Still fits "always" :tongue:

I don't know I always saw Fallout as NCR's story. Democracy nuking itself back to the stone age, starting over, destroying itself again and so on. I think they hit the expansion limit so if we see another game on the west coast, I think we're gonna bring NCR down.



To each their own, I guess.

I actually liked House right away, because before ever playing the game, I'd pondered on different styles of leadership, and I remember thinking that dictatorship in itself isn't horrible as long as the right guy is in charge, and the problem is finding the right guy. When I met Mr. House, I thought "LIKE THIS GUY" and immediately wanted to support him. For me, Fallout New Vegas was making more of a statement of asking the player what they found was important for peace in regards of political positions rather than a story of democracy returning. It presents the democracy we're all familiar with, the anarchy we all consider but are afraid to embrace, a dictatorship that's harsh and cruel and another that's reasonable but a dictatorship nonetheless (with a side of capitalism!). To me, each group or person represents a position. The Kings for example represent freedom, because they're unwilling to compromise freedom under the rule of House or Caesar and can only co-exist with democracy or anarchy. The Followers of the Apocalypse represent idealism, and how good intentions and/or an unwillingness to compromise when seeking ideal results doesn't always mean good leadership, considering the Followers themselves are so focused on what's right that they fail to see what decisions will lead to their best ending.


I actually still haven't completed a House playthrough (which will change once Lonesome Road comes out, I think I'm doing that for my Courier Six playthrough) because I always roleplay as a member of the different factions in the Mojave and no one really supports him, cept the White Gloves. Thought long and hard about who I wanted to support on my canon Courier Six playthrough and I just remember playing through the main quests for Yes Man, NCR and House without saving a bit to see how things would look if I supported them (would Veronica leave me, what would Arcade Gannon say about the situation etc). I just remember hearing Mr. House's explanation of why we need to save Kimball and thinking "holy balls, this man is an absolute genius and he's thought of literally EVERYTHING. How can anyone kill him off?"

Judge: "Your client is accused of assault, battery, and murder in the 2nd degree. How does he plead?"

Attorney: "We would like to enter of plea of 'QQ moar' your honor."


:rofl: I'd pay to see that happen.

But the internet does not operate on real life rules of interaction. Which can be a good thing too, believe it or not.

Hey what the hell? Jason left in the middle of us telling him what the canon ending is!

What a jerk!
He must be a Legion supporter.... :brokencomputer:


Hes probably the only one who wanted the Legion in the game..

Todd: Alright, So we've got the NCR, and House. Do we need another major threat and completely cut them down with only four missions in total?

Developers: (In Union) No, we're good! Lets just focus on making the game better and expanding it with more random events, towns, and faction missions!

Todd: So, its agree-

Jason: Hey, what about these Legion guys from that one game? I want them!

Todd: Your heard Jason, get to work!


And thats how the Legion was born. <_<

I do hope they bring back the Legion though. The series is more interesting with colorful groups like them.

Personally? When I play New Vegas, I actually miss the Enclave. I miss them simply because even though they were bad, they were one of the main characters in the Fallout family, and the Remnants ending in NV seems to suggest that this is their last hurrah before riding off into the sunset. It's gotta happen sure, but I'll miss them as I would any character. :sadvaultboy: I wouldn't be surprised if the same happened to the Western BoS too after a few games.
The Legion though? They just got started. They don't have to come back as the same Legion with Caesar in charge and they may reappear being far weaker than they were before, but at least let them have their nation and their story.

Carrying on thread one, how do you feel about Lonesome Roads unforseen delay?

Original thread can be found http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1219477-lr-wont-be-released-this-month/.



I honestly don't mind, I've got a new character to keep me busy. The only faction I've supported at Hoover Dam so far is House, so I've got the main quests of the other three still to do.

I don't have time to sift through both threads, so I hope this hasn't been suggested before...

Most likely, the devs were going to release it the 23rd, but the higher-ups at Beth decided to delay it due to competition (Deus Ex?) or to meet their sales figure quotas.

I'll bet the devs are more pissed than they've hinted but can't express it.
Just a possiblilty, I don't have any hard evidence :/

Looking forward anyways, no hard feelings

I say: "Whatever." It's delayed - so what? I don't really care that it got delayed and I don't really care why, either. It happened. Everybody who is freaking out needs to take a Valium and calm down.

(Censorship!) happens. I've got plenty of ways to distract myself until it finally comes out.

I admit, I was really anticipating that DLC this month, but now that I know it's not coming out yet I'll just wait for more official news.

Anyone notice that Jason only said it wouldn't be out this month instead of saying that it would be out next month so either he's playing it safe and doesn't want to repeat this whole thing again or we'll be walking the lonesome road in Halloween costumes.

As I said in another thread, I'm scared to be even remotely specific. Clearly the fates don't want me doing that.

Yeah but you said if you tried to give us a release date, the skies would open up and tear the world apart.

You did once already, and look what happened: the skies opened up and tore the Divide apart. So basically we owe the Lonesome Road to you and your attempt to give us an approximate release date, because without you, there never would've been a Divide to base the DLC on. Thanks! :thumbsup:

At the end of the day, once Lonesome Road comes out, that's it. It's over. Finished. No more, etc. As far as we know, at least. NV has been out less then a year and we already have an incredible amount of content. I'm sure waiting another month or so wont hurt.

Say Jason, is there any chance of us getting a bit more of a savory screenshot of Lonesome Road? I didn't find that one released to us all that unique >_> (I know I don't speak for all of us, but I personally found it way to bland to be a 'teaser' shot)

Clearly you don't understand how much of an impact that pile of rubble had on the Courier's life. In time, you will know.

I have to agree. The screen released today is probably the least exciting screenshot I've ever seen. :P Not to sound greedy, mind you. But I'd like to see something a little more "significant".

How could I have been so foolish, thats the rubble where Ulysses and the Courier reenacted Brokeback Mountain

I have to admit that when I saw that picture I thought they were referencing that song:

"You take the high road and I'll take the low road, and I'll have the DLC before ye."

And that's a picture of the High road we attempted to take, hence, the delay. :C
