Mech, it's funny, because you've broken /d guidelines twice in a row now, and I'm sure it won't be met with any repercussions.

That being said, it was a pleasure working with you when you were behaving normally, I hope that you're in a good place and I hope you improve your behaviour if you wish to retain Discussions moderator rights, because you have a lot of potential.

Edit: Apologises JB, I was mid type before your message and didn't see it. I will cease.

^^^I find it extensively interesting and extremely hilarious how I forewarned the community in various ways about staff corruption and the wiki Bureaucrat has been globalled by Fandom, the company who own the platform, and you're sticking up for additional abusive staff behaviour.

I voted because nothing and no one has the right to tell me I can't return. If you don't like the vote, feel free to say why on my talk page.

A notice to all users here that I officially resign and I am leaving the wiki. Details are in my bio. Goodbye.

Any reservations about Fallout 75 aside, since I doubt there's a machine around in the wasteland that can play it, I'd probably scrap it for a settlement/base or sell it.

Morrowind is a great game, it's just not so much in line with Oblivion and Skyrim in terms of mechanics.

Aaand yeah, playing a game from 2002, you're going to notice a dip in graphics quality.

Shaking builds up usually presents a new spin on the game you play, in my experience. It definitely makes you use weapons and equipment you'd otherwise not use.

Only thing I'll say is melee builds are crap in 3 and NV unless you rely on Sneak + Perks. Even then, you're not taking down a Deathclaw or other high-tier enemies with pure Sneak.

@Thatguy1888 I'm happy to correct this a second time, but your thread, just like the Arthur Maxson thread, is pertaining to the characteristics of a character within a game.

With this, since it isn't discussing lore outright, I'd ask you put them in their relevant post categories. I've done it for you this 2nd time, but I shall give an example. Mocking Arthur Maxson's iteration in Fallout 4? Please put it in the Fallout 4 category. A character from Fallout 3 or New Vegas? Please put it in the Fallout 3/New Vegas category. Thank you in advance.

A more elaborate explanation of my reasoning is as follows:

We ask users to place their threads within categories. These categories have a fairly standard theme of progression. You have Fallout 1/2/Tactics, you have F3 and New Vegas, F4, F76, Roleplays and Fanworks, Lore and so on.

Unlike Shaun, Arthur is a trickier character because he is present in Fallout 3 and 4. Whilst I sympathise with that view, unless you're making a thread about mocking a child character, which is in poor taste quite frankly, then this thread pertains to Arthur Maxson's characteristics, choices and background context in Fallout 4. Thus, just like the Shaun thread, please put them in their relevant categories with that in mind.

Despite this notice, your threads stimulate discussion amongst our community and I'm not attempting to admonish you for something that might seem minor or trivial, it's just policy for us here when organising threads and topics.

Pip Boy 3000 Model A + Mk. IV.

Charisma slightly governs the prices you'll get from trading with merchants, so getting your Charisma points up is a must. The only relevant perk is Cap Collector, so focus on that.

Goodneighbour, Diamond City, Drumlin's Diner (both Wolfgang and Trudy), the major factions, etc. are all great places to sell off chems. Who you sell to doesn't matter so much, but I always trade with general store merchants and chem dealers, or factions' respective quartermasters like Proctor Teagan (BoS).

Getting Cap Collector and getting your Local Leader ranks to full is a boon, as within your settlements, you can actually place down stores. There are many types, but the relevant ones in this case (for chems) are the Clinic/Doctor's and the General store.

Whilst you do have to spend some money to place them down, you can buy the upgraded ones which will have a host of better items, a larger cap pool and will generate you the most from the stores, as part of their income will be deposited to you within the settlement's workshops. In the case of the Clinic/Doctor's, you will also have a physician within your settlement who can heal wounds and radiation.

So, not only do you gain money by selling them stuff in bulk, but they actually sell that stuff on and give you a cut. Even if you don't sell to them, they give you a cut anyway.

Be sure when you place down stores that you have decent settlement defences, because if your Defence rating isn't higher than your Food/Water, settlements will get attacked very frequently.

^^Glad I could help.

