It’s honestly just disappointing to know that after over 50 years, they finally used this old Star Wars concept art and they just turned it into a scary monster. The original painting isn’t an action or horror scene. Luke isn’t scared. The organism is grazing calmly on fungus and doesn’t even have teeth. It’s sad that they couldn’t let a big alien “spider” just be a gentle baby. Expanded universe lore eventually held that the “spiders” were the immature stage of the *trees* on planet dagobah, which was an awesome concept.
Maidens only desire the finest of knights. Like Guinevere, they lust after gallant Lancelot even when wed to the noble and kind Arthur. It's over, nay, it never began for us few who can not hope to rival their mythic Lancelot in physique nor fair face.
Today, I approached a fine lady on the road. She was clearly of noble lineage, or so it seemed by her clothing and soft features. I shared a few words with her and offered to allow her to ride my horse. Suddenly, her face twisted, and she objected, "Sir, I am all-ready promised to another."
Another! Who must this be, another Lancelot, no doubt! Tall and handsome with noble blood.
Once again, maidens have left me despondent. There is no romance for those of us whose faces are malformed like ogres. For they are as their nature wills it: wanton harlots in the presence of Lancelot, and barren virgins in the face of us virtuous yet physically cursed men.
Hello, Video Game Youtuber. Despite being a "lore expert," you appear to have not noticed that the main character of the game you love uses they/them pronouns. You have 30 minutes to speedrun editing the correct pronouns into all your videos or I will detonate the bombs planted inside your gaming PC, killing you instantly
my fallout oc, he's an enclave deserter
space catholic “will my dog go to heaven” since droids don’t have a force signature
inspired by the last paragraph of this post lmao
Notes from JE Sawyer's stream:
Toward the end of development, every location would have a day or half a day to complete. Most of the border locations suffered from this like Searchlight Airport, and thus did not have a lot of time for Lore™
Something specific JE Sawyer wanted to add if they had time: more bug testing, postgame, more Legion content
Testing for Caravan took place during idle times like lunch. Implementation was not difficult. JE says he regrets making it not as easy to understand.
The musical cutoff point was JFK's assassination
"Arcade is not my self insert 🎵"
JE sang the Lonesome Drifter's songs because there weren't many options when they realized they should implement performances. He didn't put them on the radio because he felt it wasn't professional enough. When Bethesda used his Home on the Wastes he was surprised
He chose Goodsprings because when he visited it he liked the idea of starting somewhere small and isolated.
"I feel people responded well to Veronica and Arcade at a time when lgbtq representation was not very common"
"Arcade does not represent me in the game."
Arcade was JE's player character but so was Jean Baptiste-Cutting, and he is also not JE's self insert
He is happy that Arcade is part of the conversation about how representation happens and that as a result there is a broader spectrum of representation. He has seen the discussion about whether being "gay" is a character's entire personality
Carry weight can be a good part of playing a game, but sometimes it just feels vestigial
He feels that karma was more or less vestigial and unnecessary
JE designed cazadors
Vault experiments: were mostly recycled from their time at Black Isle
There's one JSawyer mod, other modders can use it and do what they like just be clear that their mod isn't his
The reason why the Legion has less content is because the devs designed the content on the map from the inside out
He likes the feel and aesthetic of Fallout 4's power armor, but doesn't like getting power armor early. Prefers a sense of progression in equipment depending on stage of the game
Lip sync for NPCs is procedural
Likes Zachary Levi :)
New Vegas's orange tint was found early. Pre-Fallout 4, the lighting engine was not strong, and without a tint everything washes out.
Multiple currencies was JE's idea
JE disagrees with Avellone about the setting being "too civilized" and prefers post-postapoc where people try to rebuild
6, 10, Kings, Jacks are his suggestions for Caravan
The only planned possible "romance" was getting elvis-weddinged to Cass
His rules for music: nothing past 1964, mostly country, some ratpack, more down tempo and mellow songs
John Gonzalez did the writing for Benny, and the Tops characters
THE POWDER GAMERS
Sunny Smiles was never supposed to be a companion
Ulysses' dialog was so big it wouldn't fit on the disc to be a vanilla companion
Cass was the second largest companion
"The ghosts in Baja" are an intentional mystery
Fallout Berlin. Fallout Midwest 2. Fallout New York. Fallout Quebec
Camp Forlorn Hope was a lot of work, mostly by Charles Staples
Worst workplace environment ever.
Confession: when I was younger I would often roleplay as male characters so that I could (attempt to) romance the female characters. AMA
she/her, 19. I don't really post cool shit sorry
