New Vegas was Obsidian not Bethesda, that's what contributes to people having a favourable opinion of it
Bully all Latin nerds

New Vegas wasn't bad. The gameplay mostly sucked, but the plot, writing, and environments were pretty good, and I liked how they handled skills. That said, I'm not really a fan of post-apocalyptic settings.
>>153
well i just checked the world's most accurate encyclopedia and:
"... and published by Bethesda Softworks."
and the proof's in the pudding, because new vegas was pretty much indistinguishable from fallout 3 (which in turn was basically oblivion with a skin) in every respect, including the plot and characters and writing. i hadn't bothered to check into the details of the development because as i said, the proof's in the pudding, but i'm guessing bethesda brings a pretty financialized development environment to any game they publish, even if they outsource the development to a different company, and even if that company employs some fallout 2 devs (apart from my heuristic speculation about anything bethesda touches turning to shit, there's ample indication that tihs happened in the development section on the wiki article too). it's the financialization that's the problem, same reason all of EA's games suck.
in fact i'll even say oblivion was the best game out of those three, not that i have any love for it
sorry, i know i'm being autistic, i just really hated it, lol
How the fuck do they do that?
Fallout 3, New Vegas and Oblivion are all good but only if you use one of those modding guides that add like a billion mods and takes like 3 days to do
>>157
Publishing is not the same as developing, really all they did was slap their sticker on it at the end
But whatever it's besides the point
Why do her knees smell like Raid
>>161 i'm well aware publishing is not the same hting as developing but if you think they're totally disjoint you're fooling yourself. i'll go quote more from the world's most accurate encyclopedia
>Bethesda commissioned a sequel.
so, again, they outsourced the development. it's not like obsidian pitched the game to bethesda and bethesda just handled distribution
>Bethesda rejected Obsidian's idea to set the game between the events of Fallout 2 and Fallout 3, but they did approve of setting the game in Las Vegas.[19][20]
so bethesda actually had substantial creative input
>Obsidian were unfamiliar with the Gamebryo engine
(because it's garbage and it's impossible to make a good game in it)
>The game had a somewhat short development cycle of 18 months.
you really think bethesda didn't have something to do with this? i bet it was in the contract. this kind of dev cycle is exactly the kind of thing i mean about financialization. they spent 18 months shitting out mediocre dungeons, making a crude overworld map of LV, and trying to patch up the engine into something usable. the only actually interesting characters/quest i can remember was the elvis impersonators. everything else was just content farm schlock
but you're right, it's beside the point, because anybody who has played both fallout 3 and new vegas can tell you they're almost exactly the same game
>>159
i disagree, these mods improve things but there's still basically no way to make an action game good when it randomly lags because the engine is shit. and there's no way to make believable / relatable characters when the faces are right in the middle of the uncanny valley. it was a fool's errand from the start
to me it's honestly the weirdest thing that other ppl dont hate it as much as i do
i hope you guys are enjoying my autism as much as i enjoy it when people argue about their weird diets on here, i really like those posts

>to me it's honestly the weirdest thing that other ppl dont hate it as much as i do
there is a contigent that hates it, but for the most part because they like fallout 4 and are embittered by the difference in reception or they interpret liking it as a partisan political statement because modern internet

new vegas is remembered fondly mainly for being the best 3d fallout game which is frankly, not a very high bar to clear at all
all the mechanical/gameplay problems of 3 are still there but it at least had some interesting characters. the design docs for van buren project looked fucking awesome and im still mad to this day that we'll never get to play THAT version.
navigating the overworld and fighting enemies were generally more of a tedious chore than a fun challenge. where it really shined was the branching dialogues, deep (for a 3d CRPG) characters and the overall plot and worldbuilding. the character building and branching plot also made it possible to self-insert basically any backstory and personality into the PC that you wanted. want to be a gay antifascist wandering the mojave murdering racist white male slave traders with your doctor boyfriend? u can do that. want to be a cowboy drifter blowing from town to town like a tumbleweed, staying just long enough to kick the dust off your spurs and solve all the towns problems? u can do that too. i don't think ive ever felt "this game would have been much better as a visual novel" about very many games but new vegas was one of them.
>>171
I dunno about a VN, but definitely would've been better in the OG fallout style.
I agree about the self insert thing, the courier also has way too much influence. The only realistic thing is the Kings stuff and that's because you're in the ear of an already powerful person.
Most stuff the Courier does would have them be a nearly religious figure in whatever faction they help.

