I'm surprised you know their technical names. And yes, they are. I had to look at this video to find out. Also found out that most of the ballistic weapons' calibers don't seem to match up with what's on-screen.
Also bringing the charging handle forward on the combat rifle and not letting it slam forward on its own power. Doing that do guns like the M1 would cause it to explode.
It makes sense really, leaving the firing hand on while using the left to cycle the bolt. Allows faster chambering of a new round. You will see a lot of tactical bolt action rifles with the bolt handle being on the left side for Righty shooters.
The prblem I see is that:
1) Wouldn't the hot brass eject into your face or onto your body?
2) Don't you have to reshoulder your rifle and get your target into your sights every time you have to fire?
I dunno. If I'm wrong correct me. I've always used a rifle with the bolt on the right side, irl and in games.
The left handed bolt like in Fallout 4 is the same as the other aforementioned tactical rifles. The ejector is on the same side as it would be for a regular rifle, the casings eject to the right.
Also, the left hand bolts are more designed with the intent of the shooter laying on the ground, using a bi-pod, or resting the rifle on an object to stabilize it. Regular rifles are used more for a mobile shooter, like in Fallout 4 where it is more useful for the player to shoot and scoot.
Well, the pipe guns' shell casings don't match up with the cartridges in the magazine. And the Combat Rifle and Combat Shotgun's charging handles aren't a definite way of telling how far back the bolt travels. If anything, they could be telescoping...
Not everything. You lack an idea worth fighting and dying for, and moral integrity to persist through the generations. (I wager you'd kill your own family if there were enough caps in it for you Profligate. Democracy nothing. If it wasn't for the Courier, You'd have lost the Dam and everything, Legion would have persisted, with or without some Godlike Avatar intervening on either behalf. NCR will crumble under its own greed, while the Cult of Mars will reign eternal. Gods don't need to lie to the populace for votes, politicians do! You're the reason War never changes, Caesar would have ended the cycle. Even if he passed, Lanius would continue His legacy, as would his successor, ad infinitum. Ave, true to Caesar, now, and Forever. Never Forgetti,Profligetti. Git Gud, Casul
I think it's more like "can't read." You hired an obvious idiot to run a pre-war power plant, have inept military intelligence ( a poor hostage negotiator, bumbling bureaucrats, etc.), and struggle to cultivate proper agriculture without the use of Super Plant Monsters. The Legion, however, have excellent cartography for trade route establishment; basic yet uncomplicated understanding of economics, trading with stable hard currency (Inflation can kiss my ass, NCR Dollars); actually write out well-detailed documents for even simple transactions like slave trades, leaving no room for clerical error; every male is a soldier with in-depth knowledge in wilderness survival, carpentry, metalforging (how else would would they build boats and forts), emergency medical practice, weapons repair, basically even a grunt is on par with an NCR Ranger; and while not everyone's a Legatus, the Legionaries obviously know military tactics. On top of being self reliant, all Legionaries know three languages: Latin, English, and their own tribal dialect. Basically, Caesar's Legion is chock full of academic brainiacs and Rambos, and NCR is just retarded.
Ave, true to Caesar.
Profligate Retard.
Git Gud, Profligate.
Oh, and our spies successfully infiltrated your base and demolished your monorail system.
All your base are belong to us.
Profligate F**ktard.
Git Gud, Profligate.
Can't read for **** , but you'd recognize your profligate kind as your lead HELIOS One Scientist..
Pfff, as if. As soon Edward would have died, there would have been a internal conflict and struggle for power; And even if Lanius did take over The legoin, it got no real infrastructure. It can only pillage and plunder. **** the Legoin, **** the NCR, long live the true Godlike Avatar, House!
and a dumb leader who you can eventually do his brain surgery, jsut the choose to kill him cause he basically let you. jk tho, I love doing the Leigon stuff the most for some reason. Something about it is fun to me.
All the cannon endings so far have always been the "good ending" and the closest thing to a good ending would be independent, but I still hold out hope the courier just systematically stealth killed everyone in Nevada for their stuff
Dood, Legion had the upper hand before the Courier ran around. If he stayed out of it, Legion would have eventually taken over. It was (near) inevitable. That's canon enough for me.
That's the risk taken: NCR wanted to believe the Legion would fall apart without their precious old blob of a 'leader,' but Lanius proves to be absolutely loyal to Caesar, and everyone is equal parts True to Caesar Ave as they are scared of Lanius, which is very... I will concede that Lanius would lead the Legion on some suicide Crusade (as we do see in Legion ending where they fail to capture the Enclave Remnants.). My point being that the Legion won't dissolve from wtihin unlike what NCR was going through. Ave True to Caesar.
