As for the NCR being too far away, I'm assuming the NCR of 2244 would have had a military base near Bakersfield (Necropolis) that it would use as a base to launch an operation against the Enclave at Navarro. From Necropolis to the real world town of Fort Bragg (No actual fort is there) is 440...

The raiders were annoying. One big thing about the Capitol Wasteland I didn't like was the lack of settlements once you got passed Arefu. I liked that I had an incentive to go exploring, but a couple more safe towns out that way isn't too much to ask. Groups of warlords controlling a string of...

Everyone know that 2 square meters of cotton on a woman is more protective than 12 square meters of metal. I always felt that logic was condescending towards the fan bases of those games. As for the visuals of Midwestern BoS armor, the visuals getting reused in 3 was Bethesda's inconsistency...

If Obsidian does get a second go at a Fallout game, I hope they get time to make a game. New Vegas felt rushed to me and is the primary reason why I'm not going to rush into 4. I don't know if it was Bethesda putting an artificial time limit on Obsidian to make something or did Obsidian rush...

There were people in Raven Rock, that isn't something mentioned in game, but someone had to maintain the place for 170 years between the bombs falling and the oil rig getting destroyed. Since robots don't really think, someone had to be around to trouble shoot them. I would like to see...

More likely the Midwestern Brotherhood, some remnants of the Army/National Guard that aren't affiliated with the Enclave, local police forces or just some a holes with guns. Besides the Enclave there isn't a "legitimate" remnant of the pre war government. Its more likely that some form of local...

For the GECK to work on the the moon or Mars, they'd need to be terraformed enough to have an atmosphere, then the GECK could make fertile land.

Very cool! I always liked the eye bots, even though they were a bit annoying at times.

It sounds like it could be a fun game, hopefully more fun than New Vegas was. It just depends on what the dynamics between the factions are. Like can I only be a Ranger, or can I turn on them and join the remnants? Also what happens to the remnants by 2274 when the NCR shows up? Did they just...

The Vault 87 super mutants are stupid and I say this as someone who likes Fallout 3 and has researched the back story and lore. I think they're stupid because why would someone make super soldiers after the bombs hit? Given that no one could get into Vault 87 to make sure the experiment would go...

I actually went into Fallout 3 with kind of a bad impression. I had played Oblivion and like the story and the game play was ok when it didn't glitch and die. I saw the trailer for Broken Steel that got me interested and away I went. Now I rank it as one of my top 5 favorite games.

Also another point I make about the Enclave is, just because Richardson and Eden were genocidal, doesn't mean that the rank and file were aware of this or even agree with it. For all we know, there are "good" Enclave somewhere out there that might not be the bad guys for once. Like lets say in...

If you let ED-E go, he disappears upon reaching Navarro. I'd assume that means Navarro survived, or at least people that are descendants of the Enclave survived. I'm not saying the NCR wouldn't mount an attack, I'm just saying it wouldn't have gone as well as the NCR would like people to...

Don't forget economies of scale. It is easier and more important to learn how to manufacture clothing and every day items than cars or other such large machines. Also, you can manufacture a large amount of fabric or boots and get good at it and make it cheaper. Its hard to do that with a car...

Take into consideration that the NCR is a 3rd world country by our standards that had to fight through a hostile environment and cross the Coastal Range. So yes, based on the technological capacity, hostile creatures/people and crossing mountains, 450 miles is a very long distance to mount an...

I doubt Sacramento would have been bombed more than San Francisco would have. The inner parts of the Bay Area have way more people and bomb worthy targets. Sacramento is just a government seat that may have had some National Guard buildings. It was likely abandoned after the bombs fell. Its...

What did the old fan base expect when Fallout 3 was launched, Fallout with Civ 5 graphics? Games have been largely heading in the TES direction for years. I'm not implying that's Bethesda's doing, but the market for modern games to day prize TES like features. A game like Fallout, Fallout 2 and...

The war was inevitable. The Brotherhood wants to stockpile weapons technology and keep it out of the hands of "tribals".Even House noted that you would see the Brotherhood carrying an auto doc or prosthetic limbs. The Western Brotherhood only really cares about itself and its goals, which means...

Personally, the only part of the Elder Scrolls that should end up in Fallout is how skill points are gained. Comparing how you gained points in Oblivion compared to Fallout 3 it was easier and more natural in Oblivion. Granted that game had its own issues, that's not my point. It makes sense...

Developer oversight is likely the culprit. Fallout 2 was released only about a year after Fallout. It would be easier to not have to define and build a second metropolis in a game. Especially when most people outside of California don't care about Sacramento. Just like the NCR attack on Navarro...
