If Tim Cain intended for Fallout to be nothing more than a wacky parody of 50s sci-fi then he really shit the bed with Fallout 1. Good thing he left so that Fallout 2 could be closer to his original vision. Also kinda goes against his quote from twenty years ago: "My idea is to explore more of...

The talking point I’ve seen is that the location of the NCR (Shady Sands) was changed to be slightly east of where it was in the first game, so that justifies every retcon in the show. Also Super Mutants were retconned to be immortal in Fallout 2 whereas ZAX in Fallout 1 says that their life...

I’ve always interpreted the Independent Vegas ending as the Courier fighting for an… independent New Vegas. I never really understood why people think that the Courier is going to rule over Vegas him/herself. After the game ends, the Courier is just gonna fuck off, just like every Fallout...

Usually I start a new save while keeping the old one, telling myself I’ll come back to it eventually. I never do.

Just one Vault in the entire state of Nevada, huh? Funny, could’ve sworn FNV had more than one… Edit: Stupid me, thought the red marks were the vaults edit again: wait, what are the red points then?

Come on, dude, that was so obviously a joke.

Sometimes I wonder if people like Tim actually like the show or if they just have a visceral reaction against “toxic right-wing haters” and don’t want to be lumped in with them. I’ve noticed that most left-leaning people rarely seem to criticize media anymore (the minority of us here being an...

Fair enough, they were more xenophobic than I gave them credit for. I guess my point was that a lot of the groups in the game (Shady Sands, Khans, Necropolis) seem fairly distrustful of outsiders, but they lack the ability to effectively keep people from wandering into their homes. Also, the...

https://www.nma-fallout.com/threads/rewriting-fallout-new-vegas.219896/ My curiosity was piqued so I dug up the thread and… you actually didn’t, lol. Must’ve been a different thread. Still, the whole thread is so interesting, and a nice contrast to the thoughtless abomination we’re discussing here.

That was actually me, posted it in an Atomic Postman thread though, so I understand your confusion.

And if we could all just… get together and hate a little… We could hate one another… Hate our sisters and brothers in a sea of disunity

Oh yeah, definitely, I’m not trying to excuse what Bethesda has done, nor am I belittling the first game. I think the setting worked perfectly, there’s a reason why it’s captured our imaginations. Hell, the setting was literally all I knew when I first discovered the franchise through wiki...

Good point. Leonard Boyarsky was on Tim Cain’s channel somewhat recently and they talked about the development of Fallout. Apparently it was just going to be some Mad Max rip-off, but then Leonard Boyarsky was driving home one day and he had an epiphany-type moment that it would be cool if they...

Agree with the idea that the pre-war world should be left a mystery. I don’t want to derail the topic of this thread but I just want to put this out there and I don’t think it justifies its own thread: does there even really need to be a “divergence” in the Fallout universe? It’s something...

Hey now, I liked the first few episodes…

It’s just a shame that the most evil thing your war criminal Nate will be able to do is begrudgingly help people while being a dick about it.

Yeah, they called it the Resource Wars, not the Poorly-Thought-Out Social Experiments Wars.

Do you mean 2277? I’ve seen people say that that blackboard timeline is actually saying that the NCR was nuked sometime after 2277, because it shows 2277 and then an arrow towards the mushroom cloud. Which begs the question, what was significant about the year 2277, and why wasn’t its...

Your recent absence from these discussions has not gone unnoticed. I’ve been looking forward to hearing your thoughts because you’re generally one of the more intelligent and level-headed people here. As far as what other people on the internet think, Fallout Reddit has been praising this HARD...