Yes, Lanius would finish the job without Caesar. But as you yourself stated he would most likely end up dead not long afterwards along with a ******** of his soldiers and leave the rest of the legion without proper leadership. The legion was very stable and safe for those that stick to its laws, but that is only for as long as someone's around to keep it that way.
Independent Vegas is the way to go****** Legion scum
Aww! Just when I thought I was in good company, a profligate ambush!
Ave, true to Caesar!!!
Now I'm the one who's got to Git Gud... I respect your cunning.
But as a true Independent, you can take the Ranger Duds for yourself, with the Securitrons as your new Immortal Machine Legion using Caesar's Military Intelligence as the new Neural Network for the Robots. It's perfect! Something for Everybody! Official Album of Independent Vegas. You know you want it to be...
I've killed my fair share of rangers for their armor. But sometimes the person in the suit matters too, so I make sure to be sneaky about it to preserve my relations with them
The number of times I killed that bastard...
I can probably count on one hand the number of times I spared him after seeing him at Nipton and that's saying a lot
Only once for the sole purpose of completion did I allow myself to fully join the Legion. It really ******* sucked. I wish they had more time to flesh them out properly
Get that **** out of here , scum
I wouldn't want to say it outright, but there's no official true ending. So yeah, nothing the Courier does after his brush with Benny in Good springs is canon. Inversely, everything that is without the courier's interference is canon.
That is so long as Caesar stuck around long enough to keep **** under control.
Legion ain't got **** but a bunch of beefed up tribals and an extremely aggressive general without him
Difference between New Vegas' BoS and FO 4?
I didn't blow up the bunker in New Vegas. Because they weren't a bunch of fascist assholes In my heart Danse is a minutemen
While they don't attack them in game, they have stated several times they wish to wipe out the synths, mutants, ghouls, and children of atom.
ALL of them. They never say "feral ghoul" "hostile mutant" or "institute synth"
Also, they are persecuting members of one of the biggest post war religions. And you can be sure that if Maxton asked they wouldn't think twice about destroying the minutemen, the railroad, diamond city etc..
unfortunately, Maxton seems to be turning them into enclave 2.0.
"Also, they are persecuting members of one of the biggest post war religions."
Buddy, have you even run into those guys? They kill people with gamma guns on sight, to fill them with "Atom's Glory." Even in Fallout 3 they irradiated any aqua pura they got their homicidal hands on.
Actually, the ones in the crater are the exception, not the rule. Literally every single freaking Child of Atom outside of the glowing sea is immediately hostile, and will kill anyone they see by filling them with "the Holy Glow." If you read one of their terminals, just north of Greygarden, they set up a shrine to gamma radiation, and killed innocent caravans and merchants. Those murderers were not some crazy offshoot, they were run of the mill Children of Atom.They worship and exalt gamma radiation and glorify it's spread. That is their prime feature. A religion who's prime feature is spreading gamma radiation should be exterminated, given their willingness to kill innocents with gamma guns and nuka grenades, what do you think will happen when they find a full sized nuclear warhead? How many people will they kill then? How many people will the resulting ghouls kill later? In DC there is an entire warehouse filled with nukes of similar potency to the one in megaton, what if they found that place? In the commonwealth there is a nuclear submarine with a fully functional ICBM warhead of similar potency to the nuke that single handedly destroyed Boston and created the glowing sea, what if they found that?
I'm not judging a peaceful religion on a few extremists, I am judging an extremist cult despite the few isolationists. This isn't like judging Christianity for the Westboro Baptist Church, this is like judging ISIS for being ISIS.
despite never outright attacking non-feral ghouls, a lot of brotherhood characters frown upon ghouls in general. While the brotherhood may be performing a good task, it's not because they're good people. A pretty decent majority of the FO4 BoS high ranking people (Paladins and upwards) are super duper racist. They don't express the idea of "We should protect settlements from hostile super mutants and feral ghouls" they have a mentality of "ghouls and super mutants are abominations" regardless of sentience, intelligence, or whether or not a group of super-mutants happens to be one of the few peaceful one (not that i've encountered any friendly super mutants other than strong in FO4, but it's been established that they exist, in FONV)
Fawkes from Fallout 3 was also a friendly Super Mutant. fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fawkes
Although he was more of a special case among Super Mutants. It seems like friendly Super Mutants, or atleast Super Mutants with a general level of intelligence, are a rare exception.
