Now you´re being mean.
I'm told there are nicer places to go if you so desire.

Well, TIL "nice" is an antonym to "mean", but specific enough that it is not so for "annoying", "obnoxious" or "abrasive".Who said anything about "nice"? I said abrasive, like obnoxious and annoying. Meanness isn't annoying, being obnoxious is.
Someone makes a fun comment asking where did the leather jackets even come from, and rather than everyone just happily laughing about it, a pointless argument starts.
People really need to take things less seriously here.
The sad thing is, it happened, and we can't really do much about it. We can complain, but Bethesda (and their (somehow still) loyal fans) don't care. It's just a never-ending circle of frustration. An itch that'll never really be scratched.
All we can really do is make our points, as people on this site have done constantly since 2008, explain the reasons for our points (and seriously guys, try to be less condescending when speaking to Bethesda fans. They annoy me as well, but it just makes for a rather snarky miserable atmosphere here. Honestly, at this point, if any of them start acting like assholes (as they usually do) just ignore them. Make the point, make the argument, and if you have the fatigue, wait for the next person and rinse/repeat).
The only way I can see Fallout's (true) legacy surviving is to keep making content true to it. By doing this, we can win people over. Win the argument. And every newcomer is a small victory against Bethesda's infantilisation of the series. Then in the future, when games are being analysed as something more than just entertainment, maybe then NMA will have it's own small victory as the mainstream itself starts judging Fallout 3 (and hopefully Fallout 4) more critically.
To return to the thread quickly: I think the White Knight Brotherhood of Steel bother me the most. You can have The BoS in DC for whatever bullshit reason you want, but making them the heroes of the story just ruins the game for me.

uhmmm no.... How can the Ocean be irradiated?
I just think that it wouldn't hurt the site to be less argumentative about things. It really doesn't help that people constantly throw insults at anyone who disagrees with their opinion. It's childish, and unbecoming of some of the intelligent posts I've seen on this site.
Joking about the jackets is fun. Arguing about them is pointless.
I agree, jet in Fallout 3 is really annoying. It's there simply for brand recognition, like Khan in Star Trek Into Darkness. It's pointless and only raises questions. Fans of the series will say: what's the point of that? and newcomers will say: what is jet? Really, it wouldn't have been hard AT ALL, for Bethesda to come up with another drug name.

They tried from what I read, they were going to use real drug names and got shot down.

That was "Med-X" which was initially named "morphine", and is still in the game. So, no need for Jet still. They could have continued, and simply made up more drugs, there's nothing stopping them..
