Fallout was influenced by the 80s-90s because that’s the time period the devs lived in. It wasn’t a conscious choice. They set out to make a Mad Max-styled post-apocalyptic RPG, then at some point in production, Leonard Boyarsky had the idea to “make it like the 50s”. Specifically, to style the...

Forgive me for asking a stupid question instead of reading through the changelogs, but do the Gun Runners ever sell any of the Fallout 2 weapons?

They probably thought their name was cooler, not picking up on the double entendre of Fixer.

You can have sex in 3 and NV. More so in NV I think.

Can’t you still see the door open in that water thief quest?

That would be a neat critical failure effect for using laser weapons against metal armors (including power armor). The attacker takes damage from their own laser, or alternatively it redirects the laser to a random combatant between the target and attacker. Might even be able to visually...

He’s been pretty consistent on not wanting to remaster old games. He’s said this about Fallout 1 and 2 a couple of times, and he’s said it about Arena and Daggerfall too.

Take All button, push companions out of the way, trade more than 999 of something at a time, more unarmed attacks, change companion armor and combat tactics, friend or foe perk is now the default setting (I think), charisma isn’t quite as useless due to the companion limit. That’s just off the...

As I watch that gif I can still hear the whine the dog makes when you snap its neck. I think that’s part of what makes people feel worse for animals than for humans. Animals have no shame or dignity. They cry like babies when they die. It triggers an empathic response in humans.

I don’t know. I don’t even remember there being a bar in the Boneyard. The only guy I can remember singing is the guy in Vault City who’s singing “Maybe”.

As a general rule, hard rock is bluesier, with less palm muting and more syncopation. Generally has slightly less distorted guitars, and less bass-y as well. Of course, this falls apart when applied to specific sub genres. I’d argue that stoner metal is more blues-based than most rock, and funk...

I’d say Vault-Tec and the Enclave nuked each other, the Brotherhood got nuked too so it’s back to just a single Lost Hills chapter, the NCR reformed and decided to move their capital back to the original Shady Sands. Not sure what else needs to be nuked to get us back to normal. I’d also say the...

Not from what I can remember

I just don’t understand why someone should feel bad for killing a dangerous creature they’re being attacked by just because the dangerous creature in question is sapient (or rather, has the potential to be genetically modified to be sapient). Do we feel bad for killing raiders?

This is the same thing as the hunting rifle in Fallout 3 firing a .32 pistol round. Bethesda either doesn’t know or doesn’t care. Probably both.
