Very, very true, good point. It's like the park train at my local zoo--it's a steam locomotive that was designed and built in the 1970s. It's ridiculously efficient compared to the ones they stopped making when diesel locos came onto the scene and hardly resembles what we'd think of as a steam...

It depends on use and storage conditions and just plain 'ol dumb luck when it comes to tube tech--at least from my experience with tube amplifiers in the music biz and the tube radios my husband and I take apart (and sometimes even put back together!) for fun. I've personally seen 75-year-old...

I don't have any of the technical qualifications the asker was hoping for, but I am one of those squirrely prepper people. There are a lot of great answers here so I'll try not to duplicate. In real life, it all depends upon conditions. UV radiation breaks down non-metallic materials badly...

Yes. Transistors and semiconductors were never invented/discovered in the Fallout universe.

The NCR, Legion,Brotherhood, Powder Gangers, Great Khans, Fiends, and a dozen more I've probably forgotten fight amongst themselves constantly, and I could see the Enclave ending the infighting. Brutally--yes, but ending it. I do not have, nor have I ever entertained, any argument with this...

Well said, CerberusGate. Perhaps the Enclave's greatest crime is not dehumanizing Wastelanders, but forcing Wastelanders to dehumanize Enclave members. Meeting the Remnants did indeed serve to humanize individual Enclave members; I feel bad for having played and won against them. Winner's...

I know it's unpopular to flirt with fascism, not to mention eugenics. It depends on what your definition of "best" is. Everybody wants what they feel is "best." I just see the Enclave's potential to do good--whather or not the leadership will ever do it--and they probably will not. They have...

Good points, everybody. I am new here and really enjoying how everybody is able to discuss Fallout and world politics without devolving into cheap shots and name-calling...which puts NMA head and shoulders above many current real-life American politicians. My two cents'? Do we honestly know...

Favorite individual robot: Button Gwinnett. I find it touching that such a robot could still exist, having been so sheltered. Deputy Weld, that dean from Roosevelt Academy, and F.I.S.T.O. are hilarious. Protectrons just seem to be programmed with the best personalities. Robobrains creep me...

Oh, baby, YES! YES SERGEANT! *ahem* Sorry. Got a little carried away there.

CDEDBD ducks?

Fallout 2. New California. Navarro main base. Drill Sergeant's quarters. Bow chicka bow wow.

Sergeant Dornan! My all-time favorite Fallout character! I agree, it's so sad that so many kids will never play the classic Black Isle games. I think they were quite clever. There were so many more dialogue options, and the game didn't just tell you which option was nessecarily best...
