    This is the first video in a new series on Fallout 2, though I'm making it slightly out of order because of which parts of the script are complete lol I plan to make parts 1 and 2 later in the year.
    I'm trying to find more ways to make my channel more financially viable since my content is so niche, but it's also something I'd like to do indefinitely. If you join my Patreon, you'll get access to every future video I post one day early! I'll also start including polls periodically when you can vote on what I make next or suggest video ideas. Thank you for all the support. I couldn't do this without all of you 🖤

      Your older videos have some lesser known knowledge in them but they're a bit hard to enjoy due to the low quality and because you've improved a lot since you started. I suggest remaking them altogether with better audio, clearer narration, and with a more concise way of delivering information, along with including new updated information.
      I also suggest using the chapters feature and making a better curated playlist for your videos, since there are people who like to watch things in order and it helps keep people continue to watch your stuff instead of being bounced off somewhere else.
      Your videos are a treasure trove with things people would've never otherwise have heard of. I've seen other fallout videos with information that I have no doubt came from you and they don't even bother mentioning you. It would be a shame if you didn't make use of all the knowledge that you've gathered to benefit yourself.

    The pariah dog was a really fun idea, I always wondered if they planned more wildcard oddballs like that during 2 and beyond

    • @TriangleCity
      @TriangleCity  3 дні тому +6

      One early ad mentioned 30 companions, while the base game has only 14. Even with temporary companions there's still a lot missing, but I didn't include that info because it was kinda tenuous at best lol

    I like how you always seem to understand why certain features weren't added (or throw out ideas about why it wasn't). I often find it annoying when people talk about cut content and act like it defintely should have been added, when there is often a good reason it wasn't (often time related).

    • @LonelySpaceDetective
      @LonelySpaceDetective 3 дні тому +1

      Yeah, speaking personally, Half-Life's fandom tends to worship the "beta" period as they call it of HL2's development, and while I do kinda appreciate the vibe of the older take on City 17 I feel like they get way too wrapped up in high concepts and atmosphere to see why the final game is what it is.

    The push npc function is such a graceful example of why deep consideration to every aspect of the player experience is so crucial.
    It seems like such a huge step back when later games didn't include it.
    Ah, and it would have been such a blessing for Morrowind players on console. Even though I'm playing it on pc, I still don't fancy going into the command prompt as it feels kinda wrong to me. If only it had become an rpg standard

    To be honest the highwayman having half of the size of a tank.... well depends on the tank and car, the chevy its a bit smaller but that concept art from exodus looks like a Cadillac Deville, or a cadillac el dorado i guess... if you put side by side a Cadillac el dorado and for example a sherman or an M 41 walker bulldog (ironically made by cadillac) that car is as long as the M 41 but just a bit shorter than a sherman.
    Some cars of the 50s in north america are just Land yachts (and awesome also)

    12:30 I have nothing but immense respect for creative, envelope pushing developers of the mid-to-late 90s. And while I generally subscribe to the death of the author(game developers) philosophy, the people who made the game deserve to have their ideas heard. Perhaps even given a bit more weight in terms of 'legitimacy.' Finally, we should not judge single quotes without also examining the broader context
    Howrver, this statement seems strangely cold and 'no fun allowed-y'. To be fair though, they had probably been through plenty of frustration during development and it may have impacted their attitude at the time.
    Maybe he just had no way of realising how enduring the series would be!
