    Will in ten years Fallout still be relevant as a series?

    In terms of influence in gaming? Triple As completely dominate the industry now, and I can't think of a single Triple A CRPG released in the last 10 years. They just churn out braindead FPSes with slightly different colour schemes and varying levels of consequence-free bullshit. You could try...

    Some Chris Avellone shenanigans on twatter

    So I'll get to blow up Elon's emaciated 200-year-old husk? Sounds good to me.

    Fallout 3: The BEST????

    I can't believe this. I can't believe you could write this without immediately killing yourself by auto-enucleation and going straight to the Challenger Deep of Hell for all eternity. This is the worst thing I have ever seen in my entire life. Allow me to write for you a 600 page essay...

    SpaceWreck - Fallout inspired isometric retro indie RPG

    I love the art so far, thought the pallet would be too garish at first but you really pulled it off. The interface is a really nice touch too. Followed :]

    Who else hates the idea that the world could’ve been saved if only...

    None of them. It's a fan theory, probably brought on by the nationalist intro to FO4. It doesn't explicitly say that fusion could've stopped the Great War, in fact it says the opposite. But it does suggest that fusion was a miracle that provided for a borderline utopia before people ran out of...

    Aww, don't make me blush ;) Made my day, you're welcome.

    No, it hasn't. Marxists, cooperatives, and syndicalists have been in conflict since the First International, and social-democrats joined the list after the Second. The communist view has always been that unions are organs of mediation and negotiation between workers and capitalists, which makes...

    The word for that is revisionist. To be fair, they've been calling themselves Marxists since the SPD in the 1800s. At a glance he's got a lot of coop, union and left-nationalist stuff. I know the type. I'd say I was disappointed if I wasn't beyond used to it by now. I think Hardboiled...

    Courier Names

    I did the Six thing too. I RPed that he remembered his "real" one once he got to Primm, but was fixed on the name by then. The Courier gets around, I'm sure they've had plenty of names before.

    To be clear, I don't think the writers are Marxists by any means. But I think the influence on Fallout's world is undeniable, even if it's unconscious. The conclusion the writers drew from it ("war never changes") isn't the one I would, but without revolutionary consciousness it's all you've got.

    It does make sense from that perspective, even if the writers weren't intending to make a critique of capitalism. Maybe more so. To give an overview, capitalism's most important contradiction according to the LTOV is probably the tendency of the rate of profit to fall, which takes the form of...

    Where's Society?

    Something else I noticed - there's not really much history either. It's 210 years since the bombs fell, but the history of the Commonwealth you're actually exposed to only goes, what, 25 years deep at the most? It feels like it's only a few decades after the War ended, especially as BGS insists...

    Where's Society?

    Hey, I'm new here! I came across NMA while complaining about the epitome of Bethesda that is FO76, and found myself really resonating with a lot of the opinions here about FO3. Hope you're all doing well :) I thought I'd start off my time here with a critique of something I noticed about FO4...

    Fallout 76 news

    There are people out there who still haven't just ruled 76 out as a non-canon cashgrab spinoff?