No, Boone will not hate you.

However, whilst Boone is with you, all Legion soldiers are marked as hostile. If you take him to Cottonwood Cove or Fortification Hill, he will open fire immediately and the surrounding Legion NPCs will fight you.

If you want to sneak into Caesar's Legion territory, you need to be wearing faction armour whilst with someone other than Boone, or go in solo. If you dismiss Boone, you can recruit him later. You can send him back to Novac or have him chill in the Lucky 38 until you're finished.

That being said, certain named NPCs can see straight through your disguise. When I went to Cottonwood Cove dressed as a Legion soldier, getting too close to Aurelius of Phoenix set him off and he went hostile. This also happens often with Decanus Severus and others. Keep that in mind.

Are they part of a faction?

If @P3rson man dude doesn't want to go, like last time, then we'll pick someone else. Last time the thread was dead for two days before we had to pick another person.

Are they a slaver? (wild guess)

Of these options, New Orleans would be great, since as previously mentioned, we haven't seen much of South US, and I think it would be an interesting change of pace for a Fallout game.

Not of these options? Canada.

^Funnily enough, we discovered the first feathered dinosaur in the 1860s, in southern Germany. It was called the Archaeopteryx. We actually discovered several of them.

In the 1870s, an English biologist called Thomas H. Huxley suggested dinosaurs evolved from birds and it wasn't universally accepted whatsoever (he said this after the 1859 publication of Charles Darwin's On The Origins Of Species which was another controversial challenge to conservative thought at the time, and it gave him the idea), and whilst a few were on the fence about it, or coming up with 50/50 theories like convergent evolution (an English paleontologist called Harry G. Seeley actually said exactly that), not many people agreed with him, and a whole host of people outright rejected him as a charlatan.

He spent the rest of his life unacknowledged for what he rightfully pointed out. He even made a mock dinosaur depiction called the Compsognathus to illustrate how feathered dinosaurs would've worked. In response, the leading dinosaur legend at the time, Richard Owen, wrongly claimed that Archaeopteryx was not a dinosaur and stood outside of the dinosaur lineage.

Suffice to say, hindsight has not treated dinosaur expert, Richard Owen, very well.

In 1969 we discovered Deinonychus antirrhopus, and John Ostrom, the guy who discovered it in Montana, was converted before our very eyes, as before he was indifferent/agnostic to the idea of feathered birds, but the resemblance to our present day avians was unmistakable.

Shortly after that, we discovered similarities in maniraptors, and let's just say historians were really getting into the Cold War spirit at the time, as the old arguments bordering on fisticuffs flared up, and books on the subject turned into volleys discrediting other authors.

In the 1990s (yes, it took around 130 years for stubborn humanity to outright capitulate to our old concept of dinosaurs), we discovered a perfectly preserved dinosaur called Sinosauropteryx, discovered by a farmer going for a walk on a hillside in Sihetun, China.

It was declared as having been "perfectly preserved" in the historical, paleontological, and biological worlds. This was important because a lot of the criticisms behind previous feathered dinosaur discoveries were that the fossils weren't intact or were missing pieces, as a means of poking holes in the whole "feathered dinosaurs" claim.

Jurassic Park's lore explanation in the first film, released in 1993, explains that they have incomplete DNA records on their dinosaurs and had to resort to a lot of amphibian DNA and guesswork to get it "right".

The actual real life reasons are a bit different. in August 1992, when the first Jurassic Park started filming, it wasn't quite accepted as such that dinosaurs had feathers yet, mostly because academic journals and literary work about this discovery had not been completely written or scrutinised.

Spielberg cited the previously mentioned doubts present in 1992 on a minor note when asked, but his main concern was he felt the "classic look" was scarier, and feathers at this time were a nightmare to animate in CGI.

Considering the settlement system is more or less optional, it's an ideal situation for both parties.

I personally love the settlement system and I'm incredibly grateful they added it.

I learned how to play Caravan, did the achievement, went away from the game for like 6 months, came back and totally forgot how to play. To this day I still haven't reclaimed my former card slinging prowess.

The sacred texts!
