@noelle maybe I did, maybe I didn't...who wants to know? *shifty eyes*
@matt that is... remarkably uncomfortable to listen to for some reason wtf
@keeri and finally Lonesome Road is... well it's an endurance run, it sorta combines Dead Money and Honest Hearts's feel, with a lot more exploration, and natural hazards to overcome. it's positively DRIPPING with lore, and ... gosh it hits kinda hard at points.
Worth it tho.
One of these days I might try a Hardcore playthrough, see how I do :3
@keeri as for the other two, which you probably know about, Dead Money is heavily built around survival, and using what you can get your hands on since you start with almost nothing but some clothes and a unique energy rifle (which is v. cool btw, love the action of it, VERY ammo hungry tho XD ). picking up everything you can, trading it in against other items (no caps in this DLC!), or using casino chips to buy food, stims and items is key, as is stealth, observation and careful planning.
@keeri Double this up with the fact that each DLC actually has a very different feel and style to it. In order of play, Honest Hearts is pretty close to standard gameplay of FONV, but has more of a slant towards exploration, path finding and locating secrets, which rewards you with lots of great gear.
Old World Blues is pretty hard at points, but has amazing rewards, and is genuinely hilarious at points. It has a very 50s scifi schlock feel to it!
@keeri I can honestly HEAVILY recommend FONV and its DLC, like... if you haven't got all the DLC yet, definitely get them. All four of them are amazingly well crafted, fit perfectly with the lore, AND expand on the core story as well! Plus they're good, hefty content packs, with lots of exploration, additional story, lots of secrets to find, great characters, great stories, great writing, and amzingly good environments.
technical question, advertising
@lizardsquid oh dang I was right with my total guess? :O
@plugs oh yeah defintely, they've still got bethesda's trademark jank in the character models
@V wait what the collector's edition came with a platinum chip!? Oh shit, fuck. that's AWESOME
@owashii@snouts.online hey remember how in Fallout 3's core game world Bethesda stuck their own HQ in the game and let you explore its ruins? because they were that desperate to make Fallout theirs? and they spent all their time on "environmental storytelling" and the sidequests which are all infinitely more interesting than the core game story because they can't write coherent long form stories to save their lives?
@owashii@snouts.online holy lol fuck XD Every so often I am like "hm i wonder if I should just give fallout 4 a chance, the wiki makes it seem like it and its DLC are kinda interesting" and then I remind myself "yeah but it's Bethesda's writing so it's gonna be fuckin garbage adn I don't wanna pay for that"
yeah i'm moving over to chitter.xyz now. Soooo go there! I'm there now.
