I don't understand why I hear this take every so often. Not claiming one extreme is better than the other, but fascism is conservative. Look up any definition for it. I think people call fascism socialist because of the Nazi(National Socialist German Workers' Party). Apparently the party had...

I'd tend to agree with this take. I was just thinking about the existence of radscorpions in the Capital Wasteland. Not that scorpions don't exist in the East, but it's just lazy. Fallout 1/2 obviously had radscorpions because they're in a desert. Bethesda was more focused on capitalizing on...

Bethesda wouldn't understand that nuance though, which is why it's still possible. Personally I think it'll have something more to do with House since he was in the flashback. I doubt the writers/Bethesda want to mention the courier.

The main value of Fallout 3 is that it's an open world experience, not just locations interconnected with loading screens between them(except for indoors). It was still a fairly novel concept in the early 2000s. There's a limit to texture quality on that scale. It's always easier to take more...

I'm kind of politically blind when enjoying media, so I haven't given much thought to whether Fallout games are left or right on the spectrum. If I had to take a second I would think that a criticism on militarism, rampant greed, weaponized patriotism, and xenophobia was inherently liberal...

I was, in fact! It's not nice to judge a book by it's green tinted grey rocks. You all act like the original games were graphical eye-candy. They looked old when they came out, although I can't deny the style and aesthetic choices. The fact that some of us youngsters can go back in time and...

You just have to turn off your brain like the writers must have. Don't consider it Fallout and just enjoy watching a dumb show with someone you care about. Time spent with family is infinitely more valuable than lore arguments.

That's a good point. They were profiting from the resource wars, could have sold the solution at any price they wanted and make even more money, or they could... destroy the world so they could do science experiments. Character/faction motivations are definitely my biggest problem with the...

It's not a weird pull at all if you think about it based on how the writing has been so far and how they handle Fallout references. They're just pulling names and ideas to tie in New Vegas. The last shot of the series is of the bad guy walking towards Vegas. The Repconn HQ and Big MT are iconic...

(Spoilers) The writers definitely made it a point to show iconic Fallout imagery regardless of meaning sadly. There's a scene where literal lead farmers(farming lead with metal detectors) use two perfectly intact sets of NCR ranger veteran armor when they go out farming. I guess they found those...

Yes I came back because of the TV show(The cattle drive is here!). I was interested to see how the veteran fans would take the new series. I haven't finished it yet myself. Personally I have mixed feelings, but overall it seems pretty entertaining. I'd give it a 7/10 so far. A lot of small...

Haven't been back here in quite some time. It's funny, and also charming, that it hasn't changed at all! CT Phipps and the old die-hards still bickering about differences between newer fans and older fans. Does everyone involved just really enjoy having a Fallout themed internet flame war? Kind...

Your counter argument is impressively fleshed out as always. I don't have the patience to be so thorough, so props to you. I suppose I was grasping at straws with many of those settlements, although I would say that they all do contain some measure of darkness. I would also say that any dark...

Megaton has a live atom bomb in the center of town and a strange man who solicits you to set it off. Arefu has a "vampire" problem and many of the townspeople are dead. The Republic of Dave is ruled by a misogynistic, self-centered, self-appointed despot. Little Lamplight kicks out members that...

Is there something wrong with liking more apocalyptic post-apoc? So what if this person likes a more gloomy atmosphere? Are people not allowed to like something just because you like something else better? I really don't get the hate that post is getting. It is one of the more respectable and...

I think some of the NPCs involved in the "Legend of the Star" quest are like this. After Tomas and Jacklyn fight(the guy and the purple-haired girl with star caps), the surviving one usually runs off into the distance. This event usually happens to me right outside of Nipton at the same place...

I'm back, tiny thieves. Fear my black power armor! Wait, where are my caps? Next: 10mm pistol

Don't forget about the talking mole rats.

I think you stretched the Fallout 3 image for the comparison between it and Oblivion. Not really fair to compare their graphical quality while showing an improperly sized image.

I'm mostly interested in co-op games. Here's what I would be willing to play: 7 Days To Die Ark: Survival Evolved Astroneer Don't Starve Together The Forest Garry's Mod Left 4 Dead 2 Overwatch Space Engineers Starbound Terraria Unturned We Need To Go Deeper
