Does Fallout have too many guns?
I just watched Mad Max 2 (The Road Warrior) and I realized something like this, I know the subject has been approached before but still.
In F1 (and I quote) “Ammo grew on trees and fell from the sky”. Strangely guns were actually less common than the ammunition they used.
In F2 it started out great, at first you had no guns at all, the first gun you get is often the pipe rifle in Vic's place which is also cool because the pipe rifle is a load of rubbish and didn't break the atmosphere but as soon as you hit the Den again guns and bullets were abundant.
In F3 its more of the same. Right from the word go you have guns and bullets readily available to you and the best thing is if you run low the game gives you more! I am referring to dynamic re-supply type thing they have going on here. I have used mele weapons twice ever in F3. Once in the vault every time where you beat the crap out of the tunnel snakes and once when I found the ripper and decided to go on a bit of a wild on in Canterbury Commons. - Big gripe; you can't kill children!
I much prefer the idea of The Road Warrior, in that film there are about 4 shots fired, ever from Max's saw off shotgun and one of them is a dud! The rest of the weapons in the movie are either various stabbing, clubbing and slicing tools or crossbows.
Which do you think is more believable? I don't know exactly how abundant guns really are in the USA (TV would have us believe that every man and his dog packs a magnum). What do you guys think? If it really came down to it would there be guns everywhere or would it be more native style a la Road Warrior?
