useful, you are in, if you aren't, you're not in. That's it. In Fallout 1 you literally just show up to BoS chapter and ask if you can join in. A lot of people choose to join BoS simply because of security and advanced weaponry they have, like realistically, if you were too weak to survive on your own, why wouldn't you try to become a scribe in BoS if you can at least read.
>tfw this group is from the maxson bunker in colorado that had run ins with the legion
Bravo Avellone.
Holy shit it's literally impossible to not be convinced the Legion has merged with the BoS. Honestly the best "twist" they could have came up with.
Only question which remains is whether the BoS absorbed the Legion or if the Legion actually managed to take over completely somehow
More like the BoS eastern branch conquered Legion Encampments but spared their citizenry by recruitment and then eventually they created a subculture with Legion values inside the Brotherhood.
In Fallout 76, the Brotherhood is literally just remnants of rogue military branches that hadn't become sycophantic yet, but it was showing signs that the newer recruits were more indulged in superstitions over the rational mission of retrieving dangerous tech like they were meant to.
East Coast BoS is very dumb
It would be cool if US Army remnants across the US organized themselves in response to there not being a government anymore but all of them becoming Maxsonboos stretches credibility
ITS THE SYNTHESIS
Bravo Todd, bravo.
>red banners
ITS THE LEGION AAAAAAAA
>Legion gets destroyed at hoover dam (by house)
>leftower legionaries incorporated in BoS since they dont like NCR much and BoS still salty about Helios one, after courier sided with them, they would accept more new people in. This is why maximus was taken in the first place. Some Legion beliefs bleed into this chapter of BoS but without chainging the main core beliefs of BoS.
So it would explain Latin names and the red banners despite Blue being associated with western brotherhood, and red with eastern.
>leftower legionaries incorporated in BoS Backward fricking tribals who barely functioned as a society only because of Caesar's rule are the last people the BoS would take in. They also weren't bitter at the NCR over Helios One. They all agreed it was a stupid endeavour by Elder Elijah that cost them greatly against a foe that outnumbered them.
Maximus is from the east coast. The dudes in the show are Maxson's boys, and it's easy to tell because they're running the same blimp that was in FO4.
it's unclear what the frick is the deal with them, honestly. the BoS base scenes were shot in Utah, and it's unclear if they're actually supposed to be in California, except that they're within vertibird distance of the forest near Filly... that was shot in upstate New York.
maybe i missed some dialogue, but it felt like the Prydwen arriving was some big deal, as if the East Coast just rolled into town.
he could just be talking shit. seemed very much like something that guy would do just to frick with the squire
And why would you continue to frick with someone as you are bleeding out?
he was angry and stupid, and possibly couldn't imagine a lowly squire doing anything other than serving his whims? does that really seem so outlandish?
Cos he was a c**t basically
It was just a reason invented so they could get the character in Power Armor early, also it makes both of them look like c**ts, Maximus has absolutely no reason not to use a stimpack and he has no reason to threaten the nig while he's dying.
This is just dumb writing.
>Maximus has absolutely no reason not to use a stimpack
You mean besides escaping unfair punishment?
The Brotherhood of Steal
It's okay, anon. I thought it was funny.

>But turns out that no, TV-BoS are a bunch of moronic bullies who spend literal decades raising and training squires only to treat them like expendable garbage
Art imitates life
did you all miss the part at the end where the elder confronts Maximus about how Titus died, then says 'sounds like the idiot deserved it - by the way, the brotherhood has lost it's way and gotten soft, do you want to help me whip it back into shape?' the show blatantly admits the brotherhood we see is aimless and weak compared to the organization we've seen before.
I haven't finished the series yet.
>where the elder confronts Maximus about how Titus died, then says 'sounds like the idiot deserved it - by the way, the brotherhood has lost it's way and gotten soft, do you want to help me whip it back into shape?'
So if Brotherhood was run like a military organization, which it kinda is/was, wouldn't they just watch the performance of Knights and promote/demote them according to that? And yet here they need magical savant Black to realize that making some guy a Knight for life and giving him a suit of armor and a total control over life and death of anyone below him in rank is not a very good idea!
if you're just mad at the fact that maximus is a jig, say so off the hop kek... i don't even know what the rest of your post is getting mad about, but at least finish the series before you start b***hing. the question of how the brotherhood will respond to maximus's actions is kind of a big, recurring one throughout the series. spoilers: maximus admits titus was running away when he died and that he watched titus die instead of helping him. the elder approves because he says the brotherhood has devolved into a bunch of weak pansies and he was impressed maximus had the balls to let the weaker man die and seize the opportunity for himself, something he wants the rest of the knights to learn. he would have executed titus for running anyway.
Maximus is fine, he''s just doing what he can to survive. I don't like how Brohood devolved.
>I haven't finished the series yet.
typical
Exactly what I thought. Everyone behaves like a complete moron in this show, even the Enclave guy who's supposed to be a genius. He knows he's got a target on his back but strolls around in broad daylight like it's nothing.
Not many people seem to complain about this, but then again I guess moronic people expect everybody else to be moronic. Unfortunately they're the overwhelming majority.
Why would a scientist who's lived in a cushy isolated enclave facility know anything about traversing the wasteland beyond whatever lab rats the soldiers bring home?

You can't explain why even an butthole would demand someone save him while also simultaniously explaining exactly why he shouldn't be saved. It's fricking stupid.

Do you think if the israelites were honest about their intentions that goyim would do what they said, dipshit? You don't get people to do what you want by promising them harm even if they follow through, you do it by promising reward if they succeed (irrespective of your ability or willingness to actually make good on such promise), and suggest punishment if and only if they refuse to try. This dumbfrick scenario presented in the fallout show is completely bereft of basic logic. The writers literally do not understand how motivation and insentives work. Probably because they're nepotistic morons who have never conciously made a decision even once in their lives.
>Do you think if the israelites were honest about their intentions that goyim would do what they said, dipshit?
They might as well be now, and there's still no shortage of goyim that are willing to die for them regardless. Any reward-seeking behavior can be overwritten with sufficient amount of propaganda.
Do you think there is a significant difference between a person who's willing to die for a government that openly hates him and wishes him harm and a person willing to die for a lord who openly hates him and wishes him harm?
>and a person willing to die for a lord who openly hates him and wishes him harm?
Believe it or not, openly tyrannical shitheads like that tended to get assassinated by their subordinates.
1 int build
Literally in the first game, it is established that the Brotherhood is just a bunch of people descended from the ex-military dudes and some vault dwellers, and they give visitors wanting to join a bullshit suicide mission to go grab literally anything proving they went to the Glow. The protagonist does so, and then they all react in shock. They basically only let you in because they think
>Damn, this guy is way more badass than we are. We'll probably regret turning him away.
Then the treat you like a shitty initiate and give you junk-tier gear until you rescue one of their preexisting members to earn yourself some power armor. Then if you ask what they want, they want to send you on ANOTHER suicide mission that no one else is willing to do to scout out the mutant base (which they don't even know exists, they only know there are mutants around). Then if you suggest a raid on the base, they send a token force of 3 dudes with you who are almost completely useless, and just say
>Good luck, dude. You're crazy.
They were always a bunch of reclusive cowards hiding in their base with their armor and weapons but never using them. It took the NCR taking over all of California to pressure them into being more active, which is what the Fallout 2 ending says is what happens. And then they (or a faction of them) STILL decide to escape to the Mojave in Fallout New Vegas to continue being isolationist cowards.

