    Tim Cain discusses Fallout Inspirations

    I really like this discussion. Some good points: * Vault-Tec was based on every dirty super rich defense contractor * Mindless ghouls were called Walkers before the Walking Dead. * Brotherhood of Steel from Canticle of Leibowitz, duh * The GECK was a happy accident. * FEV had multiple creators

    So just so we're clear [Institute's plan]

    The Institute's evil plan is to expand underground and ignore the surface with their unlimited fusion energy allowing them to enjoy a life of luxury with their robot slaves and super-tech? I mean, that's actually a practical plan. Not a particularly world changing one but it works. Why won't...

    My home campaign's Brotherhood of Steel

    I thought people would like to read the primer I prepared for my non-Fallout players for my campaign. It's not one hundred percent accurate but is designed for the 30 years after the bomb game that I'm doing in Tampa, Florida. The Brotherhood of Steel Roger Maxson was a US Army Ranger when he...

    The Wastelanders discussion thread

    This is a thread for discussing "Wastelanders" as an expansion for Fallout 76 and what it brought to the table and what it failed to do in terms of correcting the games flaws. Also, the elements of the game that it changed as well as plot. I finished the main plot, the Companion plots, most of...

    Ten Reasons Why Fallout 4 is worse than Fallout 3

    I've mentioned this many times but I generally rank things very well. Warmed over Fallout is better than 90% of all games and I am an easy to please kind of guy. Usually, I can find a lot to like about a game and I am happy to discuss how much I enjoyed X, Y, and Z. That's the case with Fallout...

    The Guy in the Corgi Shirt (Me) and Storyrant review Fallout: The Series

    I thought you guys might enjoy a discussion of the show via video. We're both post-apocalypse authors so it's interesting to get that unique perspective.

    I hate the lack of response for the Settlers quest

    I ended up splitting the gold between the Settlers and the Raiders both but neither particularly reacts to the events. I feel like they needed to trigger a response to that story. At least a little more aftermath.

    Fallout 3 - a lot deeper world building?

    Inspired by the discussion in the Todd Howard thread, thank you @R.Graves , @Traeger91. and @Norzan I decided to do this thread discussing the ups and downs of Fallout 3. I think there's a lot more going on in Fallout 3 than is typically given credit for and I think that it is a game that...

    My complaints about the series

    I grade on the balance. Some idiots who I consider to have absolutely worthless shit opinions believe that numerical reviews should represent a aggregate of how good something is with several separate categories. Like if you had a video game with 10 Visuals, 10 Gameplay, and 1 Story that it...

    Jimquisition on the TV show (AKA "Shady Sands' Fate")

    I mean, I hate everything they say about everything (especially Fallout 3) but I thought I'd share it anyway. Video Bizarrely, this is probably their best video I've seen because it actually is solely about the Shady Sands issue rather than....everything else they usually go into. Edit: It...

    Todd Howard suggests that they'll start on Fallout 5 soon

    https://www.yahoo.com/tech/todd-howard-says-bethesdas-trying-184256221.html It's been a decade since Fallout 4, and 13 years since The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim. Since then Bethesda hasn't been sitting on its hands, with Fallout 76 releasing in 2018 and of course the studio's main focus for...

    So if Caesar had won, what would happen next?

    Say that the Courier allows a Legion victory and they manage to get to New Vegas and establish their dominion over the place. Is Caesar's plan nonsense from here? Even if they remove his brain tumor? Or does he have a chance to conquer NCR and implement his dialectic.

    When villains are wrong in the franchise

    One thing I really like about Fallout as a franchise it's villains tend to be on the more intelligent side than is typical in video games. It also makes the point that just because they're genius masterminds, they're not necessarily RIGHT. Indeed, pointing out where their logic is askew is one...

    I finished my first campaign in the Fallout RPG

    Just thought I'd share that: * It's set in Tampa, Florida * It's set 30 years after the apocalypse. * It has Hubologists due to the presence of Scientology in the RL version. They have inexplicable access to Zetan technology. * The Enclave was supposed to evacuate from Cape Canaveral to...

    Vault-Tec's Plan *SPOILERS*

    The most controversial part of the show aside from the destruction of Shady Sands is the revelation that Vault-Tec (either acting as a proxy of the Enclave or the predecessor to the Enclave) was responsible for starting the Great War or were planning on doing so. I'm inclined to agree with Tim...

    I enjoy when the game updates mock the base game

    One of the jokes I appreciate is if you finish the base game before doing the Settlers, Responders, and Brotherhood of Steel expansions. Conversations tend to go like this. "I'm a Responder too!" "Huh? I've never heard of you and I know all of the survivors." **** "I passed the Brotherhood...

    New Vegas writers were told to dial back the Enclave

    It's weird because fans have traditionally assumed the "Enclave is nothing but seven old guys and a former child soldier" was a artistic choice by Obsidian trying to make a point that they got their asses stomped in Fallout 2 and shouldn't exist anymore. Sort of like if you did the Galactic...
