I mean the BoS shit out 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 T-60 suits which appear out of nowhere and how they had a war with the Outcasts then literally do the same thing the Outcasts do and no one ever brings up how retarded that is

shh, it still annoys me that T-60 is a thing to begin with.

Also, when a single leader decides the majority of your policies, it's hardly surprising that rapid changes in ideology are possible. After all, Lyons wasn't exactly in line with the West Coast's BoS chapters' beliefs, and the East Coast BoS in general always struck me as a more fluid and adaptable organization than their West Coast equivalents.

edit: also like half of the knights you see in game don't even have power armour :/

Yes but thats because they brought an airship which holds like -5 suits if power armor but apparently its supposed to sustain hundreds of personnel thought a sustained campaign.

It'd be cooler if Boston Airport had massive tiltwing aircraft airlifting supplies and manpower to Boston from Adams AFB.



Imagine this but with 100000 guys in T-60 power armor and literally airdropping Liberty Prime w/ the bomb from Megaton to drop it onto CIT and nuclear detonate down into the Institute.

I'd side with them then.

tbh the hyperspace airship is kind of annoying, I could easily believe it holds enough to lift all the power armour the brotherhood needs, but to do that plus lift in liberty prime, who is p. much half the size of their airship and made of something significantly heavier than hot air? Yeah, that's not happening.

I kind of figured they have to be doing some kind of supply relay, hence why they set up at the airport and not wherever they damn well felt like because :airship:.

[Husseinarti]

I think they were trying to find a place to try to put it down or whatever.

There is a terminal that bitches that the nuclear reactors they have are going though coolant allot faster than they thought it would even hovering.

[Licana]

Yeah, a better way to have done this was to set down an initial force and command staff at the airport and then run that fat fucker up and down the coast to ferry supplies in. Then they could have at least explained how they managed to ferry Liberty Prime and all of the supplies the Brotherhood needed to occupy the area without it just being "airship carried it all in one go lel."

[Husseinarti]

Everything but the head.

A Vertibird piloted by some knight dressed as Lincoln would have to put the head on Liberty Prime.

@all hating on me and my anti-fallout post

fallout 4 is nothing but like 10 quests
all of which have a horrible load of cons to them

you can, a. Finish with the minute men (AKA boring radiant quests)
The institute: A bunch of science people who are the most morally good and reasonable side, but worse off for the commonwealth
The railroad: So boring that I couldn't even pay attention to anything (Plus the Delphine voice actor, hated her)
or The Brotherhood of Steel: Kill everyone who's not a human! EXTREMISM! F*CK ALL THE HATERS WE ARE SUPERIKOR!!1111!!

so yeah
honestly It's NOT enjoyable after you finish the story
that's to say without mods, or the DLCS
but for now, it's a hunk of mediocre story and mediocre game

Thanks for coming to FOT today, you made a difference!

Oh shit, I didn't know /v/ played nationstates!

You clearly haven't seen TFG at its height.

I mean, when your ultimate weapon in 2288 or w/e is some 1700s shit, that's just proof that your faction a shit tbh.

better than the enclave whose ultimate weapon in 2287 is some 2070s shit or the BOS whose ultimate weapon in 2287 was designed in the 1800s or the railroad which doesn't even have any weapons

>implying the legion weren't garbage that I practically wiped out by level 10

edit: also at least their howitzers were fucking modern.

>level 10
>not going in at level 1 with a ballistic fist and exactly one Pork & Beans to clean out the entire fort

fucking casuals, i swear

I mean if a little tittle tattle in 2077 hadn't happened, yeah I could see that being a valid point.

These mortars are literally the best mechanical achievement anyone has been able to accomplish. Capable and accurate artillery is hard to produce even today. The artillery the Minutemen produce and use in great effect has a circular error probability (CEP) of less than 100 meters all the time. Even current modern artillery guns such as the M777 score around 50-200 meters of CEP, depending on conditions. The only artillery systems that produce a CEP near this are the M114s seen in New Vegas and the MLRS used by the Enclave of which both are prewar in design. The M114s have the advantage of already pre-plotted and know where their enemy is going to be.

Along with this, we see that the mortars of all of a standard design, which was something that was only partially true until the industrial revolution, when parts could be produced the same way in large numbers. These mortars have a solid concrete base, which has the ability to traverse their guns 360 degrees around and seem to have a good degree of elevation as well. In this, the guns also have some kind of striker design instead of a fuse system which canon of the mid-19th century had.

In this, we come to the cartridges. Semi-fixed cartridges, in which the shell (Which is of a high-explosive fragmenting design, again something that not everyone can just produce) is loaded after the charge is. The charge is loaded separately before the shell is. These shells have a primer on the base of the cartridge. This is evident in the rate of fire and that there is now fuse system on the gun.

Then, we come to the FO/FDC system. By simply throwing a smoke grenade, you get highly accurate, properly timed, and highly effective (If you throw your smoke right) artillery. This means that the FDC is on fucking point. No need for corrective shots is fucking outstanding.

The only people who have done achievements near this are the Brotherhood, but airships don't clear ground, they just sit to allow for ADA to engage them. The Institute doesn't count, as they have been working for allot longer than the Minutemen artillerymen.

okay wait a minute
is it REALLY spoilers to say that a nuclear apocalypse happened in Fallout?

I mean the BoS shit out 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 T-60 suits which appear out of nowhere and how they had a war with the Outcasts then literally do the same thing the Outcasts do and no one ever brings up how retarded that is

that's your job, considering you're the only one in the entire fucking commonwealth who can survive a fight with a Mirelurk Hatchling

If only Bethesda knew how to operate.

uh ok

The Outcasts had about zero plot relevance and end up fighting the Brotherhood a sum total of zero times on their own. This isn't a civil war, this is a civil cold shoulder.

And yeah, compared to...well, most of the factions in the fallout universe, they are adaptable.

Dearest Bethesda wasn't thinking about logistics, they were thinking about what looks cool!

Rule of cool trumps all, come on this is common knowledge.

Also that airship coming in for the first time was fucking glorious.

Frankly the Institute is the shittiest. They're spending all their effort on fetching abraxo cleaner to get their interior to shine pearly white instead of building some powerful ordinance. Synths are nice but that's all they are.

That doesn't sound cool at all. Gauss rifle is a lame one-shit rifle. Might as well be sniping radroaches.

Mowing down a bunch of weak Railroaders with an amped-up Gatling laser beats it in every contest. WITNESS ME, BITCHES

It would be cool if it actually let you do that. I mean, this is nice tech. Why blow it up?

If you fight the Brohood with the Railroad, you pretty much have to kill everyone aboard anyway.

It is technically marked as a settlement, fun fact.

Gatling laser is dumb and only kills stuff at the cost of half a fusion core.

Gauss rifle, on the other hand, cuts through power armor like cheap construction paper. Gauss is love.
