So you'd recycle the entire plot of Fallout 1? And no, Fallout 4 doesn't rip off Westworld. Check the release dates. If you played the game, you'd know the Institute didn't have FEV originally, it came through to the faction in ~*mYsTeRiOuS*~ ways. You'd also know that the CIT wasn't just a...

On topic, for a change, I usually carry about four bricks of ammo in the classics, for single shots. 200 rounds are always good.

This was also the case with Arizona and other eastern territories prior to Caesar's rise. Or the Mojave before the emergence of Mr House. It's part of the setting. I'll refer you to Fallout and Fallout 2, which both include freestanding pre-War buildings (including skyscrapers, nearly a...

Protip: Elitism is bad. People who like different games or platforms are not inferior to you.

The entire discussion is meaningless, as Bethesda canon is Fallout canon. Every single thread about "which part should be canon" is a fruitless, pointless waste of bandwidth, as the discussion has been made. Nope. It's the body of the game considered official by the developers for the purpose...

Kellogg's the only one who provides a reliable source (and an image of just how advanced the West is, with proper apartments for families et al), Nick's investigation is basically another running joke in the series about the Mysterious Stranger. In Fallout 3, they did. In Fallout 4, I consider...

So you're delusional, good job. This kind of attitude was cute nine years ago, now it's just sad.

They don't contradict it. Alien cities can coexist with the Mojave, because they are, by definition, hard to reach. It took Dunwich borers a deliberate effort to drill down through solid rock to find the remnants of the civilization in the Commonwealth. In the Mojave, they'd probably have to dig...

Everything in Fallout 4 is canon, as Bethesda is the current franchise holder.

Nope. You keep citing that mechanic as if you were purposefully killing people in settlements. The Minutemen? Given that it's a faction that's composed of one guy at that point and you're as good a choice as any, it's perfectly understandable. Game mechanics. How about the fact you can...

The Institute is myopic in that it doesn't consider them anything other than slaves. It's called underestimating the enemy. It's good, realistic writing. It's a flaw that emphasizes the Institute's myopic approach to the big picture. We make mistakes like that all the time. You know, like a...

I've read that and... It's actually not really that big of a source. The game doesn't state that Kellogg isn't a reptilian cleverly disguised as a human either and it's a fair leap from "longevity" to "disease immunity". The latter, as far as we know, is the domain of FEV and even then, it...

The principal reason is that it features a new take on the Brotherhood. Whereas it's moribund in the West, it is reborn in the East, under a new Maxson (mythic, really, the first was the Founder, then there were High Elders, until finally a new Maxson comes forth as the Restorer). It has a sound...

Just because a mechanic is there doesn't mean you need to use it. If you want to cheat and game the system, there's plenty of ways to do so in Fallout and Fallout 2 as well, especially with superstims. Really, your claims that Fallout 2 was an ideal game are ridiculous. [citation needed]...

...wondered?

Because a damaged synth will heal back on its own, while robots need manpower and resources to be fixed up? Because a synth can use human tools, while robots need to have theirs customized and their manipulators will never have the fidelity and precision of human fingers? It's like you're being...

Because the Institute's divisions are autonomous and it's more like a confederation of independent parts than a cohesive, whole faction. There are secrets within secrets, shrouded within secrets in the Institute. In the horror and chaos of the Great War, who would notice that a file on a top...

Do you want every bit of lore spoon-fed to you or can you connect the dots? I assume you also enjoy hammering nails into your penis, which is what turning cities hostile was equivalent to. An entire map of sixty or so NPCs, all taking their turn and sweet time to move. If you can stomach it...

FEV resilience, strength, and immunity, without the appearance of a super mutant. Which is kind of a bummer. Because they're one of the foremost research institutes in the United States of the time, also working on military technologies? I'm not going to bother, because you already made it...
