It depends. It's good, but Tord has the best Lets Play of it ever made. It's on his Youtube channel. I've watched it through a dozen times at least. Quite worth it IMO; though of course it's a total spoiler.

If you look (listen) at Fallout 1 & 2, the only 50's music in the games are the two intro tracks. The rest is atmospheric, and importantly representative of the inhabitants of the given areas. Brotherhood, Necropolis, Shady Sands, the Village, NCR. They are all culturally different; new...

Why would a society who imagines a great future to come, imagine that their music and cultural tastes would remain stagnant. When they imagined a future car, they did not expect it to be a 57' Chevy, they expected it to be a design of the future ~with 50's aesthetics. The same goes for housing...

Gotta leave their own mark.

The original Fallout doesn't need a wild wasteland perk (or trait); the wasteland is implicitly wild already. Arguably the WW perk in New Vegas is itself a mistake having it as optional, because the (outer wasteland) gameworld should exist that way regardless of player preferences —it's simply...

Possibly; even likely. But it's common for posters to not know the game's history or the original devs.

Fargo created Interplay, Cain worked for Interplay, and created Fallout (engine code), Sawyer worked for Interplay, lead the team that created Interplay's Fallout 3 (Van Buren), and later lead the team that created New Vegas at Obsidian; Fargo originally came up with the name Fallout. *Fargo...

What's Urquhart doing (or done) to hold them back?

I happened to be watching a Columbo episode when I discovered the post above.

Yes. Blender can be used to create models for FO3, and beyond. Nifscope is (or was?) the tool to import models as game-ready assets. Nifscripts exist for Blender model export as .nif files; for Nifscope.

Six string samurai all over again.

They show; even one sided the ceiling pipes, and other decorations are never perfect 90 degrees from the camera. The models need to be deleted from the maps.

Unlike Fallout 2 (or any later titles) Fallout had a style to it that made it almost like a setting for Heavy Metal Magazine; Fallout was indeed a one-shot world, originally. Vault 12's exposure to the war need not be repeatable at all, just a fluke of the weird way that the people's psychology...

Sucking is beside the point; the example is meant to be an absurd extreme. It is that it ignores canon, just like anything else some reckless writer might think is cool to add into to the lore. Canon keeps out Brave Sir Robin, and strongly implies what should and should not exist in the...

Sam and Frodo are captured in Mordor by Galactus, who covets the ring for his own. The hobbits are dead, but Galactus looses the ring to Plastic-Man, and the Green Arrow. Nothing wrong with this right? The absence of canon means anything goes; this was the problem of Fallout 2. It was bad enough...
