Thus the cruel wicked irony of the show. For older Fallout fans, the show (however bad it was) triggers all sorts of nostalgia that sends those fans back to the original source material to revisit a game they loved so well. Heck, it even might bring some old fans back to the fallout forums...

Yes, but I have to admit, the first time through FNV is a bit spartan but perhaps that is worth doing if only to try the game out. But there are a lot of mods. Many of the mods are (sorry modders) shit, but a few are pretty good too. I have been enjoying World of Pain. Then again, I have yet...

Hey Folks, So I am trying to wrap up Fallout New Vegas with the World of Pain mod, and it seems I got hung up with getting into the Arena. I've managed to wipe out just about all the Tech Raiders thus far, but it seems there is a key to this door. I checked the guide on Steam but that is...

Agreed. But then, it's only been about 10 years and I still have yet to bring New Vegas to a conclusion. My excuse, I am currently looking for a key in World of Pain. CT Phipps- I am sorry to say this but Bradylama is correct that you are wrong about this.

Indeed, and one might see that as yet another plug for selling them to scientific experimentation.

Dude, you are way Boomer in Fallout years. Old rivalries perhaps. I often thought of DAC as a more inclusive, less tolerant and generally less pleasant than NMA, but I recall in days gone by that the two communities would look out for each other. Generally, a friendly rivalry, at least on...

Funny that this was actually a debate back in the day when Fallout 2 was the "new sequel." The applauds for Fallout 2 were many. It is an interesting game and the world is much more expansion, there are so many more stories and interactions, and so much more to play with. That said, Fallout...

Good question but I think the problem of character is how closely those characters are tied to context. Accept the various problems in the context of the show, and the many places the show screwed up the Fallout context, I am rather contented with the three central characters- Maximus, Lucy and...

I posted this elsewhere but it might be better placed here. The AV Club posted a thread on the Fallout Games and which should be watched based on the show. What are your thoughts? https://www.avclub.com/which-fallout-game-should-you-play-after-the-show-1851418327 Personally, I found the AV...

Sure, why not? My guess is that there might be a few seasons ahead of us.

Hey folks, just wanted to share a story from the AV Club on Fallout that I found disturbing, largely because of the low regard given Fallout 1. https://www.avclub.com/which-fallout-game-should-you-play-after-the-show-1851418327 . To me, Fallout 1 is the centerpiece of the Fallout universe...

I should perhaps not resurrect this but it is a good discussion as I am still playing World of Pain, and having problems getting into the Arena. Let's see my mods- World of Pain and most of the Some Guy Series are in my mod list. I think Project Brazil, Nevada Skies, Sunny Smiles Campanion.

I concur- the 1990s remake was very good and I liked how they returned to the issue of social division that was part of what the first a great movie of its time, and that they remained very faithful to the original. I also thought the updated Barbara was better especially when she's telling the...

Seriously, I was in grad school when Fallout 1 came out and I remember seeing it on a roommates computer and wanting to play it. And that was nearly 3 decades ago. Now my students are the children of my students back then! Reeling in the years. The game is going cross-generational.
