    Midwestern Power Armor should've been "T-60"

    The valve-powered computers are due to how the world of Fallout is based on how the people of the 50s envisioned the future. They didn't really know transistors and miniaturisation yet, so they thought computers, while becoming immensely powerful, would always be huge mainframe-type machines, or...

    Midwestern Power Armor should've been "T-60"

    I'd argue that, at least for the pre-war stuff, "Jetsons" is exactly the look they should go for. It's the quintessential "World of Tomorrow" view of the future they had in the 50s, which is what Fallout is set in. But I do agree that there should be more Mad Max, as Fallout also basically had...

    Chris Avellone examines the Fallout TV Series

    Seriously, how can someone say something this controversial yet so brave?

    Fallout LORE is far from being perfect

    My personal take on that is yeah, their technology was overall too inefficient to run on the limited resources of uranium (consider also that Fallout runs on the assumptions of the 1950s, and uranium was thought to be a lot more scarce then), oil was running out, and fusion was not yet available...

    Chris Avellone examines the Fallout TV Series

    No, it's just becoming a meme to pretend that Nate "The Rake" was some sort anti-leaf extremist who only had the motivation to kill more Canadians even throughout Fallout 4. Which suddenly makes the game a lot more fun.

    Master

    Also, didn't the Master experiment with splicing animals and humans together as well? That's where the centaurs came from. Surely he'd be interested in a genetics lab vault.

    EFAP on Fallout

    I think "THE MESSAGE" guy didn't comment on it because it all didn't feel that much on the nose. He mostly comments on this sort of stuff when it feels it's forced in and makes the story worse. Here it doesn't really add or detract anything since it's all in there without specific purpose. Like...

    Midwestern Power Armor should've been "T-60"

    I think that's what happened. They wanted to add a new, better, cooler power armor with a higher number (but looking like their own design) and also have it in their pre-war promo material. They wanted "their" power armor to be the pinnacle of pre war power armor technology.

    Netanyahu wanted by the ICC for warcrimes

    It's funny how nobody mentions that there is also a warrant for the Hamas leader. It's just posturing, really. Nobody will be arrested (well, Sinwar probably will be).

    Midwestern Power Armor should've been "T-60"

    T-60 should have been a BOS-made upgrade of T-45 suits, since they look so similar. But no, Bethesda needed their "trademark" power armor to be pre-war so it could be in the pre-war scenes, of course.

    The Obligatory "What are you listening to" Thread

    I've been listening to the new song that Orgone released, ahead of their new album. The ten years since the last album and the two or so years since the first announcement of this have not been wasted in the slightest. Already my album of the year.

    TV Series Retcon Thread

    I said nothing about realism, I said something about characterisation. House in NV often talks about probabilities, predictions, and calculations. It's his big thing. But the first thing he says in the show is that he doesn't deal in probabilities, he wants certainty. Also, sure, his insider...

    TV Series Retcon Thread

    It was also super in-character for the guy who was all about probabilities in NV to be "Uuuuh don't give me probabilities gimme certainty".

    TV Series Retcon Thread

    Dunno, the T-51 looks visually quite different from the T-45, and the T-60 looks more like a beefier T-45 than a T-51. Maybe the T-51 was the proper power armor, but then they went and tried for cheaper mass production with the T-60 and took many elements from the T-45, including bad welds. The...

    TV Series Retcon Thread

    There is still a bit of a gap between "parody of a greedy defense contractor" and "nigh omnipotent company that controls the fate of the world and who does shit so evil it isn't even cartoonish anymore". Like, a parody of a greedy defense contractor will do everything to get a contract, they...
