Fallout New vegas is a political game
"if you want to see the fate of democracy, look out of the window"
Mr House
Also, while the Caesar's Legion may be the Chud's wet dream faction, they're destined to fail, just has the empire they pose as, was destined to fail by their own corruption:
Okay and? Still siding with House.
>Fallout New vegas is a political game
so is that why trannies love the game?
Good morning sir!
good morning trains maam
>trains maam
Pajeet you need to work on your English
Good morning please do not redeem the estrogen injections!
Do they hand out toilet paper when you guys shit in the streets?
No we wipe our asses with our hands, do they hand out the nooses or do you have to pass basic seamanship before you can commit suicide? Also doesn’t your chopped off penis wound fester horribly?
Trans game thoughever
Oh look it's Ganker finds out games are political the thread
FalloutNV isn't about homosexuals, shitskins and feminists though
okay, and your point?
My point is obvious to anyone with even half a functioning brain. Everybody enjoy kino games with real politics but not games with moronic 2020 identity politics shoved in them.
>Everybody enjoy kino games with real politics but not games with moronic 2020 identity politics shoved in them.
literally what does any of this have to do with this thread?
>My point is obvious to anyone with even half a functioning brain
your point is only obvious to your half functioning brain.
Exactly, thank you.
morono
>anon thanks himself to try to make him look less moronic
cant make this shit up
You're pathetic my dude, go back to subreddit or something.
>response says "my point is obvious"
>response to response "Exactly, thank you"
not buying it, either way you have no point in this thread other then the typical "LE TRANNIES R BAD!!!"
He just proved it to you idiot. Hahahahaha you can't be that dumb
but it actually have all of those lmao
More enemies to kill. It's an open-ended game like that.
Literally no one in the game is required except Yes-Man so unless Ganker starts seething about automatrannies in 20 years all's good.
don't care, still playing the GOTY F3
it is yeah
>le thinly veiled twitter politcs thread
move on from this shitty game for mental midgets already
Yeah yeah democracy, caesars, dreams...whatever. It's a rushed 10 month game.
Go to bed political gramps.
>It's a rushed 10 month game.
Yet it still manages to be one of the greatest RPGs ever made
Never heard that.
You too go to bed.
>Never heard that.
Now you've had
Well it's been like 10 years since i first heard it since release, newbie
>plays the newbie card while claiming nEvEr hEaRd tHaT
It's a looter shooter not an RPG
>Fallout New Vegas, a looter shooter in the same vein as The Division and Borderlands series.
Yes
there isn't anything wrong with 'political games' per se.
troony game
>Play a high INT, high CHA courier
>Max out barter, speech, science and medicine
>Very good karma, complete all quests with the best endings possible
>Choose yes man ending
Objectively the best ending for New Vegas, especially with the DLCs when the courier would have their weight in gold and the Big M.T at their disposal. They'd also have all the New Vegas bases and equipment of all the other factions to work with.
The only other ending that could compete would be House if he wasn't overselling himself with the space shit.
>my OC donut steel courier is perfect in every way!
how interesting.
New Vegas's political elements are, for the most part, timeless and even handed. Despite the Legion very obviously being the designated bad guy faction, the game still delivers an honest perspective on their beliefs and lets the player decide for themselves if they're right or wrong.
The most important thing is that the political elements fit in the setting and that they don't shove then cotemporary references down your throat that immediately dates it. This is despite the fact that the NCR acts as a very blatant commentary on the US's brand of post-9/11 imperialism. All the flavor is kept in-universe and can be enjoyed without any real world political context no matter the era you play it in, and that's why it'll be enjoyed for decades to come.
Which is interesting considering Fallout as a whole uses dated aesthetics to distinguish itself as a setting.
>Also, while the Caesar's Legion may be the Chud's wet dream faction, they're destined to fail, just has the empire they pose as, was destined to fail by their own corruption:
The same can be said about the NCR.
The House always Wins baby.
NCR is late-stage capitalism and liberal democracy. It's full of corruption, growing too quickly to be sustainable and probably not going to last much longer without drastic overhaul, fracturing, etc.
This is all juxtaposed to Caesar's Legion which is still in its very early stages. However Caesar himself is extremely fricking stupid, doing things like forbidding medicine or technology. Acts such as these are meant to force (and enforce) a sort of primitivism that favors naturally athletic, bright or clever people, but in practice Caesar's methods are artificial. They are effectively the same thing as when various forms of communism try to squash human nature (in this case squashing innovation), which never works. Human nature is totally inescapable when your society's made up of humans, and it doesn't take very much educating to see Caesar's society and recognize there's fairer, safer alternatives to everything he demands. Caesar wanted to go back further in time to try and kick off a human society that's more akin to peak Rome than failing America, but he did it so badly that he's lucky if the fractures of his empire remember him as anything but a barbaric luddite tyrant.
If House does anything correctly it's entice people. He probably has some virtual almanac of every topic imaginable, so all he really has to do is comb through history and repeat what worked. He is this sort of middle ground. NCR allows people extreme amounts of liberty (leading to expansion, but also corruption), Caesar allows people no liberty and tries to steer them, because Caesar insists he always knows better. House just sort of constructs an environment akin to older, flourishing ones throughout history and invites people to be themselves. Then he reacts accordingly.
It's not perfect, obviously. Eventually House will have to pull the reins back. Hopefully a good enough system of governing (organically-made, unlike House's) will fill the void.
My biggest concern with Mr. House is whether he can be trusted long time. He convinces the player that he's simultaneously above his human flaws while also still human enough to have empathy. Human nature isn't a have your cake and eat it too kind of affair, you have to take the good with the bad,and to me the question is if House is going to eventually lose his humanity or embrace it by becoming a full on tyrant. The Legion and NCR have a lot of bad and a lot of good, which give them clear cultures. House just wants to leave people alone and do his own thing. He can barely keep the Three Families in line.
