Unwashed Village / Thoughts on the end of Bethesda's Forums

« on: August 20, 2021, 06:45:32 AM »

So I'm not sure if many of you have followed/heard that Bethesda is planning on sunsetting their forums and in favor of using Discord instead.
Their full comment on the situation: https://bethesda.net/en/article/3nf1F08LHgUEmSt7EqA9ru/bethesda-net-forums-to-be-sunset

I recognize the somewhat sunsetting of forums in general and the prominence of things like Reddit as an alternative, I don't think I could ever see Discord as a replacement for a forum. I see forums as a good place to make a topic and hopefully have lots of dedicated input from different people (poor Empty threads), but compared to the chatroom setting of Discord, it does not seem intuitive in highlighting important subjects relevant to the community unless it's constantly spammed which may result in people just muting the community and disengaging. Many say that this is Bethesda's way of ignoring feedback but who really knows, I guess it may be cheaper to just have a discord server for people to complain about their buggy ass games.

It may be the nostalgic goggles of a time when forums were hot stuff, but I was wondering what do you think? Especially for a company still operating and producing games.

Unwashed Village / Xbox and Zenimax/Bethesda Purchase

« on: September 23, 2020, 10:05:57 PM »

So I'm sure many of you are aware of the new purchase Xbox made and how the Fallout franchise may or may not see some new stuff in the future? I've heard all different sides and thoughts of the story but from what it's sounding like is that now Obsidian, inXile, and Bethesda are now technically all under the same roof now, maybe we can see some good things to come?

Anyone have any thoughts? It may also mean a bad time for Playstation users but who knows!

Unwashed Village / Fallout 76 Collector's Helmet Recall

« on: September 24, 2019, 11:21:01 PM »

Hey guys,

Just wanted to spread the news here for whomever it may concern but it turns out that an exclusive Gamestop version of the T-51b PA helmet that was given as part of a promotion for FO76. Apparently there's a chance of mold growing in the nylon helmet liner.

BE ADVISED don't wear it if you do regularly and probably check the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (If you're an American) and it currently says you should ask for a refund due to this recall.

Stay Safe and Unwashed

Unwashed Village / Best Premade Character for Fallout?

« on: October 10, 2017, 04:14:02 PM »

Recently I started a new game for Fallout and I decided I would spice up my life a little and choose a pre-made character (Which I never did before)

I ended up going with Natalia mainly because her steal skill is something I like to have since it makes making money easy.

I was just wondering if you guys have any preferences with any Pre-made characters or if you just roll with a custom character?

Unwashed Village / Fallout Wargaming

« on: October 03, 2017, 04:37:08 PM »

Hey Villagers,

I was wondering if anyone else heard about the upcoming Fallout themed Board game.

http://www.modiphius.com/fallout.html

It seems to mostly focus on the Fallout 4 stuff, but I read somewhere they plan on Adding Enclave so here's to hoping they add more in terms of stuff from older games (Enclave, NCR, Caesar's Legion, The Master's Army etc.)

Any thoughts on it? Do many people here play a lot of board games?

Unwashed Village / Contract Killer discussion

« on: October 28, 2015, 10:17:20 PM »

Hey people who are Unwashed,

I was wondering about something ever since I started my hundredth or so play through of Fallout 3. The perk Contract Killer invites you to work for an organization called Littlehorn & Associates and focuses on contract killing, just like the Lawbringer perk allows you to join the Regulators (Which Lucas Simms works for). I've always played with the idea that Mr. Burke was/is a member of that organization to kind of add something to his somewhat mysterious background.

What do you guys think about this theory? Has it been discussed before? I don't know
