Greens Perhaps a quick reference to the brothers Green, or here lies Johnston Green. Every scene with papa Green in it I expected Gerald McRaney to deliver the line,"You're a Green goddamnit!" Maybe something with two brothers named Jake and Eric, or one looking for the other. Headstones that...

Didn't I just avoided him and told the guy in charge of the powerplant that I'd shut him down unless he turned off the reactor. Convinced the EC to help me take out Frank.

AI "I Have No Mouth and Yet I Must Scream" About an AI that enslaves the last 5 humans on earth after a huge nuclear war. Hates humanity for creating it, and so extracts revenge on the remaining five by not allowing them to commit suicide, resequencing their genomes to become mutants and giving...

HW Check I enjoyed the original fallouts because of their lack of usable BFGs. I never took heavy weapons as a skill, mostly because I didn't intend to mow down my NPCs, or use a rocket launcher that would run out of ammo early on. If Bethesda has been doing their homework then having an...

Fat-Man (Nuke Catapult) I have noticed a lot of ire and gnashing of the teeth around some of the weapons Bethesda is going to be using in FO3. I think the weapons will be awesome, I loved the upgrades in FO2, and the people at Bethesda will probably do a really good job with the ability to...
