nuka cola spoilers

Spoiler
they fucked up x01 lore YET AGAIN
Spoiler
what did they do to it now
Spoiler
apparently the nuka cola company SOMEHOW got their hands on a set of X01 power armour and applied a paint job to it despite the fact that x01 was developed by the fucking enclave AFTER the war

Fucking really?
people on reddit have the beta and that's what they've said

I don't understand how that breaks canon.

Spoiler

The Atom Cats exist and create post-war paintjobs, it's perfectly believable that someone copied the Nuka Cola artwork (literally pasted everywhere, let alone in Nuka World) and applied it post-war to existing power armour, including X-01's. We already get Vault Tec, Abraxo Cleaner, Sugar Bomb designs and pre-war hotrod paint jobs from magazines already... why doesn't this extend to an iconic drinks company in the fallout Universe?

Sounds like the lessers of the Reddit-Hive scrounging for anything to add to the hate Fallout 4 pile so they can bask in bandwagon karma.

Spoiler

This Nuka-Cola X01 is from pre-war similar to the Vim power armour from Far Harbour, which is impossible. Besides, the entire concept of the Atom Cats is dumb and further highlights how Bethesda don't give a fuck about the canon. Power armour shouldn't be so accessible to the point that you have a small group make money off of painting it for people.

Kiwicake · August 19, 2016, 02:23:11 AM

Of course everyone has power armour, the BoS just gives it out these days

Ok, fair enough.

That's a tad fucked.

It's honestly like a totally different game at this point, with the direction they're taking it

big dog · August 20, 2016, 04:22:29 AM

Bethesda can't even follow their own lore.

BaconShelf · August 20, 2016, 04:54:08 AM

What the shit.

big dog · August 20, 2016, 04:55:21 AM

Reminder that this company is in charge of Fallout lore.

BaconShelf · August 20, 2016, 05:17:15 AM

I don't understand this business of EVERY pre war company had some dirty secret going on. Like, when you enter the office of some prewar institution, it's like they all have to be dumping nuclear waste in the lake or selling weapons to criminals or something.

Not every business is some shady corrupt organisation. Well, unless secondclass is in charge of writing the lore now anyway.

HOLY SHIT 1.7 UPDATE MAKES VAULT TEC DLC UNINSTALL ITSELF FROM YOUR CONSOLE AND YOU CAN'T REDOWNLOAD UNPESS YOU BUY IT AGAIN

10/10 bethesda.

I mean, i wouldn't care because >vault tec workshop but I have a bunch of mods dependant on it.

Guess I'll just go back to Elite.

A Cheese Potato · August 20, 2016, 05:49:13 AM

By the Settlements of the Commonwealth, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Fallout.
Remember, O Obsidian, the children of Bethesda in the day of Massachusetts who said, "Raze it, raze it, even to the foundation."
O daughter of Interplay, who art to be destroyed. Happy shall Todd be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy series against the stones.

Mattie G Indahouse · August 20, 2016, 05:55:18 AM

Is this game worth getting? Today I'm going to trade in Bore Man's Sky for it.

Not really, the story of the game is kind of a bit shit, you have very little choice bar one big choice, exploring after a while becomes boring due to the loot system handing you borderlands style enhanced gun, making finding new weapons not all that exciting. Power armour is really cool as a system, when you're using it your feel like a tank and upgrading it is fun, but the novelty wears off. The side quests are mostly dull bar a few good ones.

It really depends on how long you can play before the game wears off on you I think, some people would say it's a good game just not a good fallout one, but I personally think the game is much too shallow and poorly written to be a good game.

BaconShelf · August 20, 2016, 06:57:48 AM

I've enjoyed my time with Fallout 4. But that's with the caveat that I rather like the settlements stuff. If you have no interest in the building up towns thing I'd pass it up and buy New Vegas or 3 for much cheaper.

big dog · August 20, 2016, 08:58:49 AM

I'm just glad Bethesda haven't touched the West Coast whatsoever. Their games might as well exist in their own inconsistent continuity.

I agree. Fallout 3 may as well be a spin off game of the universe not due to the gameplay, but because there's no references to the other games. With NV there's a ton of things referencing the 2nd game and we have weapons which were used in it. NV is truly the Fallout 3 of the series.

I don't really have that much of an issue with Fallout 3. From a lore perspective it's more poor execution of decent ideas, there isn't really much that's offensive aside from Little Lamplight and making aliens canon. Should have been Brotherhood vs. Outcasts instead of Enclave but oh well.

Batch · August 20, 2016, 09:31:03 AM

Currently going through NV again myself.......stopped when Fallout 4 came out and.......I dunno, Fallout 4 is a good game, and I know its been said hundreds of times. But damn it doesnt feel like Fallout.

I wanna know about the current factions, NCR, Legion, THE ENCLAVE

Not what ?I was given, the had the gameplay nailed, but the story was just......forgettable.

So here I am, to cleanse the Mojave of Legion filth once again!

Kellogg mentions the NCR in his memories if I recall right, and The Enclave is just pushed aside in a couple lines said by a few BoS members.

Jono · August 20, 2016, 10:01:47 AM

I think its hilarious how the game pretty much doesn't tell you how settlements work and yet all the DLCs besides Far Harbor are all settlement-focused.

Mattie G Indahouse · August 22, 2016, 03:12:13 AM

I ended up getting Red Dead GOTY instead of this game, did I make the right choice?

It's all pretty accurate until Fallout 4, where Bethesda kind of warped the map a bit.
