    What others think about the Fallout games.

    have you thought about dedicating a page of its own to this, all backed up by some webscrapey auto compile nonsense backend?

    I know this is heresy, but I like Fallout 76

    Hey, I get it, I really do. A part of me wishes I'd never played FO76 and I could continue on in ignorance and a distant loathing of it as was my stubborn way before. But, the deed is done, and my brain is at least kind enough to file the experience well away from all of my internalised fallout...

    I know this is heresy, but I like Fallout 76

    I needed to wobble my head in here, and to support OP. I too have enjoyed the process of playing Fallout 76 (with some caveat...) However, beyond the 'fun' I had with the game, upon reaching the end-game phase, I hit a wall of emptiness and my fun instantly turned into non-fun (grindy RNG...

    Fallout TV series, tell me why it will be awful/great

    https://www.theverge.com/2022/1/7/22871637/amazon-fallout-tv-show-prime-video-series-production I'm surprised this isn't on here already, or perhaps the community is talking elsewhere about it? Nonetheless, what are your thoughts on this? And tell me why Beth's abomination deserves the...

    Looking for a old fallout based pen and paper RPG

    There's also the official RPG available, and if you can look past the FO4 veneer, its system is based on the WoD D10 and IMHO, is a VERY good implementation of a 'near true' Fallout S.P.E.C.I.A.L system. ed: I forgot to mention; if you want a 'real' Fallout game, you could always just look at...

    New musical trends for Fallout

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again: The 'twee' 50's hang-up was, IMHO, an entirely American thing. A way of attempting to placate an ever more rebellious population with 'romanticised' versions of the ideal America. In my head-canon, it makes NO SENSE that music (an all cultural...

    Hello. new here and need help.

    @TorontoReign already pointed this out... And I say this as a humble citizen, of a law abiding country- the following: At this stage I'm moderately certain I've bought at least 4 copies each of Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics - and more importantly. I have "borrowed" from my peg-legged...

    [Blatant self promotion] Just starting; a live Podcast Fallout RPG

    This is a shameless self-plug (MODS, feel free to remove if this is inappropriate) I've just started a Fallout RPG game and my group has foolishly/kindly allowed me to broadcast the games as a Podcast. The game is set in Europe ( You may have seen my custom intro video posted elsewhere ) If...

    Should the Big Guns skill exist?

    Well... This is what GURPS does best, improvisation. It's in the name after all Generic Universal RolePlaying System. The 'core' rules merely exist for players to then do what they want... If you've never played it, or invested heavily into what the core rules play like, I can suggest it...

    Should the Big Guns skill exist?

    So... In all of this discussion, nobody is going to raise that Fallout, and ALL of it's primary design, is based on / taken from / inspired by GURPS. And in GURPS, guns are defined into categories, within a category a character can 'cross-over' skills at a minor disadvantage, so a guy that can...

    I made a thing... [video link]

    So, -- fun fact, my original upload was to YouTube, and it got flagged as 'hate speech' can anyone legitimately objectively tell me if I've included anything which 'promoting violence or hatred against individuals or groups' or is this just an ever more draconian YouTube crackdown?

    Share your head-cannons for Fallout

    Further headcannon, and in-keeping with the current thread of discussion... I always saw the 50's aesthetic being almost purely an American thing. A sociological / psychological ploy by the US govt' to placate their ever more upset populous, a veneer to hide over the boiling pot of social and...

    Share your head-cannons for Fallout

    Potentially unpopular opinion: Micro-electronics (transistor based) do exist in the FO universe. Rant follows, skip to bottom as to why I care about this. From Fallout 2, I never got the 'sense' that micro-electronic didn't come into mainstream use... Lots of the tech presented in that game...

    I made a thing... [video link]

    I'm just starting up a new RPG sesh with some pals and decided every Fallout game deserves a Fallout intro... so I made my own! I hope you enjoy.

    Is fallout dry?

    Hello (and a HNY to all! ::partyblower.wav:: :dance:) I thought I'd chime in with one way I see the Fallout franchise not being a dumpster fire, please bear with me. Some of this is just bullshit pouring from my idle mind. Fallout What did I like about Fallout? I liked the unnerving re-entry of...

    About 76

    Okay, actual good thing; If you buy those games from GOG / Steam ... (or already have three copies of them including the original 'big box' releases) you never need to buy Fallout 76 and support a travesty of a game and deny Bethesda a financial reward for doing bad things. <sarcasm heavily...

    Fallout 76 Patch Notes – December 11, 2018 - OMG this is hilarious

    So wait, are people still playing the B.E.T.A ? I mean, this intensity of patching surely can't be for a V1.0 retail release right?
