Wasteland Armor

Concept art for Fallout 3

bethesda making a vault origin into the unshakable cornerstone of their fallout is especially ridiculous when you put it into perspective and drill down on it, realizing that even in fallout 1, the game that sets that precedent, the archetype of the character as The Vault Dweller is like, entirely irrelevant. it's very much just the inciting plot and very rapidly becomes nothing to the character as they adapt to being simply a wastelander. day 1, tandy is referring to you as a traveller. most people dont even believe you if you mention being from a vault, if they even believe vaults are real at all. its such a minuscule part of a vast world and to make it the epicenter of the franchise is just so boneheaded. you think if fallout 2 released and it was just like okay, here you go. you're from a Different Vault this time! different number, same suit! yep. go do basically everything you already did, but palette swapped to some different enemies, different names for basically the same towns, the same general cast of ragtag characters. virtually no world progression as everything has to stay run down ruins and scrap shanties. im just saying i dont think it wouldve gone over as well

sorry todd I straight up don't think power armor in fallout is cool like even conceptually it just doesn't make sense for the protagonist to have any it requires too much logistics and support to keep in working order like any other military vehicles and I'm not really sure how you would even go about fielding it as a lone wanderer on an open ended adventure instead of as a soldier with a whole squad of mechanics and engineers to maintain it and don't even get me started on how much fallout 4 completely fucking fails to fulfill that fantasy either

He was as tall as he was tall, and his eyes were the color they were. To describe his hair one would say that he had some. His face had all the features you'd expect, and none of the ones you wouldn't. "There he is," people would often say of him, but only when he was there. And they were right.

I see the same question/argument about why there's so much garbage in Fallout 4 pop up bianually, but I think a better question is WHERE is all of the garbage coming FROM?!

The loose garbage that's sitting in the streets has to be from *after* the war. Source: when you live in a place that gets windy and rainy ever all that shit blows around and blows away and gets buried in the dirt. We've had bricks in our yard get buried in 1 season by the soil.

Maybe you could argue the city where the ground is primarily concrete that stuff didn't get buried. But then you have to consider a couple of other things. 1 - Concrete poured on the ground is susceptible to breaking up in places where there's seasons, like Boston. Cold, snowy winters, wet springs and falls, and dry, hot summers do a number on concrete that's not maintained. I'm imagining the most vacant lot where I live - which has similar seasonal weather - being like 5-10 years vancant and unmaintained where I can see the concrete breaking up and desinigrating and nature reclaiming it then multiplying that by 20-50.

Maybe they used special, hardier retrofuturistic concrete in the Fallout universe, and we can dismiss the idea of the ground being somewhat dirt where there used to be road, which brings us to 2 - Boston sits on a river and I'm guessing multiple other waterways that feed it. The garbage is going to go there. The same seasons that mess up concrete would eventually carry the trash into the waterways when it's windy or rainy or the snow melts.

So the 200 year old garbage should be gone. Where is it coming from?

The average contemporary American generates a fuckton of garbage because we buy everything from the store and everything from the store needs to come in some type of packaging or container for loss prevention and/or hygenic purposes that we then throw away. A little over 100 years ago, that wasn't the case. It's only with modern manufacturing technology and supply chains that we're able to package every god damn thing we consume in a way that is financially feasible for the companies manufacturing those things.

210 years after the bombs drop in Fallout, society is not back to that level of manufacturing and consumption. There appears to be a limited amount of manufacturing occurring. They're probably not manufacturing products with packaging that is going to create really persistent garbage, namely plastic. Plastic is a byproduct primarily of natural gas refinement, which is not something we see happening in Fallout - correct me if I'm wrong, though. I haven't played the first two games.

The lifestyle most people seem to be living in Fallout wouldn't generate a lot of garbage. Like people did 100-200 years ago, people likely use everyday items until they truly wear out then repurpose them until they're next to nothing. Clothing is a good example: wear it til it wears out, then cut it into rags to use until those get threadbare or gross. They can go in the fire that warms your house or that you cook on when that happens. Heck, I'm not 100-200 years old, but I grew up poor, and my dad did that! Waste from creation, for example, if you build a table out of wood, likely gets repurposed as well. Scraps big enough to use for smaller projects get used, smaller ones go on the fire. Containers for food storage likley get reused and repurposed if they get gross not thrown away in the streets.

So yeah, there is no reason for garbage to be there. Bad job, Bethesda 🙄 /s

The real, secret, answer is that the garbage piles are there to hide the janky edges of the sidewalks and buildings and other objects that dont sit level or sink into the ground or don't have textures when you look at them from the side or whatever. You can see this in the settlements when you have the scrap everything mod and remove a lot of those leaf and garbage piles on the edge of buildings, roads, etc. Or you can walk up to a suspect garbage pile in downtown, open the console, click the garbage pile and tyle "disable" and find all sorts of fun jankiness. Just make sure to type "enable" to put it back unless jank is your thing, lol.

Dr. Heller inspects the skull of a victim of the 1806 Mycelium infections, an epidemic that decimated a village in the south of France. The fungus grew into the bone, creating ossified structures that broke out of the skin to spread spores.
