Imagining this would have happened in the post-Van Buren Fallout 4 when the Legion was the big bad

Basically just a Fargo reference I think.

I don't think this particular criticism of nu-Fallout really holds for the show, the Brotherhood is portrayed in its most negative light in the entire series. They're religious fanatics (and they do Christian-style religious ceremonies now so they're hitting you over the head with it as opposed...

Oh, must have been somewhere else, sorry to send you on a wild goose chase. But that was a great thread.

Ah, apologies for the misattribution. Well I'm sure you'll be happy to see that it made a fair impression on me. Thinking about it I might have expressed my view of why the vending machines sort of work with the themes of the series in that same thread. Too lazy to check though.

No big disagreements or thoughts worth commenting, just want to remark that it's good to see you on the forum again, Jogre

It's a perfectly nice idea, but 1) Saying it's canon gets more mouth breathers to watch the show and 2) He already said it was canon, if he reverses course he'd look like a retard, so he'll just stick to it. And why shouldn't he? 90% of the viewers won't care, and 5% will just bend the lore over...

That would be even stupider and much more annoying to me

Well of course the 3D Fallouts, with their overreliance on Vaults as starting locations, quest-relevant locations, and generic dungeons has inflated the company's presence and relevance in the minds of a certain set of players. It was a (stupid) inevitability that it would reach the apotheosis...

Just saw this again, and it does remind me of something I was thinking of while watching the program: Very irrititating that all of the executives spoke in a soy modern business jargon way, and not really in the manner that mid-20th century businessmen spoke. This is a little hypocritical of...

There's no fundamental problem with Sole Survivor being a war criminal. Indeed, given the conduct of the United States pre-War, and the general conduct of mass-conscript armies in total wars or aggressive wars, it would be silly to have ever considered it an outside chance. Regardless of how he...

No idea sorry, wasn't really that into the mechanics side of things.

My impression was that most of them said how bad the Arthur Maxson Brotherhood was is overblown, but that's just what I've seen.

They just skimmed the wiki looking for companies, checked the abstract/idiot box, and put it in the show, all the while patting themselves on the back for all the research they did. Yeah it's pretty insane they didn't use Poseidon. My guess is because they're going for some childish power level...

Gosh... what's so crazy about this to me is that, independent of it being 'Fallout', anyone would consider it a good show in every way. I can't stress enough, it's a pretty bad show just taken on its own merits. How were people entertained enough by this to be able to justify wasting time to...

I've been in a "vault" of my own these past few days, trying to avoid any and all discussion about the show. I really wanted to come into it fresh, to see it for myself and address it on its own merits. In terms of lore: I'm not the one for the edgy gamer NMA-tard verbiage, but there's not...

My vote's for the Fountain of Dreams. And it's a good pull. Though I don't really like the name "Foreverglades", it feels like you were too much trying to find a pun.

putting aside the radio music (which is great), I think the main/ambient soundtrack is quite underrated

Yes there is a state called Maxson, but at least in Chris Avellone's opinion the state is just named after Roger Maxson. Lost Hills and the Brotherhood at the time of Fallout 2 were still very much independent. I think leaning on the religious aspect is not a bad idea, because the fact of the...

I'm averse to the notion of any kind of X_claw (like the Hairy Deathclaw) for reasons concurrent with your objections to the Gatorclaw specifically. Agreed. Not only is their radiation, but there are also other mutagens out there, both man made for laboratory/genetic engineering purposes and...
