What I find interesting on this apparent Vault 76 lore and the general plot of rebuilding is that it has had virtually no effect or bearing on any of the previous Fallout titles even though it takes place just 20 or so years after the war. So after hundreds of years when 3, New Vegas, and 4 take...

BoS has to go for New Vegas to remain completely independent and not threatened - especially with all the bots protecting New Vegas. Also notice how the BoS count in the Fight the Power! perk along with NCR and Legion. All I regret is having to destroy the bunker - as all the technology they've...

The most clinically psychopathic character IMO is Clanden, and that's even completely aside from the snuff films and murder of prostitutes. He no guiding principles at all himself and is completely indifferent towards any goals and ideals for whom he works for. The goals of the Legion or...

New Vegas is an amazing city and all, but there's only one place in the Fallout wasteland where you can follow your dreams of becoming a porn star or murdered for having drugged up sex with a mob boss's daughter or wife - and that's New Reno.

It's much easier to justify siding with The Railroad or The Minutemen while keeping your companions around. It's much harder to justify siding with The Brotherhood and truly take in their beliefs at heart while running around with Strong (a super mutant), and Curie or Nick (Synths) without...

One thing I've noticed on another run-through is the NPC's at various settlements; even those that aren't randomly generated and have names and everything all have the same personality if you can even call it that, and no quirks or sense of motivations or reason for being at all. It's almost...

New Vegas should have never included the karma system used in 3. I can massacre Powder Gangers and gain karma, while stealing from them is a bad thing. I can even rescue Powder Gangers, or give them medicine and thats a good thing too. One of the worst aspects is one of my characters in New...

Philosophically it's the equivalent of killing all the Nazi concentration camp guards no questions asked, but having a deep conversation and straight up sparing Adolf Hitler. That's what's so insidious about it. Fallout 3 and 4 are especially terrible with this. The Triggerman and Skinny...

I thought some of the writing for the opening was very forced and awkward. Mitchell gives you a Vault Jumpsuit and a Pip-Boy for...reasons? There my suspension of disbelief took a big knock. Does this random doctor do that for every patient? "Here, take my most prized possession and a vault...

Just thought I'd add - it is rather interesting that House himself is categorized as an abomination along with the Tunnelers, Deathclaws, Dead Money Ghost People, Spore Plants and Centaurs.....

Dr. Madison Li - "I've been betrayed! Well I didn't know this war and destruction machine I've been working on was going to be used as a war machine!"

It's Bethesda so occult references with Lovecraftian themes and locations thrown in for good measure.

Bethesda has always had this massive hard on for keeping BoS around in particular so I'm not surprised they'd recton. They do anything they can to insert and make them a major faction in every Fallout regardless if they belong there or not.

The Lone Wanderer suffered a concussion wandering the Capital Wasteland and took a long nap right then and there. Think of it like Dorothy and the tornado in the Wizard of Oz.

If I killed every Fallout character who had a "past" or did questionable things and moved on with their lives at least half the NPC's would be dead right off the bat, and then including The Courier, Joshua Graham, Mr. House, Christine, and pretty much every other major character, and that's just...

There's this sense I get from the narrative, and even the way I hear people talk about it that I was supposed to feel guilty or something for taking the baby away and then killing her mother Sandra (Ashurs wife)? Because I shotgunned her in the stomach right before I left and felt quite good...

My genuinely most hated character in the series is Colonel Autumn from Fallout 3 because he's the blandest, most forgettable, worst written villain I've ever seen in a game or any form of media for that matter. You can talk him down at the very ending in literally 3 lines without much effort and...

I suspect outside the major Legion camps and towns it'd be pretty deserted in their overall territory aside from the boarders. The reason I think this is because there are virtually no raiders or tribals or anything like that, so there would virtually none of these small towns or pockets of...

Bethesda doesn't respect any lore not even their own.
