You delivered a package, therefore you are an evil monster and must be punished by me launching a nuclear missile to destroy one of two factions because uhhh bulls and bears.

I understand hating this dlc, but did you really have to lie to get your point across?
Of course he does, this is a bait thread he doesn’t care about any of this shit. He’s just trying to farm (You)s
good afternoon, sirs
Good afternoon, sir!

Why are you homosexuals like this?
that image that you posted is moronic, if someone is evil enough to blow up Megaton why the frick would they ever give out water to a beggar, shove your reddit tier argument back up your ass where you found it
>thinks everyone is the same person
Go back. And btw the point is that you can do it, the fact that you can destroy and entire town, enslave people, and just be an all around bastard and then have it all dissolved by giving some homeless dude water really shows how much of a shit they gave about the whole karma system.
>inb4 the karma system is moronic
The why did you immediately come up with an excuse for it?
>guys role playing is bad because at any time you can just stop
Sounds like (You) problem
>deflection
That has nothing to do with what I said, if you’re role playing and evil character having the ability to just immediately at any time become good is lazy.
someone really took the time to make that image
this what you create when you only play scrolls and fallout shit
Why can't trannies make a point without a wall of text?
Morons with low attention span like yourself ruined RPGs forever.
Too much words. Todd wins again
did todd actually say that about violence
Not reading all of that plus you’re autistic
god this mod looks so bad. the Fallout 4/76 power armor models are at least more proportional to human dimensions even if they do stretch the user skeleton in-engine to fill the contact nodes. this titans mod is just super hero/homosexual bara body mods but power armor. its shitty cartoony stuff.
>MUH HECKIN REALISM
no one asked
og fallout powerarmor sprites never looked good in 3d
you talk like a gay, and your shit's all moronic
Ironically I think FO3 vanilla has better voice acting than FNV. Not by much but in general all of FO3's voice actors generally seem to be decent. Butch guy's is the worst overall (not counting the child VAs but child VAs are always shit) but still passable. FNV has good celeb voice acting and some of them are okay (especially the one dude who's in every video game and the Fantastic guy who's in a bunch of cartoons) but the South Park mom chick and black guy VA both sound like they'd rather be anywhere else than recording their lines, and read them as monotonously and non-comprehendingly as possible.
I honestly do not see how people can think this. Fallout 3's VAs are all flat and very samey. Every character voiced by Paul Eiding sounds exactly the same for example.
I certainly don't think NV has perfect acting because there's a lot of obvious line reading going on, but I really just cannot bring fathom why someone would think 3 has better voice work. Especially when it comes to the VA work for generic and unimportant characters. I mean, Liam O'Brien voices a large portion of the game, but characters like James Garrett, Cachino or Pacer have more obvious effort put into their acting than most of 3's characters.
The guy who does the Overseer and the ant town doctor's pretty great, definitely the overall highlight.
Lesko does have good voice work. I agree. Even if he's maybe sort of a discount Professor Frink
I dont think peopel give bethesda enough credit for transitioning the series into 3rd person 1st person, all while reinventing the artstyle a little and keeping it similar. Dont get me wrong, fallout 3 isn't perfect or anything but I still prefer it over outer worlds or wasteland.
They mostly need better writers. The gameplay skeleton is there but the moronic stories always drag the entire game down.
FO4 forcing a character with an already established history on you sucked so much.
FO4 could've been good if they didn't shit on the artstyle and really, really mess up with the writing.
It makes sense when you learn Ulysses is just the writer's mouthpiece and acting as him aimlessly attacking the series itself, because he both hates it but wants to write for it.
I'm glad more and more people are shitting on Lonesome Road for the try-hard garbage it is.
>muh special oc courier that was courier-ing before you did
>he is like the courier but like so much cooler
>and he is so much smarter too and wears the armor on the cover but its like his own version of it so its cooler
>also he talks a lot
>a lot
>a lot
>A LOT
>and the player has to listen to him because he is so hecking cool and deep and philosophical and stuff
Sometimes I like to play LR just to sneak into the final room and instapop his skull out of spite
The game gives you like ten different ways to call him out on his moronation and convince him to back down.
The underage Reddit refugees that infest this board don't even know what New Vegas is. They're just parroting the 'popular' (i.e. contrarian) Ganker viewpoint.
I told him Bear>Bull and won the game.