Strong hate rather than genocide doesn't make it better. Attacking anything and anyone that isn't human would be waging open war against the Commonwealth, which wouldn't be very wise.
McNamara was the only decent one. The rest were assholes, who wanted to just shoot everything within a 5km radius of the bunker just cause. Plus, if you overthrow him and appoint one of the assholes, they actually decide to attack the NCR rather than help them, because they decide the NCR is weak and will be easy pickings. Dicks. All of 'em.
Probably just gonna be another separate title released in 2 or so years with significantly greater quality that Bethesda will continue to ignore while making massive profits off it. **** I really hope they do that again
Me too man. Me too. I think maybe they trade off and on again, every other title. Bethesda does East coast, Obsidian does western NCR type stuff. I'd be happy.
Josh Sawyer the project director and lead designer of New Vegas posted some Louisiana Field notes books on his instagram and for a little while people thought it was a teaser for a possible Fallout New Orleans game. www.instagram.com/p/-xJOP-Jx4t/
While he has expressed interest in making another Fallout game, he said the instagram post had nothing to do with Fallout on his twitter, it's possible yes, but the whole thing was a misunderstanding.
unrelated, but I love that the laser guns have way more effectiveness and power than 3/NV did. They felt like the pipe guns of 3/NV, while in 4 they actually have some usefulness.
They're actually very strong in New Vegas...if you take the relevant perks. Just one of those imbalance things that often creep into the Fallout games.
Well, they pretty much ditched the whole skill system an replaced it entirely with perks. It may not be truest to the series, but the new system suits me better. It doesn't make sensless distinction between energy weapons and standard guns like the old one did. Principles of shooting a rifle are the same, while they are different from shooting short arms or melee combat.
That being said, I would have appreciated an option to strip down a gun into individual mods instead of scrapping it altogether or having to build the basic part when all I want is that frickin scope.
If your weapons are super good without you having to specialize in them at all, they're not very balanced weapons. It's no secret that New Vegas' ballistic weapons are overpowered, even after they nerfed the crit chance on sniper rifles. When I play an RPG, even an action RPG, I like to be able to build around certain items, whether it be weapons, armor, or a magic necklace that just happens to make my goofy-ass build work.
I can understand that, but you can do this by manipulating reload speed, improving time it takes to clear a jam and reducing weapon sway. But having a pistol have trouble killing a radroach on lvl1 and oneshooting a deathclaw at lvl99 using the same weapon and ammo, it just breaks immersion.
Not really. Your character progressed, and became more skilled, which is exactly the sort of thing skills and perks are meant to simulate. You start off as some kid with a pistol and become Vash the Stampede.
Also, radroaches are pretty much killed in one hit by every single weapon.
Even in the ending where the Boomers start sending people out into the wasteland to trade with NCR, they still don't let people into Nellis, so I wouldn't count on it.
Although the NCR showing up to match the Brotherhood's air superiority would make me cum buckets
I did not say anything about anyone going IN Nellis, I said NCR would Hire the Boomer to fix the planes in McCarran and Searchlight. NCR has Virtibirds so they have pilots and gear to train them but more planes would not hurt.
most of the intact planes we see in NV look like private Cesna types and they could easily fit them with small arms with the Boomers and Gun Runners help to serve as scout planes.
and if the Boomers can repair an old 200 year old water logged B52 they can easily repair those.
1) why would the Boomers do that
2) why would they train anyone that's not a Boomer to fly a plane
3) why would they want to fly planes for other factions
1) they'd get some of it for themselves. also CAPS and FOOD and MUNNITIONS from Gun Runners and NCR.
2) NCR ALREADY HAS VIRTIBIRDS AND PILOTS I said this already
3) like I said again, they are just HIRED to FIX the ones in McCarran and Searchlight.
1) they are self sufficient, they don't need caps or food, and they have ammo enough to last them a while
2) you were taking about planes, not choppers
3) again, why WOUld they DO that
1) Key word is A While. they do not have the manufacturing capabilities that the NCR has access to and from the looks of it aside from crops and pre-war food stores they dont have access to fresh meat that again can be traded for their service.
2) flying Virtibird of any kind is more complex than whats park at McCarran and Searchlight fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Jet_plane, NCR can train some FNG to fly one of those in short order.
3) why not there is literally no downside to that deal, hell they can test fly the planes themselves. they are not like the BoS who are total shut ins. sure they may not let anyone they dont trust in Nellis but anyone of them there would probably jump at the chance to fly a damn plane. hell if anything the NCR can make a deal to make the Boomers part of the Airforce of make one if it doesnt exist already.
