I was there, three thousand years ago, then the strength of Bethesda/Obsidian failed.

[–] CorrodedCranium@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 8 months ago

I think my next challenge run should be beating the PS3 without reloading. If the game crashes or I clip into a rock I need to start over.

I only played as a woman character, with black widow perk, so I could have sex with Benny and kill him.

As someone who has never played any of the FO games (but has seen... 4[?] played through), I'm just imagining playing as a spider-lady that can eat people and I refuse to believe otherwise.

What's really going to blow your mind is that lore-wise, there are no spiders in the Fallout universe.

As someone with arachnophobia, this makes me happy

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Wait really? Where did that come up?

[–] mihnt@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

I think it is more of a 'it never comes up and there's no evidence that supports their existence'. At least as far as them being affected by the radiation like other creatures did. There's also no normal evidence like cobwebs and such that would signify that they are still around, just normal like they were before. (Except for it seems in one of the DLCs [Brotherhood of Steel] there are cobwebs, but I think that may have been an oversight?)

Now replay it with the one and only:

Tale of two Wastelands

New vegas has a memory leak, is a mess without it.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 9 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Idk that I'd call it a mess, but yeah not sure what the flex is here.

First download for any Fallout or TES game should be the unofficial patches.

It allows the program to use more than 4GB of RAM, as most modern systems tend to have. Without it, it might not even run on windows 7 and above. You may also need a fix for infinite loading if you run the game on an SSD.

What could possibly be causing that? I realize that Bethesda is widely renowned for its prowess in pushing the limits and creating never-before-seen categories of bug that were previously thought impossible, but having a glitch be caused by the storage device the game is installed on being too fast seems like a stretch even for them

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I honestly have no idea; but I've gotten the bug with all 3 major 3D Fallout games (3, NV and 4; 76 was fine, at least in this one regard). Yet Skyrim and Oblivion have no problem with being on an SSD.

Bethesda has talent. Just a lot of it seems to be in finding new ways of being shit.

Makes the Fallout Executable aware of memory above the 4GB RAM limitation of 32-bit systems, which helps with the RAM-leaking bucket 'o holes Bethesda engines are

Xbox one and thinkpad x240 for me

[–] ReeferPirate@lemy.lol 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I've only played it through once, full vanilla on steam deck. It was pretty good

[–] Titou@feddit.de 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I should buy a steam deck too, one day i will

[–] t0fr@lemmy.ca 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What's the infinite money glitch?

I had plenty of money, but having a character with maxed out luck sure makes black jack easy

[–] Piemanding@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It was some menu glitch where you can sell a vendor's wares back to them.

[–] t0fr@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 months ago

Oh shit lol. Would have been easier than playing so much black jack

[–] Hootz@lemmy.ca 6 points 8 months ago

I've gone through a bunch of times over the years, I don't think I've ever used a mod or downloaded any third party patches.

I've cheated plenty though, but I also like doing hardcore playthroughs with minimal gear so it balances out.
