    Role of GECK

    Water Chips weren't designed to work on that large of a scale, which is why the devs opted to employ a GECK. The real question is why not just use the GECK on a plot of land as opposed to cannibalizing one for the project. And suspension of disbelief is all well and good until you consider...

    The real issues with Fallout 3, in my opinion.

    JOHNATHAN Maxson is, however, and I think that's where MY confusion came into play... When I made that comment I was skimming the entires, not paying great attention to the niggly little details. That and I was tired and more than a little bored. Ah, well.

    The real issues with Fallout 3, in my opinion.

    Hell, who said I was trying to endear anyone to my arguments? I hate people who think they're superior because they know more about a fictional setting than someone else. I'm stating flaws in the logic and storytelling and he's arguing semantics. When he stopped doing that, I stopped being a...

    The real issues with Fallout 3, in my opinion.

    Squire Maxson was sent to the Citadel after Lyons went AWOL, since it's described as 'recently'. Maxson would have noticed something was amiss, I would imagine, and contacted the Elders, including the information about the Outcasts. For that matter, his MOM would want to know what was going on...

    The real issues with Fallout 3, in my opinion.

    Fair enough on the first point, and agreed on the second. Doesn't explain how someone on the East Coast came up with the same thing, named it the same thing when the knowledge died with Myron and, possibly, the Fallout 2 PC.

    The real issues with Fallout 3, in my opinion.

    Decent point, for once. However, I might argue that Rothchild, being a scientist and not an Elder, wouldn't know the real reason why comms were severed. It also doesn't explain why the Outcasts haven't informed the Brotherhood and requested an Evac or a contingent to deal with Lyons, or why...

    Tactics. The MidWest Brotherhood. Chicago. Fine. You know more about the lore than I do. My point stands.

    The real issues with Fallout 3, in my opinion.

    Like I said, it's more of a recap/retelling than a true sequel, and that's one of the reasons. As for the GECK, it doesn't have to work in a huge area, it just has to start the process; look at Vault City. It STILL makes more sense to just use it, rather than going through with dad's plan, for...

    The real issues with Fallout 3, in my opinion.

    You're being a prat, you know that? I said, I'm not using the bible or wiki, I'm using the facts I remember. So shove it. What the Hell does IIRC mean? I'm not going to even go into the first two since they're simple fictional geographical mistakes. As for the last two... Where does it...

    The real issues with Fallout 3, in my opinion.

    If all they were eating was meat they'd be dead of scurvy if they shouldn't already be dead of the radiation. Why didn't the Enclave just use the GECK, then?

    The real issues with Fallout 3, in my opinion.

    Too big of a post, number one, to go in a pre-existing thread; two, I intend to alter it as things occur to me. Three, where do you think I'm wrong? I'm not trying to start an argument, I just really wanna know if I've gotten something wrong or missed somethign that would make one of my points...

    The real issues with Fallout 3, in my opinion.

    This is an active list, that will be updated as I see fit. If you agree, great. If not, tell me why. Please. I wanna see if my opinions are shared or reviled. Please note, my dates and years will not be perfect, and don't try to argue with me about that point because I'm using memories from the...
