Woah, deja vu

Seethe

Interesting point, and one I hadn't considered. Pretty plausible actually. Caesar demands total obedience. All other bonds, all other possible loyalties—familial, tribal, spiritual, etc.—are suppressed. Romantic love would be a natural target as well. The very qualities that Pausanias praised...

Good points. If we take antiquity as our model though, homosexuality and natalism are not mutually exclusive. In the ancient world there was immense social pressure on male citizens to have children and continue their lineage, yet homosexual relationships were not generally perceived as a threat...

In New Vegas several NPCs make comments to the effect that homosexuality is not only endemic but permissible in Caesar's Legion: Major Knight: Oddly enough, Legion's a little more forgiving about... friendships. Cass: Guess you've got a Legion outlook on things. [Confirmed Bachelor speech...

I agree with almost every single one of your points -- minus the first quarter NV thing (prefer midgame, first few hours are too samey every playthrough), and the pre-war building stuff, depending on the time period. Plus Cass, Boone, Raul, and Arcade are tolerable. You're right about the Hegel...

I think Tandi is one of those people who is annoying because of their worldliness, which they won't hesitate to remind you of.

Beyond old grievances, I think it’s pretty understandable, if not rational given that the mutants are genuinely dangerous. Most humans would almost certainly not survive a one-on-one encounter with one, armed or unarmed. Most are dumb and easily provoked. Even intelligent and “enlightened” ones...

Oh yeah definitely, he's a funny character and I like his voice acting but god I always wanna murder the guy

Cabbot, Rhombus, Nicole, Lynette.

All fucking zombies must fucking hang.

Fair enough point, I'd completely forgotten about the Chosen One's 'impurity' and the Enclave attitude towards that.

There's no deathclaws in Detroit

And hopefully without the theatrics of their appearances in Fallout 2 or 3 as the Big Bads, especially because I think a lot of us feel that their story arc should have been considered resolved at the end of Fallout 2. At the same time, I always found it a little annoying how my character...

Eh, just a consequence of the excessive streamlining and player character exposition. When I saw in the video you can actually still romance same-sex characters I just dismissed the whole thing as inconsequential, there's always going to be discontinuities between your personal backstory and...

That thought crossed my mind, and it makes a lot of sense given the circumstances of its conception.

Definitely. I wish he had more dialogue, actually.

What on Earth were they thinking? This should be a non-canon random encounter at best. Can you imagine this kid whining about his mum and dad all through Fallout 1 and 2? Why even have that kind of situation if you're not going to make full use of it with some Stephen King horror a la The Jaunt.

Really captures the intensity of the survival elements that have been missing from the Fallout series as of late.

Fallout: New Vegas' central motif that tethers all the webbing strands of plot, character and event in the sprawling Nevada wastes is clearly the attachment to the past and emulation of by-gone concepts, people, places, events and civilizations. What I'm wondering is, what is everyone's idea on...
