So i either just got crazy lucky or theres a high chance of a gunless person picking up a good gun the first time there in the wastes. I need to redo a couple floors in my vault but i need to destroy dorms to do it but had to many dwellers to destroy a dorm so sent 12 people out into the wastes to die....for science....just logged back in to check on these people, who were all in ther 20-40s level wise due to working jobs on my upper levels most of the game but never finding there way to stat increasing rooms. 2 hours into the wastes ( all were sent out naked and stimpacksless, non are dead and some are carrying insane weapons.....
Rusty alien blaster ( never seen one)
Hardened railway rifle
Expert lab coat (7int)
Hardened gauss rifle
Fat man (never seen one)
Gatling laser ( only secodn i have seen)
Miss Launcher (legit legendary)
Lincolns repeater (legendary)
Enhanced missile launcher
So thats 8 crazy good weapons and a 7 int lab coat in a couple hours of wandering, from plebs who have maybe 1 stat boosted (not luck on any of them) and mid lvls, the odds are to high to be a coincidence i think.
No rules or morals except those you choose to accept and live by.

Fallout Universe with the Guild 2's mechanics. Choose your character as bandit, vault scientist, merchant, or food person. Eliminate dynasties, get pets (including deathclaws), research old world tech and outfit your clan with power armor. Set off from home and build your own republic, return and conquer old republic......
I think I've left the Guild 2 and entered Crusader King 2.

Just had to respond because I see The Guild 2 so rarely mentioned ever, and I think it's such a unique and under-appreciated game. Admittedly it's quite rough around the edges, but it holds a special place for me.
I do wonder if we'll see more (good) Fallout-themed spinoffs if F4 is as popular as expected. I would personally love to see something like Fallout Shelter in a full 3D engine... a combo base building / management / defense game. I know we're getting settlements in F4, but I mean actual VAULTS!

I've had two level 50 high-luck guys out for about 24 hours now, and I don't have any gear approaching that level of quality! Is there a thing with sending out lots of people or something?
I feel the author jumped up their own ass at certain parts, but it makes for an interesting read.
Thats actually a fairly nicely written article, obviously clickbait and as you said, the author definitely loses his way with some of the reaching in there, but still a good read overall.
I really couldn't be bothered to read that, you have stats, you play a role, there's a tonne of dialogue options in which you can express your role (more so than skyrim), it's an rpg
I consider roleplaying game (in the context of video games) to mean any game that uses mechanics from tabletop RPGs as the foundation for it's design.
And Bethesda's games clearly still have a lot of that DNA in them, even if, on a superficial level, they do a better job of keeping it under hood. You play a Fallout 3 character in the same way you would play a tabletop RPG character, after all. The main difference is that your game master in this case is the game itself, rather than a guy behind a screen rolling dice. But the fact that the GM uses pre-programmed values and scaling enemies rather than random dice roles is largely inconsequential. It's still providing the basic function of a GM, which is to present a world so that the player can interact with it.
I'm playing Fallout Shelter on my PC via an android emulator, and while it works mostly fine, a proper PC version would be neat. Especially zooming in and out can be a bit of a hassle, and it doesn't run quite clean either.
I guess the next time I'm buying a smartphone, I might have to consider getting one powerful enough to run more elaborate games like this one, as I am not completely opposed to what Fallout Shelter has to offer.
Did they fix the thing in new Vegas where killing fiends, ghouls, and powder gangers netted you a ton of positive karma
It's still there, but as I discovered in my recent playthrough, allowing companions to deliver the killing blow has no effect on karma.
This makes it a lot easier to maintain neutral or evil karma if you allow companions to do a lot of your fighting for you.
its very easy to be a pacifist when you surround yourself with murderers.
I remember one game of Fallout 2 with my CH 10 character. She had 7 companions (5 from CH, plus the shotgun wedding, plus Dogmeat) and (after the Temple of Trials) didn't raise a finger in combat, because her horde of minions would take care of it for her. That is, until near the endgame when she got bored, grabbed a new Tag skill with her perk, and instantly became the most dangerous woman alive with a plasma rifle.
Those were different days... as you could, actually, finish the game without actually killing anyone except Horrigan, and it was fully possible to rig some turrets to attack him and convince a squad of Enclave troopers to finish him off.
My vault dweller has reached 50, she started out in the field with a rusty combat shotty, upgraded to an enhanced, upgraded that to a railway rifle. Now she's returning to take over the vault, so send her back out there? I think its my only good option.
NO HOME FOR DWELLERS!!
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
Does anyone else favor Energy Weapons in their playthroughs? Because it's hard for me to go back to guns after melting a super mutant from a mile away.
I've gotten a couple legendary Guns, a couple legendary outfits, and fuckin' nothin for dwellers. I'm pretty sure the dwellers are the most useful, too.

I mean it's less of a concern now that I almost have my fully upgraded 3x8 SPECIAL training suite going. The next two or three weeks is basically going to be me stopping all population growth and training everyone up to not terrible stats.
But having even a couple of people with good special stats sure would have made the early game less of a headache.

Seriously, how can he look like that and not have 10 charisma? Dude is stylish as fuck!
He should be tending bar, not tending inventory. Storerooms are for your Horror Movie fans.

Attack overseer with mother, flee to shack to avoid guards. Slip daughter super sledge, send her out the front door past guards looking for mother.
Daughter brutally murders overseer and takes position, All Hail the Overseer.
That was literally the last game I played to a satisfactory ending, took 3 generations.

If so oh man
Shooting the brotherhood to the last man then blowing up the bunker may have shoved me way into negative karma and I'm not sure if I can get back out
I've never had negative karma before
What if
What off all this time I've just been an asshole and never noticed
Edit: okay I'm getting the karma boost to process occasionally on some of the ghouls north of bitter springs. Weird how inconsistent it is.
Also Jesus Christ, four super mutant masters, two with miniguns, one with a missile launcher. Now I remember why I haven't been up here lately.

Unfortunately, I find the EVE models and sounds to be terrible but EVE has so many pretty additions
*swoon*
My latest New Vegas run was energy weapons.
I grabbed the perk that makes them blow up randomly upon death, not realising how many I'd end up killing at close blank range.
I lost so many limbs...
Do you get a lot of raider attacks

I have gotten literally zero legendary characters in this vault
This is after buying the 40 lunchbox deal and burning through 25 of them in addition to the dozen or so I've gotten from objectives
But you know what? When I send 6 different dwellers with 10 luck and 8+ all other stats out into the wastes tomorrow to pillage I'll know I earned it.
So take THAT, game.
