      i've triggered a toilet trap by accident while trying to grab something else, but i've never "Fallen" for it genuinely
      the carriage booby trap ALMOST got me the first time, but something felt odd and at the last second i remembered the story about WWII japanese "baby grenade" traps and reeled backwards just in time. i've gotten taken in by them repeatedly since though, just cause i'm being fast and reckless.

    I REALLY wish that game had been included in Fallout 4. It seems simple enough to be worked in as a bizarrely meta RPG for the Pip-boy, even if it would have been a GIGANTIC pain for them to implement. But just imagine all the jokes we could have made, though!

      What about Grognak & the Ruby Ruins? I would think a CRPG inspired by games such as The Bard's Tale and Ultima, would be an upgrade.
      Although I definitely understand the entertaining simplicity of a text adventure.

    Weird, this version of Hubris seems like a far cry from the version we're presented with in FO4. This company seems almost respectable, while it felt like Bethesda was just aching to lampoon Hubris in 4. Chalk that up to another retcon of the lore, I suppose.

    • @MediumRareOpinions
      @MediumRareOpinions Před 2 lety +8

      I seem to recall some of the writers on Fallout 4really did consider adherence to lore to be unnecessary and favoured gamification over strict world building.
      A strong example is how guns went from being individually named in the lore with little backstories about their production and use, to being generic modular weapons which are perhaps better for gameplay with their modularity but severely dropped the ball on lore.
      The DKS sniper rifle? Just vanished because hey, that hunting rifle upgrade is basically a sniper right? No need for two guns...and so on.

      @@MediumRareOpinions Yea, I really hate 4s art style. It doesn’t even feel like FO4 takes place in the same world as 1, 2, 3, and NV. I mean, what happened to the gothic Art Deco style? They leaned way too hard into the jetsons. Plus the bastardization of the N-99 handgun is unforgivable, they butchered my boy. Plus like, why does the “combat rifle” even exist? The R-99 could have been just as modular. I mean, look at what the R-99 is based off of, the HK-55/G3 line of rifles, which are just as modular as the “combat rifle”

    • @MediumRareOpinions
      @MediumRareOpinions Před 2 lety +1

      @@stuglife5514 for the combat Rifle it really does seem like a corner cutting exercise.
      The combat Rifle is a kit bash off other weapon meshes.
      The receiver is the combat shotgun, and it's magazine comes from the hunting Rifle, which is why it doesn't fit properly and the bolt is too short to cycle 308. bullets the magazine is designed to hold.
      All the more curious? The assault Rifle from Fallout 3 appears in Fallout 4 in one place...a sign above a merchant stall in Diamond City's marketplace.

    The only time I ever drink out of toilets is when I am playing a modded play-through with hardcore survival mode physics. Even then it's in the ultra-rare situation that I am losing health, don't have anything else to drink, and am still stocked up on radaway. For example, That Feral Goul Reaper @ 19:50 would kill you in two hits on survivor mods. Maybe 4 if you had some top-tier armor.

    • @gourdguru
      @gourdguru Před 11 měsíci

      exactly.
      even without direct confirmation, the clearly comic text bubble style dialogue, use of the Hubris intellectual property, similar origin, and the prevalence of surviving Grognak comics in the wasteland, it's almost 100% probable that the modern AntAgonizer suffered the same origin, found a copy of that issue of grognak the barbarian and identified with the character, and adopted the persona as her own in an attempt to redefine her completely destroyed life, traumatized psyche and helplessness by taking on an alternate, more stalwart persona.
      no longer a victim of ants, but a ruler of them.
      no longer helpless, but in control.
      no longer weak and scared, but courageous and scary.