>not total shut-ins
>bombard anyone who approaches them with artillery, even prior to the trade deals with the NCR
come on man I'm not saying the idea is bad, in fact I like it if you read my first spoiler you'd know I was a fan but the Boomers are isolationist and they don't like other people.
Too bad the NCR is about as powerful as the late-game Minutemen. If weaker, because the laser musket gets OP as **** with 6 cranks. Ignoring retarded, glitched vertibird pilots, the BoS has literally every advantage. Power Armor, laser rifles, Liberty Prime, a ******** of mininukes, and more vertibirds.
Elder Maxsons glorious beard alone would take out the NCR.
do you even know how ******* big the NCR is? the ones in NV are all but cut off from California Joshua Graham said it himself that if what happened in the Divide didn't **** up the NCR supply line they would have steam rolled the Legion and would have owned the mojave earlier.
and the small cut-off force reduced the mojave chapter of the BoS to single bunker.
fallout.wikia.com/wiki/New_California_Republic
They are roughly a century behind the BoS in terms of technology, training, and supplies. They get ****** by raiders that couldn't handle a BoS field scribe. Literally, the only thing they have going for them, is the Anti-mat rifles.
"The Brotherhood enjoyed a considerable advantage during the early years of the war, as their advanced technology and high standards of training allowed them to inflict tremendous losses on the NCR's military. However, the NCR had a far larger pool of manpower from which to draw troops, while the Brotherhood remained a selective organization, allowing the NCR to easily replace its losses while the Brotherhood became desperate. The Brotherhood fought fiercely, but in the end the NCR's numbers prevailed, and the Brotherhood forces were overwhelmed, forcing them into hiding. Having lost the surface, the Brotherhood prepared themselves to fight to the death as the NCR began to invade their bunkers."
stronger how? equipment? the F4 BoS have the same **** any BoS chapter have. not to mention the NCR has Gun Runners to supply them with Brand New Equipment.
experienced soldiers? the NCR has fought off the enclave main force, the Cali and Mojave BoS. Khans and the Legion. and the last four were practically at the same time. not to mention they have ghouls that were soldiers since before the bombs fell who are now Veteran Rangers and they have the numbers.
The East Coast Brotherhood also aren't the isolationist nutjobs that the West Coast are. Yeah, they believe that technology should be kept in the hands of the Brotherhood but they still recruit from the population. Meaning they have a larger pool of manpower than the West Coast chapters that refused to let any outsiders in.
If the NCR gets that far east, they will have resources and manpower as well as equipment roughly equal to the BoS because they salvage EVERYTHING. They would have literally the rest of the continent to draw men and equipment from.
If the NCR and East Coast Brotherhood ever came into conflict, it'd likely be somewhere in the middle of the continent because the Brotherhood isn't going to stop expanding either.
The east coast brotherhood is too bogged down by being ineffective twats biting off more than they can chew and being generally bad at resource management to actually expand to the point of being a threat to the nation the NCR is building.
That was the result of the Divide ******* up supply lines. Before that everything was going perfectly for them. Now that they have New Vegas, there's nothing stopping them from fixing that issue.
Let me put this into perspective. The NCR took on the west coast Brotherhood when they were less than a quarter the size they were in New Vegas. Compared to the east coast, which is just the remnants of an expeditionary force, the west coast brotherhood was
-better organized
-more heavily fortified
-better equipped
-had superior training
Sure, the east coast has Liberty Prime, but the NCR has an orbital laser, aircraft, ********* of anti-armor weaponry, probably tanks and **** too. They also have the stated goal of expansion, which isn't even a secondary goal for the east coast Brotherhood. If a conflict were to occur, the NCR would come in full-force and steamroll them with their superior numbers and almost limitless resources. Just like they did with the west coast.
They use T-60 in fallout 4. Second best Power Armor in the game.
And they obliterated the Enclave at every turn.
It was wrecked once before, and was remade to be much better.
if those early NCR soldiers from F2 can contend with the enclave and their better armor with just sheer numbers, I guarantee you post Vegas NCR can deal with the T-60's fine and with experience fighting and wining against assholes with Power Armor they'd develop strategies and equipment against them. namely fielding their own Power Armor units. sure they were salvaged from dead enclave and bos soldiers but hey they work.
for prime. well everything has a weakness, it be hard to find yes but Im sure if they chuck enough fire power to it it'll break again.
gameplay yes. but not story wise. a concentrated fire of anti-armor munitions would bring it down just fine. and the NCR has those resources to field against it.
