Nice recommendations :ok: Satchbag's Goods is another fantastic channel. He's got high production value and focus. https://www.youtube.com/user/satchbags/playlists

I can only recommend this review for anyone who likes YouTube-critics sharing their insights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqkZXNZwZq4 He starts with a little retrospective on western rpgs, character building and the Fallout franchise in particular, before going on examine Fallout 4's...

-Fallout did make it clear that FEV was secretly researched. It didn't make clear that there was no leak 9 months before the war. Where are the proofs or implications Chris Avellone seems to have missed? Luckily the concept doesn't even rely on such a leak. Vault-Tec just needed to know about...

It wasn't contradicted by subsequent Bibles in that regard. How is that plot-point contradicted by the game?

"How did Vault-Tec get FEV?" is quite easy to explain I think. Word about FEV got out shortly before the war, upsetting the populace (this was a fact before Fallout 3). Vault-Tec had ties to the secret government (who had ties to the military). They demanded some of the FEV to experiment...

After they found out that they abused military prisoners as test subjects. FEV research was leaked to the public in February 2077. Either the leak was doubted by the pre-BoS until they saw with their own eyes the horrors, or (and I think this is the stronger option, given Maxson's diary)...

I started a thread in the general section. The sillyness is why I like it. As long as sillyness doesn't contradict lore or introduces elements that fuck the lore up, it can be quite nice imo. I'd draw the line with the S'Lanters though. It also would have been a local phenomenon, which we...

SCIENCE! in Fallout: How, why, good, bad? Yeah, good idea. I generally agree. I have no problems with the Holograms though. It definitely is imo. The FEV itself is something that is already extremely ridiculous when you think of it and basically impossible to create (essence of SCIENCE!)...

You can't just throw a bait like this and then say, nah back on topic ;). Obsidian devs love Star Trek and wanted to reference it, which resulted in the technologies of Dead Money and thus the Think Tank. I doubt teleportation will make a comeback (it was just a transportation device after all...

The only things that bugged me about OWB technology were the Transportalponder (conveniences don't have to be lore-destroying) and the fucking vendor machines in the Sierra Madre (this is matter transmutation, something that basically makes everything possible = a shitty move). Only because...

We don't always need research facilities or military bases to have a story. Not everything in Fallout stems from the pre-war era. Why not have cultural heritage as a theme? Capitalism and its demise? A new kind of society that is so unlike anything from before the war? I'm not opposed to New...

I want to have three Vaults in Fallout 4: Vault M17: A Vault that was cooperative work between Vault-Tec and MIT (who paid more than 50% of it) and that involves an experiment. It's entry prices are much higher than the other Vaults, because the Vault involves massive amounts of Cryogenic...

I read your Fallout: Texas thread and the idea is very nice, very down to earth. Now for the more wacky clash of technology and religion: I thought of something like that, too (not in the same way though)! I think the Commonwealth (with MIT and thinking machines) would be a great place to have...

You are already trapped inside circular logic. Try to free yourself from it.
