My only actual complaint is no sign of Ron Perlman narrating.

fallout is fine as long as bethesda's writers aren't involved, 1/2/new vegas all show that you can do decent stories within the setting, bethesda fallouts just coast by on the setting itself

Whoolighams posted:love the original so much, one of the movies where everyone with a line feels like a complete character. "what the hell did they expect for their lousy 35 cents - to live forever? It's such a sign of the times that Robert Shaw's character kills himself because the movie was made during that brief window in the US when the death penalty was unconstitutional.

Bethesda just forces everything into a boring conventional framework for the dumdums and it sucks, FO4 is a fun game though just has bad writing

Fallout would be a good setting if they one day revealed the rest of the world is fine and it's just the US that hosed themselves up this bad. Until then it's pretty dumb, fun games but zero interest in a show about The Lore.

The internal contradiction of nuclear war anxiety while still lusting after the utopian potential of sci-fi technology + RETVRN to ye olde West is the psychic underpinning of Fallout and so, uniquely American imo. Thinking about the state of the rest of the world in Fallout is interesting but actually depicting it would be missing the point

“Actually the outside world in [fictional setting] is doing great and is just ignoring the crazies.” Is tied for first place with “The main character is dying and the whole series is just their coma hallucinations as they bleed out/succumb to cancer.” in the contest for least original, laziest, and most completely being unable to understand story themes “fan theories”.

But what we do know is that in spite of it all, humanity somehow still persists. If it did in the US, why not elsewhere? and if it did elsewhere, why assume it plays out exactly as it did in america? drat horror queefs posted:The internal contradiction of nuclear war anxiety while still lusting after the utopian potential of sci-fi technology + RETVRN to ye olde West is the psychic underpinning of Fallout and so, uniquely American imo. galagazombie posted:“Actually the outside world in [fictional setting] is doing great and is just ignoring the crazies.” Is tied for first place with “The main character is dying and the whole series is just their coma hallucinations as they bleed out/succumb to cancer.” in the contest for least original, laziest, and most completely being unable to understand story themes “fan theories”. I never said doing great. I just dont think the rest of the world devolved into lovely anarchism or lovely fascism by default.

a fairly common "fan theory" (if you want to call it that) for 1984 is that eastasia and eurasia are total fictions and only the UK lives in the authoritarian dystopia
