I feel like the tell tale sign of delusions of grandeur in the fallout universe is the desire to go into space. Only the craziest of crazies have any intention of going there, and its something that even under current constraints is difficult. Who tries to go into space? The Hubologists, the...

You know, I have the same issue with the first game. I sort of steered clear of the cathedral, because I don't like religious folks and I sorta knew that was like... unity territory, so I never got to have the build up of the whole mutant lore. A lot of the locations seemed really bereft of...

I feel like fallout 2 did a fine job presenting the enclave. There was the first Frank horrigan meeting, the crashed vertibird, the radio that Metzger is intercepting, the nuclear radio signal at the Poseidon reactor in gecko, vault city also played a lot of the attitudes and themes of the...

Unarmed is my favourite build for fallout 2. It's partly because I think it makes for a cool tone in the game. I tend to forgo endurance for charisma because I love having a full party. Like you get to be Kung Fu Jesus and his disciples. I find that toughness isn't as useful in late game in...

I ask this question a lot because I find myself differing from a lot of people and while I consider myself a fallout fan, I think fallout 2 is the biggest interest for me and as we keep going on I notice the differences between even one and two. Fallout 2 had a different tone that only really...

I feel like the Enclave and Ncr represent totally different things. Both are sorta... emulations of America, but there are huge differences between them. The NCR is an actual democracy, but the Enclave is not, and thats important because of who the enclave is. Its not just any random people from...

In a generic narrative stand point, the master is certainly the better character, because he is a character, but I never got the idea that the Enclave was trying to be this humanized character. They didn't need to be. They were already human and American at that. It appealed to a strong sense of...

I feel like the moustache twirling evil side of the enclave makes sense though. They are supposed to be a contrast from the Master of the first game and a satire that mocks real life, and its kind of what makes this an interesting discussion. The Master and the Unity are the monster that...

I remember being in highschool when one of my friends showed me Fallout 3 on his Xbox, which opened my eyes to just how unremarkable a setting can be. I remember being incredibly underwhelmed by Fallout 3 and finding it bleak and boring. It wasn't like I didn't put hours into it. I focused on...

I also liked how old fallout was centered largely around its towns. I always hated the walks between locations in new fallout games because it felt like there was so much space that was largely boring and uninteresting that it made you feel like you shouldn't observe things. I love the...

I feel like this is an interesting subject to talk about because so many people try to go back to the old games and don't see the appeal, but when I see people make videos about the old games it always feels like they don't get the same things I get out of the game. I love the way the old games...

I'm no expert, but I believe given the context and the nature of the town it says "Unclenched assholes will be subject to prosecution"

Imagine this. A tribe of religious fanatics that worship the railroads, and their big dumb leader whos got gigantic muscles tried to steer the train and it crashed, making him lose his arm in the process. He was so mad, that he decided to make all of his elite guard chop off one of their arms to...

I always had misgivings about the NCR. They did some underhanded things in 2 with the raider conspiracy against vault city. In New Vegas, they are most often depicted as foreign, spread thin, with very little in the way of resources. Their grasp on the mohave is tenuous at best, and their...

I would never argue that Dick Richardson or Frank Horrigan alone could match up to the Master in terms of impact or cool, but I think that overall, the Enclave makes for a really striking satire of the US and its problems that it makes for a good comparison. Who do you think was the better...

I used to be in a meetup group with a person who worked at bethesda as a level designer. He was trying to tell me that Fallout 4 was going to be amazing and way better than any of the previous games. I remembered initially asking him if he had played any of the old fallout games, and of course...
