I always thought that Vera Lynn's "We'll Meet Again" would be a better fit, seeing as it appeared in Salad Fingers, a post-apocalyptic online flash cartoon. Great stuff.

I really like that idea. Sounds too good to be true though, Bethesda isn't good enough at writing to produce something like that.

Nope. It's completely wrong- note that the 'theory' mentions that the riots only occurred in the cities. The new protagonist lives right in the middle of Boston. Expected response: Boston isn't a major city. False. Even if you don't consider it to be, it is extremely close to New York City and...

Wrong. I don't think you understand what 'breakdown of society' means.

Actually, Gray mentions in his audio diary that humans are becoming scarcer, a clear reference to the winter. Also, I always interpreted it as a regular winter too, it's just a good thing to look at all of the options- maybe Cain and crew weren't as well versed in the effects of nuclear...

Hey, I didn't write this stuff. It's all Fallout lore. I must say, though, I'm disappointed with the lack of knowledge on how mutation actually works in the series, so maybe the creators just didn't understand how nuclear winter works either.

I wonder how long it actually lasted. Honest Hearts gives a typical descripiction of nuclear winter right after the war, but Richard Gray refers to an event known as the 'Great Winter' occuring in 2130 in the first game. Think there's a connection?

Nope. Change in parallel universes is exponential- after divergence, the universe looks much like ours with an increasing amount of difference for every bit of time that passes. The events that caused the separation likely had roots before the divergence, so it likely occured in mostly the same...

I never said 'no fallout shelters', just no massive underground vaults. Of course conventional fallout shelters would be in use.

Same thing. I just personally wouldn't like to see the same re-hashed plot, maybe something new- i.e., conventional fallout shelters.

It would be pretty ridiculous, at least in my opinion. If there was an Fallout game taking place in England, there should probably be normal public fallout shelters rather than actual Vault-Tec vaults.

Well, I was referring to the days before the Resource Wars. Of course, after the European Civil War all of the continent was a mess of trenches like in World War I, with Mad Max style warlords running around picking off survivors.

In an Adventure Time fan fiction I'm working on (don't ask, complicated cartoon) Gorbachev was never appointed, thus leading to a much more militant Soviet Russia without social reforms. I needed a way to explain why they existed until 1996, the year I set the 'Great Mushroom War'. What if...

No! You fool! That would make my fan fiction non-canon! XD

As many here know, Germany was divided directly after World War II. Eventually, the two states were knows as West and East Germany, with the former being NATO-aligned and the latter being strictly loyal to the Soviet Union and bonded by the Warsaw Pact. Nowhere was this more prevalent than...

It was probably already a mess of trenches by the time of the Great War because of the European Civil War. They probably had a situation very similar to that of World War II, where London and the other major cities were constantly being bombed and attacked. I'm sure some of the surviving nations...

Pre-war society seems to be very unique in that it can't be summarized in one word. There seems to be a huge basis on the 1960s-1980s, where the youth were punks rejecting the classic American way of life while the adults tended to be very traditional and rooted in the past. There was a hippie...

No thanks, I'd rather not be lectured by the entire forum on why I'm apparently so wrong.

Then you probably wouldn't want to hear my opinions on a real life annexation. Really? Really?

It is extremely likely that China became the 'monster of the east' and began annexing all of Asia, thus explaining the out of place American-Soviet alliance. Undoubtedly and unfortunately, Taiwan was likely the first to go. Certain dialogue suggests that Mongolia was annexed (Gobi Campaign), and...