I don't agree with anything you've said, I am just pointing out that by your logic the show retconned BoS to be like pre-Todd BoS and show mocks it and tells that version of BoS it's unworthy of being BoS, when Maximus's idea of being BoS is using power armor to protect chicken frickers from Reddit from disagreements with chicken owners, and you are wondering why people are mad. Even though Titus hasn't acted anything like either Todd's BoS or real BoS. Your logic just doesn't compute with itself.
>I don't agree with anything you've said
You don't have to. I am right though.
>when Maximus's idea of being BoS is using power armor to protect chicken frickers from Reddit from disagreements with chicken owners,
So your problem is "Reddit"? Compelling argument. Maximus believed that the armor needs to be earned. He tried to save someone from getting killed, which is fair behavior for a squir(in fact, just became squire) like him who still has to, and wants to, prove himself. Your own made up connection to reddit cringe is yours to keep.
Maximus saving Lucy is also not characteristic for the BoS, but it works in the confines of his character, who's trying to figure things out as he goes along.
>Titus hasn't acted anything like either Todd's BoS or real BoS
The fallacy of thinking that the BoS and all its members are to 100% behaviorally tied to the (limited) versions we've seen in the games is not even worth discussing. Its not just a dumb thing to say, its utterly disappointing that you out yourself willingy to be such an idiot.
Titus character not 1:1 existing in the games, does not mean he can't exist. In fact he can very well exist by just looking at teh examples present in FO1&2 and how the (again, limited) BoS members are acting. Just the c**t telling the player to frick off, gives enough leeway for Titus existing.
I've given you the necessary information, at one point, you will accept it.
>Titus character not 1:1 existing in the games, does not mean he can't exist. In fact he can very well exist by just looking at teh examples present in FO1&2 and how the (again, limited) BoS members are acting. Just the c**t telling the player to frick off, gives enough leeway for Titus existing.
No it's not. You never see anyone in the BoS treating one of their own lower than a fricking slave. The image of armor-clad knight trodding through the wasteland with a squire carrying a comically large back behind is absurd. Any military has some hazing, more or less, but when it comes to actually operating in hostile territory you generally want to cover ground efficiently.
>So your problem is "Reddit"?
It's not, I don't know how you came to such a conclusion unless you just have no argument and decided to contretate on entirely irrelevant thing.
>Maximus believed that the armor needs to be earned. He tried to save someone from getting killed, which is fair behavior for a squir(in fact, just became squire) like him who still has to, and wants to, prove himself.
Which is nonsense. It's true that Brotherhood of Steel armor has to be earned, by being useful, to Brotherhood of Steel, whereas Maximus somehow grew up literally in the Brotherhood of Steel and also has entirely different idea of what Brotherhood of Steel is supposed to be. Why would resolving wasteland's disputes be anything anyone from BoS think is their job?
>The fallacy of thinking that the BoS and all its members are to 100% behaviorally tied to the (limited) versions we've seen in the games is not even worth discussing. Its not just a dumb thing to say, its utterly disappointing that you out yourself willingy to be such an idiot.
While it is true, you however are the one contradicting your own argument by calling out such a fallacy as your original argument was
>A BoS knight being a c**t is not a retcon.
>In fact, it retconned the retcon by Toddy and Co. making the BoS the "heroes".
>In FO1 they're just self absorbed c**ts who care about nobody but themselves. Good thing the show unfricked them.
>Love seeing Toddies seethe at this.
So you both argue that show BoS is a return to form for Fallout, which it isn't, and you argue that Titus is consistent with BoS and isn't, which he isn't. Make up your mind?
>I've given you the necessary information, at one point, you will accept it.
You are as consistent as this show's writing.
>I don't know how you came to such a conclusion unless you just have no argument and decided to contretate on entirely irrelevant thing.
Or rather... because you literally said Reddit as an argument.
>whereas Maximus somehow grew up literally in the Brotherhood of Steel and also has entirely different idea of what Brotherhood of Steel is supposed to be. Why would resolving wasteland's disputes be anything anyone from BoS think is their job?
Utter nonsense. Again you prove that you 0 media literacy. Maximus knows what the BoS is about. But he's an initiate(you can't even properly recognize hims as Squire yet, since its his first day), without proper field training. He knows the armor has to be earned and while making his way from A to B simply intervenes where he sees fit. It has nothing to do with BoS dogmatics. Once again your smoothbrain takes the actions of one, as representative for the entire thing. Maximus is in a situation in which he basically stole a power armor and knows frick-all about what to do, hoping that eventually recovering the target will make them forgive him.
Also, his actions and lies throughout the show, portray him as an opportunist first and foremost. He's a coward who wants to be a hero
>So you both argue that show BoS is a return to form for Fallout, which it isn't, and you argue that Titus is consistent with BoS and isn't, which he isn't. Make up your mind?
Good for you posting that. I mean why not show everyone who utterly moronic you are. There's no contradiction there. I directly said that the BoS we see in FO1&2 perfectly allows a character like Titus to exist. Which is different from the BoS in 3&4 which would be a very different BoS.
Titus isn't consistent with the BoS(which I never said btw) but he can exist in the confines of the BoS in 1&2.
I mean you literally quoted me and still there was no alarm going off inside your head, keeping you from making this moronic reply.
I think we're done here.
>Or rather... because you literally said Reddit as an argument.
No? I used it as a description.
>Maximus knows what the BoS is about.
Again, a contradiction, as again, it's a point you've made that in Maximus's belief Titus isn't worthy of the power armor, even though the only thing that would constitute worth is usefulness to the Brotherhood of Steel, and the only way to prove yourself to be useful to Brotherhood of Steel is hoard technology and make sure wasteland doesn't get its hands on it. Whch is clearly established as a different idea of what Maximus thinks BoS should be if you've actually watched the show, despite being raised by them. Even fricking Quintus, after Maximus admits that he lied to him and killed Titus, said BoS somehow has lost its way and he needs more men like Maximus? The show literally hammers that point in that you yourself are making and now you are trying to convince me it's not the point the show is making, nor that it's the point you've made twice now.
> I directly said that the BoS we see in FO1&2 perfectly allows a character like Titus to exist.
No one from BoS in Fallout 1 and 2 were fricking stupid, and Titus is fricking moronic. Frick off with this shit, Titus doesn't make sense in ANY of Fallout's iterations of BoS.
A retcon of a retcon is still a retcon, Bethapologist
>In FO1 they're just self absorbed c**ts who care about nobody but themselves. Good thing the show unfricked them.
Yeah, but they also had camarderie, a sense of purpose and power. In the show every single member of BoS is a literal moron. "hurf durf they sent us to retrieve a toaster oven." *holds up spork* type random bullshit.
>Love seeing Toddies seethe at this.
Cope. Bethesdagays love the show, it's you obsiditrannies who in a constant meltdown over it
>Brotherhood knights acted like feudal lords, disregarded their mission to shoot up shit when they felt like it, had no discipline and ran like pussies at the sight of a Yao Guai
Yeah no, that doesn't fit any Fallout. Three retcons don't cancel each other out.
>disregarded their mission to shoot up shit when they felt like it
Which somehow inexplicably puts them right on the track for their target. What a coincidence.
Also how did old dude escape the bear? We never see that.

No one except redditors thought this. Even 4 spells it out fot you.

I mean, yeah. They want to atomize the Institute but atomizing glowBlack folk is a time honored BoS tradition going all the way back to their founding.
>they want to atomize the institute
are they the brotherhood of steel or the luddites of steel are they moronic blowing up all that tech
It is a criticism for sure. The Brotherhood were never really in the business of destroying tech, but hoarding it away from anyone else who might use it nefariously. Hell, the whole reason why they went for Helios One was because they knew about Archimedes and they did not want to destroy that.
They want to blow up the synth tech, which is the only thing of real note at the Institute base tbh (aside from the reactor). Most everything else of note that the Institute accomplished was all in their collected data, which the BoS saved for analysis before destroying the place. Maxson's boys did the same shit with the Enclave and saved all the useful info after that fight too, this isn't really out of character for them.
Being fair, it was an evil lab that represented an exestential threat to humanity (breaking down of human trust by replacing people with dopplegangers). Such tech could hardly be used constructively.
You arguably could use it constructively, but it does get into the question of
>why not just use, y'know, robots n' stuff to sweep the floors?
There's probably a lot of helpful material in the Institute's crop program and their FEV data but you don't exactly need a human printer for any of that.
They also had stocks for growing food; the hydroponics labs for example. And with the technlogy there it could provide a wealth of knowledge in terms of medicine, as well as the dangerous threat that is the synths.
Destroying the whole thing is cathartic from a game standpoint but not really as sensible as going in and taking things apart bit by bit to learn what you can do with the tech.
The Commonwealth doesn't seem to have actual trouble with food security as long as they aren't being shot (by muties the Institute keeps dumping on them). With the BoS and Minutemen providing security you likely get food production back up in a couple of years. Shit, the Commonwealth was in the middle of transforming into a regional power before the nerds started bodysnatching people.
I never got the impression in FO1 they were "self absorbed", they just wanted to be left alone and didn't trust outsiders. Them sending the Vault Dweller and other applicants to the Glow is a bit shady, but I don't think they meant to deliberately meant to send them to their death, they just wanted them to piss off because anyone with common sense would take one look at the Glow and run away fast. They remind me of those gregorian monks who sat in abbeys all day writing books about ancient history. NV and 4 Brotherhoods are c**ts, though.
brotherhood in 4 is based. the institute are so over the top evil that the brotherhood seem reasonable by comparison. the brotherhood interacts with the Commonwealth by strong-arming crops from settlements and gathering up technology. the institute interacts with the Commonwealth by kidnapping and killing it's residents, and replacing them with android copies.
I agree, not even because the brotherhood is good but because the Institute is shit. The 2 Enclave had a reason for why they did all the awful shit they did, and while the 3 Enclave didn't, they were being run by a crazy old computer that didn't fully understand the ramifications of what it wanted. I still don't get why the Institute did all the mad science shit they did, it literally served zero practical purpose, except for that one mutant guy who was trying to cure the super mutants. If synths are supposed to be robo slaves, why make them all hyper advanced and Blade Runner style? Why not just keep them as those weird skeleton ones that weren't sentient? 4 just had a horrible story all around.
If you played Fallout 1, John Maxson hated the state the Brotherhood was and the other elders being morons with him being the HIgh Elder having to deal with them, even when the Master's army were almost at their door.
The Vault Dweller was a blessing for his sore eyes because of his altruism and benevolence, something Roger Maxson was.
Plus, all of the Brotherhood's shitshows came after Roger Maxson died and His Son took over, where Isolatonist butthole Brotherhood began because he started to rebel against roger and see the Brotherhood something akin to a High order in the wastes.
All because His son didnt went through the same life Roger came.
A good example of this shitshow, is Battletech, with ol Aleksander Kerensky himself, and his moronic butthole son Nicholas who created the butthole Clan Society we came to know to fulfil his ego and his shitty scholarship by the Fricking Capellans on Earth.
Every time when the Brotherhood tries to go back to their Origins of Benevolence and Reintroduce Tech when people were ready a-la Canticle of Leibowitz style, Some other butthole at the brotherhood goes full Praetorian Guard + Senate and isolates them.
Even tactics "plot" had the Brotherhood sending their most extremist members far east to "Chase" the super mutants when in reality they wanted their influence out of the Brotherhood, even Fricking FoBoS had the brotherhood elders sending Rhombus to texas because they didn't want his post Vault Dweller Influence in the Brotherhood.
Caring only about your group is not the same shit as being a moronic worthless piece of shit who treats your apprentice like shit. Also he put the blame on Maximus when HIM wanted to "Get down to shoot something".
They imply that every squire is terrified of being killed by his "Lord" (where the frick did they get that from?) as if it were common for this to happen, given that it is established that the BOS cares about each member due to the fact that they are numerically weak.
There are unironically hundreds of squires to like six knights, and it's explained in the show that the squires are extremely disposable. They're basically slaves to the knights.
reading comprehension, anon, please.
the brotherhood is nothing but a bunch of pussies in power armor, they're the worst faction, right up there with the Children of the Cathredral.
This is where Caesar was right. They claim to preserve technology when they're doing nothing of the sort. They're just larping cosplayers with big guns, handwaving their bullshit with ritual and old world ranks, paperwork, charts and schedules. Without their fancy armor they're a bunch of spineless pussies.
caesar was right in nearly all cases
He'd be better off if he assimilated the technology of tribes and groups he conquers instead of shunning them. If he tried taking control of the securitron army he'd have no problem controlling Vegas and the dam in perpetuity without the need and expense of keeping a standing army around to do so, but he just opts to destroy it because "House bad". His troops could benefit from power armor and overwhelming firepower but won't because "BoS bad".
They have become like the Ultramarines but of Bethesda Fallout universe, therefore they are lame now.
It's supposed to be like that.
yeah

