Cooper at the other guy because he and Lucy were starving. Reasonable speculation on the serum, though. But that's not a game mechanic. There was plenty of stuff in the show that was transparently referencing game mechanics (which I really did not care for by the by), but that does not read as...

The idea that ghoul organs could be sold to non-ghouls for a profit is so retarded. Getting an irradiated half-rotten transplant from a creature who, due to their scrambled genes, might not even technically count as a member of the human species anymore, is so stupid. Lucy should have died from...

Forget that, how did the residents of Shady Sands not manage to find Vault 4? It's literally within sight of their settlement and out in the open, but somehow they only discovered it after Shady Sands was destroyed.

Eh, I'm not sure I buy it. The glass and steel framework doesn't look anything like anything we see in Big MT, it just looks like a framework for a normal roof. It's just some weird Chinese warehouse they filmed in because it looks decrepit and imposing. I would also note, I'm not sure that...

Got any pics of the big dome? I don't remember such a thing.

Made enough for everyone

Bradylama: Write a politically informed TV Show Nola: Ogey Fallout TV Show: The Revolutionary Class (Finance Capital PMC Lumpenproletarian Middle Managers) destroyed Revisionists (anti-Stagist Dengist Social Imperialists) in Class War (Nuclear Conflagration) to lay the groundwork to build...

"And who ended the Ukrainian Famine? Stalinists."

Not relevant to the preceding conversation, justing musing on general Enclave 'vibes': While I think 2nd Gen Super Mutants were poorly executed on several levels, I have always loved the idea of the Enclave excavating Mariposa, a big dig archaeological dig out in the desert. It's very "Raiders...

Yeah it's definitely the latter

They've occupied the Citadel for almost 20 years, man. They're not under a literal siege, they're fighting a protracted war. And they have a bunch of recruits. Realistically they can't be studying or shooting targets all day. It would be fine if parts of the Pentagon were disused and still in...

Fair enough, starting it with "To be fair" suggested that you were either taking issue with something or at least saying something in regards to something that had been said already.

In the Fallout 76 retroactive history, bottle caps arose as the currency by coincidence, via an entirely different (entirely contrived) mechanism. The presence or absence of the water merchants doesn't carry any water (heh) for this part of the world. Fair play

In Van Buren, despite Hoover Dam being largely cut off from contact with the rest of NCR, it still maintains an NCR identity. It didn't revert into Goofy Wasteland Town #42 as the show would have it. Because the manner of the NCR's decline in Van Buren would have been fundamentally different...

I don't think anyone was really suggesting that in this exchange, were they? Or maybe I don't understand what you mean.

Bethesda (or perhaps Bethesda Austin) did actually add a retroactive explanation that we can infer: In Fallout 76, Nuka Cola set up some promotional programme whereby bottle caps could be exchanged for goods in-kind through an automatic kiosk. The thinking goes that enough wastelanders used this...

Yeah, it would make things kind of fuzzy since it could be read as abdicating any responsibility of Wastelanders in repeating history. I don't think it has to be read that way, but it's the most apparent one and would take some real wowee writing to thread the needle of having this malign...

Meant to say "Not that it makes it THAT much better." It's better than him just phoning up someone at random, but the whole thing is stupid both in conception and presentation.

Never heard they were prohibited Josh Sawyer was asked about it once and said something to the effect of "Area 51 is actually pretty far away from Vegas proper, and Bethesda just did UFO-adjacent stuff in Mothership Zeta." That's how it was originally in 76, yes, but then they doubled down in...

Eh, would be fine for the Enclave, but I sort of like keeping the Enclave (at least in Fallout 2) as the IDEOLOGICAL fragment of the old United States, just a deranged and completely alienated kernel of the Old World. It could be interesting to hand the ECONOMIC side to a different group, and...
