Technically there was a change made with Robobrains by Bethesda. In the Bethesda games, the Robobrains shoot lasers from their hands, which makes sense. But in the classic games, they use their tentacle arms to use regular shotguns, which is hilarious, and I will never forgive Bethesda for changing it.

One really annoying thing about the Super Mutants in Fallout 4 is that they weren't accompanied by centaurs anymore. There was centaur concept art for Fallout 4 but Bethesda never finalized them sadly as they worked really well with Super Mutants. The mutant hounds do not make a good substitute.

To be fair, lore-wise Centaurs are just failed FEV experiments made by The Master during his long experimentation process of learning and understanding how FEV works (by just throwing random things in FEV vats and seeing what comes out). As a result, Centaurs are only native to Super Mutant populations who were once part of the Master's army. Other FEV strains of Super Mutants not affiliated with The Master thus have different mutated animal companions, since they didn't replicate The Master's experiments. Centaurs not being in FO4 in this regard does make sense because the mutants there have no connection to The Master, and them being included would be a much bigger lore break, if anything. The real disappointment is how...generic mutant hounds are. It's just a pitbull with a bigger mouth. So many possibilities for a whole new mutant animal monstrosity, and a big-mouthed pitbull was the end result. The pitbull doesn't even have significant mutations like scaled skin, horn protrusions, a grotesque tentacle tongue, or weaponized back protrusions...it just has a bigger mouth that isn't even extremely bigger.

I think all the ghoul designs look good and fit into the universe, problem is they're separated into specific games. If they could have every variation of them within 1 game that would be awesome. The Fo4 ghouls could represent victims who became ghoulified by a lesser than average "ghoulification" dose of radiation. Meaning it didn't affect them as bad physically, relatively speaking of course. As their skin seems intact just severely scarred. Things like ears and noses have decayed away. These types would be the least likely to go feral by a large margin, only in extreme cases. Society would not view these types of ghouls with much caution or disdain at all, aside from the most fanatic of anti-mutant types. Some people might even mistake them for burn victims at a first glance Fo3/NV ghouls represent the ones that got a decently heavy dose and have significant side effects like parts of their skin falling off. Severe discoloration of the skin like bright yellow, blue, green patches all over it. Missing ears/noses/fingers/toes from decay are common. Jaw deterioration is also common. The rate of these types becoming feral is uncommon but not rare. Large amount of society would view these ones with caution, a smaller but not insignificant amount would also be hostile, but a large amount would also support them and treat them like normal people. Fo1/2 ghouls represent the ones that got extremely high doses, to the point where their entire body is severely decayed to an almost skeletal look, with bones exposed and such. It's extremely common for body parts like their jaws or entire limbs to have fallen off from decay. Essentially they were on the verge of becoming a feral ghoul when they were radiated, but managed to hold onto sanity by a hair. The likelihood of them becoming feral would also be very high as they are nearly dead already. Society would view these types with extreme disdain and hostility, the assumption that they were feral would be default The chance of becoming a glowing one would also be the highest among the Fo1/2 ghouls, basically 99.99% of the time you encounter a glowing one it looks like them, while there's are extremely small chance of encountering one that looks like the Fo3/NV design, these types could even be reserved for special non-hostile NPCs. There is ZERO chance of encountering one that looks like a Fo4 ghoul though, they simply weren't irradiated enough during the ghoulification process to become one

Fun fact: The reason ‘some’ of the Super Mutants are much skinnier in Fallout 4 than the other variations from the other games is because those Duper Mutants were experiments in incubation tubes by The Institute. There are actually more bulky Super Mutants in Fallout 4 which is meant to set them apart from the ones that were experiments released into the Commonwealth by The Institute.

The Mr. Handys of 1&2 seem to be heavy industrial versions, more arms, three engines, more plating, and you find them in use in military facilities, arms laboratories, and a nuclear power plant.