Buy my shit on ebay you cowards, fuck. 18 watchers now.
They're trying to wait for me to lower the price when it's 30% off the nearest listing, it's in good condition and complete, and ebay is going to take a 10% cut, I'm not doing that.
wonder if you could mix white monster with salmiakki vodka

Sometimes I have dreams about websites that probably didn't exist, but feel like they just might have. Like last night, when I was dreaming about (re)visiting something similar to min.us, but for hosting a variety of minecraft content (maps, mods etc; it very notably had a white and lime color scheme). There probably were (or still are) several sites that could fit the bill, but most likely it's just an amalgamation of various websites and internet experiences... or I could actually have forgotten that such a site existed, and this thought scares me a little bit; what else that used to be a big part of my life could I have forgotten?

I met a couple people who said they were experiencing it back when it was the hot new mental disorder that all the cool kids had. I have a couple of thoughts, but they mostly boil down to those people putting way, way too much emphasis on signals from the rest of society. It's as if throughout their entire life they'd been taking their As and trophies and stuff seriously and expecting their life would be like a TV show. Now finally they were expected to provide results, everyone was too busy to hold their hand, but there's nothing external to blame it on because, after all, they were never denied anything. Some of them were bad, some of them were just bad at knowing whether they were bad or not.
It would have been amusing to watch them try to contort "I wasn't rejected, everyone is friendly and helpful, and I'm treated as if I'm competent" into racism/sexism/*-ism by way of mental illness if it weren't so depressing.
>>210
It's not a disorder, this is like writing a post about Trump Derangement Syndrome, it's just an expression about a feeling of inadequacy. (I also think you're confusing this with the "gifted kid burnout" fad that was talked about a few years ago). Anyway a more charitable explanation is that it's a response to social pressures that the person didn't experience before, like, say, a programmer who was self taught for a decade suddenly feeling out of place taking college level courses in a building where they are graded and amongst peers.
Until I looked it up, I thought you were talking about the disorder that made people think their loved ones were replaced with imposters. How weird would that be if it became common

>>212
Did you read it? (I read it just before posting to make sure I wasn't talking out of my ass). It's not a diagnosable disorder, there's no DSM listing, it's just a description of a certain mentality that people have. The claim wasn't that people have thought and wrote about the phenomenon, if they hadn't the term wouldn't exist, the claim was that it was a mental disorder.

That's going to be difficult, as I have never heard him, nor seen him with my poor eyesight, express an opinion on the perseverance of the saints.

and by real I mean presented as legitimate and written by humans

i think impostor syndrome is just the feeling that a dumb or incompetent but highly educated person has knows on some level that they're dumb or incompetent
as usual, women and men are incompetent at about the same rate, but disproportionately more women experience imposter syndrome because they're more self-aware than men are, generally.

Why do you feel like shit waking up at noon
Impostor syndrome is just people rightfully realizing that they are dumb and worthless, and that in an ideal world no one like them should be near whatever profession they are in.
Of course, this is not an ideal world, and most people are braindead meat sacks.
I do not suffer from impostor syndrome, I am too attractive and intelligent for that. I trust all my fellow DQN users are as infinitely handsome and genius as I am, otherwise we would not be using such a high quality bulletin board.

I too have been having dreams about sites of questionable reality. A particularly reoccurring one is this strange sort of combined imageboard and forum with a rather active gardening board, and a very, very cute css theme. I can't tell if it really existed at one point, or if it's an amalgamation of postbox.garden, sushigirl, early 4taba, and maybe a few other sites.

I read about raceplay and the people for and against it.
I guess I dont understand why a guy wanting to be called nigger is that different from CBT and other physical masochism.

>>243
To my understanding the most common form of race play is when a black woman, while dating a white man, calls him massa and all that weird southern slavery stuff. Presumably it's half ironic and half kink, akin to "daddy's cummies" play.
I really hoped these MoFi One-Steps were just audiophile snakeoil, but this is easily the best record I've ever heard.
