Bethesda is just like Apple, it can churn out mediocre product and make millions because it has good marketing. No one can really say Skyrim and 4 were better than mediocre. Yes they both had good moments, but they wasted too much potential to be considered good games or even just ok games.

I'd prefer to think the Shi are still independent and capable of bluffing the NCR into staying away from the lands formerly known as the San Francisco Bay Area with their advanced technology.

My issue with 3's Vaults is that they contained science experiments and not social experiments. Can anyone really justify exposing people to LSD against their will as a social experiment? And Vaults 87 and 92 shouldn't have followed through on their experiments if the scientists had a single...

Yeah some stuff will last but 99.999999% of the food that be around when the bombs dropped wouldn't be around by 2100. Hell canned food at my grandpa's house didn't even last 20 years in a sort of controlled environment. But yeah Beth magic...Skyrim invaded and cast a spell that makes food never...

That food can survive a nuclear explosion and last forever without formaldehyde. That the games are good even though they launch with half the content missing because Obsidian did that. Even though the working bits of New Vegas were at least as good as Bethesda at its height...10+ years ago...

I personally like the fan fiction with the Storyteller. It's far better than anything in Fallout 4. It's an interesting story and well, it works. Yeah Bethesda threw the lore in a blender and they have to deal with it. That makes things murky for them as they write the story. That's the state...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They basically think they can make a game with 1/2 the content missing and some improved story and be critically acclaimed. The main quest from Fallout 3 was longer and more thought out than any of the factions in 4. I did the BoS and I watched a playthrough of the Institute quest. It was a...

Referencing Logan's Run would have made more sense. That's the only way to fix Lamplight.

I'm ok with them trying to do new things. Like the voiced protagonist. I didn't mind that they did this, but it was executed so poorly its laughable. The Radiant quests are a nuisance. They think they can make a main faction based around radiant quests. There are basically no RPG elements and...

I'm actually not ignoring what could happen to the Legion after Caesar and Lanius die. I did mention it. I'd imagine some legionnaires would come for Vegas. More likely the ones that are nearby. I doubt they'd come from farther in Legion territory at first. But that's what a future game is for...

I know that, but is it enough to feed an army and populace? Under a protracted siege its unlikely. The NCR would only need to find a way to blow them up. Westside feeds itself and maybe some of Outer Vegas and the NCR Farms supplement the NCR army. As noted before, the Legion can't survive a war...

This is one thing that I always find funny here. Someone, in this case me, points out a hole in something Obsidian did and the thing gets defended or my point gets destroyed. If I did this with 3 or 4, everyone would be piling on. My point is, besides my tangent, is that there are enough...

Well there's the Kings, not all of them are needed in Freeside. Combine that with Westside and the people living in the sewers and they could with support from House take on the Fiends. There are enough people to form a basic defense force and keep some of the highways safe enough for trade and...

But could pillaging be a solution to a siege? Especially if they're kept to just Freeside and Westside? I know they can grow food, but could they sustain themselves for more than a few weeks.

I'm not saying, implying or meaning mercenaries. That's what you're thinking. I'm saying having the area around the strip be a self governing colony, something akin to England and Canada in its early days. One nominally controls the other. I'm also not implying a democracy either, but a one...

There could be behavioral ticks due to growing up in a virtual reality. Something to the extent that their personalities are basically just computer programs put into human brains. Just because it isn't shown doesn't mean slightly more thought out writing could change things. Granted thought and...

I don't think growing people in incubators that are raised by VR tech isn't too far outside of Fallout lore. VR tech exists and gowing something isn't far fetched since the Institute makes and preserves Super Mutants. The grown humans would face racism, the human synths are treated as test...

From what I've gathered, 200 people would be fine with what they were doing. I have sort of assumed that there are larger Vaults out there. Either military or Enclave or what have you. I also assumed 1000 square feet for a family of 4 because that's what my family had in the 1950's for five...

This is one thing that has racked my head since playing Fallout 4. The synths exist to drive the plot, I know that. But why? The synths only really do simple tasks like being janitors and doing general maintenance. Why do you need robots that can approximate human behavior to the point of...
