I just read that, along with the other entries from the Boston Beagle terminal and this is as problematic as all the rest in this title's writing. I'm not even going to mention how they describe the war as a total failure with no advancements whatsoever, when American troops are freaking...

I'm not so sure of that, to be honest. The Master already had hundreds of very intelligent super mutants years before he ever got his claws on a vault. There are more hints of the Master wishing to create more creatures like himself (aka, a Master race) than smart super mutants. He never, never...

Basically the Khans, in other words. An actual Fallout raider faction, the archnemesis of the NCR since its first day, sharing the same origin and yet, they turned into a Genghis Khan kind of horde. A faction that is logical, has reasons for what they do, an economy, a social structure, a past...

Because Fallout is supposed to be a rational, believable world. Surprisingly enough, Bethesda only made two Fallouts (3 and 4). There are four other Fallouts out there made by other studios (F1-2, tactics and NV) that present a story taking place in a believable world. The consensus is clearly...

Because in Fallout, they are clearly defined as "raiders", and raiding is what they've done since 200 years, on the same spot. A spot which would have been emptied of every single resource in less than a generation, for obvious reasons. A spot away from every single trade route, so there's not...

In certain context, long term brigandage is actually possible. North-Eastern France had a problem with brigand knights taking over abandonned forts and holding them for insanely long times, but these events require very specific conditions : health events, rule of law concerning deserters...

Well, Hitler himself admitted that he took inspiration from the U.S. Bosque Redondo reservation for his concentration camps. Yet, America was not full of "bad" people because of how its citizen dealt with the natives. Humans are never just "bad". But long-term "bad" situations turn normal people...

With a bit of gymnastics, it would actually be possible to make a proper remake of New Vegas with Fallout 4, even with the perks and 4 choices dialogue. The biggest problem would be with the legal aspect, since it would probably require using assets from New Vegas (voiced dialogues, mostly)...

Considering that the NCR had no idea what was east of its own borders for most of its existence, and had to send foot scouts to discover Hoover Dam, I really don't think that their influence is anywhere to be found beyond the main cities of California. The presence of NCR soldiers in the Mojave...

Exactly. Fallout 1's Khans may not be the friendliest bunches, but you can come to their HQ and have a reasonable chat, provided you show respect and put something on the table. They are tough human beings with their own messed up morality, but in the end, they are a community with a future (and...

I did not have the chance to play the enhanced edition yet, so I couldn't tell, but apparently, Chris Avellone participated in the various fixes, so it's always a good sign. Also, as much as I loved Torment, I was too used to Baldur's Gate and Fallout Interface, so the resolution (very close to...

Ah, thanks for posting this one. Even today, I still listen to LoK's tracks, and still get chills from the Sarafan soundtrack. Legacy of Kain is probably my favorite franchise, ever. Unmatched in terms of dialogues, character development, atmosphere and yes, soundtrack... If any franchise...

I like the "idea" behind the weapon crafting. It could have been a redeeming quality, if implemented better and with a more logical level list. I actually miss this feature when I play New Vegas. Power Armor felt like I always imagined it in the old titles. Too bad it's given to you like a...

Eva Green is really hot, Ania Bukstein is the absolute feminine perfection for me (with Roni Dalumi. I also had a crush on Mili Avital when I was a kid, guess I have a thing for middle eastern girls) but it everything was possible, and if I could timetravel, I would have picked Sigourney Weaver...

Why after you left your vault? In Vault 303, people are forced to fight rad-deathclaws painted as clowns on a regular basis, as a "social experiment". You don't even have to find the power armor, now. You begin the game IN the "Vault Tec, anti-deathclaw, Red Bull sponsored T999-XXX Mk.VIII...

Well, why not? After all, we all spent time and imagination listing and thinking about solutions about the huge writing problems of F3 and F4, and it's not "that" different from actually fixing the narrative from within like you aim to do. Can't promise to read everything you write, but I'll...

Glad to see that SOMA has supporters. Truly a masterpiece...

Can we also mention movies inspired by (or making references to) Fallout? I don't have a lot that come to mind right now, but surely, there must be some of them. I think that Defiance's pilot made an hommage with the soundtrack in the last scene.

It's cool that you give credit where it's due. That's what makes the NMA such an interesting place to be. Yeah, the scene when you have to do your duty and confront him is surprisingly well written, in my opinion. I like the way they chose to make him deal with the situation. Not quite a...

That's even worse than that... If it was "just" a purifier, one could argue that it's a bad one, and people could use a more industrial, long lasting one or something. But this is where James goes full retard, and bear with me : this is a machine that pumps water from the ground and boils it...