what makes you think Maximus doesnt have a terminal case of protagonist syndrome? He got to the point to where he gets to wield one of the most powerful objects left in the entire world.
his ego could easily bloat to the point that he becomes your average toxic butthole who feels as though he surrounded by his "lessers" not his equals. Mixed in with the anger that he felt like his ally wasnt doing his job I can see something like this actually happening in a real life scenario
If you were in a woodshop and some people dicking around accidently you pushed you into a buzzsaw causing a deep laceration I promise would you be mad with them first and foremost. you would be ranting and raving calling them every name under the sun or an butthole because guttural emotions kick in before critical thinking does. IN THAT MOMENT you are just looking to blame. It wouldnt occur to you that their help might be vital in your survival.
idk. I can actually see it.
Except he obviously did know that he would die without help in that moment. Also
>Average toxic butthole
lmao. The cry of the mediocre roasty who literally doesn't understand how much effort or skill something takes.
your average online gamer is not "skilled" lmfao. theyre just self-fellating braggarts with negative levels of respect for anyone they dont personally know. Its been like this ever since MW2 lobbies mate.
people dont ever say "hi, how are you guys doing today"
its always
"YO YOU GUYS FRICKING SUCK HAHA!"
"SHUT UP homosexual"
then because people learn by example that behavior multiplied and continued.
Thats been the Modus Operandi for online gaming for decades now. How else can you describe it other than toxic buttholes?
a bunch of people trying to be hard online who think being offensive and edgy is the only way to be funny. this isnt a SJW thing. Anonymity creates this Jekyll and Hyde effect that is easily observable
>your average online gamer
Are you fricking brain damaged? We aren't talking about a video game. We're talking about a dude who was actually dying. Are you literally so fricking stupid that you think the characters in a show should be thought of as avatars in a game just because the show is set in a fictional setting from video games?
Also, shit talking in video games is good, and if you don't like it, you can frick off back to /r/eddit.
Im pointing out the human condition here. we dont always act in our best interest especially when emotions are involved and you can SEE THIS in online games. thats my argument. dunno what part about this you arent getting.
a guy runs over your foot you want to swing on him. that simple. In this scenario Reindhart was getting solo'd by a Bear and his "squire" literally was AFK watching him with a slackjaw. he almost died. when he survives he takes out all his frustration immediately in a very realistic way by calling him a fricking idiot who nearly got him killed.
the situation isnt that far fetched. stop being a naive Captain Hindsight.
>Im pointing out the human condition here. we dont always act in our best interest especially when emotions are involved
Except we absolutely fricking do. Nobody who's actively dying is going to threaten the only one who can save them by saying they will cause them harm even if they DO save them, unless they actually want to die for some reason. At most they might threaten them that harm would come upon them if they DIDN'T save him. You are confusing impulsivity with being fricking moronic. Probably because YOU are fricking moronic, enough that you can't distinguish the difference between shit talking your team in a fricking video game and actually dying.
>shit talking in video games is good
If I shoot your head off, you don't get to talk.
I'm typically neutral until someone starts sucking and doesn't own up to it
I'll say hi or discuss an opening strategy before the game, but if you frick up and don't apologize I'll yell at you
Yes, I apologize when I frick up too

Brain rot of the most completely hollow heads
The same as Maximus did in the end of season 1. He lied to Elder, let his knight die to take his armor and the only thing he did during observatory skirmish was lying unconscious yet still got promoted to knight, because he was caught with Moldaver body.
Titus might have the same luck but was soon filtered by random yao guai.
It's moronic nevertheless, but BoS never were that clever in general since fallout 1.
Tpbp
Shiggy diggy
Are you fricking moronic? Playing a video game isn't real life. I'd rather let someone know that they're a fricking moron than be marginally more likely to win the game (especially since, in such a situation, we've likely already lost)

Man what kind of bullshit is this? Can't the knight just punch the damn thing this is so pathetic piece of crap.
It was a Rabid Yao Guai, aka Californian Brown Bears
surely a punch from a power armor would graze that damn bear, it doesn't make sense when later on the guy in power armor would crush someone head by clawing into it. you're saying this maximus guy got mauled by a freaking bear can't at least do some unarmed dmg to a mutant bear? What a joke
I fricking hate Titans of the New West moronic weapon animations and stupidly Small heads, feels like capeshit.
It's not spess mehreen power armor, all it does is provide enough strength to support its own weight. The more important aspect is that it's an armored hazmat suit that seals out irradiated material.

That's attention to detail that I didn't expect from this show, and yet they get "five seconds of Googling fan wikis"-tier lore wrong with the timeline dates. Just bizarre.
>-tier lore wrong with the timeline dates
To be honest with like the 50 other things they got right with attention to detail I'm 80% sure the wrong timelines thing is wrong on purpose or something. Maybe the cult in the vault got the numbers wrong themselves or someone gave them the wrong date in universe.
Could also just be cope tho
huh wtf
I fricked this b***h
are you black?
I've seen this posted a million times and I still don't know who she is.
Sauce? Yandex isn't helpful.
Candi Robbs or something like that
This is probably the best vid of her, she doesn’t look that good naked
Starting FO4
Male or female character, leaning towards male just because the opening anim makes it feel more canon
Though I guess it would be funny for the wife to survive
A lot of women look better clothed to be honest
Nate's VA is better imo.
women just sound annoying lmao
Fallout is a bad example of female VA in RPG.
For example, Cyberpunk has worst male voice acting, literal npc mumbling lines from script, but on the other hand female actor is godly, she even sings credits song, so fricking good
There is the fact that Nora's VA sperged out against AI voiced mods and AI in general takin muh jerbs, when her VA itself in FO4 was inferior compared to Nate, and people only liked her because she voiced RE6 Ada and Jack in Mass Effect.
Or that she is part of the fricking Mafia that is the VA Union
That bad, huh? Alright. I did her face first, working on his now.
Which one is Nate, the guy?
What if I kind of want her to sound like a c**t
For sure, but spending hundreds of hours looking at Nate is a whole less appealing
i'm actually above average looking, so i make Nate look as much like me as possible and RP as an idealized, ruthless wasteland version of myself.
Unfortunately Nate is a voiced protagonist and I can't really pretend someone is me unless they have a thick Norwegian accent
Nate is the superior character overall

Weren't they literally shipped in from Boston?
Boston? Rappaport is the most unsufferable Brooklyn israelite in existence and he can't hide that accent. That shit falls out like an aging khazar milker from its schmata.
>That shit falls out like an aging khazar milker from its schmata.
if the brotherhood are from boston, then how did they send blimps east to chicago?
The airship in the show is the Predwyn. Maximus was likely recruited in Boston during the fight with the Institute and later shipped west.
uh dude
Maximus's entire backstory is that he was recruited after Shady Sands blew up
he's a israelite yorker, moron

>+0 Speed
Huh?
In the old TES attribute system, all races shared the same stats but with racial modifiers that added or subtracted to attributes, so +0 speed is just the base speed across all races. IIRC the base across all races is 40 for all stats. Attributes have to have values, so +0 is 40 speed, as it's 40+0.