Yeah, the Robots in 4 were usually better looking, though I prefer how the 3/NV Protectrons looked. I get that the big glass dome is meant to make them look more like the robot they were based on in the first place, but I prefer the more durable-looking mostly metallic dome of the older ones. It helps to sell that they're more of an industrial model. And of course, I can see the Assaultrons becoming another fixture of the series' robots. Bethesda is just really good at designing robots for this series. I like how the classic games make power armour wearers look bigger and more imposing, which didn't translate over very well in 3/NV. Fallout 4 pretty obviously communicates that quite well by basically turning them into a Shaq-sized vehicle that you wear, almost like it was a development from tanks. However, I do feel like they communicated this a bit... Too far. Everything about the power armours in 4 is just big; it doesn't have the more fitted look of the classic armours, which helped to give them a distinctive silhouette, with the narrow waist and limbs. Of course, looking at how the wearer fits into the frame, the biomechanics are pretty shoddy too. And don't get me started on the T-60, which is not just a canonical anomaly (yada yada T-51b, but why does the armour that comes after the T-51b look like a T-45d? I guess Bethesda is just really proud of that armour design), but based on its appearance, I'd argue that it's actually more of a downgrade from the armours we already had, both functionally (bigger doesn't always mean better, in fact, it can mean worse, and this is one of those instances. Also, that front pocket in the cuirass serves no purpose, and would only serve to funnel bullets into the wearer's throat), and appearance-wise (it's literally just the T-45d but more exaggerated, like a caricature of a T-45d).

Thaank you ‼️‼️

I love the way you put it. "Cartoon villain's weapon". Older models of armor and weapons and character designs seemed to just look cartoonishly, round, cartoonishly, sharp. It gave it this mythically 1950s retro-sci-fi feeling. In the Fallout 4/76 era they kind of ran with something much different, a more grounded modern sci-fi guided by contemporary engineering theories. Also, mutants just became less and less disgusting to look at.

We actually have some redesigns of classic fallout buildings and interiors that were remodelled into fallout 76 surprisingly

Also remember how you said the fallout 4/76 version looks like its bigger than your head with the attachment? Yeah the classic handgun is massive! Like how can you wield that without a bipod

I couldn't help but notice that this was a pretty popular video for you. Just wanted to say, keep it up. Ya got me hooked

Whoever is in charge of robot designs at Bethesda needs a raise, they never miss.

I like how in F3\NV, when you talk to the the Mr.Handys, the camera just zooms into the photo-receptor that's looking at you, and the photo-receptor's limb moves closer to you. Such a cool 3D effect that works even without any 3D hardware.

I flat out preferred the fallout 3 10 mil pistol over the fallout 4 one. It had been that way for soooo long it just felt wrong to change it whatsoever.

I think i like the fallout 4 plasma gun more as the idea of: plasma is difficult and needs a lot of parts and is thus blocky and unwealdy

2:36 There's weapon mods for the Plasma Caster that make it look true to the original. It looks gorgeous with them.

This was a wonderful video to watch, thank you. I'm mad they reduced the Centaurs in FNV and removed them altogether in FO4. One of my fav creature designs

Hot take but power armour in FO4 is leagues better than the other games. As a suit that’s supposed to make you feel like a walking tank. You actually feel like a tank

I'm torn about it because it really does actually fit a lot more with how it looks in the classic fallouts and its very good but i always feel like I don't have much of a need to wear it that often? Also after a long time of play i dont feel anywhere nearly as attached to it as i did on my first play through. Maybe in the next game it should be a bit harder to get and find parts for it? I think that could really bolster a stronger attachment to your suit?

@@snowycity making fusion cores (or whatever they replace them with) harder to get would also be better. in my first playthrough, finding them was tough, so I was very careful about using power armor. that made suiting up for what I expected to be a particularly hard mission feel more significant and meaningful. in subsequent playthroughs, I knew where to find fusion cores and ended up with a huge surplus.

Design wise, it fixes 3 and NV's power armor by making it big. Still, it's a bit too fat and clunky for my tastes. In 1 and 2, it was big and bulky while also sleak.

@SgtP4in

Жыл бұрын

I think a lot of the problems with "modern" power armor stems from game balance issues: Fusion Cores aside, Fallout 4 and 76 are too easy once you have a halfway decently leveled character, and so it makes power armor just not worth using. Allowing players to access the armor so early in the game, with no power armor training, also makes it less of an accomplishment to aquire.

Coldest take on this comment section

It's actually kinda funny that having a rifle pretending to be a pistol by not having a stock or a barrel isn't a new thing added with 4. It's also how the 223 pistol came to be in the original game. So that's kinda neat

The biggest thing that detracts from the Super Mutants in Fallout 4 in my opinion is their mouths. Specifically, the fact that they keep them closed for the most part. All of the past Super Mutants were constantly baring their teeth, which REALLY upped the intimidation factor. Taking that away made them feel a lot less threatening (even if they had one of the most terrifying enemies in the franchise thanks to Suiciders).

