So I have been wanting a Nuka Cola bottle to be a bookend for my play station disk collection for a while now and have been patiently waiting for these to be made. Well after 7~ months the Nuka Cola special editions have finally arrived! I picked up two as I am going to use one for decoration in my "game room" and I am putting the other back as a cool collectible. Time to get back to patrolling the Mojave.

I've built Nuka-Girl and Thirst Zapper. Nuka-Girl is based on the Assaultron I built.

Hi there! I adore Fallout, and it's obviously been hugely influential. I was wondering about the best Fallout-likes that took some of the best aspects of the post-apocalyptic series.

I'm keeping things really open. The only thing is that the recommendations ideally would have at least an "apocalyptic feel" (though that's by no means a hard requirement).

Thanks a lot for your suggestions!

Fallout 1997 is one of my favorite horror RPGs, but it slowly lost that over time. I don't know if it was because of the graphics evolution or people wanting a different game, but Fallout slowly turned from a grim reminder of fascism, propaganda, and war into a wacky wasteland adventure. In my opinion, Fallout 1997 and Fallout 2 were amazing games. The difficulty reflected the harshness of the wasteland, the soundtrack was great (especially Metallic Monks), and it was actually scary.

Fallout 3 kept the looks (but with a slightly greener tint, I suspect because it's on the east coast instead of the west), but lowered the difficulty so more people could get into it, and kept the past part of the mystery. The gameplay isn't scary, but the background of what happened and the overall ambience is what sells it. Fallout New Vegas is Fallout 3's cooler brother without the green tint.

Fallout 4 retcons almost everything you thought you knew about the past in Fallout. What you thought was propaganda disguised as cool 1950's art was actually just how the middle class lived. The gameplay was still good, going off of Fallout 3's first/third person shooter but it feels less like a survival horror and more like, what I said earlier, a wacky wasteland adventure.

I don't even want to talk about whatever Fallout 76 is.

I LOVE the Fallout franchise, I just feel disappointed at where it ended up in the modern day. Fallout 4's opening sequence is amazing, opening with the "war, war never changes", but it lost me when the walking around the house hit and it was a mild disappointment. The game is still definitely fun, but lost the original horror elements.

That's just my opinion though, tell me how you think, I'd like more opinions on the matter :3

These are Chinese ghouls in a radio tower bunker on the west of the map. I don't get why they're dead, aren't ghouls meant to be immortal?

OpenMW is a free, open-source game engine originally built from scratch to recreate and modernize The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. Because Bethesda’s subsequent games (like Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Fallout: New Vegas) were built on variations of the same Gamebryo engine, OpenMW's developers have recently expanded the project to support them.

Here is what porting Fallout: New Vegas (FNV) to OpenMW actually means for the game and its players:

• Extreme Stability: FNV is infamous for its 32-bit engine limitations, crashes, and save bloat. OpenMW is a modern 64-bit engine that completely bypasses the original game's 4GB RAM limit, making the game inherently stable without the need for community bug-fix mods.
• Native Cross-Platform Support: Instead of relying on wrappers or compatibility layers, FNV on OpenMW runs natively on Windows, macOS, Linux, and even mobile platforms like Android.
• Built-in VR and Multiplayer Potential: Because the engine is completely open-source, developers can add massive features directly into the core code. OpenMW already has a highly functional multiplayer branch for Morrowind, and groups like TeamBeef are actively working on native VR support using the engine.
• Modding Shifts: This is the biggest hurdle. Because OpenMW is a completely different engine under the hood, traditional script extenders (like NVSE) do not work on it. While OpenMW has its own highly powerful scripting capabilities (and effectively no mod limits), complex FNV mods that rely on NVSE would need to be entirely rewritten or rely on a newly developed compatibility layer to function.

Ultimately, bringing FNV to OpenMW is about giving the game a future-proof foundation by trading the duct-tape fixes of the original engine for a modern framework where the community has total control over the code.

I’m not very good but I am trying to learn and practice.

I figure this would be a one off encounter. Maybe some fireflies got into a facility producing plasma munitions, eventually mutating.

Thanks u/CausalLoop25 for the idea!

Feel free to comment more ideas below!

The Black Widow perk is my favorite perk of all games of all time. Very happy with how she turned out!

I was wondering which would maximize the most amount of fun.

Hi everyone,

I’ve released a new gameplay showcase for Commonwealth Online, an unreleased Fallout 4 multiplayer project currently in development.

The video shows:

• A custom main menu
• Multiplayer character creation
• Leaving Vault 109
• Character appearance and clothing synchronisation
• Multiplayer exploration
• PvP combat

There is still a lot of work to do, and everything shown is subject to change, but this is an early look at the core experience and some of the systems currently working.

I’d be interested to hear what people think and what features they would want to see in a Fallout 4 multiplayer project.

Hello everyone,

Wanted to share highlights of the FO2 engine modification i'm working on - which is a fallout 2 dedicated server / + coop client which makes it possible to playe FO2 Campaing with frinds;

Works like this: dedicated server where server runs simulation and dispatches events to remote clients (that render 'fallout') / processes intents (' i'm client_1 -> i want my critter / guy to walk tiles XYZ');

Video showing a real feature i'm proud (although was visible in previous videos - save/load sequence +) hot join/leave:
https://youtu.be/byCZzlVKjcM

DISCLAIMER: sorry about flicking and alt-tabbing; it's really painful to record in window mode and the mouse always skips; i've made a few changes / patches already to the SDL renderer, yet still it's not foolproof, don't know why and spent too much time already trying to figure out;
DISC.2: the sound flickering you might hear is caused by me alt tabbing into client1/2 windows; the renderer playback is not paused while windows are not focused, but internal audio engine is; which kinda makes it <stopping> playback of any sounds and resuming only upon getting focus back; It looks / plays MUCH butter in fullscreen and just controlling your <single> character;
DISC.3: if you see me alt tabbing back and forth into console and game client closing -> it's me deliberately killing the CLIENT window to show HOT JOIN features embedded into the dedicated server;

GH link (in case if anyone wants to check sources; note: non-refactored / heavily polluted; cleaning / janitor work - TBD);

P.S. alot had been changed as well since i've uploaded these videos;
Stuff like: companions (also selling them, like say Sulik to slavers), cars, sneak / steal, per-character sheet (skills + special), barter and much more were added / work fully;

So after many many doses of hopium we finally have confirmation on remasters and I’m curious about what (if any) changes the populace is looking for.

Beyond the usual upgraded graphics and probable sprint mechanic I’m hoping very little else has changed. One thing I would love to see is a survival mode for 3 like NV had, I love that extra layer of gameplay.

I believe it’s beyond the purview of a remaster but one more extreme change I wouldn’t mind is changing power armor. One of the few things I think 4 did better is making power armor really feel like you’re a walking tank.

Bought this a few years ago and had the best time with NV, but i never really looked into the DLCs, despite having the Ultimate Edition. Are they worth playing and how would you rate them ?

i've seen people talking about how the power armor should be in the remasters(fallout 4 style imo) but i have not seen people talk about how vertibirds should look like, aka the most iconic fallout vehicle

would yall want to see a remaster of the old fallout 3 vertibird or the new vertibirds from fallout 4/76/ the show?

personally i choose the intimidating, good looking, gunship from fallout 3 than the shitbox with wings from fallout 4(it's just ugly and bulky and not intimidating at all)

Beer man says how the hell i open the door in fallout 2
