I for one advocate communist revolutions whenever possible. Nothing kills more communists than a good commie revolution and the party cleansing that inevitably follows. Eh, but most of those were communists, so it doesn't really count.

Thing is, though, the show doesn't think that, it's just you thinking way too hard about a show that is the equivalent of dangling keys for Fallout 3 and 4 fans :D But I know what you mean, as I said before I also think way too hard about the scientific aspects because that's just what I do.

It's kinda pointless to think too hard about all the politics in the show, because the writers certainly didn't, either.

It's a writing problem. Pipers article is an ending slide, but if they make it playable after the end, the world should reflect your actions. Sure, have synth patrols. Make it so you open up the Institute more so that they actively help. But the thing is that you can't really change the amount...

It's also their goal to remain perpetually underground, but if they win they will continue dicking around the surface world despite not having interests there. You're also made leader of the Institute but you have zero control over what they do. You can't tell them to stop wasting energy on...

Funny enough, the wiki also mentions that the Institute, even after 200 years of research, still considers cold fusion impossible. That is, of course, now because Vault-Tec buried the research, even when done independently on the other side of the country, to win capitalism. The lore on nuclear...

I think at most the surrounding landscape could be generated with handmade important locations, but I think its better to just go thr classic fallout way and do everything in individual maps with high detail. No need for compression of the world to walkable distances.

Don't call it flashback then, just have the first scene of each episode to be a pre-war segment and the rest to be post-war. Kinda like they already did with the Ghoul, except make it a story that actually goes somewhere. Or better yet, don't do pre-war stuff.

Why the need to have characters still alive after 200 years? If you wanna have pre-war scenes (dunno why to begin with), have them with unrelated characters and have the post-war characters find their corpses or some holotapes. Have flashbacks tell a story pre-war that in the end ties in with...

My take is that they had a large fission infrastructure that was relying on a dwindling supply of uranium, and the microfusion technology came too late to fix the world. Even if the technology couldn't be made larger than a backpacksized 60 kW unit, those could be potentially produced en masses...

Gecko was clearly a fission reactor, albeit a scifi styled one with lots of nonsense in it. In my interpretation of the world of Fallout, large scale fusion reactors didn't exist. I'll go deeper into it tonight when I have some time.

Who, Vault-Tec? I mean, they're culture warriors alright, but by that reading so would be the Legion. Wouldn't call Vault-Tec to be particularly "woke" or related to DEI, either, unless you're using those words in a manner I'm unfamiliar with.

Critical Drinker is a character played for the laughs, of course. The guy behind it is a decently accomplished author, although he is scottish and thus likely does drink too much anywah. And well, he has a shitload of people watching his videos. I guess what many people like is that he isn't...

Critical Drinker always points out when there are diverse characters and frequently harps on about media trying to convey "THE MESSAGE" instead of trying just write goos stuff. He's not wrong to some extent, but also goes on about that way too much.

Indeed. Caesar is a pretty well thought out villain that in the context of the game world kinda makes sense. Its realistic that people would follow him and also that some people under his rule are pretty content. He's not a villain that is just evil. His plans are pretty damn evil, but it takes...

Lee Moldaver will come back as a synth, she had her mind uploaded as a precaution ready to go as a synth.

CT has established by now that he mostly gives high scores to own the chuds.

It's 700k during the time of Fallout 2, not NV.

But didn't you earlier try to argue that Shady Sands isn't even the capital anymore and it moved prior to the nuking, and that's why the NCR isn't actually gone? Which then shifted to the NCR splintered into several people claiming rightful authority? Now it's "NCR is dead and here's why that's...

Women aren't safe anywhere else. The Legion isn't supposed to be the permanent solution, it's the first conquering step to unify and pacify the wasteland before actual civilisation is reestablished. Caesar wants the people to be hard to survive, but ultimately he doesn't see the Legion as the...