I don't know what Ulysses is talking about because I still haven't finished listening to his first voiced line of dialogue.
the courier didnt even know what was in the package, did he? How is he the bad guy exactly? Isn't it the fault of the person who used the weapon.... Ulysses is moronic
Lonesome Road was Avellone monologuing to the player about choice and did it in a really bad way.
He's not moronic, he's literally mentally ill. Genuinely schizophrenic. The idea of a catastrophe being a genuine accident is unacceptable to him because he believes that literally everything must have meaning. It's also a coping mechanism for grief.
I've played this dlc at least 3 times and I'm too stupid to understand what the hell he's talking about
you carried a package that accidentally blew up his home and now he is assmad beyond belief and wants to blow up your "home" in return.
also bearbullbearbull, markedmen, tunnelers will kill us all, the Sierra Madre was an inside job, etc. etc.
>tunnelers will kill us all
Will the tunnelers honestly kill us all?
>Will the tunnelers honestly kill us all?
This is laughable. Tunnelers are weak and die to just a few bullets from basically any firearms, and everyone is armed to the teeth. It's preposterous to think that we could even invade a single city let alone take over the world.
They are a joke. You don't need to be worrying about them at all.
The tunnelers are almost the dumbest shit in LR next to Ulysses himself.
Yes, these reskinned trogs from FO3 that look like scaly frog-people are going to destroy the entire world, and can kill deathclaws despite each of them dying from a few gunshots and having a stated massive vulnerability to bright light.
avellone literally just wrote that line in there out of pure spite
You were delivering (dependent) a package that blew up a place he liked and he basically blames you along with the NCR and Legion. So he made this whole elaborate plan to destroy your home. Honestly he’s just a schizo.
Theres sufficient evidence to completely deny what hes saying. A speech option for Cass exists where you can say “whats The Divide” or even ask how NCR lands are doing. For all we know he has you confused with another Courier or frick if anything HE carried the package and is just looking for a scapegoat due to the radiation and trauma frying his brain.
He's mad that you did your job.
He's mad that people didn't learn anything from the apocalypse.
He's mad because he's 15 and he's deep.
It's just poor dialogue, you have to go out your way to actually get his point and even then it's moronic
Literally worse than any writing in fo4
I just killed him, not a hard decision really.
I'm honestly baffled on why Obsidian considered this good writing. Chris Avellone was pressured by his wife to put her boyfriend into the game since launch and the best was a paper trail in every expansion and it ends with a bunch of "Bear and Bull, and I'm the Bull." Couldn't even be subtle with his fetish.
>New Vegas gets announced
>Argue with internet trolls that having an established background as a non-Vault dweller will ruin role playing of defining your own character
>Nu-uh you can totally make up your past stop overreacting
>This DLC comes out
I'm so glad to be vindicated just how fricking awful this game missed the point completely
>yes I will agree with the schizo who lives in the nuclear blasted hell hole about what character past is
Do you even know what roleplaying is? If someone says something you can say no.
No most people cannot roleplay. These are the kind of people who complain Kreia is forcing them to do anything or that they get punished for something in Mass Effect.
>vault dweller is not an established background
>but guy delivering shit is
They make it pretty clear that you were a courier. How is this any different from the vault dwellers? your origin is kind of pre written but what can do from the start is your choice.
FNV is a shit game, pretentious garbage, BULLSHIT. DLCs are also shit.
Why even bother posting a shit-and-run like this?
Is the objective really just to get mad at people and argue with them about something you claim to not even like?
honestly the worst thing about Lonesome Road is it doesn't let you be... evil.
New Vegas is a cool game to me because a lot of quests allow you to play a heartless egotistical frick. But this dlc in particular assumes you give the slightest frick about whatever nonsense ullyses is having a period about. you can't be ruthless at all in the same way the rest of the game lets you.
what the frick would that moron do if you just laughed in his face? told him you dont care slightly about what happened to the divide, and you would care even less if he decides to nuke new vegas? that's the ending i wanted.
I would have laughed my ass of if there was an option to say “yeah I delivered it and I knew what was in it”
exactly, its the most based possible response.
"yes, i blew up the divide for a couple of caps..."
>LR is shit
>You put up with it anyway just so you can get your aesthetic duster.
