I think the Lone Wanderer ruling over the Pitt after killing Ashur is perfectly reasonable, assuming you don't have Mod canon like the Mothership Zeta or Tale of Two Wastelands.

I'm surprised you need to justify the Enclave. They have nuclear powered vertibirds (i.e. unlimited power effectively) and a bunch of them went to a fortified nuclear military base in Washington D.C. after being contacted by a ZAX super computer. What was already canon. They just hopped into...

*snips most of this* Uh yeah. Except I feel like you haven't gone far enough with understanding the satire. THERE IS NO GOVERNMENT TO REBEL AGAINST. This is part of the humor of Three Dog, I feel, and something that needs to be accepted in its full glory. Three Dog is rebelling against a...

I literally referred to it as a retcon and consider it directly different from clarification. I feel it makes the story better and said as much. Of which all of the world's largest corporations and their ruling class are now part of. Yes. It's an enclave to survive the end of the world...

I mean, Mister House having insider trading information about the apocalypse that he attributes to his own genius predicting is about the most accurate tech bro/Howard Hughes sort of thing they could have done and perfectly in-character. I don't think it's actually a bad change. It also makes...

Yeah and they'll ignore that completely.

Yes, but no one is going to arrest the Prime Minister of Israel.

No.

It is political theater but that is most politics. Biden is freaking out about the whole thing because he desperately wants to pretend Netanyahu isn't a monster fighting other monsters and killing a shit ton of children along the way.

I mean, Tim Cain said, "Vault Tec is a parody of every greedy defense contractor ever." 00:55

Yes, he can't figure out who actually came up with FEV and thought he did but his fellow developers all claim they came up with it separately.

No, they included an actual adventure. Also, it's not small arms fire since he uses explosive bullets.

I mean the Osprey is just one example of incredibly bad money-driven government pork that has killed real life soldiers. I don't know why you'd assume I'm arguing in bad faith when I suggest that the government isn't always good to its soldiers. Besides, they presumably did fix most of the...

I really like this discussion. Some good points: * Vault-Tec was based on every dirty super rich defense contractor * Mindless ghouls were called Walkers before the Walking Dead. * Brotherhood of Steel from Canticle of Leibowitz, duh * The GECK was a happy accident. * FEV had multiple creators

Yep, the least they could do was put a big cover over the place or a tunnel. I mean, if you don't want to include Fallout 3 and 4, that's fine but that's not a change by the series. The Enclave survived in Fallout: New Vegas: Lonesome Road too because they mention a Chicago depot. The...

Oh yes, in-universe they are trying to make better humans not Gulpers. But I admit I have always been trying to figure out reasons for fallout 4's idiotic Super Mutant plot with the Institute. That was one of my theories. I can't make that writing work, though

Isn't a major point that their plan is stupid and only because they're racists? I mean, wiping out ALL LIFE ON EARTH TO RULE THE ASHES is pretty much the OG idiocy of the biggest complaint about the Fallout series.

Ehhh, it's not quite that "The Division's central plot" easy. Not the least being those stone age morons not being anywhere near one another. You need a way to distribute the virus massively, vaccinate presumably the populations you want to keep alive (all vault-dwellers who are in "good...

What we know about Vault-Tec's plans is very little or even if there is a plan. Cooper believes there's an ultimate mastermind or Vault Tec CEO behind all of this "the one pulling the strings" and is following Hank to him. But we don't know who, what, when, or where regarding that.

To be fair, its REALLY REALLY HARD to make a biological weapon that won't kill non-mutated humans but will kill mutated ones. Because, well, its an arbitrary stupid distinction. And once released, viruses don't tend to go away.