Vault Dweller. That black guy and the other Squire he hung out with and branded. Titus. the one-eyed Mutant Vault leader they meet later. the two stoner morons at the chop shop sitting on their asses watching cartoons seemed straight out of the movie Idiocracy.
Did nobody get that the series is very clearly supposed to be goofy not realistic? like more of a live-action Penny Arcade comic in action? or some of that Team Fortress Comic Tongue in Cheek ultraviolence slapstick Humor?
Everyones either a unapologetic idiot or a goon stumbling from place to place contrasted with a few straight men and actual badass characters so that way the reader feels like theres SOME kind of actual threat.
I mean think about all the wacky goofy shit that happens in this show. do you SERIOUSLY think this is supposed to be some hardcore neuron activating narrative rollercoaster like what they wanted with the Witcher?
Go watch literally any scene with Thaddeus or Overseer Benjamin then think about pic rel. tell me its not on the same wavelength.

he should be much more educated and skilled than 99% in the wild that dont get the privilege of professional training and education
his writing makes 0 fricking sense
It's called buck breaking
its entirely possible to grow up in a military environment, go to ROTC, and go to a military college and still be a complete moron in the modern era, not even factoring in the fact that the "higher education" of the brotherhood is identifying toasters
know what sex is
He knew about the act but seemed to think it was something bad. To me it felt like when trainers would tell athletes to stay away from sex before the big event. So maybe they were told not to do it?
>dosnt know how to operate a power armor
This seems like you would need training to use. Like driving a car, you have to get use to it first. He was very clunky using it.
FO4 is literally the only FO game where you didn't need training to use power armor, and it was only sort of explained as the male protagonist having been in the military. The wife shouldn't have known how to use it.
>So maybe they were told not to do it?
That would be a really weird taboo for the BoS to pick up in such a short time considering they were practicing internal replacement for so long. Lyons hasn't been for about... thirty years now? But where would the impetus to start a celibacy movement come from? It isn't likely to be the wastelanders they've been recruiting.

The worst part is that the troony injured himself instead one of the bullies fricking him up.
Then Maximus gets forgiven for leaving his knight and stealing his power armor.
>The worst part is that the troony injured himself
the most realistic part of the show
Hard to believe this joke of a chapter is part of the same faction that pulled off pic
Anyone who defends this show is a hopeless homosexual.
The BoS we see is recruiting heavily from moronic wastelanders. I thought it was pretty obvious how they got such numbers and only a few Knights, most of which came with the Prydwen.
>The BoS we see is recruiting heavily from moronic wastelanders.
Maximus was raised as a part of BoS from childhood and he wasn't a tribal, he was an NCR survivor.
He's probably meant to be an autist or a sperg but they didn't explain it well.
>The BoS we see is recruiting heavily from moronic wastelanders.
If Tactics was canon, this wouldn't be out of the norm.
If someone could explain why ghouls need that one special chem to keep them sane that would be nice.
This is the one thing that the show add that wasn't in the original lore and it really stand out too much for me.
It's fricking stupid. How did they discover it? How did the news spread out before all ghouls went feral? I assume it's some pre-War drug, because the alternative is that somebody set up manufacture of those vials after the bombs fell and that's just too silly.
Also I think The Ghoul is not actually a Ghoul, but some ghoul-adjacent FEV mutant like Harold? He doesn't look rotting. They ever explained that? I've only seen 5 out of 8 episodes.
I thought all ghouls had been infected with FEV one way or another. That it had already broken containment prewar, it was just to soon for anyone to notice plus the radiation speeds everything up. All the mutated animals are from FEV it just that most people don't even know it exists.
The creators of Fallout couldn't agree on whether ghouls are rad only or FEV + radiation. Either way, in the games Harold is often mistaken for a ghoul but he is not a ghoul. he has been dipped in pure FEV.
>He doesn't look rotting. They ever explained that? I've only seen 5 out of 8 episodes.
That's just the absolutely garbage disney-ified post Fallout 4 design for ghouls, he looks like any other ghoul from there
I thought it was implied to be radaway because of the brown blood bags that were connected to the cowboy ghouls grave at the beginning of the show
If it was Radway, Howard wouldn't need to store it in fragile little glass bottles, it is probably some pre-war chem since only organ rippers raiders had it
i wonder if it somehow ties into the wasteland doctor's ghoul serum he gave thaddeus. it seems like something we'll hear more about, especially with the ghoul being a protagonist. what demarcated a ghoul from a feral ghoul in the games? the amount of brains melted by radiation?
Yes, that. Though ghouls are immortal, they are basically living cancer, even as radiation is enhancing their regenerative properties it is further mutating them, and eventually their brains get fried to the point that they get aggressive and unreasonable (like the non feral ghouls in Searchlight that are still hostile, or other hostile non-feral ghouls you can find in 3 and NV and even in F1/2 which pre dates the concept of feral ghouls but had some ghouls that were essentially zombies that would attack you) and eventually as their brains and bodies degrade further they become "feral", incapable of higher thought or anything beyond animal instinct.
Ghouls are suppose to be immune to radiation.
Same, I don't get it and it keeps annoying the frick out of me
Why was the chicken fricker a recurring character?
Why did they keep bringing up incest when it had no point? Why include a nonbinary character at all when brainrot like that doesn't fly in emergency situations? Why can power armor throw a large rock a mile away but do negligible damage to a bear? Why can power armor kick a rock through a building but can't free itself from hole in a brittle wood floor? How can someone die in power armor with no visible damage done to it outside of a scratch on the chest plate?
Because the writers are shit, that's why. The best part is it doesn't matter because normies eat this shit up and don't question bad writing. Maybe it's my fault for wanting something more like the road with gallows humor, but instead we got another marvel movie but with more gore.
If you ask these questions you just get called a "toxic NV elitist". They were very fast to raise that shield against any criticism I'll give them that.
>Why can power armor throw a large rock a mile away but do negligible damage to a bear?
The bear wrestled him and restricted his range of motion
>wood floor
Because he was sunk in to a big depth and breadth of tough debris that limited his range of motion
>shooty guns situations with armor
Inventory changes plans change the character is not universally prepared at all times nor remembers every possible strategy.
>The bear wrestled him and restricted his range of motion
Eh... I don't disagree with you but Max accidentally crushes a dude skull just by thinking about it later. It seems like a legit, common tactic while in Power Armor would be to just grab an assailant and squeeze until something broke, and that dude absolutely could get hands on the Yao Guai
Anon bear skeletons are not just human ones but taller
A bear skull straight up fricking ignores most common bullets we use today and they bounce right off
>A bear skull straight up fricking ignores most common bullets we use today and they bounce right off
That straight up isn't true. A high velocity rifle round through the dome will kill any old bear. .308 especially. Even then, I'm not saying he needs to cave in the bears skull, just do something other than flail around like an idiot.
Hogs are where skull hardness becomes a problem, but there are modern loadings for them too.
>A bear skull straight up fricking ignores most common bullets we use today and they bounce right off
lmao ye, thats moronic
an elephant is hard to kill, but a bear any higher caliber will make its head explode, only way for a bullet to "bounce off" off a skull is high angled shot where it will slide along the skull and cut the flesh
also bears arent all that big under the fur, look up bald bears, they look like overgrown dogs, skin isnt as thick as you would expect
unless you shooting like 22lr or some other funny tiny caliber, then might as well be throwing rocks
>How can someone die in power armor with no visible damage done to it outside of a scratch on the chest plate?
The show deliberately refuses to elaborate by straight up cutting past that answer. It could have been concussive damage but he is verbally articulate and showing little bleeding. For all the time lapse he could have been trapped and dehydrated.
because he was easily the best character
>power armor carries heavy things for you with no effort
>organize all of your units around a human carrying all of your gear while you walk around unarmed
>basically every scene with a Brotherhood member in combat excluding the last episode has some gag where they have to scramble to retrieve their gear
Bravo bravo, absolute cinema
This would make sense if it was just a part of scribe training.
In situations where they pursue someone and have to move quickly, or in combat it makes zero sense.
Hell, if Maximus was walking around with his rifle and not a dinky pistol the whole Gulper situation could've been resolved much faster.
Best way I can rationalize it is, powerarmor makes you a walking tank so instead of wasting ammunition it's more economical to walk up and punch things.
But yeah it's really stupid how often having a gun would solve a problem and the characters simple...don't have a gun for no reason.
I think it’s just a reference to the games where you usually just have your companions carry everything
Show itself establishes that Max' reason for joining is because he saw that one dude after getting out of the fridge. While nothing else is shown from that period and I wouldn't put it past Bethesda to say "well actually right after this scene knight raped Max and then pissed on him while calling him canadian", FOR NOW we can conclude that in all likelyhood BoS knight helped Max at least in some way, like telling him where survivors go, or something like this.
In other words, show establishes that BoS has some positive qualities. Problem is that this unknown dude is only positive BoS character in whole organization. We have:
>Max, who fricks over numerous people and lies alot. He only does good things when someone else pushes him to do so, like Lucy
>His androgynous friend, a coward who purposefully cut himself to not be squire
>Thad, dude with slave mentality whose solution to being punching bag was to find a new punching bag
>Titus, entitled prick who clearly sucks as a combat unit
>elder whatever, leader of this chapter of bos (if "chapter" is even a thing anymore), who, while didn't do anything clearly evil, is at least not framed in any positive light
On top of this, we are shown that bos members are routinely beating each other up and get away scot-free. On top of this, in the end, during attack on moldaver's camp, they clearly gun down everyone indicriminately (btw I wonder what Max was going to do if there was no bullshit excuses for why he was only one to find lucy. Realistically he'd find her while being in company of bunch of knights or squires, and lucy along with everyone else in the room would be slaughtered without asking questions).
Basically, character joins organization because in his eyes they were good guys, and spends god knows how many years with them, and all viewer sees is that they are all bunch of buttholes, with only a very vague promise of change (not necessarily a positive one, at that) in the future.
>"well actually right after this scene knight raped Max and then pissed on him while calling him canadian"

