Honestly I don’t think Fallout 3 had many retcons per se. Just a lot of poor writing and worldbuilding. Like, it’s not a retcon to send the Brotherhood across the country, it’s just lazy. Even saying that FEV exists outside of Mariposa and Super Mutants were being created in Vault 87 long before...

Off topic but Fallout really needed child enemies. Obviously they’d never get away with it, especially now, but talk about morally gray.

Oh yeah, ten episodes works for a lot of series. But even half-hour sitcoms can’t seem to go past ten episodes a season nowadays. I miss the days of 20-25. Lol, just noticed that first link.

I’d just like to point out that both of these shows come from the before-times. It is now illegal to have more than ten episodes a season.

I could be misremembering, but I remember him saying that the last time I played Fallout a couple years back.

That’s like saying “Scream 1 and 2 were basically retold in Scary Movie and look how that turned out.”

Leonard Boyarsky is American. Unless you are implying that having Russian ancestry bestows one with certain artistic abilities. You’re being too hard on Tim. I don’t think he misunderstands Fallout at all. He just doesn’t care anymore. It’s been through so many iterations since he had any hand...

I think a loose retelling of Fallout 1 would make a good show. I’d start off each episode with a flashback scene of something we can only read or hear about in the first game. These flashbacks would serve to set up the main plot line, giving us details about FEV and the Master’s Army, while the...

If Tim Cain intended for Fallout to be nothing more than a wacky parody of 50s sci-fi then he really shit the bed with Fallout 1. Good thing he left so that Fallout 2 could be closer to his original vision. Also kinda goes against his quote from twenty years ago: "My idea is to explore more of...

The talking point I’ve seen is that the location of the NCR (Shady Sands) was changed to be slightly east of where it was in the first game, so that justifies every retcon in the show. Also Super Mutants were retconned to be immortal in Fallout 2 whereas ZAX in Fallout 1 says that their life...

I’ve always interpreted the Independent Vegas ending as the Courier fighting for an… independent New Vegas. I never really understood why people think that the Courier is going to rule over Vegas him/herself. After the game ends, the Courier is just gonna fuck off, just like every Fallout...

Usually I start a new save while keeping the old one, telling myself I’ll come back to it eventually. I never do.

Just one Vault in the entire state of Nevada, huh? Funny, could’ve sworn FNV had more than one… Edit: Stupid me, thought the red marks were the vaults edit again: wait, what are the red points then?

Come on, dude, that was so obviously a joke.

Sometimes I wonder if people like Tim actually like the show or if they just have a visceral reaction against “toxic right-wing haters” and don’t want to be lumped in with them. I’ve noticed that most left-leaning people rarely seem to criticize media anymore (the minority of us here being an...

Fair enough, they were more xenophobic than I gave them credit for. I guess my point was that a lot of the groups in the game (Shady Sands, Khans, Necropolis) seem fairly distrustful of outsiders, but they lack the ability to effectively keep people from wandering into their homes. Also, the...

https://www.nma-fallout.com/threads/rewriting-fallout-new-vegas.219896/ My curiosity was piqued so I dug up the thread and… you actually didn’t, lol. Must’ve been a different thread. Still, the whole thread is so interesting, and a nice contrast to the thoughtless abomination we’re discussing here.

That was actually me, posted it in an Atomic Postman thread though, so I understand your confusion.

And if we could all just… get together and hate a little… We could hate one another… Hate our sisters and brothers in a sea of disunity
