    How excited are you for Fallout 4?

    Considering that Bethesda already effectively threw continuity out the window and just went with whatever they felt like, it seems that shoehorning is the official story writing policy for Bethesda's Fallout Team.

    How come Enclave soldiers don't clad themselves in red, white, and blue?

    The above sounds like the sort of odd thinking that originates out of Bethesda. However, the use of a subdued American flag on the right shoulder and stenciled on branch of service on the left side of the chest would definitely not be a harmful addition.

    Is it possible to build a Fallout Vault with today's technology?

    It's potentially possible to build substantial civil defense bunkers which could be used to house personnel for extended periods of time, however the biggest problem you quickly run into is what in popular culture is referred to as "cabin fever", in which though you could in effect for at least...

    Have you moved on from Fallout?

    Though I still enjoy a playthrough of Fallout's 1 and 2, and to a lesser extent Tactics or New Vegas, I find that for the most part Fallout has lost its magic for me. Bethesda's: Fallout 3 really killed Fallout for me, and though New Vegas was an interesting attempt to stop the franchise from...

    Favorite Towns/Cities in RPGS?

    Santa Monica and Downtown L.A. in Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, I found always stood out as being absolutely excellent locations, where the city felt vibrant and alive, not just a bunch of set pieces to walk by. Also Detroit from Deus Ex: Human Revolution

    How excited are you for Fallout 4?

    Now if Fallout 4 could be something similar to Metro: 2033 or Metro: Last Light in the story telling department, while going with the play style of Fallout 3: Van Buren then I'd be highly excited for the product, but more than likely it'll just be another rehash of Bethesda's: Fallout 3 with...

    Internet Moderators: Giving status to those who have none in the real world!

    It's interesting, with the exception of this website which actually seems for the most part highly tolerant of rather unorthodox behavior by many of its posters, most internet forums seem to be under the dictatorial rule of individuals who for whatever reason have not made great strides in their...

    Hard West - a weird west tactical game

    This looks highly impressive and seems to capture the Wild West vibe pretty effectively...but a few questions or concerns: 1) What "year" is the game set in....(ie: the high point of the Old West or it's declining moments) 2) When you say weird West, do you mean something more akin to...

    Should there be guns in Fallout?

    The only change I would make in regards to Fallout and firearms would be the implementation of many more older and simpler model weapons(such as for instance the inclusion of the M1 Garand in FNV), or for instance the Sten in FO: Tactics

    John Cassidy: Arms Dealer

    After the destruction of the Enclave and the sacking of Navarro, the paychecks stopped coming and for an arms dealer, the combination of disgruntled soldiers and large stockpiles of weapons lead to the hottest time in arms dealing...

    Create your own Fallout nation!

    The above commentary sounds like the rantings of a crack addict, and at the very least it's incredibly boring. No one honestly cares that you were banned from Nation States for being a jackass and frankly, the fact that you had to go back there to troll, shows either you're an immature child or...

    How do you think the apocalypse would be... by analyzing pop-culture depictions

    More than likely the Post Apocalypse would look more like the Former Yugoslavia after it's conflict, Iraq between OIF 1-3, or present day Somalia, Liberia or Afghanistan.

    F1/F2 remake?

    I will agree that this is a great idea, however due to the way that mature content seems to be handled by those who make electronic entertainment in this day and age, I would have to assume that their version of reading would be the over gratuitous insertion of foul language, mixed with choices...

    Armed Forces of the NCR

    A few things: 1) The population figure of 700,000 is based on Fallout 2(Fallout Bible). Now considering that Fallout: New Vegas takes place around 40 years from the events of Fallout 2, and not to mention that the NCR absorbed many more territories in the intervening years, it's quite plausible...

    Armed Forces of the NCR

    Since the NCR's Armed Forces are at best poorly defined and tend to contradict each other(see Fallout 2 vs FNV), I drew up a very basic model which would more accurately represent the NCR's military. NCR Department of Defense(Overall command authority of the services): NCR Armed...

    F1/F2 remake?

    Bethesda's Fallout-Doom was made with the express purpose of expanding upon the player base. The problem with making a product more "generic" and expanding its sales potential is that the product then loses much in the transformation. In the case of Fallout, much of the moral gray (ie: the...

    Things that Fallout 3 did right!

    The only concept that came out of Fallout 3 that was relatively interesting was the idea of the Talon Corporation fighting for an unknown benefactor to recover something of old world importance.

    Fallout's Depiction of the Military

    You're correct that the Army does call them Fort's but Soldiers will say "On Post", "Off Post" etc.

    F1/F2 remake?

    Considering that the Classic Fallout's would get dumbed down to fit the needs of teenagers with attention deficit disorder, I see no need to wreck two classic games.
