Not impossible

just highly unlikely

It's true that a lot of things feel off with their Fallout stories.

Like it's been 200 years since the bombs dropped but it still looks like the war was last week. 200 years is a really long time, you guys.

One shall stand, one shall ball.

Also with Skyrim you could spend and irl week mining and smelting metal to make daggers to sell then repeat to level up smithing to make your sword hit slightly harder.

i want them to keep all that, i'd just like to see them break away from some of the mechanics like carry weight and other bullshit

Yes, carry weight is the worst.

i love it in f3 because that's such a hardcore game

(and i don't even like fallout 3, but i can appreciate it)

like fallout would be so amazing if could just magically send all my shit back to base and not have to keep transporting there

i'm sure they could think of an in-game explanation for that too, some sort of teleportation module or whatever

or you have to send your companion back and you lose them for x minutes or something

Basically they should just spit Fallout into Bethesda Fallout and Obsidian Fallout, they'll take place at opposite ends of the country and have nothing to do with each other.

Then I could just West Coast Fallout for life. West Fallout, Best Fallout.

heh i think f4 is my favorite fallout game, but i agree the west coast has more interesting locations

That's pretty much what they've been doing though.

I don't think I've seen a single New Vegas refrence in F4.

lol yeah, i love the tip that appears during loads that goes, "nuka cola caps are the most widely used currency across the whole wasteland"

I ain't heard that Obsidian is making the better version of Fallout 4 yet!!!

Not irradiating the consumer is good sales practice imo. Sunset Sarsaparilla is pro as hell.

They unfortunately might not be. I would love if it happens though.

hey it's only the nuka cola quantum that has rads

arkarian

red chamber dream

or wait, maybe it's harmless amounts of rads

the fallout lore is pretty insane if you read it, heh

Nuka Cherry for life.

i didn't realize they released nuka cola quantum on the day the bombs drop

so that's why there are so many pristine bottles

At least in NV and I would assume 3 Nuka Cola gave one rad for drinking it so that Sass was 100% better because it didn't! Cue me carrying 40 pounds of Sunset Sarsaparilla through the wasteland.

Also I love Fallout's carry weight system because a small bottle of soda could slow you to a crawl if you picked up at the wrong time.

arkarian

hmm i swear there aren't rads in nuka cola in f4, so either they changed it or (likely) i made it up
