Personification Life OOC IX [CLOSED]

[Monfrox]

Hey-o, I'm home, finally!

[Northwest Slobovia]

Slobo, ah. I wasn't sure if it was the movie or the Hindenburg so I Googied it. I need to incorporate the comic censorship into PL somehow!*

Ah. I think the Hindenburg line is "Oh, the humanity!".

PL seems to have some comic censorship: no levity IC. /nods

Agy, yep. Ituum is 'go, proceed' or something like that. Sep is seventh. So, add in cold... I have no idea where I'm going with this. *laughs*

I had no idea that Itum (or Ituum) even meant anything. Pleasantly surprised by that.

Seventh Cold Tread sounds like some sort of indie punk rock band, now that I checked each chunk of his name on Google.

[Northwest Slobovia]

Will be gone for 2-3 hours. Should be back later tho.

[Swith Witherward]

Slobo, we try. See you in a few hours.

Agy, for a cyborg? It should be aggrotech.

You know you fucked up when people turn into walking exclamation points and the birds are giant purple squares.

Hi, everyone.

[Swith Witherward]

Bad day, TNEL?

Hi, everyone.

Debugging didn't go quite as planned?

-poke-

Think you could check your TG's Swith?

Video game mods are potato. Redownloading like 30 gigs because you had to completely nuke your game folder is a pain on a 256kb/s connection.

Mods for New Vegas. :I All I installed was a freaking quest mod!

EEEeeeehHa! *POUNCE*

The last TG from you was the Florida man and his porpoise.

Ah, New Vegas.

*Jontron Fancy Voice* The fanciest of FPRPGS!

Quest mods have a shitty tendency to fuck other assets up because they create new references to their own assets. Combine them with asset mods like weapon or companion mods (god forbid that these are mods which spawn objects in the same locations as where the quest mod spawns objects) and you get missing character and animal meshes.

As a rule, I stay away from quest mods. Anything that does significant addition to core content locations is something I don't want to have to deal with. New weapons and companions? Fine, they don't significantly change any locations meaning that there's no real spawn conflicts (worse case is you get weapons or people falling through the environment because of shit collision meshes).

I kind of prefer Fallout 3 for the atmosphere but that fucked itself up too. :I

Usually I don't have that much of an issue with them. That, and New Vegas Bounties. Guy in charge of that needs to be hired to do a damn DLC with how good those mods are.

Personally, I find that F3 focuses too much on atmosphere, to an immersion-breaking degree. The bleak, apocalyptic tone is present in all the set pieces but the logic behind some of them is just ridiculous. Why would people be living on a bridge or in a ship when there's perfectly viable land covered in rubble? Why build a city around an atomic bomb that could go off at any time? Why populate ONE specific apartment building when there's so many to choose from in more defensible locations?

The atmosphere is great but F3 feels like a bunch of movie sets slapped together without a linear story driving the player (thus resulting in the disjointed appearance of the sets as you can jump from one to the other without necessarily following any set plot). NV feels much more like a post-apocalyptic world, one that's recovering but that still has to deal with harsh, real issues that feel immersive rather than contrived.

Fair enough. I liked being able to find interesting things out in the DC Wastes, which New Vegas kind of lacked for me. In Fallout 3 (at least to me) most regions felt somewhat distinct. New Vegas has a lot of invisible walls and empty space.

Also on the subject of Fallout games, I love all of them, but Fallout New Vegas can be damned boring at times because of the environment. Ooooh, a desert. It's not like I commonly see those whenever I drive south in California. It's not an exotic location for me, it's something close to home and thus incredibly boring.

Hopefully the next game takes place in a jungle or a forest. Nuclear Winters are an overblown concept, and nature rebounds rather quickly.

It's a shame NV has such a crappy environment because the characters feel far superior to F3's cast, the plot is more in the style of F1 and F2, and there's more to explore and do. It just feels more polished than F3 but the location lacked a little... something. It's not until you get to Vegas and its surrounding countryside that things get really interesting, and that come so late that unless you're like me and are willing to slog through mediocrity for the first few hours, the game fails to leave a good impression.

[Torsiedelle]

Wait a few hours? I just run straight to Vegas when I start the game.

I'd love to see post-nuclear Alaska since it's my home state. And I think something set on Kodiak Island or Interior Alaska could be interesting. Having a season system where the Midnight Sun comes into play would be pretty awesome.

But here I go theorizing again. It's probably gonna be on the East Coast again.

I definitely agree. New Vegas just needed a better wasteland and it would've pretty much beat Fallout 3 in every respect.

Or you could be that guy.

[Torsiedelle]

I like being that guy.

I liked NV more overall, but enjoyed FO3's over world. I loved GNR and Radio New Vegas.

Both had amazing DLC's. A game set in Alaska would be awesome.

I wanna be able to join the Enclave, too.

[Tiltjuice]

I prefer brick walls, Agy.

Do I owe posts anywhere?

Making a post for you

[Highfort]

One doesn't always have the opportunity; in addition, brick walls have a tendency to tear skin because of their roughness. Smooth steel is always nice.

I'll be honest, I thought Radio New Vegas was absolutely atrocious, if only because THAT STUPID ROBOT wouldn't stop playing Johnny Guitar. Nothing like the wails of a horrid singer singing a horrid song coming on horridly constantly. Maybe I'm not a fan of western-styled music but gah, the soundtrack could've used some variety. And Mr.New Vegas could've commented on more than a few quests.

Kinda, sorta. It's just a jumble now that Wren joined them, so I had Hans turn his attention back to Chrys. He didn't say anything. I left it open so you could dialog freely. I may need to run Rudolf. Cer was able to get the next thread set up, but ran out of time to post.

Sucks.