I would agree with him but he likes human revolution and thinks it is 'le deep', so go frick yourself shill, fallout lore was fricked the moment black isle was closed, tv show isn't entirely accurate, but it did a good tribute to the older games, Nolan also did a good job of making actors actually show emotions on their face instead of usual facade that modern actors without so do, which I can respect.
My takeaway was that any mistakes the show may have made weren't malicious. You can tell when writers or a showrunner is actively giving a fanbase the middle finger and I honestly never felt that watching the show.
They literally destroyed the whole setting in favor of establishing a retatded OC faction
>but it did a good tribute to the older games
It completely misses the basic theos of fallout.
In your opinion.
>They literally destroyed the whole setting
Do you really expect anyone to take you seriously when you act like this?
>Do you really expect anyone to take you seriously
Explain how I'm wrong. They destroyed everything in California just to establish fricking vault tec, a defunct prewar company, as some kind of extant threat.
Vault Tec was owned by the Enclave. Therefore the Enclave destroyed the world, or at least played a significant part in it which is canonical. The Shady Sands thing was pretty gay though, I agree.
Vault tec was a pre war company that doesn't fricking exist anymore. The enclave didn't destroy the world, America and China did. The enclave is just mega glowBlack folk hiding in a bunker and pretending America still exists. This moronic conspiracy shit in which a handful of industrialists decided to destroy the earth for NO REASON is absolutely fricking moronic and completely misses the point of fallout as a franchise. Plus it's just a shameless attempt to white wash the premise for the fricking chinese audience. It's disgusting.
It's funny because you're wrong and there's literally nothing you can do about it.
What's funny is that you're either a shill, or literally the kind of braindead consumerist homosexual the games were made to insult.
China launched the nukes first because they found out about America making FEV and thought America was going to unleash it on the Chinese mainland. FEV was made by West Tek, also a part of the Enclave. The Enclave already existed before the bombs dropped, it was a cabal of the President, high ranking congressmen, the heads of the DOD and a couple defense contractors. If the show changes that then I'll consider the show non canon, because that was the chain of events going all the way back to Fallout 1 and Fallout 2.
The show says that "vault tec", a cabal of rich gays, not only deployed the nukes first, but also nuked America, specifically in some moronic scheme to try to control redevelopment of America.
>The show says that "vault tec", a cabal of rich gays, not only deployed the nukes first
Incorrect.
You have failed the assignment.
I thought it was more along the lines of they deliberately escalated the war so that America would get nuked, not that they physically dropped bombs on the country itself. Where was that explicitly shown or said?
The word "China" is never said even once in the entire show. Regardless, intentionally starting the nuclear war with the intention of destroying the US would hardly be better. Not only because of its ignorance of the basic themes, but because it's just fricking stupid. Billionaire industrialists gain nothing from killing 99% of their consumers and infrastructure.
>Billionaire industrialists gain nothing from killing 99% of their consumers and infrastructure.
You do know that it's possible to talk about something without actually doing it right?
Of course you do, you're still "looking for a job". Same thing.
>You do know that it's possible to talk about something without actually doing it right?
Except they did do it. They took a vote and decided to do it and made it happen. For no fricking reason.
>Of course you do, you're still "looking for a job".
What?
I think it fits the themes of man's inhumanity to man, man being arrogant in general and war never changing, because it was a play for total control that got out of hand. They never seriously considered the repercussions of ending the world until it was far too late.
They never considered the ramifications of destroying 99% of their own population? Are YOU moronic? And by the way, yes, intentionally losing a war in a power play to try to gain control of a country you already fricking own is a pretty significant "change" to how wars are usually fought, mostly in the sense of being bewilderingly moronic.
>They destroyed everything in California
Such as?
Also Bethesda has obviously had larger plans for Vault Tec since they took over the franchise. Have you not played the games?
>You can't explain
He is gaslighting him. It is an honor and code based system and he is using the threat of extermination to get the squire to follow orders without questioning them. It probably worked a lot of times.
They go back, the Knight steps in to "save" the squire and bam, you have a zealot for life. Easy shit.
Alternatively Titus is a hyper-privileged butthole in a world of warlords. It is unthinkable that he would be challenged so he has no issue with threatening the very person who can save his life, since Titus barely considers Maximus to be sentient in the first place.
There you go, two plausible ideas. Now b***h about them like we both know you're going to do, because you're a little b***h ass dipshit.
>Such as?
The entire NCR and civilization as a whole in the region.
>Also Bethesda has obviously had larger plans for Vault Tec since they took over the franchise.
Vault tec was a defunct prewar company until this fricking tv show.
>He is gaslighting him. It is an honor and code based system and he is using the threat of extermination to get the squire to follow orders without questioning them.
Except that's obviously not going to work in a scenario in which his threat is completely unenforcable.
>Alternatively Titus is a hyper-privileged butthole
And there we go. It's just brain damaged leftoids who are literally so fricking dumb that they can't logically construct hypothetical scenarios.
Aww, did I use one of your trigger words and make you mad? I'm sorry.
What's funny is that you think the "lore" of video games matters and what's even funnier is that you think you're better than anyone else because of it.
>What's funny is that you think the "lore" of video games matters
It's not just about the lore, shill, it's about changing things in such a way that they completely change the basic themes and messages of the work. Are you actually so fricking stupid that you can't see there's an enormous narrative difference between a war between two stubborn global super powers who thought themselves invincible eventually escalating into nuclear exchange that destroyed them both, and a cabal of rich gays destroying the whole planet on purpose out of some moronic idea that this would somehow increase their control over human development?
>the show is a little different
>this invalidates everything else
why? why are you so mad?
It's not a "little" different. It's completely, fundamentally fricking different. It misses the absolute basic messaging of the setting, and rolls around indulging in the worst of Todd Howard's fetishization of the BoS and picking up garbage out of ruins while fighting mutants, and now with an extra heaping dollop of leftoid progressivist homosexualry.
>It's completely, fundamentally fricking different.
Okay
The show is different then.
We solved it. We worked through it together.
Proud of you.
>>this is how fallout was
>no, the TV show is a huge departure from the setting
game lore doesn't matter, the show getting details wrong is irrelevant
>they got the basic plot and themes wrong and presented a much less intelligent and meaningful product just to make it more marketable to foreign audiences and create a platform for progressivist messaging
>>okay yeah the show is different, so what?
So it's shit. It's fricking moronic, and made by people who not only don't care about fallout, but don't care about intelligent storytelling in general.
Okay. Your opinion has been noted, repeatedly. You don't like thing.
Do you have anything relevant to add to your tantrum?
>yes I like shit, and no I can't defend it, so what?
Concession accepted
So the answer was no? Okay, you are free to leave then. Your whining has exhausted all possibility for discussion.
Why are you trying to pretend your inability to refute any of my points is a win?
Oh no, dealing with you is not winning. Keeping you occupied is doing a favor to literally anyone else who has the misfortune of ever having to interact with you.
Says the consoomer fricktard who likes the fallout show and is literally too dumb to explain why
You not liking my explanations doesn't mean they don't exist.
Do you have brain damage?
>Lore doesn't matter
Your arguments are vapid and liquid like your ideology.
kys homosexual.
threatening to kill the one person who can save you is moronic
you are moronic for denying this. "SAVE ME SO I CAN KILL YOU" is not ever going to convince anybody. He literally persuaded his squire to murder him. It was awful, awful dialogue and very lazy.
>SAVE ME SO I CAN KILL YOU" is not ever going to convince anybody.
I have this dialogue every day
i think something is wrong with your image instead of showing me the big ass i wanted to see it showed me a big buff man please try posting it again
Kill me, would you kindly?
Isn't that the chud that still lives with his mom, and such mom is a massive fricking gilf bawd LMAO.
No wonder why v/ermin made him famous and suck him off dry everyday.
>how do you do fellow Gankerirgins muh israelites am i right?
Shit talking heebs is always good
not when thats all the substance he has going for him, to the point he realizes it and just has to sprinkle in shit like that in an attempt to make you side with whatever poorly made argument he's made. the fallout show is shit but no one should need a fricking grifter to tell them that
Muh israelites yes.
What do you think about this?
I already knew this, ESG shit is only skin deep dont try and pretend without it the writing would be better
>shit is only skin deep
Now THAT is some good old fashion gaslight.
Also nice empty reply.
Somebody post it.
?
I wanna know more about that cloth cap interface that they have
That design of it goes back to Fallout 3, it's the spandex looking suit worn under the armor, the headpiece goes back to the talking heads from Fallout 1 though. I think it's supposed to look like a futuristic version of a knight's circular chainmail hood. I think it's Brotherhood Recon Armor?
>I think it's Brotherhood Recon Armor?
Looks more like the Brotherhood version of the Ranger helmet, I wonder if the cap is for interfacing with the helmet's HUD but that sounds too advanced when you could just sandwich something inbetween the helmet's lenses. Probably is just supposed to be futuristic chainmail hood but it's leather and cloth with a few metal sets
Might be part of the suit's water recycling system, or active cooling (or both). There are a few reasons you might have an undersuit tbh.
See Battletech Pilot cooling suits and Neural helmet interface, the cap acts as it it seems
Comfort when you're wearing hundreds of pounds of armor.
seems like the paid shills have finally stopped holy shit those homosexuals were spamming nonstop
they made Titus an butthole to justify Maximus going full nig letting him die and steal his power armour. its funny how he never gets punished for that or asked what happened to Titus.
there is an entire scene in the finale between maximus and the elder where they discuss titus's death and the elder approves of maximus's actions because the he is disgusted with the current shitty state of the brotherhood, and he even tells maximus that he wants his other knights to adopt that kind of ruthlessness
>getting filtered by an unreasonable character being unreasonable
Maximus is a synth by the way.
thats what i was thinking, but the show takes place on the west coast and not the east
>people assuming Vault Tec started the war when all we actually know is that they had plans in place to possibly do it
They never stated that Vault Tec acted on those plans before the war actually started you know.
If alt-right incels are so upset about "woke" media, why do they even watch it? Why talk about it at all? Why not just go on with your lives and do things that are important to you?
Oh wait, you have no lives. Carry on, losers.
The way that they've made the squires fearful for their lives, expecting to die for simply doing something minorly wrong in a knight's presence - that's absolutely fricking moronic.
The BoS is so insular and self-protective that you have to do something heinous to be kicked out, and the relationships of knights and the "lower" tier scribes generally had a unifying goal.
How Bethesda have portrayed the faction in FO4 and this show just makes me sad, honestly. Where's the honor? Where's the BoS creed?
There's clearly something amiss with this chapter. I thought that was blatantly obvious.
I hope it is just the chapter itself but considering the BoS in FO4 were already leaning towards this path it may just be Bethesda frickery.
I feel that the show would have done a better way to portray that by emphasizing what the actual rules and beliefs of the brotherhood are, maybe with this footage of them being pieces of shit laid over the top.
Because if you're a normie who doesn't play Fallout then you're going to think that this is just how the BoS is.
>Michael Rapaport was paid to be in the Fallout show
Man, am I ever glad I pirated it. Imagine paying Amaz*n for the right to watch Michael Rapaport kvetching.
to be fair, everyone in the wasteland has <70 IQ from years of radiation, malnutrition, and inbreeding so it's no surprise that they behave completely irrationally
moronic bethesdababby "logic" (see: lies)
I don't even like bethesda games. I played skyrim 5 for 4 hours and that's it. I've never touched a fallout game
>Dude trust me, a member of a military organisation would never be corrupt, stupid, self sabotaging and mistreat their own allies
Yeah, they wouldn't while literally dying, dipshit.
They wrote Maximus as a moron with a mind of a kid because they need to build up a character arc, but I think they over did it.
Every Maximus scene sucks, worst was when the BoS boss sides with him what the frick.
he doesnt even have an arc does he, he's just a shit the entire time and ends up getting rewarded for it. you would think he would steal the power armor and go rogue, leading to some epic drama action with the brotherhood trying to hunt him down or some shit and him learning to survive away from the zealous cultlike society he was born into. but i guess not
Think of the characters as different type of players.
Maximus is the moronic casualgay who doesn't have a clue what's going on or what he's doing.
Lucy is the hardcore roleplayer.
The Ghoul is the guy who has played previous Bethesda games.
He could've had it all and he blew it.
This scene is funny because he was not wrong in saying Maximus was a shitty squire. Compared to the squire that Maximus got and you realize how horrible he was at the same job.
>you vill go into the radioactive cave
A good squire will wade into radioactive water even without being asked to.
You homosexuals actually watched this? Holy shit, that’s embarrassing. Have some self respect for frick sake.
based, never gonna watch this shit and no amount of shilling will ever change my mind
>of course I won't formulate my own opinions on something
I don't think this is the gotcha you guys seem to think it is.
>you NEED to watch something to have an opinion on it
Good one mr marketer saar. I don’t need to watch it, I already know it’s shit because it’s made by amazon and todd
Of course you don't.
But why would anyone give a frick what your stupid opinion is when you choose to be ignorant?
>being ignorant of amazon slop is bad!
not the gotcha you think it is saar. and besides, I’ve seen a few clips and unsurprisingly I was right, it’s low-quality trash
why are you even here then? theres a trillion other threads you be in or other activities you could be doing with your time.
its bizzare you would go into a thread about Aquarium care just to brag "I dont even have one haha. Fish r dumb".
????
because it’s a thread shitting on the show you moron
No, you fricking shill homosexual, you will not be allowed to circlejerk this garbage with no pushback. You just won't. Frick off to reddit where any criticism gets removed or hidden if you want that, wienersucker.
>i am moronic
>you have to suffer my moronation because you just do
okay
you're living your life incorrectly, by the way. you only get one.
Imagine giving a frick about that. Couldn't be me.
>>you're living your life incorrectly, by the way. you only get one.
>saying this whilst defending amazonslop
lmao what a kneeslapper
LOL
"pushback"??? homie this is Ganker.
>a off-topic Lust-Provoking Image thread died for this.... no.. enough is enough! we have to fight back
you are actually delusional. people are actually talking about the game and you are seething for zero reason pretending like making these teenager dimwit snide remarks once in a while is going to "pushback".
>"OH! so you all think this new show based on a video game is so great huh? heh.. well I didnt watch it! yeah... suck on that SHILLS! and I never will!!"
thanks for the actual laugh. You could just let this shit run its course naturally like with every shiny new Flavor of the Month subject like Smash Bros or Pokemon garbage but you'd rather yell at the clouds.
goofy aah ass mentality.
that anon isn’t me lmao, nice wall of text schizo
whens the last time you practiced your drawing?
THANK YOU. Its like everyone forgot one of the first people you meet is Moira Brown.
yeah. you now remember Moira Brown. Think about Moira Brown when you think about this show and little miss OKIE DOKIE!
>This TV show having dogshit writing is justified because Fallout 3 also had dogshit writing
lmao
oh no.
not me.
I never lost control.
As if an average wastelander would know that zero sometimes has a slash going through it to differentiate it from O when being able to tell numbers from letters is important like in coding and military orders.
Canon
so they actually CAN move freely in it, yet decide to move like soiled diapers in the show on purpose because... Realism or some shit?
You don't need much alacrity to floss. Although the suits are way more nimble than depicted in the show by virtue of being, y'know, powered, and because they're able to bend properly at the elbows.
this is kind of a challenging thing because you need ways to convey the sense of power and weight in the suits to mainstream audiences so i understand why they slowed them down, even though it's dumb.
Do you think all these knight armor sets on TV are actual steel too? Do you think Peter weller actually had a titanium chasis on his body when he was robocop?
You just need to fricking be able to act and simulate the armor being heavy but powerful. It's not even that hard (relative to actual acting), you just need to practice it, reference the way PA moves in 4 and copy that as much as you can and practice. The oh so alien idea of a REHEARSAL exists exactly for that purpose unless i've been under a rock and it's a forgotten art now.
>Do you think all these knight armor sets on TV are actual steel too?
Usually yes, actually. Although thinner than the genuine article.
They're slow and cumbersome because they're live action props and you can only do so much in the editing department to make them look like they aren't just a shell on stilts. For what they are they're honestly pretty good, but imo this whole shebang should have just been animated because the guys in the suits obviously can't even aim their fricking guns due to the restricted movement on the arms.
Frankly, having working practical effects is better than fricking 3d all over the place as all of the MCU capeshit.
It's better than doing bad effects out the ass but the whole show should've just been animated comic style.
Granted, I'm assuming they don't wiener that up too but we probably all know the absolute state of 2d animation in the west. I'm sure it would wind up being just as bad.
>Behind the scenes is canon
???
the wrists look so fricking moronic on this.
I can't put my finger on it but it's getting fricking uncanny.
NOOOOOOOOOOO
I'm afraid The Ghoul is too based to survive beyond Season 2. I hope I'm wrong.
remember that bit in django where goggins is about to castrate jamie foxx hes gonna do that to maximus
Obviously they're all gonna teamup. the Ghoul wont admit it but he obviously has a bit of a liking towards FROG GIRL since he's never really just shot her outright and instead bothers to teach her harsh lessons of the wasteland.
Ghoul does what he does to survive but isnt evil. He probably enjoys the naivety and niceness as a change of pace from the usual exploiters and cutthroats he has to interact with.
I can hear Vic Mackey saying that phrase, but is shane watching him raping another guy up the ass for information.
"and this is anons rooom~"
Hefty looking organ he's got there
Just call michael to voice a supermutant so we can get a The Shield and Twin Peaks cast reunion
>but isnt evil
Black person he shoots the people who save him from his prison/grave that also offer him a job simply because he doesn't like how they talk
>me when i barge into a retired ncr ranger's home who's son i previously killed, and then kill his other son but im not evil because uh.....
there's no such thing as evil in a setting like fallout.
have a nice day you fricking moron
you're the type of homosexual to say Joel is evil in the last of us. YOU have a nice day homosexual.
Yes anon, joel is a bad guy. That is the entire fricking point of that game. However at least he has (selfish) reasons for what he does and isn't just a maniacal sadist.
ok cuckmann
Joel is not a bad guy. The raiders were going to hurt him and Ellie. And the Fireflies were pants on head moronic and about to murder a girl without consent for shits and giggles
the only people who ever say that are the blatantly evil guys
The karma system would beg to differ.
Nah it'll be a Daryl Dixon situation, the writers will want to kill him off but he's far too popular.
He is going to survive because there is more that he saw since EP 1 is after he divorced and he took his daughter with him.
And since he is going to Vegas, is possible that House and Emogene Cabot met him at the Lucky 38 and he showed him that he is against Vault Tec's plan.
Also, the new Vault tec short they put on Amazon, has a LOT, a LOT of callbacks back to The events of Fallout Tactics Vault 0
>new vault tec short
Is it exclusive for amazon? Damn, the pre-war segments of the show were the best
there it is a new ad
jewcehead video but it is the only giving a frick

