What are some of your unpopular opinions?

the brotherhood of steel were bunch of tribals in fallout 1
Edit #1: they should have explored the tribalism theme in the brotherhood, it existed since fallout 1 but they were turned into generic technologist, i feel the same toward shady sands/the ncr their semi Indian/Egyptian culture made them unique, now? they are just westerns culture Americans
Edit #2: the generational ship is also biblical plot for the rapture like fallout 1 and arcanum stories
Are you referring to NCR Adobe architecture? If so, it was a missed opportunity to utilize them in New Vegas to make NCR territories more distinct and interesting, thereby strengthening the theme of a post post-apocalyptic world. But I suspect it wasn't there due to time constraints. The same goes for the show where there are ruined skyscrapers and some generic architecture instead of adobe, like in the classics.

Well there’s also the fact that Aradesh is some kind of Hindu and mentions Dharma. And whatever happened to that obelisk in the middle of Shady Sands?

Edit: سوف تتدفق الأنهار إلى اللون الأحمر بدماء الكافرة ;)

Serious edit: I actually don’t think it’s too strange that the NCR lost most of its cultural identity from the Shady Sands days, because the NCR isn’t just Shady Sands. Shady Sands facilitated its formation but it started as an alliance between Shady Sands, Junktown, the Hub, and Adytum. All of those other places are pretty much regular Americans (even if the Hub tries to have a bit of a Middle Eastern bazaar vibe) so it’s logical that that culture would dominate.

you would think it is still present through the descendent of the original shady sands or their religion spread so their culture and architecture, but you never hear dharma in 2 and nv

eh i didn't mean the architecture here but the culture an their believes, like it vanished from earth the day the vault dweller left south california
 
i don't like new vegas design for glock 86 plasma pistol and winchester p94 plasma rifle, the plasma caster is now more of big weapons of how much its bulky, the original had a believable look for a rifle, and the plasma defender is now generic glock with a green light on it

and i have seen better modules from fans that represent the original weapons better even if they are not 100% accurate

It always perplexes me as to why the 3D games felt the need to redesign the originals despite them being fine and already having a reference to work with, instead of taking the time to create new designs. This is especially evident in the power armors, where the 3D ones look unnecessarily detailed, fat, and bulky like Fallout 4, 76, and show instead of tall, lean, and agile, like the classics, which look more imposing and badass.

and yeah i feel the same about that weird urge to redesign in games, especially power armor, the whole point was that it had human level agile and make the wearer being able to lift support weapons

new vegas saying that the ncr can't understand how to use power armor is upper bullshit, every design philosophy after ww2 is about simplicity and accessibility, how power armor training is a good retcon? how the ncr a literal nation can't understand shit about one type of armor?

i don't agree, the fallout 2 one is more retro futuristic and have more gothic ray gun in its design and less industrial, it fits the aesthetic more than black robot with red eyes as something evil and military
also wheels are far inferior to bulky feet

I think it's New Vegas having to work with the leftovers from Fallout 3, so they probably didn't have much choice but to include it. If it were up to them, they wouldn't have included it since Josh Sawyer made a mod for New Vegas that removed power armor training from the game.

the problem here isn't the training, the problem is someone though the power armor are complex machinery that a nation like the ncr and its military personnel can't figure out how to move their muscles in an "armor" that follow "their muscles movements"

They could have just as easily removed the requirement from the get-go tbh. Unlike Bethesda's games, Power Armor isn't easily just found in the world in New Vegas, even the sets you can loot off corpses for the Brotherhood missions are areas that aren't as easily accessible like an irradiated pit with Centaurs, the middle of the Boomers' targeting area, and inside the Repconn facility with multiple hurdles in the way to the top floor.

I saw Josh Sawyer get interviewed and mentioned he didn't want to reinvent the wheel since a lot of the people who are going to play New Vegas are going to be the same people who played Fallout 3 and wanted New Vegas to be familiar to them, which is why I think they felt the need to keep power armor training in the game and make it fit with the lore.
