    Has the Fallout series ended for you, Bethesda/Fo3 haters?

    The Fallout franchise died when Fallout 3: Van Buren was cancelled.

    Fallout's Depiction of the Military

    Though Fallout (1,2, Fallout 3: Van Buren, FNV and Tactics) does a decent job of depicting a wide variety of firearms, it falls down heavily when making reference to the military(structure, organization and operations). The first big thing I've noticed is that the Fallout series tend to have a...

    Tell us your favourite protagonist

    To be honest it would have to be "The Prisoner" as he's the only character who's story could be whatever or whoever you wish him to be.

    Is it wrong to compare Fallout 1+2 with 3 in terms of story?

    It's impossible to compare Classic Fallout to Bethesda's Fallout-Doom, simply because it would be like comparing a professional acting company to a high school play.

    Tunnel snakes as a major faction

    Considering how poorly written the characters of the Vault 101 were in the first place, and the fact that all the members(outside of their incompetent leader) were killed in the rather pointless Vault Civil War, I can't see much future in turning them into anything other than a really bad...

    Lonesome road worst DLC?

    Ulysses honestly just seemed like a throw away villain, who though had potential ended up instead being somewhere between Bethesda Villainy and Emo Super Villainy. Either way, the character could have taken the series in a whole new direction or at least added to the outcome between the...

    Wheres the chosen one during the events of new vegas?

    Well considering that the NCR appears to have annexed New Arroyo and just about all the lands present in both Fallout 1 and 2, then either The Chosen One is a Senator for New Arroyo or he retired shortly before the annexation by NCR and is now relegated to history.

    Your favourite New Vegas character?

    From the original game, it would have to be Caesar, while in the DLC's Dean Domino.

    The Guns and Ammo Thread

    A question for any of the self-styled firearms historians on this thread: Offhand and I know that they're extremely rare, but did any of the War Aid 1911's(re-chambered to .455) ever make it across the Atlantic once the war ended, or did they like many other firearms after the end of the war...

    Amata

    She was pretty much a pointless character who could have been used as a good story ark to take on the despotic ways of her father and become a nemesis to the player in later sections of the game, however instead she's basically just a pointless place filling character who doesn't really add...

    How many times has the Enclave been blown up?

    The Government Remnant is only shown in Fallout 2, and referenced as being pretty much a shambles to even being disbanded by Fallout 3 V.B.

    Who will the next big villains be?

    I would think that the Steel Plague or the Circle of Steel would make for an excellent antagonist, simply because we've already seen the BOS basically all but pushed into seclusion after their defeat in the Brotherhood-NCR war, it would only make sense that rogue and hostile elements would...

    Would anyone take issue with the Enclave in future games?

    I don't understand the obsession with bringing back the Government Remnant again and again. With the loss of the Poseidon Oil Rig, the organization's back was broken and wholly ignoring the silliness of Bethesda's Fallout 3, it was mentioned in Fallout 3(V.B.) that the organization had pretty...

    Did James have to kill himself in Fallout 3?

    This pretty much sums up what the authors were going for, however due to the fact that the character never really does much with his screen time to endear himself to the player, the scene is mostly wasted.

    The purpose of the Press Gang in Fallout 2

    So I was always curious who were the Press Gang hanging out around San Francisco working for? Were they unknowingly working for the Federal Government(incorrectly called Enclave by the good people at Bethesda), attempting to capture subjects for their modified F.E.V. experiments or perhaps they...

    Impressions thread for negative impressions

    I think Fallout-Doom, is one of the few products out there that actually might make television programs produced in the old German Democratic Republic(DDR) entertaining by comparison. The problem with Bethesda's Fallout 3, lies in the fact that the writers and producers had a rather vague...

    culture

    The problem with exploring the Pre-War world of Fallout is that the timeline of Fallout is so ambiguous and often times contradictory that creating a coherent timeline would require a full reboot of the franchise. After all, if Fallout were an extension of the 50's(culturally) as Bethesda would...

    Researching into arguments for the continuation of the Enclave.

    I don't believe that the map actually documented installations under U.S. Government Control, but instead I believe that it was a "situation room" style map, which displayed "events" occurring across the world with potentially other "modern" factions similar to the US Government Remnant.

    Things that Fallout 3 did right!

    Considering that the United States depicted in the Fallout Universe has a mentality stuck somewhere between 1946-1960, it's very easily conceivable that there would not be the level of integration or even ethnic mixing that occurred in the United States of our timeline.

    Improving Fo1-Fo2-FoT

    Though fighting through the nostalgia, if the games were to get a face-lift I would have done the following differently: Fallout 1: I think with Killap's Patch(I believe this to be the restoration patch), a lot was done to restore much of the missing content however it would have been...
