i think about the fallout deadwives more than their husbands do

[purkinje-effect]

Thinking again how it would feel infinitely more realistic if any given installment of Fallout included multiple Pip-Boy models. Like, 2000, 2000-VI, 3000, 3000-IV, etc etc. Why is there only one model type visible in a given installment? Design simplicity? Surely, like how some people have the newest iPhone, and others still have their fifteen year old Razr, different models could've gotten scavenged. One area ever only getting a single model distributed feels... so unrealistic in a hyper-capitalist setting.

More NPCs should also have one. I know they're supposed to be incredibly rare (and potentially difficult to refurb/restore) but that doesn't mean it's prohibitively impossible for a non-Vault Dweller to have one. Esp. when NPCs on multiple occasions will insinuate you must've killed someone for the one you're currently wearing, or at the very least, someone died for you to get it.

I really wish we could see someone with a jury-rigged refurb Pip-Boy that's held together with bubblegum and spite. Someone whose Pip-Boy only works if it's plugged into a terminal. People with a newer or older model than the one your character's been given at the beginning. Being offered more chances than just the Pimp-Boy to change which one you've got.

It's kind of disappointing that 76 doesn't have Pip-Boy skins that make them look like other models, or even plans that let you craft other models that you can skin. (My line of thinking with this is many things--e.g. the Secret Service Underarmor, Binoculars, Jetpacks, etc.--come in multiple colors/patterns, but instead of recoloring the base one, you craft a new one. The ATX recolors for the Ranger Outfit feels pertinent precedent too somehow, but I can't put a finger on it.)

Anyway. More Pip-Boy variation within a single game setting pls.

I was thinking about height and names in the wasteland.

Height: I think humanity would slowly evolve to become shorter just like how through the centuries we evolved to become taller.

In the Wasteland, I think, being shorter can help with survival. Or not. But to think about it we started to become taller because our lifestyle became much better than it was before and it, for some reason, led us to become taller means, to me at least, in the Wasteland while struggling with survival the reverse would happen.

Might really do something with survival, like better hiding or something with muscles, someone might know better than me anyway.

Names: Names are pretty important to us. We not only give names to humans, we name... well, just about everything. I think this might be different in the Wasteland. Names might lost their meaning. Some might not even have names. They might abandoned it or was never given any.

And so when you come across generic raider #5 then it might be his entire persona. He might think he is a raider, takes his entire identity as this, and that is all.

Or perhaps they just feel like they don't want to share their names while shooting at... well, anyone.

Also, as a bonus. Many people must have some mutations but not the super mutant kind of. Instead some little ones, what might not even be noticed. I heard somewhere the blue eye and when someone looks into the sun and sneezes is some kind of mutation, I was immediately thinking about it. Even if these 'facts' are not true, for idea they are cool.

Let's say we have Jimmy. Jimmy has, I don't know, thicc skull. The kind you can hit with a damn hammer and the hammer would break. He finds it completely normal because he was always like this, and he just jokes about it with others.

Not every mutation must be a bad kind of mutation because that just makes no sense. To me, at least.

The entire Earth was ravaged through nuclear fire, it becomes irradiated, many things, if not all, mutated. That amount of radiation caused that. Humans are not the same as they were before the war, they must have changed. In many ways. Those living the longest in the Wasteland, like being the descendants of others who also lived there, means they might have more than those who just recently moved out into the Wasteland.

Edit: Read the reblogs, they wrote some really good things about this

[dunyun-rings]

why do the majority of Fallout fans pick one game to love and then absolutely HATE the other ones lol. It's always a different one for each person too. I don't get it

Tumblr Communities are here :)

I got the notification today that tumblr admin approved the Fallout ghouls community i had set up a few weeks ago. Ready to be explored if your curious!

[vault81]

bored so ig I'll rank the fallout games and their dlc

[velvetjune]

didn’t realize fallout new vegas is THE beloved fallout game and the rest have a bad reputation. im already hours into fallout 4 😭 although its fun so far. as a story, there’s virtually nothing interesting (yet), but its nice listening to the radio and building or exploring in a wasteland.

*Stares unblinkingly at my Fic Master Document which has a 3+ page (unfinished) table of contents and slowly comes to terms that this is going to be a ridiculously long slice of life Fic that is not a marathon but a VERY lengthy meander through the plot*

[gorbo-longstocking]

how are you doing? :3

IM TRUCKIN! my hours at work got cut down significantly which would be a win for writing nation if i didnt just buy a steamdeck. most of my days off have been dedicated to that gamer life because HOOOOOOLYYYY SHIT. not to advertise this thang but i adore it. i got the oled and it looks so gorgeous and runs so smoothly just AAAAAA.

otherwise ive been pretty chill, sort if depressed these past few days if im being real, but itll fade like it usually does. just gotta keep on keeping on. thank you for asking anon, i used this as an excuse to ramble tbh but thats how its been in milolandia

[wibbley-wobble]

I need a new rpg video game to get into I need to relive the euphoria of making up some guy on the spot and choosing their stats with no actual clue about what I’m doing

[hawkbutt]

Its after 1am and the craving to make more Fallout/911 mashup art is strong again.

Also, the craving to write a Fallout/911 fic is strong as well.

I see a lot of people that want to get into the Fallout game because of the show and all I have to say it: play whatever game interests you the most. Look up how they play and what their style is like and see which one would interest you

[stylish-suidae]

People in a certain post-apocalyptic game fandom get really high and mighty about how certain games in the series are dumb, and it's always so clear that they're just unable to comprehend any theming more subtle than a Sesame Street episode.
