SOMEHOW NOT EVIL? SOMEHOW NOT EVIL???

THE COFOUNDER OF THE SLAVING, RAPING, VIOLENT COLONIZER FACTION INGAME IS SOMEHOW NOT EVIL?

THE ONE WHO IS LITERALLY SO SET ON DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN TO THE TRIBES OF ZION THAT IT TAKES 100 SPEECH TO CONVINCE HIM TO TONE IT DOWN SLIGHTLY IS SOMEHOW NOT EVIL?

DID WE PLAY THE SAME GAME

my new Fallout©®™ weapon design idea. im thinking of calling it "mini nuke but worse"

[swankshrimp]

Uh hey so how come the enclave scientist in the fallout show is named after a real life holocaust survivor

Like this shows up immediately when you Google the name. Literally unmissable if you do a basic search of the name. Did nobody check first or was this intentional

What the fuck

It's easy to jump to the conclusion that the NCR and New Vegas got destroyed in the series purely out of spite, because Bethesda is coping and seething that people like FNV more than any of their Fallouts. I'm also leaning towards that interpretation myself, although I'm not ready to attribute that specific intention to Bethesda just yet.

A much more charitable, but also more likely interpretation is this: Bethesda has a very superficial understanding of Fallout, and they're incapable of going in any new and interesting direction with it. And that's why they destroyed the NCR and New Vegas, because they represented humanity rebuilding and looking towards the future (albeit still with heavy doses of old world nostalgia, but FNV has already said plenty on the topic). Their continued existence in canon forces Bethesda to think about the future of the setting, when all they want to do is sit in their postapocalyptic sandbox that hasn't been cleaned up in 200 years and wank about the BOS, Vault-Tec, and 1950s American aesthetics. So they had to go.

Well, whichever one it is, it's clear that Bethesda has absolutely zero respect for the work of Obsidian/Black Isle. Or the Fallout setting in general, for that matter.

You walk into the Presidentail Suite to confront Benny and he’s playing Papa’s Wingeria on Yes- Man’s screen and sucking so bad on the sauce section.

their beef is so funny

Can you get a robot to do it please, I promise nothing bad will happen to it

I don’t like the fact that we have had to respond to robot fuckers several times

Some of our legal team is suggesting adding weapons in there and saying that if you do it, you will get harmed just so you guys fucking stop

you could make it squirt nuka cola that would 100% deter me, trust me that would absolutely deter me and not motivate me. I would not drink the soda and I would be deterred so badly.
