That's not education, that's brainwashing.

While that is a nice looking 3d interpretation of the 6520, the description from 1+2 suggests that it is a revolver that is autoloaded from a magazine: "A Colt 6520 10mm autoloading pistol. Each pull of the trigger will automatically reload the firearm until the magazine is empty." This design...

Getting the Highwayman up and running and leaving that Den shithole after struggling to scratch together enough caps to pay both Metzger and the junkyard guy, hearing "My Chrysalis Highwayman" for the first time, is one of my stand-out moments in gaming.

Ok, David Bowie was really creative and innovative (if a bit artsy-fartsy :P) and had a huge influence on rock and pop, but today's media talk about him like he was the only glam rock star that ever existed.

The Unity has never been beaten as an antagonist in the entire Fallout series. The creepy religious elements, body horror and the Master's heartbreak at learning that these seemingly powerful mutants will never be able to replace humanity gives the Unity a unique and surprisingly plausible feel...

With an energy weapons build, I'm a big fan of the Holorifle. With a decently ranged scope and the hologram effect, it can deal with almost all enemies in the game and DLCs, all for the cost of one MFC per shot. The jury-rigged look also fits the game's post-apocalyptic western setting. That...

@The Dutch Ghost While the bored military AIs causing the Great War is a silly, wacky idea that fits the tone of FO2, its not really comparable to the "aliens did it" that was thankfully cut from the alien DLC, as it is still the fault of mankind and his hubris. Those AIs were made by the...

Why does almost every single character have a really irritating voice, is it a Bethesda gaem thing?

I bought Fallout 3 in the GOG sale just so I can see how bad it is compared to 1, 2 and NV

It's a very common trope in action movies that the hero will mindlessly gun down countless minions, but he is suddenly struck with conscience when confronting the final boss. Bethesda's conformity to Hollywood tropes (as well as not adding anything substantial to Fallout lore) shows their...

The balance from JESawyer's mod is pretty much essential for me. It does tend to cause conflicts with other mods that change NPCs so be careful. I use JSawyer Ultimate Edition from the Nexus which is a updated reworking of Sawyer's original mod.

Ahh... going for the ol' Todd special I see?

Post-apocalyptic is a pretty overdone genre TBH, esp when you add zombies *cough* I mean feral ghouls to it. I think that the genre really doesn't work when the implications of living in such a world are not really thought out, and just an afterthought to the rule-of-cool.

Looks like Simscraft 4.5 is on it's way. Totally a Fallout gaem guuuys...

It does seem strange that Bethesda would go so hard into the 50's thing and then go for something else. I think they just throw shit at a wall and see what ends up most profitable.

Disco Vault confirmed

I'm sure Caesar and his Praetorians would appreciate some ABBA holotapes... But seriously, there's a lot of late 60's,70's and 80's vibes in the original games and New Vegas so I would say it fits. On the other hand, the 70's was a far more cynical time than the 50's and the aesthetic of the...

Oh God, this is gonna be Fallout: Settlements of Steel isn't it?

The only thing I found interesting from the trailer was the use of the John Denver cover- its the most recently written song that has ever featured in a Fallout opening- along with the colour TV, it makes me think it the aesthetic will be later into the 20thC than Bethesda has done before. After...
