    Fallout 76

    "Hey, West Virginia wasn't bombed that much, let's rebuild the country there. By bombing it to death." I remember when Fallout was about the horrors of nuclear wars. Not about the "fun" of it.

    Caesar-Followers of the Apocalypse?

    They are incompatible, yes, but not because they are opposite, but because the Legion is an extremist interpretation of the Follower's philosophy. It is incompatible just like the protestant reform was incompatible with christianity in the religion wars that followed Luther. Caesar DOES provide...

    What are people's thoughts on how the Brotherhood is depicted in 3 and 4?

    The brotherhood doesn't build its numbers though. Even after they were crushed under the NCR's feet, their philosophy didn't change ; just ask Veronica how to join them. "You're born into it. My parents, their parents, so on.". Until the war, they never needed numbers to be strong. Just look how...

    What are people's thoughts on how the Brotherhood is depicted in 3 and 4?

    If anyone in the world has a reason to seize that kind of technology, it is clearly the midwest BoS. They were on a big scale war with machines in the past, they know the potential of such technology. As for the fact that even the midwest only reached Chicago, let's also point out that they do...

    What are people's thoughts on how the Brotherhood is depicted in 3 and 4?

    I never said they care, and the presence of the east coast brotherhood is not contradicted by Fallout New Vegas, it is contradicted by the events of F2 (which clearly presents the decayed state of the brotherhood long before the NCR war) and Tactics (which presents the midwest brotherhood, whose...

    What are people's thoughts on how the Brotherhood is depicted in 3 and 4?

    Are you talking about Todd Howard ? He greenlit New Vegas, and included everything in the official lore, including things that concern the events before Fallout 3. If Bethesda didn't want things to be added in the timeline of events pre-Fallout 3, they could have told Obsidian to shove it. They...

    What are people's thoughts on how the Brotherhood is depicted in 3 and 4?

    Exactly. Letting an entire chapter walk away while Maxson State is getting destroyed by the NCR, forcing the council of elders to retreat underground, is utterly stupid. They NEED as many heavy units as possible right now, for obvious reasons. A one year trip to the east for hypothethical...

    I'm trying to figure some things out about the Enclave

    The Enclave didn't need to have militant branches until the post-apocalypse though. They were in the political/industrial scheming, but they didn't need to actually have an army, or to have big numbers. The U.S. Government had one, after all, so it's possible that the other branches were...

    Can you really call yourself a Fallout fan if you love Fallout 4, honestly?

    I can't see why someone couldn't call himself a fan if he loved F4, except for tribalism. Some people could appreciate what Fallout was and what Fallout has become all the same, I guess. It's not my case, and it's not the case of anyone I know, but I'd actually envy someone who could enjoy...

    Does Fallout 4 have any major redeemable qualities?

    When I replay Fallout New Vegas, the one thing I miss is the weapon crafting mechanic. Being able to customize your equipment, piece by piece, is a nice idea, even if I it was poorly implemented (why enhance a pipe pistol, when at the next level, you'll find a functional assault rifle in the...

    Your Fallout 5 wishlist

    Yeah, something tells me that the residents of Vault 76 won't use their precious G.E.C.K. (if it still exists in this reboot, wouldn't be surprised if F76 cancels the whole story of F2 and F3 by narrative laziness) to build a populated, protected, safe and modern city-state like Vault City...

    Your Fallout 5 wishlist

    Yes, I've talked about a similar concept after Fallout 4 was released. It would clearly be realistic and be a new take on the vaults theme. My idea was more about vaults being hostile though. Vault Rangers, wearing blue and yellow hazmat suits, securing the surroundings of a vault entrance...

    Post Terrible Fallout Faction Ideas

    I did a comedy tabletop RPG once, where there was this tribe which worshipped the Michelin bibendum, "for he is the one making us move fast". Its high priests dressed like the bibendum, and its followers used car tires in every situation possible : clothing, heating, building, worshipping etc...

    So why is Caesar such a dick in New Vegas?

    It doesn't mean that there is no brotherhood, it just means that there is absolute egality. A legate is just as disposable as a standard legionary, but being equal in the eyes of a believed higher power can encourage brotherhood, since it creates a common ground between a regular man and his...

    Do You Ever Play As the Opposite Gender?

    Ah, your character would have been very interested in meeting Valius, one of the companions made by Kris Takahashi. It's not on the nexus, it's on his personal website (just google "interesting NPCs"). Won't spoil anything, but it's quite an interesting take on the sex subject within the legion...

    What do you like out of the Fallout 4 design changes

    Thing is, there was incredible potential there, if coupled with the memory den. Imagine, the flashback suddenly stops before the bombs fell, because you ran out of credits and time's up, some ghoul wants your place. Next time you'll sit, forged by more experiences, you'd have the next pre-war...

    Boxcars, why no Stimpaks?

    From my perspective, I thought that Stimpacks could heal almost anything, but Boxcars' legs were not only broken, but broken so many times there's nothing to fix anymore. Even if he makes it out alive, he will never be able to walk again. In a world like Fallout, and for an outlaw like him, that...

    "The Outer Worlds" Speculation

    Oh, my bad, I stand corrected. And I'm more anxious to learn more about this game, now. I'll bring these articles and I'll be in my bunk.

    Fallout 3 remake mod Capital Wasteland is cancelled - surprises nobody!

    Actually. As much as I'm excited for the F4 remaster of New Vegas, I'd love to see an isometric New Vegas. No more heavy engine limitations. Caesar's lands could be part of the game. Maybe not with F2's engine, but let's dream for a moment... Wasteland 2's engine ? Inxile talked about modding...
