I believe that was the joke, my good sir

[Sergius]

Well there was a 50%/50% chance it was serious so I posted on the safe side

[Krevsin]

Seriously though, I'd love to see intelligent mirelurks.

[forsaken1111]

Would they covet human legs as a delicacy?

Seriously though, I'd love to see intelligent mirelurks.

There were intelligent deathclaws in Fallout 2, and a sinister rat king that could talk so it's not wholly out of the question. You could meet a society of intellectually enchanced mirelurks: local human village leader wants them wiped out as an abomination, but you can arrange a peace treaty between them after a young human-mirelurk forbidden love couple beseech you to see beyond anti-mutant crustacean prejudice.

It's not too much of a stretch, either. The wasteland survival guide quest chain in 3 had you investigate a mirelurk nest. They are, at worst, as intelligent as some primate species.

There was also a giant molerat who wanted to take over the world and liked cheezy poofs.

It's not a rumor, since it was said by Zenimax's PR head himself. That said, not buying the game is probably a pretty ineffective way to prevent paid mods. Not buying paid mods, on the other hand, is actually voting with your wallet.

And yes, that is what I have been saying. Don't pay for the mods. There's no need to have everyone freak the hell out about this, just don't buy them.

I have my doubts about not buying the mods being more effective.
It costs them almost NOTHING to start reeling in cash from mods. Salaries for execs making deals, and server traffic. Pennies.
Consequently, it'd take pennies to get into the black with the mods, and from then on it's a free ride on the gravy train.

If on the other hand we freak out and don't buy their games, they are losing money. (corporations subscribe to 'lost revenue' after all)
It's similar to why deleting/reversing recommendations on Skyrim hurt them last time. A 16-point drop from 96% positive to 80% positive results in lost sales.
But to have the desired effect we'd have to 1: be vocal about it & 2:actually make a dent.

So freak out, don't buy it.

Is Daily Life with Mirelurk Girl a book you can find in the wasteland?

Not in polite company you can't.

Crustaceo and Juliet.

I LOVE IT.

If they actually announce the whole paid mod thing, I'll consider it. Right now you're freaking out over your interpretation of a vague statement in an article on the internet.

If they announce that paid mods will be mandatory and that nobody else is allowed to make mods, I'll probably give the game a skip. We'll wait and see.

Now isn't the time to become all militant in my opinion. I mean you can do whatever you want of course, I just won't be marching with you.

You can easily find it's more popular sequel, The Lusty Mirelurk Maid.

The more militancy, the sooner, the better. Just how it is.
I doubt they'll be stupid enough to give more of a warning than they already have, I'm kind of surprised he said what he did.

[Tellemurius]

Also, Crabs People.

You mean the Gomorrah workers?

No no, those are people with crabs, not people that are crabs.

Look like Crab
Talk like People
