You're treating it a bit too vaguely. Most coherent stories have a protagonist presented with a conflict, retrieve a macguffin, and solve that conflict with it. In Fallout, one conflict against nature or whatever leads to a second conflict against a psychopath and his army. In OWB, one conflict...

My point is Fallout games generally have the same structure. Person's society needs macguffin, person gets macguffin, encounters big army, resolves conflict. Admittedly, OWB is a DLC and much like the others isn't necessarily going to be like an entire Fallout game, but it's more different than...

Perhaps I could have worded that better. I was just listing things out and happen to make it appear as if I was saying Dr. Venture made the roboscorpions and such on accident. Anyways, the fact that Old World Blues is actually debatably as dark as Lonesome Road under the surface while still...

Players get hypnotized by the flashy effects and wide open field. So the developers can say all of these lies and people will think it's true, if only because it's vaguely imitated. The Fan Dumb is so horribly severe that they'll create these great big fallacies in their head despite everything...

Ah, well, everyone has a different sense of humor. More or less. Yours is perhaps a bit too sensitive to be considered normal.

I'd say Myron and the hubologists are endearing at most, and although Black Mountain is actually funny and well implemented even in the game world, it has even less dialog that repeats itself even more than any of the others, which is really saying something. Outside of Fallout 2 (which had an...

There had been plenty of similar switches earlier in the DLC that had done things as simple as unlocking a door. From the looks of things, that could have easily been a switch to unlock the elevator, which was exactly what it did. Perhaps one may be able to tell what would happen based on the...

In Fallout, that's really hard to pull off. The setting itself is simply unsuited for such a thing and the only way to establish humor is some sort of silly gag. Throughout the entire franchise, the only comedic or supposedly comedic things that weren't either charming silly stuff like the...

A new engine isn't necessarily going to solve a problem like bad programming or poor balance. Any problems that would be solved by using an engine like that instead would have very little to do with this dilemma. And based on what we've seen of it, Rage probably isn't suited for RPGs...

Funny that you mention it. Boone is also really up there. I kinda have a thing for woobies, I guess. And as for the nuke, the Courier's Mile wasn't exactly a good place to begin with and the nuke was surprisingly weak. So I guess it wasn't really a big deal. Everything else is either...

It's true, Power Armor isn't just like any other armor. However, it's still a suit of armor even when we get down to brass tacks. It's true, you can't just put on a suit of armor no problem in real life. That's why armor has a bunch of adjustable straps and all sorts of features for it to fit...

That may be true, but the Fallout Bible was written by Chris Avellone, not Todd Howard or Emil Pagliarulo. Also take into account that Avellone and the others at Black Isle Studios knew what they were doing with Fallout. Bethesda decided to bastardize it into a Hollywood action flick. A Bad...

Really? The Mojave chapter is easily the most unlikable of them all and abandoning the Securitrons seems kinda counterproductive...

Yeah, his poetic dramatization is actually part of why I like it so much.

All that's missing is a suave accent for charmingly cute cloudcuckoolander dialogue. Ah, but that was only a ruse! the Business Roaches were just Using You All Along!!

I guess all names were alliterative in the '50s. It really was quite common, actually, but Beth still went totally overboard, which is possibly my biggest pet peeve with the thing.

Well, the internet lives and breathes fallacies.

Ulysses, oooohhhhhhh!! Ulysses is just so fantastic to me. Being one of three fantastic stars of Lonesome Road and constantly mentioned throughout the other DLCs, I had very high expectations for his character... and he exceeded all of them. His strange stalker-ish obsession with the Courier...