I agree with you with designs but fo3 is trash i use to think it was good but i started a recently play through and i regret it

What bothered me in Fallout 1/2 is how guns shared the same "3d" model even when it had a different sprite

Yeah idk why they changed the art style so dramatically from 3 to 4 I honestly hate how round everything is now and I really hate how every gun that has a manual action is now left handed.

The Fallout 4 super mutants are just the British commoners. 11:13 "Big angry dudes" for sure

I choose to treat the floating bots from 1&2 and Tactics as mouthbots to the 3+ eyebots. Alsp could compatr the tactics bipeds to Protectrons and Assaultrons.

The Fallout new Vegas super mutants are the ones from fallout 1 I believe.

Thank you!

my favorites are the 1/2/nv designs, new vegas is slightly different due to the second generation and the prolongued stealth boy use from nightkin turning them purple from a lack of light exposure

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought the Classic 10MM would've been fallout 3 design. When I got the gun I was like wait a minute either my memory is failing me but that doesn't look right

I learned on my most recent playthrough of new Vegas that you do not ever have to kill a super mutant/ nightkin and it completely blew my mind

The original design weapons from Fallout 4 are peak design and look amazing for the context of a Power Armour centered arms development , made to be used by units with Power Armour users and normal Infantry .

Funnily enough, in NV the first gen supermutants (the ones in the original Fallout games) actually did live together with the second gen supermutants (the ones introduced by F3) for a time on Black Mountain, and the game itself even distinguishes them from one-another. But at one point the Nightkin moved in and the gen1 supermutants left and settled in Jacobstown.

Those other mutants were created accidentally by the Enclave in Fallout 2, from the slaves they used to excavate Mariposa, they aren't from the East Coast.

Would be cool if we get in the future a Fallout game that includes ALL designs of a certain weapon with diffren stats and characteristics, like F3's 10mm is big and bulky = less accuracy but more stability and higher firerate. Unless it's a lore wise unique and or plain and simple dumb designed like F3's combat shotgun Giving truely a feeling of uniqueness and astonishing by each weapon you find. Same with clothing like F1's Combat Armore looks drasticly diffrent from F3's, more doom like looking. So you could have NPC's mixed up and running around in the same kind of armor (combat, green, etc.) but still have them looks diffrent and unique.

the funny thing about Fo4s Power Armour, is the amount of workstations in prewar garages implying that PA was covered by the 2nd Amendment because of course.

Okay, screw you, the _Fallout 4_ Plasma Rifle is the best version of the Plasma Rifle in the entire franchise. It does look ridiculous as a pistol, I'll give you that... but in rifle form, it is awesome. I especially love how it looks with an Automatic Barrel and Marksman Stock, in or out of power armor. It's perfect.

I actually like most of the changes. Especially Plasma Rifle, like it’s horrendous looking in 3 and NV.

My issue with a lot of Bethesda redesigns is the misunderstanding of what Black Isle’s aesthetic was meant to look like. Fallout 1 and 2 take from cassette futurism which is far more blocky and darkly colored with key visual inspirations like Alien, Akira and Star Wars being what they drew from. Bethesda takes more from atompunk which has visuals similar to the Jetsons or Futurama and I just personally dislike that direction. This was far less bad in fallout 3 but it really ramped up in 4 and 76.

I like FO4's Plasma Gun. Only as a rifle tho, the pistols look goofy as hell, I agree.

The original (FO1&2) Lazer/Plasma pistols definitely look better. But those Power Fists? (and all the different variants) Definitely better in 3/NV.

The one in 76 is also customisable to look more like the original plasma caster and i think it was well adapted into the new look of fallout since 4

I grew up playing Fallout 3. Literally! I was eight when it came out, and I'm honestly not sure whether or not it wasn't my first game! And I must say: the sentry bot gave me nightmares. No holds barred, the point that scared me the most while playing Fallout 3 was walking through some office halls (because I was too young to remember to always sneak, I think) and then, BAM! The walls retract, revealing Sentry Bot after Sentry Bot after Sentry Bot, and I think I died nigh instantly, I think I was level 4 or something. The other most scarring point of my childhood gaming experiences was being surprised by a khajiit mugger in Oblivion at the age of like six or something, and watching my parents play BioShock from the hall.

the thing about Fallout’s Mutants having different looks is their source. The Master created the Western Mutants, which were subjected to the Master’s version of FEV, and therefore are mostly intelligent and nearly perfect due to decades of experimentation. F3’s mutants were an accident and the ones in 4 were created by the Institute.
