You was smoochin with everyone!

I love you…

Yeah, that’s why they fit more in 76. They were created by pre-War experimentation inspired by real life government experiments and are localized to one area.

It’s not watertight but again, it is probably their best excuse of the 3 they’ve given.

While I largely agree with you, I thought you said the lore is inconsistent so it doesn’t matter?

EDIT: Oh, wait. I kinda see what you’re saying now. My point is that the all the Super Mutants are, gameplay-wise, are big, tough guys. You can write a big, tough enemy class into your game a million different ways, which they did more creatively in Point Lookout. It wasn’t a choice between inconsistent lore and fun, they’re just lazy.

There was nothing wrong with it. 'Til I was about 12 years old and that no-talent ass clown became famous and didn’t kill himself

Here I come, rougher than the rest of them
The best of them, tougher than leather
You can call me Knuckles, unlike Sonic I don’t chuckle
I’d rather flex my muscles
My heart is nails, it ain’t hard to tell
I break 'em down whether they’re solid or frail
Unlike the rest I’m independent since my first breath
First test, feel the right, than the worst’s left

Moths!

Or maybe bees. I have always wanted to hug a bumblebee.

Toes are small pigs that get butchered. We all just visualized the pigs as anthropomorphic.

Spot on. People in this thread are incorrectly assuming that we want him to play them for “the lore” and not so he can see the tone of some of the performances.

But I do respect the actor wanting to take notes only from the director, it’s just I don’t trust this particular show’s direction.

I love the tone of this article. Fuckin tell em.

Fucking based?

Yeah lol I tried the Tabbed UI and then went back after it was unusable

Okay, you’re clearly not getting it. Muslims are bad and gays are bad, so obviously they support each other. /s

Because if you’re around frogs you might get lept on? Genius.

Absolutely. They switched out creators almost every game. But I would still say that even with the differences between 1, 2, and NV the series still splits pretty cohesively into the West Coast series that tries to build upon the history of its world and the East Coast series that tries to create a freshly-fucked apocalypse with every outing.

You can have both fun gameplay and consistency. In terms of gameplay, Super Mutants are just big, tough humanoids, nothing unique. I do like what the addition of the suicider in 4 does for gameplay, but they’re bullet sponges in most of the games. Bethesda proved they can come up with a regional variant on that enemy type in Point Lookout with the Swampfolk.

As for the Super Mutants themselves, they have at least half-assed an excuse every time they appear in the games, with 76’s Super Mutants kinda fitting pretty well. The more they do it, the less valuable FEV is, but the Super Mutants are really the least of my problems with the lore. However, their constant reuse indicates a desire to establish series icons that they can use to market the game instead of good mechanics (look guys BoS again!). Above all, it really indicates a lack of creativity to me. They absolutely did not have to make a choice between their game being fun and their game having well-thought-out lore.

Well, they said their problem was rigid character mechanics so all I can assume is that levelling their character didn’t get them where they wanted. I personally haven’t had a NV run where Courier Six wasn’t a complete badass by the end. And yeah, 1 & 2 are extremely different, which is why I’m recommending them to a person who didn’t much care for 3 & 4.

You’re absolutely right on your point about the core elements. They think that the Fallout universe needs a Triforce, a Master Sword, and a Ganon. But it’s just not that kind of series. The iconography is so much less important than the themes. It feels like they’re jingling keys in front of us sometimes when they show off BoS and Super Mutants (who were supposed to be dying out).

Funnily enough, the only icon they use that would feasibly be in every part of the US was Nuka Cola, and they retconned its design…

Play 1, 2, or NV. Much love.

…I’m so happy in the jongo?
