Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn has a really interesting take on it. Allomancy and Ferruchemy are both heritable, and powers have explicitly gotten weaker over generations as the talents are diluted over time. Allomancy is confirmed to be divine in origin, being sourced from the essence of one of that ...

Yeah sure I'm fighting Legate Lanius but who knows when a really tough fight will come along, better save my consumables. In my first playthrough, I sneak-attack headshot Lanius with an anti-material rifle and the game ended. It wasn't until I read a walkthrough that I realized I was supposed to ta...

I never knew that playing primarily with explosives was even a viable option. Never seem to get enough explosives ammo to make it sustainable. The main difficulties I had with an explosives build were (1) ammo weight in hardcore mode, (2) there's no 'grenade' button in the base game, and (3) I'm a ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6B_wTtif-s Poor Chuck - trying to keep the peace between fanboys who are inevitably going to go bonkers for not saying their favorite FO is the best FO. I'm on the FNV side of the divide, but also think my side has a larger (or, at least, louder) collection of jerks....

I can think of twological reasons why the East coast would end up so much worse than the West: (1) more bombs were dropped there in order to target the government/military infrastructure, and (2) it's much more densely populated than the rest of the country, so even amongst the survivors, the raider...

Remember super mutants? Yeah we've got them. Remember the Enclave? Yep they're in DC too. Brotherhood of steel? Those guys living out of a military base in California? They're EVERYWHERE. Heck we even got people from the NCR here. I can buy the supermutants (they are fairly different if I recall, a...

Watching this video, I realized that this was probably around 6 hours of gameplay condensed to one - meaning it probably took around 30-40 hours of editing. And there's still a long way left to go depending on how he handles side quests and exploration. And there are two other big open-world RPGs in...

Bethesda is under new management now. Hopefully we'll finally get some innovation. Fallout 76 was very much a kick up the ass for their reputation but I also think that Obsidian's Outer Worlds also hurt. You don't hear much about it any more but it was far more acclaimed than 76 ever was. Bethesda ...

If we ever get a New Vegas Remastered edition, I hope they restore the cut content instead of just increasing the resolution - starting with The Strip before they had to cut it down due to memory issues with both Gamebryo and the PS3. There are enough texture mods out there that get the game to look...

I never realized how much FNV content is still being made ten years later. Case in point: the story of Useless Steve, The Worst Courier (all stats set to 1 via console commands). In this episode, Steve introduces an unexpected guest to Goodsprings.
