The Whole Anime Thing?

[frank lee]

It looks as if Anime in Fallout is an emotive issue, from the mod requests its clear that the Fallout world is enjoyed by many otaku. But some 'lore' purists have a problem with this, is it time we had this out?

 

Can we discus this without descending into trolling an abusing one another? Would asking the admins to make an 'Anime corner' (or ghetto!) help?

 

Personally I like anime and enjoy the mods, I'm not big on lore because I didn't do much with FO1 & 2 but I have been into games that people 'messing' with the lore was annoying for me (though not to the point of attacking them in public forums) So perhaps its time to find the consensus. . .

 

Lets try to keep this civil, if it becomes a slanging match I'll ask the moderators to lock it!

well, in my honest opinion, since NV is a modable game, you can do with it whatever you like

the whole idea of modding, i think, is to make the game more to your liking

there are plenty of types of mods you can find, and not all are really lore friendly, but then again, they are fun to use, and flow with the game

so if you don't mind looking like an anime character in your game, then why shouldn't you do that??

 

now, i highly doubt there will be an anime section on this site

the only type of mods that should have a different section (which they do have) is mods with adult content, so that kids won't use them (though it's not so hard to do so.....)

but anime mods are just like any other mods around

i mean, looking like an anime character makes more sense then using a pistol that shoots hundreds of mini-nukes per second, right??

 

so basically, go with what you like, and if you make a mod worth looking at, then upload it

i'm sure people will be happy to see more mods uploaded

and as long as it doesn't violate the rules of this site, there shouldn't be any problem with it :)

What consensus? Discussing personal tastes, personal preferences and subjective definitions of what is lore-friendly and what is not is entirely pointless. Every person has a different tolerance limit to 'lore-unfriendly' mods, I think there is no clear cut definition of what is still acceptable as lore-friendly, and what is not.

 

If you don't like anime or anime-style mods or mods that contain things that you frown upon, nobody forces you to download them and use them, and for this reason they cannot ruin your experience or enjoyment.

 

Personally, I never use the negative endorsement options to express my disapproval because it is a profound discourtesy to drop a bomb on somebody's work that obviously took many hours to produce, and was meant to cater to a different 'consumer group'. If you think 'this mod is awful/breaks the lore", just rephrase that sentence to "this mod was not produced for me / this mod tries to cater to a different kind of use", and leave it alone.

Well, you are free to mod your game as you wish.

 

 

 

 

Edited to remove inflammatory remark. I'll never understand what gives the right to label anyone? It only reflects as part of your own intolerant and insecure character, a method to self-esteem via the expense of others'. -myrmaad

 

EDIT: Rather my lack of understanding for trying to smash together two completely incompatible styles. I have no problem with ketchup, in fact I rather like ketchup, but when I see someone putting it into everything from spaghetti to greek salad it's just plain weird. Can't you people enjoy anything non-anime without nipponizing it first?

[JimboUK]

I don't see the problem, they're not compulsory. I think some feel modders are there to provide a service rather than just share their creations, that's the impression I get from those who demand people stop making certain types of mod.

[frank lee]

@Cotes, are you seeing anyone putting ketchup on their Greek salad or are you just seeing the ketchup bottle on the table for anyone who feel they want it?

 

The adult mods section might be an idea but the game is rated 'Mature' isn't it.

 

 

once more, take a chill pill or count to 30 before posting, please.

...Yes, I do. People do post screenshots of their modded games, although I fail to see the what that analogy is going for in the first place. Again, I'm not telling you can't make your anime mods, I just have trouble understanding how anyone can get into the mood of Fallout and then think "Hmm, you know what this is missing? Neon-colored clothing, bigger tits, impossible hair styles, huge eyes and unconventional hair/eye colors!".

 

I mean really? That's what Fallout is about for you? If you need to go so far out of the game's stylistic range to enjoy it, why are you playing it in the first place?

Again, whatever you want, but from where I am standing you are the guy who needs to put ketchup in all his food because he can no longer enjoy any other taste. I just feel sorry for people who have developed so limited appreciation for different styles.

Like LadyMilia said, if you don't like what you see with these types of mods, then keep inflammatory remarks to yourself and let them be.

 

I never understand why, despite this, the people still go on their way to still make those remarks. It's not Constructive Criticism, and it's a violation of the rules.

well purists are free to keep their games pure by the mods they dl is that not the bottom line?

 

lot of people love anime and probably more keen to have fun with the game then worry if everything is canon, i mean while the world and timeline is crafted in great detail (see the fallout bibles) the game is also a rather tongue and cheek game in which we got robots, modern day weapons ancient cars that ran on nuclear reactors etc, exist. so most anything could be canon with a bit of retcon to the things backstory or just for the heck of it.

 

hell i would not mind seeing a vaash the stampede trigun mod, the characters would fit rather well into new vegas almost perfectly, tho i doubt i would ever see vaash's coat done with any justice where i would actually use it a ton. having a lack of movable cloth with such an animated coat just would seem odd.

 

but whatever floats your boat and the boat of other people that play the game the nexus is full of non canon creations and god items and etc, what some anime content?

I think it's a little rude to call someone an "otaku," but other than that, I don't really see what the big deal is.