Thanks for ousting yourself as a nvgay who's baby's first RPG was that.
And for proving that you homosexuals are no better than blizzdrones.
>y-you don't agree with me that means ur a dummy head!!!
Yea nah get fricked c**t. It's always been moronic that power armor didn't take any training to use
The only one proving to be a lorelet autistic Black person and tourist here who never played any of the games outside New Vegas is (yopu)
Anti-ESO gay aka Adam
>Ghouls are now much more durable (we saw a guy turning into one take an arrow to the neck and survive but also need to take a special drug daily to prevent themselves going feral
Thoughts on this change?
Obviously fricking moronic, but par for the course
I like it. Reinforces the more living dead aspects of an already unusual type of character.
Of course NV disagrees with it so it's a baaaaaaaaad fricking moronic lore raping change to certain "people".
Fo3 literally had a bunch of shit involving ghouls that they made up for a weak "racism" theme. They even made an entire quest where some butthurt ghouls says it's racist to call ghouls zombies that can only be killed by being shot in the head. Now the show makes it clear that they are inhuman, zombie monsters, and they're basically immortal unless you destroy the brain. Either Todd changed his mind or they're contradicting Bethesdas own moronic lore because "racism bad" is an outdated message for the left
who the frick was talking about racism you polbrained moron?
Do you know that writing boards without the slashes instantly outs you as an outsider shill?
>"Remember folks ghouls are people too" - line by 3 dog that he says every 5 minutes
>Actually ghouls are night of the living dead tier inhuman freaks that need to use a special serum so they don't become mindless animals
They did. And then they didn't
and what does that have to do with the ghouls depicted in the show being more resilient to physical damage
i'd really love to know
>an entire quest where some butthurt ghouls says it's racist to call ghouls zombies that can only be killed by being shot in the head.
While that is an element of it (namely with Tenpenny) it's also because they were all on a job together and they left him to die to increase their own payouts and he wants the keys to steal the suit of T51B power armour in the fort.
Both the instant healing (especially since it's inconsistent) and the MacGuffin drug are moronic changes.
Man I hate TV
Calling this show "bethesda" is actually insulting to bethesda. I haven't played 4 yet but at least in 3 they at least attempt to write human characters _most_ of the time. In this god awful slop literally everyone is a psychotic unlikable moron.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I JUST SHIT OUT MY GUTS UUUURRGH OH MY FRICKING GOD HRRRRUUURRK MY THROATS FILLING UP WITH BLOODRRRRUGHGHGHGGHCCCKK -(WHEEZE)- AAHRRK HRRK HRRK
Fallout was never LOLSORANDUMB. It has absurd setpieces but the characters still act like humans. This show is like an alien wrote it.
> who was talkin bout a RACISM????
>You mean, like, my wiener?
The characters being moronic honestly made this feel more like Fallout than less.
One of his most enjoyable roles
I'm honestly surprised they didn't go the easy route and have some safe horny punk aesthetic "muscle mommy" (with a prosthetic leg or something) follower of the apocalypse dyke that the "white" vault dweller girl would fall in lesbians with because that would actually be somewhat lore friendly. Although making a guy in t-60 armor be a main lead was probably an executive/Bethesda demand
I would Lucy

