Megazver posted:They nuked it, because Todd wanted old fans who think that New Vegas is better that 3&4 to eat poo poo and cry. why do they hate the supreme storytelling of NV so? LifeLynx posted:It's been a while since I read about it, but I think it's someone important's rule (Bethesda?) that the timeline must go forward. So it's over 200 years since the vaults opened and not much has changed because if the world progressed realistically it'd ruin the post-apocalyptic vibe. realistically there would be no progress. At best you would get junktown because there won't be any resources or industrial capacity to rebuild pristine new things. Tankbuster fucked around with this message at 18:22 on Apr 8, 2024 |

No seriously. The places in fallout 1 that have new buildings are all built with the GECK. What you would get is 19th century pioneer wooden logs if you want to bring "realism" into a 50s b movie sci fi video game where radiation is functionally equal to Tiberium.

yeah but we have actual real examples in places where after natural disasters people build things out of scrap. In case of societal collapse there would be no skilled labor and materiel flooding in to fix everything up to a pretty looking state.

you just had 5 people squatting in a bunker somewhere. Meanwhile east coast had largely transitioned with the BOS overthrowing the enclave in the DC area and providing a huge safe area with free water.

Todd howard put out the hit. The premiere with Tim Cain was the Red Wedding. I like that The brotherhood draw everything on graphing paper and send data via grid.

Stinky videogame writer: What if I nuke New Vegas because the post-post-apocalypse is kinda limiting where the game goes Todd Howard No. Hollywood showrunner: What if I nuke New Vegas because the post-post-apocalypse is too expensive and hard to shoot Todd Howard Yes.

maximus being a petty rear end in a top hat is really charming. His power armor testing montage is pretty good characterization too, just trying to larp as a storybook knight.

What makes you think they are gonna set more games on the west coast? Obsidian is off making their own IP. Avowed looks neat and Bethesda has repeatedly said they aren't interested in other studios handling their IPs or setting fallout stuff on the west coast.

Megazver posted:Microsoft owns Bethesda now. (And Obsidian and Inxile.) There are no official statements to point at, for obvious reasons, but it kinda seems like MS has slowly been getting more and more hands-on with Bethesda after Redfall bombed and Starfield failed to meet expectations. Like, after SF came out they actually put an exec from MS above Todd in the BGS hierarchy. Microsoft did all that because a bunch of senior bethesda developers left after 20+ years of working at the same company, having their stock options appreciate after microsoft acquired zenimax. Also EP3 laughing at the hack scriptwriter being named emil. Its a good joke.

Rabid Snake posted:As a huge fan of fallout 1,2 and New Vegas, the depiction of the west coast has been so disappointing. They should’ve just stuck to the east coast. Oh well it’s not like Bethesda was going to make another west coast based fallout nor would I trust them with the geopolitics involved. its a rotten corrupt government like NV described.

dr_rat posted:(ep8)Existing? Although, yeah the New, New Calfionian Republic will have all the power it needs I guess. If any of it still exists. With how big the NCR seemed to be big though by the time of New vegas just blowing up one city and it collapsing doesn't seem to make much sense. It certainly seemed to have just a whole bunch of towns all over the place. well that and (ep7)has stuff with the former rangers scrounging post retirement.

Entorwellian posted:The post-war scenes are like the game and I could kind of turn my brain off that those parts, but the pre-war ones had a lot of intrigue and a lot of neat details. It helped flesh out how hosed the world was in reality vs. the idealism of the retro future coming to a head. They really nailed it in the introduction, especially. The actual details in stuff is always charming (ep1)those bounty hunters having a superstition for checking whether or not a ghoul is feral with their chicken test.

Doltos posted:That's not a really good read on any of the characters at all You would be better off mapping those characters to 3d fallout protagonists. Lucy is the fallout 3 character, - dad leaves vault and she goes out to find him. Ghoulgins is the fallout 4 protagonist in that he is a prewar relic out to find his family which makes maximus the courier.

koolkal posted:The show ends with the NNCR (Flame Mother edition) getting wiped out since it seems like the remnants have already accepted that the previous NCR is gone. I guess we could see a NNNCR resistance movement but there's no reason for them to exist anymore when the BoS (Caesar's Legion edition) controls a cold fusion-powered LA and is shown to be perfectly fine with wiping out a town that doesn't pledge allegiance. Considering they just wiped out most of the remaining NCR there's no reason to think they would allow any NCR towns to remain; they would all become BoS towns now (or be wiped out). everyone knows that when the brits burnt down the white house the USA ceased to exist.

dr_rat posted:There's quite a few people saying the like the first four better. There's a slight shift in the feel of the show from the frount four and the back half, so I think it might just be a personal preference thing. the first 4 episodes are about doing sidequests. Last four are about completing the game.

Rabid Snake posted:Todd Howard wanted "Post Apocalypse" setting but set it 220 years after the bombs dropped like in the east coast. Like what? There was progression yeah but building things requires resources, energy and technical knowledge. The latter is collected by the BoS and slowly trickles into the wasteland according to the ending of game 1. The former is something the world explicitly lacks. People living in favelas makes as much sense as them living in adobe huts. The energy stuff is mentioned in the show.

Its a frontier where the actual thriving place is explicitly protected by an ayn rand character's benevolence because it was his pet project. Freeside is a mess. There's a bunch of destroyed towns and the most functional city was built by NCR colonists moving eastwards.
