[@loka7783]

Maybe it is just me but I'd like to think the Deathclaw in Fallout 4 that doesn't attack you when you return its egg is a descendant of the intelligent Deathclaws.

[@CatAndOrHatMan]

That'd be a cool questline story meming jurassic park, some rich ambitious wastelander wants to make a zoo of all the mutated creatures and comes across the 2 remaining intelligent deathclaws...obviously the one creature he couldn't reliably have captured on his behalf...so he negotiates with them to be part of his attraction, it is assumed they cannot breed but due to FEV they do. The park starts mistreating their offspring for the sake of profit, so the deathclaws go nuts and rip through the place and take off. In fallout style you could piece this together with recordings and terminal entries it'd be so dope!!

[@randomintrovertedspider7510]

@@TobyW360 The "Nuka World on Tour" events are actually fun though, and give a good amount of experience. Much like the Jamboree and Eviction Notice events we got a while ago. What Beth really needs to do is to go back and rehaul some of the older events, so they are actually fun and give out rewards that actually make them worth doing. Some events rarely, if ever, see anyone doing them because they are just so friggin' boring and the rewards are pointless. Not all the older events are like that though, Feed the People for example is a lot of fun, and gives a decent reward in the form of Canned Stew. Tea Time is pretty fun as well.

LMAO. The story of A sentient Deathclaw race could have sooo many branching themes if PROPERLY woven 😮‍💨 I can understand the artistic decision to keep the deathclaw as a DEATHclaw though. And i’d even argue the mysticism behind them nowadays considering it can be argued as canon only adds to the story itself. Either way, they struck gold with it.

I think the devs were wrong about the deathclaws. It's like saying that smarter super mutants aren't terrifying. By adding the element of having the potential of members of a species be able to communicate with you and act in a friendly or hostile manner makes them all the more terrifying. Also I really want the talking raccoons.

I think it makes them not so much frightening as interesting. The thing with death claws is they’re just territorial: they’ll attack if you get too near their nest (just like many animals irl) but they don’t go about terrorizing communities for its own sake. They don’t even really hunt humans. E.g. in FO:NV, they’re a serious problem for the miners who want to encroach on their territory, but they’re apparently fine to ignore nearby settlements like Goodsprings. In that way, they’re totally different than super mutants or even human raiders. And the intelligent ones in FO2 are the same, they’re just more capable of warning you off verbally. In a weird way, death claws are among the _least_ aggressive creatures in the series: despite being arguably *the* apex predator of the setting, they’re likely to leave you alone if you just steer clear of their nest.

[@aidencatalano9688]

Maybe the ghosts Hamlin is referring to is an enclave holdout.

That sounds reasonable. America is a pretty large continent so I have no doubts that there are still some Enclave holdouts and strongholds where they've retreated, licking their wounds and preparing for the NCR and The BoS, either to erase them all or come back with much different approach.. But that, is still a mystery, to hopefully be answered someday..

[@kotzpenner]

Yes, that’s the most plausible theory. Enclave is known to be secret and elusive, while also being high on the NCR kill list.

Enclave or Brotherhood, both groups would be considered dangerous enough to divert forces. Imagine a BOS group sitting on a bunker of nukes. That would keep the California republic up at night.

I think it’s so much better that Ulysses is tied to the DLC. It’s called Lonesome Road, but you’re chasing a fellow courier, who used to be a companion in the dev cycle. Him having the most dialogue would make many people choose him over any of the other companions. Some people might never recruit him or leave him be and therefore never even know about Ulysses, but by doing the DLC, you are forced to learn about him. Although, I do wish we had a companion sympathetic to the Legion in the base game. And a Powder Gangers companion. And a Fiend, Kahn, Viper, etc. every faction should have had proper representation. I like Boone, but I hate the NCR, because if the quest doesn’t require red tape, it’s an officer being corrupt. Why can’t I get a Boone that supports the Kahns, or even one that wants to turn the Powder Gangers into a proper community? Instead he is just hard as hell for the NCR, and besides him and Veronica, nobody has any stakes in anything you do. Kind of sad that this game, while still being 10/10 amazing, had the potential to be like 12/10, but was held back by problems.

[@ajflink]

Here is an interesting fact: If you are playing the PS4 version of Fallout 4 on PS5 with a PS5 controller, you will during daytime and certain interiors have a patch like visual artifacting at the top corner of the screen usually the top left. At random, unless playing with a PS4 controller on PS5, you will be prevented from backing up indoors at certain locations even with no companion or any objects to trigger something like this. Despite a vast number of PS4 games having the experience improved when played on a PS5, the load times are only somewhat shorter than on PS4 (I do not know if the PS4 Pro is better), the framerate is still capped at 30 fps and there is still a weird delay when swapping to weapons from the DLCs. On PS5, sometimes for unknown reasons HUD elements hide temporarily. Ironically, crashes on PS5 seem less frequently than on the PS4.

A note on cow tipping. It is real and you don't tip a cow by pushing it over. What you do is (and typically you need to do it with cows that are comfortable with you) you gently push on the standing cow and naturally the cow will lean back on you, just like a dog standing in front of you getting a back scratch. As the cow leans you push slightly harder gradually getting them to lean back harder and then you let go and the cow falls over. there you go, now you know the truth of cow tipping and how to do it. 3:15 (P.S. if you don't get out of the way the cow will fall on you so be careful.)

On horses: horses are notorious for needing just *right* kind of care so they don't develop serious health problems. Imagine being horse-owner just after the nukes fell: you need to keep huge amounts of the right kinds of grain and clear water when nuclear winter might soon hit you (horses can drink over 25 litres of water per day) and you better have huge reserves of anti-parasite meds. And those concerns are only materials you will need, putting aside radiation, properly grooming them and not letting horses do dumb shit like eating right after serious exercise. I can easily imagine horses dying out from a combination of lack of proper care and people killing them off for meat.

Bit late to comment here about this, but I always interpreted ranger hanlon's whole explanation being about the NCR not being as widespread or strong as it tries to appear to be. I believe he's the person who tells the story about travelling down south to a small town to get an update on another ranger team, only to find pretty much everyone massacred with a heavily fortified position in the town. IIRC the ones who then attack are... the town citizens? Or just some people who want to get to the well in the town? The takeaway I took from the story, though, is that the NCR is too busy fighting on many fronts against many threats and they're stretched too thin. I think the situation south of the border(of the US) and in Baja is most likely a situation of there being other factions that threaten the NCR that we don't know about it. Raul also talks about his time in Mexico (or New Mexico?) and the gangs that exist there, so there's definitely life down far north way farther than we've seen as of yet.

I don't mind talking animals, mutation in fantasy isn't supposed to be normal.

All I’m going to say is the Eldrich Entity theory has a decent amount of merit to it.