Is the Brotherhood still Xenophobic Technophobes despite having advanced technology for some reason in this show?
>Technophobes
They've never been technophobes really. The only things they've destroyed is the Institute synth printer and Enclave mobile base in 3. Most other things they try and preserve if they can while keeping the wastelanders off of the dangerous stuff.
>They've never been technophobes really.
The way they been written in 4 says otherwise.
>save all the Institute's data
>blow up the blade runner printer because it was always moronic and the history of the Institute is a long line of lessons why it was moronic
>continue building blimp fortresses, vertibirds, and Liberty Prime while you deliver peace and justice at the barrel of a laser gun
They aren't technophobes.
>blow up the blade runner printer
forgive me if I'm wrong but aren't Gen 3 replicants basically just organic humans, only created artificially? I can imagine a lot of uses for a literal organ printer apart from making artificial humans.
>blimp fortresses
pre-WW1 tech
>vertibirds
fancy helicopters
no, i think they're still terminator-style, metal endoskeleton under living tissue type shit
Not to mention location location location. This is the fricking Brotherhood, who's foundation was to live in fricking bunkers. If it required Liberty Prime to get their ass in there, you know how impenetrable of a fortress this would've been for the Brotherhood?
That's a fair point tbh, but I'm not sure Maxson is planning to set up shop in the Commonwealth. My understanding is that they're purely there to kill the Institute, take care of the mutants, and then leave. I assume back to DC but idk for sure.
>My understanding is that they're purely there to kill the Institute, take care of the mutants, and then leave.
That's assuming they don't piss off the wrong people in the meantime, like the minutemen and their their giant bulleye in the sky blown to bits.
the existence of the prydwen in the show means the BoS ending of 4 is canon. every other faction ending blows it up
>Institute synth printer
There was ALOT more other useful tech asides a fricking synth printer in the Institute, but no just blow it all up.
Man just the hydroponic farm with clean food would be amazing.
There were inferior lasers to what the BoS produces natively, crop data, FEV data (that the BoS also doesn't want out), and a reactor. You can make an argument about the reactor but most everything else is a wash since you personally (during the BoS quest) copy down the Institute's computer network and walk out with all the info. The biggest loss is the reactor but I'm not sure it would even be pheasible to excavate.
Maybe you can make a case for the teleporter but the Minutmen are able to put one together in a cul de sac with a box of scraps so they can't be too hard to make.
The Commonwealth was food independent before the Institute and will be again now that they aren't killing scores of randos for laughs. It's also apparently not that difficult to set up water purification once the wildlife is under control since the player can do it pretty simply. If interface much at all with the Minutmen and Settlement systems during the main quest then the hydroponics facility is redundant.
Food independent when you rely on substinence and hand labor for farming vs. a automated hydroponics facility is a huge gap.
>establish in the second episode that power armor now has Iron Man rocket boosters for some reason

Please post a webm, i want to know how right i am in imagining how shit that looks.
Eh it's not even THAT funny
?t=174
This show is just pulling a Force Awakens.
The NCR is the New Republic.
Lucy is Rey.
Maximus is Finn.
It's all so tiresome.
10 years from now everyone is going to hate it because it just created a lot of mystery but also blew up anything in the setting that could have been interesting. Hope you like Vegas being a bombed out junkyard as well
Surely the screenwriter from Captain Marvel wouldn't deliver more pozzed slop
>screenwriter from Captain Marvel
Oh God.
Is it safe to say anyone who likes this shit is a drooling moron?
they need to get rid of that stupid robot voice. it sounds so fricking ugly and it doesnt even make sense none of the games do this.
Dude just got raped by a yao gui (or however the frick that's spelled) while his dumbass manservant stood there like an idiot. He was rightfully pissed.
Granted, threatening death on a dude you're expecting to save your life probably isn't the best survival strategy.
That's why he's a rotting corpse now and the Black person done stole his power armor.
its yao guai, homosexual.
>Stood there like an idiot
>when he one shotted it with a pistol
>Video game TV shows
Man they really can't make anything original anymore can they?
nope. we're in a downward spiral of creativity, so i'm enjoying what i can in this desert of quality

