Shotgun build is pretty much unbeatable. Riot shotgun+And Stay Back=Instant stunlock on EVERYTHING, including Deathclaws

At least if 3 is remastered, then NV could soon follow since they mostly use the same textures.

Definitely recommend both 3 and NV if you at all like 4. However, I’d recommend getting them on PC for the mods, as only 4 has console modding. Also, Fanatical is currently running a bundle where you can grab them both will all of their dlc for $7.

Frank Horrigan was ultimately defeated by a baseline human with some advanced weaponry. Adam Smasher has canonically survived nuclear blasts, plural. And that was when he still had an organic body.

Just to give an idea, there was a random cave you could come across that had a deathclaw inside. I lifted the following verbatim from the Fallout: The Frontier Wiki: 

When the player is in speaking range of the deathclaw a non interactive dialogue will appear:

• *The creature before you languidly lashes it's... Her? Tongue in the air, tasting your scent.*

And

• *The deathclaw's wandering eyes convey all you need to know. You are looking at an entity of pure lust.*

It only gets worse from there.

Having played both, I’d say Frontier just because of how utterly bad the writing is on top of the fetish stuff being so out there. I beat it the first time doing the NCR story and didn’t get exposed to the fetish writing so much outside of a couple side quests I stumbled on, but on my second playthrough I tried the brotherhood storyline and it was just so in your face about every disgusting fetish the writer was into that I just stopped playing.

The laser musket is strictly a rule of cool weapon. If the game had been made so that real guns and ammo are hard to come by and the musket could be charged for infinite shots then it would make sense but as it is there is just no reason for the laser musket to even exist beyond the devs running with a gimmick.

One is a super weapon capable of almost singlehandedly destroying two high-tech factions and was only partially destroyed after a direct hit from a barrage of nuclear missiles. The other is a relatively common autonomous tank that couldn’t deal with one soldier and can be destroyed with sustained small arms fire.

Bethesda partnered with Penny Arcade for a comic on Vault 77. They even made it canon.

I’d say energy because although it fires a ballistic round, the gun itself is made of sci fi tech similar to the laser and plasma rifle. Therefore, proper usage and maintenance for the weapon would require an understanding of the internal mechanisms in energy weapons that a standard gun doesn’t have.

In order I’d say 21>3>34>Outside>11>19

I go with the Operators and the Pack. The Operators just care about the caps flowing, while the Pack can be dealt with by making an example out of any would-be usurper. I don’t trust the Disciples at all because they’re literally just psychopaths who murder for the fun of it. Given that they’re already murdering other raiders in the park, it’s only a matter of time until they need to be dealt with. Better to just wipe them out now rather than wait.

He shot me in the head and I survived. If Benny died from the same thing it’s a skill issue on his part.

It’s not unique because you can get two K9000’s, and thus two FIDO’s

I would love to see what a space marine would do to a horde of cazadors

Given that the plague was barely mentioned even going back to the Black Isle Fallouts, it could be argued that although the plague was scary and deadly, it was contained in specific regions so it was not yet a Covid level epidemic. As for the post-war world, I’m not a biologist but they could just write it out and say that the intense radiation and deaths of most infected people during the Great War effectively wiped out the plague in nature due to not being able to spread to new hosts.

Dead Money is hard in the sense that it adds survival horror elements. None of your op gear, no using a bunch of ammo on a random enemy, and areas that require exploring your environment or sneaking to progress. Honestly, the hardest part for me was the creepy vibe the place instills, as I don’t deal well with horror. Otherwise, its just a temporary change to the New Vegas formula.

Darth Sion would lose his will to live first from Prestons constant nagging about another settlement needing help.

I did normal rounds until I played on hardcore mode. Then the ammo weight meant that I needed more firepower with fewer bullets and developed a love of hand loaded ammo.

Given that they had no presence in the show, its likely that the Legion failed to spread west as it intended. Considering the Legion relies on constantly conquering new areas for recruits and slaves, failing to expand would collapse the Legions economy and create an internal crisis just like what happened to Rome. This would only be exacerbated by Caesars inevitable death to cancer or the Courier. Best case scenario for the Legion under these conditions: The Legate survives to prevent a power vacuum but lacks the same governing ability of Caesar and cannot conquer more territory due to the Legions already over-expanded borders, leaving the faction to fall due to a gradual decline that could easily happen within the 15 years separating the game from the show. Worst case: The Legate dies, and the Legion quickly falls to civil war or just plain dissolution without a leader to hold the while thing together, which is mentioned by several npcs in game. In any case, this is just speculation and the question will hopefully be addressed in the second season.
