| TIL that Fallout 2 was the first game ever to have Same-sex marriage Posted: 09 Jan 2018 07:12 PM PST Also if you're interested, I found this awesome essay by Patricia Hernandez about how the same-sex relationships option in the game impacted her life. https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/11/23/gaming-made-me-fallout-2/ EDIT: Thank you so much anonymous redditor who gave me gold ^ [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 10 Jan 2018 01:36 PM PST I haven't played Fallout 3 in about 4 years, but I still remember all the good times I've had with it. I remember finding the minigun for the first time and blasting raiders apart like they were pieces of cardboard. I remember walking through the lonely areas of post apocalyptic DC with no radio, no companions and hearing that amazing soundtrack playing as I just walked in silence, taking in my surroundings. I still remember how hyped that trailer made me (I love Fallout 3's marketing campaign, it has such a great tone) and how much I love GNR. I want to play it again, but I'm worried that after playing New Vegas so many times and loving it even more, I won't be able to enjoy it. I want to stay with my memories. Some of the best memories I've had in the game were from the DLC, Point Lookout. I still think it's one of the best DLCs for a game ever. I thought the Capital Wasteland was depressing, but when I entered Point Lookout, I felt the same feelings I had when I first stepped out of the Vault. The musty swamps, constant fog and the sparsity of sane, friendly people made the loneliness even stronger. It was just me, my shotgun and a bunch of disturbing, violent hillbillies. I love the detail put into the backstory of the place, and it was a joy to explore. The main story wasn't the most amazing, but I enjoyed it quite a bit, and looking back on it, it has a similar feeling to New Vegas's OWB DLC, though much more subdued. It seems that Bethesda also love this type of environment, as they've done another DLC with a somewhat similar vibe, with FO4's Far Harbor. I just wanted to reflect on the DLC. And the game in general. I love Fallout 3, or at least my memories of it. Thanks, Bethesda. I've had more good times with your games than any other developer's. [link] [comments]  |

| Holy motherfucker i thought i was high while playing NV Posted: 10 Jan 2018 02:02 AM PST So I got to Nova and talked to that one old dude about his brahmin who keep on dying at around midnight and that he would give me a reward for taking care of the situation. I stay behind a small concrete platform and hide there until 12 and I'm waiting there for about a minute and nothing happens so I just decide to leave. Well folks right when I get up and start walking away, I can faintly grasp what looks like a nightkin who legit looked like he was from the future and teleported in and was using a stealth boy, and then whoops out a minigun, kills a brahmin, then leaves. I go over to investigate and then notice that awkward coating you see over a figure when they're in stealth, and I shoot at it with my sturdy caravan shotgun, and sure enough it's a damn nightkin with something over its eye with a minigun. I thought I was hallucinating honestly since it was so random. I was dying because it was so surprising that a NIGHTKIN out of anyone possible would be the culprit. I would love to see something like this in future fallout games, just stuff out of the norm! [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 10 Jan 2018 07:34 AM PST there have been rumors leaking for a few days saying that there is going to be a New Vegas mod for Fallout 4. Do you think it is as entire reboot of the game on Fallout 4, and if so, why in the form of a mod? [link] [comments]  |
| The Rising Sun, a fan made tribe Posted: 10 Jan 2018 12:56 PM PST Mojave tribe. Name: The Rising Suns Hierarchy: Chieftain and Shaman guide the tribe Men: Warriors, Hunters, Scouts, Builders, teaches boys Women: Cooks, Makes/cleans clothing, gathers plantlife, teaches girls Religion: They believe the Sun is God's Eye, and when his other eye (a second sun) appears to watch over them, they will pass on to a glorious, but humble afterlife where they live forever in peace. -----RITUALS----- Marriage: When a man and a woman in the tribe marry, the event is public for all to see at the communal fire, the Shaman and the Chieftain preform the appropriate binding ritual that seals the couple's bond for eternity. There is a great feast and a bond between the bride and groom's families, and then the couple take two days alone, just between them in a sort of honeymoon. Same sex marriage in the tribe is prohibited, for religious reasons. Pre-battle: Before a battle, all of the warriors gather around the center of the tribe's village, and begin a series of blessings from the Shaman, chants, prayers, music, and where necessary, the addition of war paint. Post-battle: If a battle is won, then there is a great feast in honor of the dead, and the living warriors of the tribe, as well as sacrifices of food, blood, and sentimental things to the communal fire as a way of thanking their God for their victory. The funeral for the warriors who died proceeds as is described in the funeral section below. Birth of a tribe member: The birth of any baby in the tribe is overseen and delivered by the Shaman. The Chieftain will also be present, as well as the father of the child. The Shaman, once the baby is delivered, will bless him or her. If the baby is a boy, he will be blessed with the strength of a thousand warriors, and if the baby is a girl she will be blessed with the kindness and the forgiveness of her ancestors, to keep the tribe alive. The mother and father name the baby its true name, and there is a celebration among the tribe. Funerals: For the Chieftain, the funeral begins with the burning of the Chieftain's body in a special funeral casket which is filled with all of his personal belongings. The Chieftain's ashes are then stored in a funeral pot with his name on it created by his wife, and daughters if he had any, and it is placed next to the ashes of the previous Chief in a tomb near the village, his head dress placed on top of it. For the Shaman, the rite is very much the same, his body is burnt in a different casket made for spiritual