I'm a House guy but CL varient looks the best, it's a damn shame they are a shit faction with frick all content. Frick even House has frick all compared to the map being 85% NCR, they should atleast include options to expand House's influence into Freeside and Westside, the latter has no reason to exist.
>yes
>no but (90 speech required)
bad game sirs india superworld 2030
It really was a terribly written dlc. What was the deal with those underground things, anyway? Wasn't there some theory they would take over the entire Mojave or something? It was such a random addition on top of the rest of Ulysses' dumb shit
>What was the deal with those underground things, anyway?
nothing you do matters because some outside force you can't do anything against will come frick your family to death.
>mumble mumble bull bear muh bulls
Kill, launch nukes at both sides.
Ulysses and Kriea are worshiped by midwits.
>finish Lonesome Road
>nuke the NCR and Caesar's Legion
>lose a shit ton of reputation with both factions
>go finish Ring-a-Ding-Ding
>leave the Tops casino
>get my reps reset
who else /devilish/ here??
Same
>commit literally every negative rep act possible against NCR before meeting benny
I wish there was an option to tell Ulysses to just shut the frick up and stop using his moronic speech mannerisms, and that makes him start talking like a normal human being instead.
English isn't his first language and he's a schizo trying to sound smart. He was never going to make sense. I agree that there should have been an option throughout the dlc to tell him to shut the frick up.
yeah idk what his deal was, he babbles more than a israeli woman, so i just sniped head off once i got to him to shut him up.
The only correct option is to recluse to play and gas light Ulysses, picking every option that says you weren’t there. By the end I think he admits he might be wrong but there’s nothing doing about that now. Really just highlights how bad the writing is to a comedic level.
If I do Lonesome Road and blow up the NCR and Legion before hitting New Vegas, will they just stop hating me after leaving the Tops and meeting House like they usually do?
Yes
>you carried out a job without asking Import questions like what exactly you were delivering
>this someone resolves you of all responsibility
>Be postman
>Your job is to deliver packages and mail
>It is a federal crime to open up mail
>Some community gets fricked because when the recipient opened it he got a face full of ebola virus
Would you argue that's the mailman is responsible for any deaths in this scenario? It's basically the same thing with the courier
you are literally a glorified mailman, noone owes you an explanation of what you are delivering, because all you need to know is that the package needs to go from A to B
absolves, you fricking moron
>you delivered a package someone ordered and didn't happen to know what was in it
>you're the only one at fault for what happened
>resolves
Why shoot the messenger? Why is the player being judged by a member of Caesars Legion?
>be the mcdonalds employee who served brent tarrant breakfast that morning
>now responsible for a few dozen murders
The point of his character is that hes a mentally ill schizo, play and pay attention to the video game next time
LR is top tier writing because it captures exactly what talking to a political black person is like
> dead money = play it
> honest hearts = play it
> old reddit blues = skip
> lonesome chode = skip
FNV is now much more enjoyable
>Skipping old world blues
Your s walking lobotomite even without your brain being removed
ESL aside
Other than the elijah references the story is self-contained and just not very interesting - not to mention it makes you far too powerful for the rest of the game
Dead Money & Lonesome road have good characters, nice writing and don't give you any crazy bullshit that completely nullify the rest of the base game
>not to mention it makes you far too powerful for the rest of the game
Yeah I can accept that, honestly the quests were not that fun either. I just loved all the characters in it and that's what made it for me
The hub is a nice house/base and thats my main reason for enjoying OWB. The base game would be so much better if the Lucky 38 Penthouse suite was swapped with the wienertail barm it's dumb but I really liked the idea of looking out over the strip as one of House's minions, add a fast travel waypoint and you're good. Sadly we got the novac motel instead.
I would also say play DM because it's the best part of FNV, but skip HH because it's shit.
>skip HH because it's shit.
moron alert
>skip HH because it's shit
kys my man
>Skip HH because it's shit
A brave yet true opinion. How rare.
The only good thing about HH is The Burned Man. He's based but it's all people seem to think about when they say it is good. I never hear anyone praise literally any other aspect of it because nobody fricking cares about anything that isn't The Burned Man.
i liked zion as a setting even with the yao guais it felt like a more innocent and peaceful part of the world, i wish they would have done more with it.
Also the survivalists story was pretty cool
Based. Everything after Dead Money is pure dogshit.
