They Wont Let Me In Most Buildings Due To My Witchlike Appearance

Every single time someone mentions police role-playing in a sexual context I think of this tinder interaction and I instantly become absolutely stricken with laughter

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.

full offense if someone nuked my nice little settlement i’d literally make it my mission to destroy their life

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

Raven from the game Fallout: New Vegas (2010)

FNV takes place in Nevada, meaning they are the Common raven (C. corax). I think they're really funny looking :)

Our culture is decaying. Because we don’t value Steve Urkel.

removing your masked character's mask is a mistake aesthetically ideologically and sexually speaking but i won't deny that catching a glimpse of a little skin in the spaces beneath the eye holes or the gap where the mask meets the face gets me a bit hot under the collar

kind of embarrassing to play a game that your friend recommended it’s like. ohh i’m pregnant with your game. i’m playing and it’s yours