leaders and his ashes are put into an urn made by his family. The urn is placed in the same tomb, on the opposite wall across from the one used to hold the Chief's ashes. Generally, the shaman's ashes are placed exactly across from the ashes of the chieftain, when their deaths are close to each other's. For warriors, their bodies are buried with their families, their weapons stored in their coffins so that in the afterlife they can ward away evil spirits. The Shaman will bless them upon death, and wish them a peaceful afterlife. For women and children, their body is buried with their earthly possessions in a communal cemetery, for all to visit whenever they feel. Their caskets have kind words carved into them from friends, family, and tribe members before burial, so that the compliments and good thoughts travel to the afterlife with them. New Chieftain: When a Chieftain dies, steps down, is exiled, or otherwise is no longer the leader, their oldest living son becomes the next in line to take his place. If he has no sons, it is left up to his wife and the Shaman to decide on a worthy warrior, which can result in a week long event where the candidates prove their worth in a series of duels and rites. Daughters can not take the Chieftains place, as it is a position reserved for men. New Shaman: When the Shaman dies, steps down, is exiled, or otherwise is no longer the shaman, the Shaman's apprentice takes his place, the Shaman's apprentice is picked by the shaman himself very carefully, and is taught the history and spiritual ways of the tribe over the span of many, many years. The Shaman and his apprentice must have passed their rite of passage as well. Exile: The tribe member being exiled will approach the central fire, surrounded by the rest of the tribe and the Chief & Shaman, a ritual will proceed in which the tribe member's head dress if they have one is taken from them and burned, then their paints and other earned spiritual affects are stripped from their body/clothing. The Chieftain, the Shaman, and the tribe member's family will address them in front of the tribe in that order, giving their input on the exile. The family is given the option to leave with the exiled one, out of respect for keeping the family whole. If they refuse, then the exiled one is sent out alone, humiliated, their family must rebuild it's honor and reputation with the tribe for a while, but they won't be rejected harshly. If the family goes with the exiled one, they are also exiled, and are never to return. Technology: They are in possession of guns, which they know how to use and maintain They are also in possession of bear traps and other primitive traps, to defend their home They still use very primitive weaponry mainly, as well as more primitive armors A good number of them can speak English, though their main language remains their native tongue Their symbol weapon: The tomahawk and war club Rite of Passage: The men have a ritual that they can first attempt at the age of fifteen, where they venture out into the wasteland under the effect of a sacred hallucinogenic plant for three days. They must find and slay a worthy beast, collect its skull or another suitable body part to wear as a trophy, and then bring the entire beast home. There, they will have a feast and party all night as a celebration, during which the one completes their rite of passage by consuming the heart of the creature they killed. It is believed by the tribe that doing this connects their soul to the felled creature's, making them one and giving the tribal their fighting spirit. After, the Chieftain gives them a handmade traditional war club, and the Shaman gives them a pipe hawk, the two ceremonial and functional weapons mainly utilized by the tribe. The larger the creature they slay, the more respect they will garner from their fellow tribal. Tribal Paints and Affects: Members of the tribe commonly wear a variety of paints and trinkets to signal various things they've done and seen. Children's paint is generally simple lines and dots on their arms, showing the number of animals they've hunted under guidance from the men of the tribe. Dots for smaller game, lines for bigger creatures. Women bear circles on their arm, one circle per child they have, and a plus sign in each circle per child of theirs that has done their rite of passage. The men in the tribe have much more complicate paints, on their arms they bear the same trophies for animals hunted, and children they've fathered but on their backs and arms they bear the number of people they have slain in battle, and on their faces they get some intimidating paint designs made by them, used to scare their enemies. Further in, men gain paints to further show the spirit of the beast they killed in their rite of passage, including a well painted image of the thing they've killed, followed by symbolic messages scrawled below it to describe the aspects of said creature. The Shaman has all of these things as well, but on his head dress he bears a four pointed star inside a circle, inside another circle, in between the two circles is a series of dots. The shaman also gets a tally on his chest, of how many rites of passages he has overseen, how many blessings he has granted, and how many years he's been the Shaman. The Chief gets the same paints, but the star on the head dress is a set of arrows crossed in an X, and the tally also has the number of battles he has led his tribe through, instead of blessings. Every tribe member, regardless of status, does gain a burning Sun painted on their back, and right arm. Additional paints are allowed to be added at the individual's discretion, given the symbol holds personal meaning to them. Trophies: It is not uncommon to see warriors and boys in the tribe bearing trophies from enemies and stronger creatures they've slain. An example of this can be seen with Stands Like Bear, a warrior in the tribe who bears his sacred Deathclaw Skull, adorned with the feathers of a legion Veteran Decanus, as well as a necklace of Yao Guai teeth/claws, and the right arm from a suit of T-45 power armor. Generally, warriors have trophies like that to show their accomplishments in battle, while the young boys war bracelets and necklaces containing things like gecko teeth, and other smaller game trophies.

