✅ Implemented power drain
✅ Much improved texture for #Jupiter
Btw, see how the hat of the #pizza chef doesn't cast a shadow? Because it ain't real! Just an #AR illusion, which you can toggle with <TAB> :)
My Fallout 3 character is now out of the vault, which means I was able to take some screenshots! And now Kimberly has a playthrough page up.
As noted before, while my site IS primarily an Elder Scrolls playthrough blog (the name of the site IS after all Anna Plays Skyrim), Fallout is going to get its own section just because hey, Bethesda game.
Interested parties can follow Kimberly's playthrough here:
Ich habe jetzt die Serie #Fallout erst mal durchgesehen.
Ich muss sagen, sie lässt mich verstört zurück.
Ich kenne nicht alle Spielteile, von daher ziehe ich da keine Vergleiche oder ähnliches.
Was ich großartig finde, ist die Verflechtung von Konzernen und deren Firmenpolitik in der Serie und was das mit einer Welt machen kann. Und auch massiv verstörend, was damit transportiert wird.
Ich will keine Noten für die Serie verteilen, dazu ist der Inhalt schon massiv Angsteinflößend, wenn man sich nur darauf stützt.
Gut gemachte Serei, tolle Bilder und Landschaften und eien Dystropie sonders gleichen
Back online with the @lairofsecrets crew, playing our session zero of #FalloutRPG. I'm playing Steve NuGunnar, a Vault-Tec Security Veteran from Vault 91.
He was sent to the surface to field test the NuRay 3000 (tm) laser pistol .. and promptly lost it when waylaid by the ghoul Thriftway and his Free Traders. #Fallout#TTRPG
I find myself selling several great legendary drops because they would make the game too easy or simply look stupid. A plasma thrower that freezes people? Nah. Too dumb, off to the trader you go.
I wanted to like #Starfield , and I played it quite a bit. But ultimately, I found it lacking to, say, #Fallout 4 or #Skyrim . Here are some things I thought it fell short:
There isn't enough variety in enemy types. Mostly you just fight fellow humans with a variety of guns. The Starborn are a bit more interesting, but they also show up extremely rarely (apart from the Temple Guardians, and those are pushovers). Sometimes there are robots, which help a bit. And the alien creatures have some truly interesting varieties - but they are almost never inside the "dungeons" (i.e. facilities) themselves, and instead are an easily-avoidable obstacle on the overland map.
Outside of the handcrafted major settlement, the procedurally-placed facility placement is just... weird. Basically, the setting feels like the ultimate culmination of the American sprawl - everyone wants to put up shop as far away from anyone else as possible. Only instead of everyone having cars, everyone has spaceships. You never get the feeling that anyone interacts with their neighbors, or clusters together for companionship and mutual aid.
Also, because of this procedural placement, there is no reason to revisit the same region other than the handcrafted settlement twice. With Skyrim and Fallout 4, I developed a real sense of place as I gradually explored the map and discovered new nooks and crannies. But with Starfield, everything felt... disconnected.
The Alien Temples. God, those are boring - what was Bethesda thinking? The Dragon Walls in Skyrim fulfilled pretty much the same purpose, but they were always placed in interesting locations.
Could Starfield become a more interesting game with enough expansions and mods? Probably. But I'm not sure it will be able to reach the same heights as Skyrim and Fallout 4 did.
Would be fun to know how many people outside of the US even knew the Minutemen was a historical group. I never learned about them. I knew about them only because of being married to an American woman.
Okay... I love the Railroad, I am one of the few who always side with them, but i think they are taking the term "dead drop" too literally when they put one in the middle of a supermutant village.
Bueno, pues hemos visto la primera temporada de #Fallout.
Divertida de cojones, con mucho tiroteo de VATS, fallos por RNG y agotar a destiempo los puntos del VATS y cagadas monumentales de pruebas de conversación y éxitos en ciencia sacando contraseñas de ordenadores. Los NPCs dan secundarias chulas, pero debemos decir que la #serie no es fiel a los #videojuegos en tres aspectos principales:
No hay bugs
No tentó dejarla a medias
El final nos gustó y dejó con ganas de más
Para gustos culos.
Me at the start of my Kickstarter, vs Me at the end of my Kickstarter.
Well that was a ride. I didn't anticipate being hospitalised halfway through my campaign, but we're funded and I'll have my first book available through Ingram Spark for everyone in June/July.
