Urban Planning for Beginners

  All responses were received on the 29th of September 2022 No. Which of the four ending routes did you pick on your first play through of Fallout: New Vegas? Which of the four ending routes for Fallout: New Vegas do you consider the 'best'? Why do you consider your chosen faction to be best?  If it is different from your faction of choice on your first play-through, why? Do you think the other three choices have any particular merit? If so, what do you like about them? Are there any minor factions you think are particularly moral/aspirational? (i.e. The Kings) If so, why? Are there any individuals you consider to be particularly moral/aspirational? (i.e. Marcus, Doc Mitchell) If so, why? 1 The NCR Wild Card/Yes Man i felt they had the most compelling points. Also, how could you say no to that goofy robot's lil face. Well I just wanted to experience another route honestly.First route I went with a "vanilla" playthrough. I mean yeah, all the endings of New Vegas ha...

 This interview was done with u/timcain on reddit on the 29th of September 2022, who, based on the official AMAs done by obsidian entertainment, which the account u/timcain participated in, is the real Tim Cain, the creator of the Fallout Series and producer of the first game.  https://twitter.com/Obsidian/status/796387386666061824 https://twitter.com/Obsidian/status/257891280661663745 The following exchanges have been edited slightly, simply for the sake of formatting, as originally all of the questions were asked in one message from me and answered in one message from Cain, making them rather difficult to parse, other than that, and the occasional clearly delineated comment, no changes have been made. Me:  Hello, I've been writing a paper about the philosophy of the Fallout games for school and I was wondering if you'd be happy to answer some questions about the ideologies present in the series for me? Cain:  I can do that, as long as you’re only expecting me to an...

 I'll be the first to admit, there really isn't much to this one, it's mostly that they're both 'story generator' games that I've been playing recently. Like there are some definite similarities there, but I was genuinely just curious which verse was stronger. For this scenario I'm going to approach it like a full party of wildermyth legacy heroes vs a small endgame RimWorld colony, so 5-a-side, and I'm going to try and take everything possible into account, so just because one of the team members doesn't have a specific item or ability, it doesn't mean including that ability in the fight would change the verdict per se. That should be everything, not a particularly deep one today. RimWorld Be they crash landing survivors, wandering pilgrims or recently awoken ancient warriors, the colonists on the rimworlds live rough lives. Your average colony will go through a gruelling process of technological advancement that might take months, or even y...

 So, recently, cyberpunk: edgerunners came out, with an array of far more impressive feats than anything in the game itself, so I thought it would make sense to reassess my results based on this new evidence, assuming edgerunners is entirely canon. Firstly, the courier's biggest advantage in the first run-through was strength, but in edgerunners characters are able to create giant craters, and given Adam smasher curb stomps the entire cast, it's reasonable to assume that V is at least similar to their level of strength. The biggest crater I saw was in a mesa, and based on the size of the truck wheels, which I assume are like, 30 inches in diameter, it was 140cm deep and 1050m wide and also perfectly circular. Therefore that's a volume of 121,000,000cm3. From what I understand from the VS battle wiki and forum users with racial slurs in their usernames, it's safe to treat compressive strength in MPA and joules/cm3 as the same value, at least for Vs calculations. I'm ...

Online, if you were to say that Fallout: New Vegas and Cyberpunk 2077 were at all comparable, you'd be faced with some pretty substantial disagreement, but the games are surprisingly similar; on top of the obvious mechanical similarities, both are about how corporations will destroy the worlds, both can trace their lineages directly to TTRPGs, both were *incredibly* buggy at launch, both are set in the Western USA and have important world events taking place in the year 2077, etc. and so forth. Likewise, the principle characters also have a lot in common, both draw from anarchist ideologies, both can bend to the wills of the business moguls that destroyed their worlds, both survived being shot in the head, both can kit themselves out with all sorts of cybernetic enhancements, etc. etc. I know this is just a list of connections a la a reddit post but I'm just trying to convey that these aren't two random characters I'm making fight each other because I played both games....
