Well before the retcon of the show, I thought all of the crazy tests the Vault-Tec folk were doing were for the Enclave with the latter being the setting's ultimate big bad. Yeah, I wouldn't make that comparison. "Native Americans are drug dealing raiders who engaged in constant unprovoked...

Of course they were ordered to open fire on sight, it was the base for the massacres and atrocities of the Great Khans that they'd carried out against towns, camps, and soldiers. It just also happened to be their tribal camp. The incompetence of the commander was that they didn't realize the...

Vault-Tec answers to the Enclave and is a part of it. Hasn't this been canon since Fallout 2? Bethesda knows this and had Vault 101 deliberately refuse the codes that could order them to open up.

I mean, a shit ton more than represented in the game. I'm assuming Shady Sands is meant to be a community of hundreds at least. Part of the reason I am never on NCR's side is what they do to the Khans if you kill Papa Khan and have his son ally with them. After the Second Battle of Hoover...

To be fair, that's game engine limitations. The Khans and New Khans are not actually wiped out in either game. The Vault Dweller and Chosen isn't wiping out their villages. They're just killing the warriors present.

I mean that policy is the result of dealing with terrorists....and the results of terrorism increasing as a result. Plenty of RL radicals and extremists turn out to be unreasonable in their demands. The Khmer Rogue got beaten because the Vietnamese Army smashed them.

The Great Khans were already a clan of Raiders, taking literal shots at NCR personnel, and hostile to the polity. The fact that the Followers of the Apocalypse taught the Great Khans how to make medicine and they immediately turned it into a lucrative drug business is kind of indicative of their...

As much as I love F3, Bitter SPrings is why I think Fallout: New Vegas is the best because it's one of the rare cases of genuine moral ambiguity. Everyone has a different take on the subject and they're all equally valid. It was a military fuck up but it wasn't deliberate and plenty of people...

What do you call Bitter Springs if you're an NCR Ranger? "Work in progress."

An odd commentary is Jim Sterling and the Critical Drinker hate everything but love this show. So it's interesting to see the divide here.

The ozarks also have a Breaking bad rip off.

Yes, Fallout 3 without Broken Steel is a very different game. The DLC is really the "Director's Cut" version and a different experience.

https://unitedfederationofcharles.blogspot.com/2024/05/fallout-tale-of-mutation-review.html FALLOUT: A TALE OF MUTATION by Erwan Lafleuriel is a book available on Kindle Unlimited that details the creation of the first four Fallout games (no real information on Fallout 76 or the series, which...

I am curious what you think is out of character.

Justified is also racist as shit against my hometown. Though it's accurate that the organized crime in Lexington is primarily Nazis.

The argument you're making is all for specialized tasks and equipment that requires space and manufacturing versus making a "one size fits all" for human labor. As you say, they're human shaped and can use human tools. If you're going to make a "one size fits all" jack of all trades robots then...

I don't really see why you wouldn't want human shaped robots. Most tasks that you want robots to do are the ones that humans are best at doing. It's not like they have a need for tanks or planes down there. The goal is to replace human labor so you create human-shaped laborers.

Wouldn't all of those positions require them to be of a mindset different than child soldiers raised to believe Caesar is a god? A lot of cults suffer from losses when they have their people outside of the cult's direct media feed and bubble. The Frumentari in the Great Khans, for example, ends...

Of all Fallout 4's plotholes, I was stunned this is the one they chose to repeat. There's an entire Season of Fallout 76 devoted to a group of scientists kidnapping people, turning them into Super Mutants, and re-releasing them in Appalachia for SCIENCE.

I mean that sounds suspiciously like a lot of arguments I hear in academia (I have my Masters in Literature) that science fiction and fantasy are trash because they're not deep and serious. Fallout: The Series is an adventure comedy and you have listed nothing but dark, depressing dramas with...