| New Vegas version of Ticket to Ride I made for my wife. (x-post from /r/gaming) Posted: 10 Jan 2018 03:53 AM PST I made this in early 2017 for my wife's birthday, it took me about 3-4 months to put it all together. We play a lot of board games, and Ticket to Ride is one of her favorites, and she loves New Vegas. The gallery captions have some more information on the game itself, but I also wanted to share how I presented it on her birthday. I managed to keep it completely hidden from her this time, usually she manages to stumble onto a few things accidentally while I'm working on her presents, but this time, the morning of her birthday, she had no clue what she was getting into. I set up an elaborate sort of puzzle/scavenger hunt/escape room thing that took her about 4 hours to get through, we ended up driving all over town while she looked for small locked boxes I hid the night before, which had written clues, some were little cassette tapes, and she found a little tape recorder in another box to play them in. Some included coordinates for her to put into Google Maps so she knew the next approximate location, some were little cryptograms, or padlocks that she had to put several numbers together she had picked up throughout the day, and I even put a whole playlist of songs together that we listened to as we were driving around, songs that might give her subtle hints as to what the theme of the present was at least, but nothing directly from any of the Fallout games, I didn't want it to be too obvious. The best part of it I think was I put together 5 little videos, nothing major, I threw them together in a few days, mostly just static images and audio, but they really set the tone and gradually pushed her in the right direction. They were hidden in different ways, one was on a usb stick, I brought one of our laptops with us so she could watch it in the car. I even hid my old broken phone in one of the boxes, and it had nothing on it except for this one video file, one was a QR code to a youtube link, etc. I'm including links to the videos below, I had to edit these slightly to remove some of the clues, because there were coordinates to specific locations in a few of them, including to our house, but I love the progression, it starts off with just light oldies radio, and then goes into Roy Orbison's Crying, during which I was imagining a nuclear attack happening, and it gets really David Lynch for a few minutes, then nuclear sirens start to gradually swell and drown out the music, then into straight propaganda. Video 3 This one is my favorite. Because up to this point, she still has no clue what is going on. The beginning of the video starts to hint it may be Fallout related, but the way I arranged the clues, there were enough other things going on throughout the day that she couldn't be sure, but then at about 1:25 in this video, she had to know where it was headed. Video 4 This one is mostly just actual nuclear propaganda films, with some test audio I found referring specifically to a disaster in Las Vegas. Also, really hammering that basement point. This was the last video before she went to our basement to open the last lock. Video 5 There weren't any more hints at this point, I hid the game in a mini-fridge we have in our game room (it was unplugged at the time) and wrapped some big heavy chains around it with a padlock she had just found the key for. She had the chains off, then removed a blanket to find another tablet underneath with this last video, she had to watch that first. This is basically just a reveal trailer for the game, using parts of the actual New Vegas trailers. While she watched the videos, I was hovering over the fridge, which was glowing green, I put a bunch of glowsticks inside it so it would look radioactive when she opened it. As soon as Mr. New Vegas stops talking and Ain't that a Kick in the Head comes on, I threw open the door while the title flashed on the screen, and she screamed "WHAAAT????" It was perfect. Anyway, sorry for the long description here. I initially didn't plan on sharing any pictures of this one, because I feel like it kind of cheapens the gift to go and harvest internet points for it, I felt weird about it the first time I did it too, but we just finished playing a game of it a few hours ago and she wanted me to finally post it. Also, I'm kind of trying to break into board game design, and I guess it doesn't hurt to have galleries of everything I've done so far. And lastly, just because I got a lot of questions the last time I made a game for her, I'm typically pretty generous with games that I make, I've put out some for free, or at the very least helped other people with making their own copies. But with anything I make as a gift for my wife, it's just for her, I want it to be one of a kind, and it wouldn't be special anymore if I just uploaded the files for everyone to use, so I'm sorry if that seems selfish, but I can't share it.
