Fallout - Season 2 Trailer

Skyrim actually really did something by creating a video game grey morality™️ conflict where the issue isn't that both sides have a point it's that both sides absolutely suck balls and barely have any semblance of a point about anything. unclear if what they did was good or bad but they did do something

thought the skyrim blog would like this one

i just feel like in the fallout universe, at least 10% of the population is adopted, either formally or informally.

combine the high rates of infertility, the high rates of unplanned pregnancy, and the increased likelihood of death in young to middle adulthood, and that i think makes adoption extremely common. lots of people who want but can’t have kids, plus assuming unplanned pregnancies are still very common, plus lots of kids whose parents die young, makes for high rates of adoption. and that’s just formal adoption, informal adoption like major dhatri with bitter-root would make that number even higher. there’s probably at least one adopted person in every family

which gets me thinking about how cultural values regarding family would change. blood relation would mean precious little, and people probably wouldn’t be expected to be loyal to people they’re related to by blood alone. however, relation by who you were raised by / with would have much more cultural value and more expectations of loyalty to the person who spent the most time caring for you.

Honestly I could see a fallout vault(s) where somebody at vault tec wanted to prove communism wouldn’t work by putting it and a capitalist vault in the same connected system with the same amount of resources only the overseer of the capitalist vault is tasked to sabotage the communist vault at every opportunity metatextually showing how communism historically only fails due to capitalist interference and how that even the “experiment” was rigged due to capitalisms hostility to cooperation. Only Todd Howard would never want to do actually anti capitalist messaging in a fallout game

i really like fallout because, unlike a lot of media that uses retrofuturism as just a cool aesthetic, fallout’s obsession with 1950s americana actually means something. it’s not just chrome fins and googie diners, it’s weaponized optimism. it’s that sickly-sweet propaganda sheen slathered over nuclear terror, where smiling mascots tell you to duck and cover while the government quietly preps for the end of the world. it’s about a country that believed so hard in its own greatness it signed its death warrant in cursive.

fallout takes that warped, post-war idealism, the “gee whiz!” charm of suburbia on lithium. and drags it through the dirt, showing us what happens after all the white picket fences melt into radioactive slag. in a world shaped by that specific brand of McCarthyist exceptionalism, the future isn’t flying cars and robot butlers, it’s a dinky holotape of your last moments before the bombs hit, looping forever. like vault 11, the one where the final recording plays after everyone’s already dead, revealing the whole “sacrifice one person every year or everyone dies” mandate was a lie. a loyalty test. a sick joke. and the vault passed, right before it failed, because paranoia and desperation had already eaten them alive.

that’s fallout. not just the end of the world, but the punchline that comes after the moral.

and honestly? that hits way harder than any sleek utopia. because fallout remembers: beneath all that pastel patriotism and canned laughter, something was always rotting.