HH is so boring i don't get why people like it so much
Because it's the only good DLC for FNV. It's better to be boring than fricking stupid. Not like the others are very exciting anyway, especially OWB and LR where you just walk through the same areas over and over again fighting extremely spongey enemies.
They only like it becuase Graham larps as some badass but is actually dissapointing as frick, the survivalist segment is nice but not enough to carry the dull gameplay and lack of things to do. It's a shame they made a tribal society boring.
It's really funny how you can tell nobody understood this character when this DLC came out.
You homies need to pay more attention.
lonesome road is my favorite dlc and non of you gays can change my mind
Why does Bethesda refuse to acknowledge New Vegas?
because new vegas isn't all about
muh 50s music and muh adom bomb baby so bethesda thinks it's not really fallout
I'm not autistic enough to understand this complaint. What exactly do you want them to do?
They need to mention something NV-related out of nowhere every five or six lines of dialogue.
You're talking about in Fallout 5 or just when Todd's speaking in general?
In 4 and all future games
>You bear the bear of the bear, yet you don't not bear it as a soldier of the bear bears it
Was I supposed to understand anything that was going on in this DLC? I walk to the dlc area to loot and kill and this random literally who starts spouting his schizophrenia at me. When I met him I had no idea what was going on and I just killed him. Did I miss something?
What, you don't like the disconnect and uninterested character background that's forced on your blank slate?
>nu settlement starts up in the divide when it was not fricked up
>bear bull man is happy because he sees finally something that has potential to become something great and different from all other factions
>courier delivers detonator and all nukes go off
>bear bull man angry because in his mind its the couriers fault
>bear bull man tries to justify his act of revenge as a lesson of history by nuking the ncr
There's really nothing sensible at all going on in 3 out of the 4 DLCs. Old World Blues is just Big Bang Theory: The Game, Dead Money is a weird interpretation of Hotel California where some crazy old man's unleashed a magical cloud that turns people into ethereal ghoul-ghosts and he wants to do this to the whole world because uhhhhh he's just le crazy, and Lonesome Road is just a linear hallway shooting gallery while Chris Avellone yelling at you via a mouthpiece NPC about how he thinks everything Fallout since Fallout 1's sucked (he's not wrong).
Honest Hearts is also a linear shooting gallery but at least has a story attached to reality, ex-tribal warlord has a change of heart, converts to Christianity, tries to let go of his old ways but is faced with violent enemies that don't care about his new morals, and you can choose whether to get him to go back to being a warlord or to stay on the right path. It isn't great but at least it's not Old Man Yells At Magic Cloud, Penis Fingers xDD, or Bear and Bull pseudophilosophy.
>some crazy old man's unleashed a magical cloud
acktually the cloud is big M.Ts fault not elijahs
I definitely enjoy the premise of Honest Hearts more than the others. Also, Joshua is a cool dude.
I don't think Fallout should be overly serious, that's how you get pretentious shit like LR, but I do hate how Fallout 1's pretty much the only game to balance seriousness and humor well of the bunch. FO3, FO4, and FNV's DLC (except HH) are so fricking goofy and tryhard quirky that it disintegrates my immersion. I liked FO3 too until the double suckerpunch of Little Lamplight and Canterbury Commons, and I just couldn't take it seriously anymore. The games WANT you to take it as a serious apocalyptic world but then throw in shit that's so stupid it boggles the mind, and all for literally nothing. Antwoman and Robotman add nothing to the game or story. McFrickface adds nothing to the game or story. The gumshoe detective robot squaring off against prohibition gangsters adds nothing to the story. The room of computers making neverending dick jokes adds nothing to the story. Why in frick hell does any of it need to exist?
>FNV's DLC (except HH) are so fricking goofy and tryhard quirky
whats goofy about dead money though?
The premise is an insane old man is trying to take control of a magical gas cloud to turn the whole world into ghost ghouls.
Sounds like war never changes.
he doesn't want to turn anyone into ghost ghouls.
when lonesome road came out, i was really hyped for ulysses as a villain because in my file at the time, caesar was long dead. i really hung on the dude's words and spared him at the end. but after my last new vegas run and hearing him all again, his writing is almost moronic. his voice actor sells it, but his entire perspective is such kicked-dog wackjob shit masquerading as philosophy. i blew him away with red glare and nuked the legion out of spite. and to get that b***hin 87th tribe armor.
ulysses would be better if the audience could tell if he was moronic on purpose or not