>idc....I want to use your black wiener.
perfect girls *exist*
I turned this shit off when they made it a point to show the girl smile at the black power armor guy fir the third time. It's too bad, because there's a decent show in there, but they can't help themselves with the race baiting bullshit.
Why? if the exact same thing happened except the guy was white you'd have no problem with it. What makes this any different besides you being racist?
There's nothing wrong with being racist, and mixed race couples are cringe.
My one nitpick is why was the Ghoul buried in a coffin underground? How long was he there for because everyone seems to know him, and he knows how things work despite being buried alive for x amount of time.
Why did the girl know what a raider was if she had never left the vault?
Her Dad was an overseer
And?
they actively use propaganda to keep people in the vault and not let outsiders in
They could just say, "the outside is still radioactive"
they do say that, but you need imagined enemies to scare people into compliance
No you don't. "If you go outside you will die, that's literally what the vaults are for", is much stronger than "there are meanies outside", as that implies the outside is in fact survivable.
>"If you go outside you will die, that's literally what the vaults are for"
is how you get shit like
>nah I'm a strong boy who drinks milk, I'd win
You need enemies. You need to say shit like
>there's Black folk in the waste where the radiation gave them arms that can rip you apart and rape you to death
>power armour doesn't need training to use any more
Okay sure, we're taking stuff from 4 then
>but they don't need power cores either
...okay, so you're not taking everything about them from 4?
>also the face visor opens and they can fly around like iron man now!!!!
and dropped
>>but they don't need power cores either
They literally do
Power armor NEVER needed training at all you moronic nvBlack person.
PA training was put for balancing reasons
I don't believe for a fricking second that any old moron can hop in a suit of power armor and use it with no trouble.
Tell that to the Vault Dweller and the Chosen One
It was moronic then and it's moronic now.
He struggles with it in the show, hence the scene where he punts a brick through a building by accident.
Why did you specify NV when 3 was the one that started it?
Because the Argument never starts with Fo3 at all, and there you can simply do anchorage early to get the OP winterized T-51b at lvl 1.
NV is literally wienerblocked behind the assinine Brotherhood questline or Arcade's homosexual quest.
That only became possible after the OA DLC was out. Used to be you had to go through the main quest and get training from the BoS or all PA was dead weight.
it turns out you can skip that by literally going into the Citadel and Ask the guy to train you in PA at lvl 1 too, but is tricky to trickjump into the main door.
unless you coc into the citadel, but i think homosexualmoor and kivan removed that
PA training and cores were always just gameplay concessions for the sake of progression/balance. Although I kind of liked the implementation in J Sawyer's NV mod where you were always able to wear PA but didn't get the STR boost until you were trained in it.
>iron man jets
Yeah, that's pretty dumb. I assume they didn't want to make a proper jetpack prop.
>but they don't need power cores either
But they do? Maximus literally gets stuck in armor coffin when Thaddeus pulls out the power core and leaves him to die
>also the face visor opens and they can fly around like iron man now!!!!
fallout 4 already has jetpack for armor which looks so fricking moronic, I would prefer iron man thrusters rather than jetpack, but the visor thing is moronic, I agree, should've made it so BoS knights need to take it off completely
>but the visor thing is moronic, I agree
Tanks have hatches, this is no different
No, it is very different.
That whole section of the helmet is a gas mask. It's not a hollow slope.
Besides that, the helmets have always needed to be taken off all the way in the games.
I figure the reason it's like this is because the actors can't actually raise the PA arms to their heads in costume. And maybe because the fingers don't really articulate the way you'd need them to.
Reminder in the JSawyer mod, players don't need the Power Armor Training perk to use power armor. The perk does give a small bonus if the player does have it though.
>All Power Armor enchantments have an Increase Carry Weight effect equal to the weight of the armor, with the condition of HasPerk PowerArmorTraining
Maximus did nothing wrong expect he should have said yes to Lucy that homosexual.
Our dummy
alright which one

Is this supposed to be Bob and Linda from Bob's Burgers?
The Creator said it. You have to accept it.
Nice photoshop. Also how money do you think he was offered to tell such a lie?
>you get turned into a ghoul by just drinking some elixir
What?
I mean thats how it happened to me
>Turns out the cause of ghoulification is an oddly specific ratio of FEV, radiation, and fatty liver disease
>it doesn't do anything to your voice, most ghouls just were and are active pack-a-day smokers
I personally detest how Ghouls have now just become a convenient solution to have plot important characters from before the bombs fell survive for hundreds of years. Feels now like everyone and their mother turned into a ghoul.
just like in real life.
The only character like that is Howard. Every other ghoul in the show is either a monster that gets killed or someone to be euthanized after they go feral. Theres only 5 ghouls characters and 3 of them are barely above the status of extra
It was way more obnoxious in Fallout 4. But I wouldn't be surprised if the TV show is going to introduce more pre war characters as ghouls
The Feral Ghoul effects in the show took notes from Tom Savini, they all resemble the ones from Return of the Living Dead and his remake of NOTLD
Dimmies?
Where the frick is this from? Since when is there a live action Fallout?
People on Ganker have zero media literacy, this whole thread is sad.
Nobody wants to have media literacy if it means enjoying shit in their mouths
whats your problem?
are you people stupid? the elder explicitely states that the brotherhood fell off after all these years and lost it's way, and he wants maximus to help him bring it back to it's former glory. (how it was in the older games) This is supposed to be taking place about 10 years after Fo4 so there's plenty of time given for that to happen.
the outskirts of the capital wasteland between the hours of 7pm and 9pm... home....
At least it was until I fricked errythang up
>Maximus spends his entire life training to be a squire.
>Maxmius has committed to a strict code of beliefs and hierarchy and has lived this way for his entire life.
>Knight nearly dies and is pretty pissed off about nearly dying.
>Maxmius stares alike a moron and lets him die because he was rude. 🙁
fricking what.
They're using the same logic where Finn is a brainwashed stormtrooper one moment then slaughters his former buddies five minutes later
maximus believes in justice, not honour. he's just a borderline psycho chimp who wants to be a knight
So what exactly was the point of specifically setting the TV show in the precise location of Fallout 1,2/NV. And then proceed to not build upon anything related to their stories and development, and in most cases just destroy them.
There is never a super mutant seen or mentioned, no mention of The Master. One scene with NCR but they are shown to be destroyed. One scene of New Vegas but it is shown to be destroyed. What was the point of setting the story in this specific location if you had no intention of continuing and building on the stories that took place in these locations?
Todd Howard ending a decade of b***hing about Fallout 3 and 4 portraying everything as if the bombs dropped yesterday.
No more emerging nation states for you
This scene is kino, this is the one scene that shows Maximus as not an idiot
it also shows that the Fiends survived their purge and spread into the core region.
I didn't really interpret it that these fiends were "the Fiends" gang from New Vegas. That gang was named the Fiends because it was made up of "fiends" which is just what people started calling chem junkies. They also weren't cannibals, which seems to be what Maximus considers the term "fiend" to mean.
High perception, low int. Maximus isn't even what I would call "street-smart" or "wise". Rather he's just quick to pull a trigger and interprets almost anything people do as a violent action because he's so used to everyone trying to beat the shit out of him. It just so happens he was right in this scene. He does the same thing when he flips out on Thaddeus immediately and steps on his leg, or when he chimps out on the vault dweller mutants and Lucy is frantically trying to get him to stop.
that's perception not int
>'MEMBER THE FIENDS?
their use of music in the show carried some of the scenes hard
Frick that Zionist POS, I wish he'd fricking die irl too.
Im shocked he didnt go on a rant how its time to kill all white people.
How does that insane israelite even end up in any show? Hes only known for his rants online how every goy needs to killed.
taking the fusion core and leaving cucksamus to rot in there was pretty kino.
Every chapter of the BoS truly deserves to be destroyed
>Guy in armor can't beat the bear
>Shot with pistol can
>THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT
>HELP ME WHILE I INSULT AND THREATEN YOU
all around baffling events
Yeah no kidding. It's show the power armor can punch through walls, throw things long distances, kick a stone hard enough to demolish part of a building... But punching a bear hard enough to cave in it's skull? Nah.
Also not sure how he took enough damage from the bear to die? Like it scratched his armor but didn't penetrate it, bit his helmet, but somehow he took injuries through the undamaged parts of the armor that lead to him dying.. somehow?
IT'S VIDEO GAME LOGIC moron. DOES IT MAKE SENSE THAT A STIMPAK CON INSTANTLY HEAL OTHERWISE DEADLY INJURIES? NO, IT'S A VIDEO GAME MECHANIC.
dont care b***h go sit in a fridge for 200 years
stimmy uh
else im gonna killie uh
steelie uh
So is Maximus supposed to be a bad guy? I’ve only watched the first two episodes but this scene made me think he actually did put the razor in his troony friend’s boot
Why is Bethesda so obsessed with the t-60 power armor? They jerk this shit off harder with every single iteration
>actually it's a bulletproof super suit
>actually it's a mecha suit that requires a heavy machinery license to operate
>actually it's an iron man suit that can fly and has its own integrated weapons
Where do you draw the line?
Bethesda only understand cliches for people to recognize and clap at.
>completely ignoring the fact they made it complete shit in the tv show and fo4
