In what way (if any) has playing fallout changed your life

Totally not a mutant
Not very significant, but my I taught my friends how to play Caravan and it's become a staple on game nights now. They still don't know it's from a video game.
 
Fallout 3 taught me that date rape is ok so long as it's a woman doing the raping. You get good karma to boot.
 
- Fo1-Fo2 raised my RPG standards, got me more interested in post-apocalyptic worlds, and TB games.
- I guess Fo1 and Fo2 can teach us that being human can have a much wider meaning, even if many players missed the concept.

In Rivet city, one girl can hire you to drug a guy so he has sex with her instead of becoming a priest.
 
Made me dislike fantasy RPGs up until I stumbled upon The Witcher series.
 
Made me realise that the very petty standard of 'games should have a proper fucking armour system' is too much to ask for.

I honestly cannot think of more than 10 games with actual fucking armour mechanics, the best one being Dwarf Fortress of course.

You'd think with 100 bazillion dollars, EA could get TitanFall to have a fucking armour system, but nope, more armour just=more HP in such fucking games.

I love it when you can literally shoot a giant 20 foot mecha to pieces with a pellet gun.

You need memetic crits to do that in fallout...
 
One way the Fallout series changed my life is how it solidified my interest in the post-apocalyptic genre. It lead me to watch films like A Boy and His Dog and The Road.
 
Well the first two games are what eventually solidified PC as my gaming platform of choice. Haven't looked back or regretted it.
 
It opened my horizon to video games that weren't Nintendo.

From middle school until sophomore year of HS, I was playing LoZ, Mario Kart 7, Pokemon, etc.
Started with New Vegas as my first Fallout; now I'm playing more horror/action/adventure/FPS titles.
It changed my outlook on video games a lot.

Fallout was also my first plunge into the post-apocalyptic/dystopia genre. Ever since then, I've read science fiction/dystopia like "The Machine Stops" and "By The Waters of Babylon"
And now I love the Mad Max trilogy.
 
Hmmm, I guess Fallout was also the first game I played, where you can actually talk to people, and get bonuses and even avoid conflict with your words.

That was quite a surprise when I realised being a dick to people can make them hostile, or make them ignore you.

+1

I rarely play a heavily modded game until TTW and skyrim. And now, my GF said my game looks more porn than real porn..........

And also, Fallout 4 teach me one thing: Never pre-order, even if it is just a $30 DLC pass........

same

i remember reading something about westerns in a film book. It said that westens are interesting because they contain all the history of human civilazation. So you have, for example, railroad and guns and modern settlements as well as tribes, ancient weaponry and even prehistorik-like creatures ( buffaloes ) all together, and as a result the world feels timeless. In the post apocalypric genre, and especially in fallout, you get an extended version of this. It has the future, the present and the past all mixed together and it's all made out of conflict ( war ) . So it's very cool.

Yeah fcking seasson pass. I will never buy a season pass not knowing what it will include. I did buy the BF1 season pass but they told what you are going to get so i felt pretty good about it. And the frist DLC is actually decent probably better than the base maps.

But with fo4 there was no plan with DLC. So much was just wasted cosmetic stuff like wtf. You would expect Bethesda to do quest stuff right ? The wasteland workshop DLC where worse than the horse armour DLC but a country fucking mile. PC had mods that where literally better and added more items to build with like WTF. The wasteland workshops where some of the dumbest stupidest bullshit DLC i have ever seen in my life. And the put the price up of the seasson pass like WTF
 
Fallout 4 had some of the most comedically depressing DLC I have ever seen.

They did this...

-Make season pass

-Make shit DLC

-Increase season pass price, making people think they'd release super awesome DLC after doing so to justify the price rise

-Make like 1-2 more DLC which are shit.

-Stop making DLC.

They literally tricked retards into buying thin air.
 
You where paying over the odds for nuka world. When the only worth while DLC was far harbor but that had already been released
