Tim Cain discusses Fallout Inspirations

[CT Phipps]

I really like this discussion.



Some good points:

* Vault-Tec was based on every dirty super rich defense contractor
* Mindless ghouls were called Walkers before the Walking Dead.
* Brotherhood of Steel from Canticle of Leibowitz, duh
* The GECK was a happy accident.
* FEV had multiple creators

Yes, he can't figure out who actually came up with FEV and thought he did but his fellow developers all claim they came up with it separately.

Ah, you mean the writing staff behind the games. I thought it was about ingame world which would be weird.
