>In theFalloutgames, Ghouls are typically cannon fodder, mindless zombies whose bodies have been mutated by radiation. The Ghoul is a legend, distinct among his kind for his cleverness and cunning.
WHAT???
https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2023/11/fallout-first-look
there are more feral ghouls then sapient ghouls
But why would a random sapient Ghoul be so distinct thst he would be called THE GHOUL in a world where normal ghouls are literally your next door neighbours?
By being that good?
Don't see the issue tbh
Obviously the issue is that, with the way the description of this character is written, it seems to imply that "The Ghoul" is an anomaly in the way that he can think cleverly and posses cunning. This, of course, runs counter to games like Fallout 4 where there is a ghoul who is clever and cunning enough to be the leader of an entire community, along with other ghouls who are basically just normal people trying to get by. Literally every single Fallout game has this in some capacity. Essentially, if we take the description at face value, (and so far, there is no reason not to, knowing what we know about the production team) The Ghoul is only one of a small few ghouls to NOT be mindless cannon fodder. If anything, the games seem to imply it's the opposite, and the ferals are actually the minority, since ghouls only go feral after a certain amount of time.
Best case scenario, the character description is not indicative of the final product, and The Ghoul is just very talented ghoul who was given that title out of respect. Worst case, he'll be the ONLY non-feral ghoul in the show. So far, I would not even be remotely surprised if it is the former case, rather than the latter.
I don't see how that's a worst case tbh
Sane ghouls being so rare that the only one people in that place have seen gets called THE Ghoul just sounds like a normal thing to me
I think the idea is that it's set only briefly after the bombs fell (only a few decades), so ghouls aren't as well known as they are centuries later.
Yeah dude, they should have called him The Courier instead.
i wish i could frick raul
I can see it if it's a weird bandit name
it only works if they go to a ghoul-only settlement and they call the human mc THE SMOOTHSKIN
>Mc Smoothskin
I like it
Sapient ghouls aren't that common. If your small town only has one ghoul then he's "The Ghoul".
They're dumbing it down for normalgays who don't know anything about the series
I don't see how that's an issue wtf
It's like calling someone "The Man", not a problem
Making a character in my story named THE israelite
Make it so he's the only israeli person in the locatiob the story takes place then
Pretty sure Tarantino already did that
the israelite Bear, Inglorious Bastards
He's supposed to be some kind of bounty hunter or something. Maybe he just simply calls himself "The Ghoul" or he never gave out his name at all and people simply started calling him that.
I don't know, someone being called "THE ORIENTAL" sounds kinda cool to me. Maybe he's so badass that everyone in the area respects him, even if they're prejudiced against ghouls.
The Celestial
Probably just a name he or others came up with. Like if he's a legendary bandit hunter or something.
>THE GHOUL
bruv, if you were sitting in a saloon in the old west and a lawman came in asking the bartender about "The Kid' you'd know damn well who he's talking about.
Because he doesn't have a name you moron.
He's The Ghoul With No Name.
You're kinda sounding like The homosexual anon.
Shut up, The Anonymous
The only game where this almost doesnt feel the case is Fallout 3. There were a shit ton of friendly ghoul NPCs
>The only game where this almost doesnt feel the case is Fallout 3
Bethesda literally fricking fabricated the feral ghouls to justify having zombies in their FPS
Feral ghouls were in Fallout 1 moron.
Thats racist
the military theming and the fact that the people making it obviously know nothing about the fallout universe make me think this is just going to be another Monster Hunter type piece of shit
SPBP
never trust vidja movies or series
they all, without exception, suck
monster hunter sucked
halo sucked
how much more slop do you need to be fed to understand?
Monster Hunter the movie? That was based on the Peace Walker Monster Hunter crossover. This is based on Fallout 4 mainly.
It goes without saying that they absolutely should have gotten the RE people to make Fallout, though. It was practically a "Look, Fallout, hire me!" showreel.
Better or worse than the Gaylo TV show? Take your bets.
literally the exact same.
They will tease with fallout designs for one episode and then bits and pieces here and there. the rest will be unrelated drama lifted from some other pitched show that they liked but couldn't make work
It will be a copy of yellowstone, a show that already sucked piss. Nobody is going to watch this.
Yellowstone did worse than suck. It inspired C*lifornians to frick up Montana by moving there.
gaylo show had expectations because of already established characters, etc where Fallout can be any story you wanna make within the world. And while I doubt it will be good I am interested because ghoul cowboy Walter Goggin's and Kyle MacLachlan as a vault overseer.
>Prydwen
>Fallout 4 machine gun
>Bioc**t main character
Equally as bad.
Loved him in Justified, guess we'll see how he does in this.
Can't see how it'd be worse, that show was a fricking travesty. With Fallout, there's established lore/settings/ideas and whatnot, but instead of taking pre-written characters from the game and making some bizarre fanfic of them, it's just people in the setting, which, given that a lot of the staff and actors have been in a number of westerns/western-likes, surely they won't frick it up too badly.
Jesus frick I'd managed to forget about that. Thanks a fricking lot, butthole. better
Halo shit the bed. These are the creators of Westworld. People don't like beyond season one and a few episode two. If they don't sniff their farts too hard with multiple timelines constantly gumming up the big plot it should fly over halo.
It literally cannot be worse than Halo. I'm willing to believe a lot, but not this.
Exactly the same. Can't wait for yet ANOTHER butchering of a beloved video game franchise
same.
It stars a woman so its going to be all Girl Boss up and down the show.
Also endless Marvel quips.
Am I not allowed to like women leads anymore?
You're only allowed to watch men now anon, and this applies to every medium as well.
The Toddhead himself is involved and the creators are the guys behind Westworld. So far it seems like a genuine attempt at a Fallout Story (that also takes place in the game canon) and I like the idea of that protag, feels like a character I'd play in one of these games. The Halo TV show went to shit because instead of trying to adapt Halo it adapted only the most gayass Halo books and then still tried to subvert them.
>So far it seems like a genuine attempt at a Fallout Story
lol
lmao
Well go ahead, prove me wrong. I'm gonna be optimistic for now, why not
>prove me wrong.
Ok.
Bethesda never did nor had any hope of doing a "genuine attempt at a Fallout Story"
Well Bethesda is watching over them but they aren't actually the ones making it. There's no danger of their hack writers getting their hands on.

How the frick could it possibly be worse than John Halo:TV edition?
that looks like shit, please tell me it's an edit
No. That's the second main character of the show blowing up her planets space elevator with a single shot from a MA5B. Now her planet is doomed since that was the most important piece of infrastructure that they relied on for trade.
it's based on Bethesda's Fallout
which is basically the same as 343's
About the same. And You know it's going to be literally gay and have some cringe shit about ghoul discrimination as an unsubtle reference to racism as though it's even remotely comparable.
Just like the games then?
Ghoul discrimination is inarguably justified and more meaningful than any halfassed real-world attempt at a parallel. Cringelord.
Not really. It's pretty easy to tell the difference between a feral ghoul, and a sane one. Even if one starts acting up, you have plenty of tools and equipment both pre war and post war to deal with them.
Also, many of them lived during before the and probably have knowledge on how to repair nuclear cars and other important things. Getting on their bad side and killing will probably in a massive brain drain for the communities they were formerly apart of.
All ghouls eventually go feral.
People already know how to repair nuclear shit and important things without ghouls.
That doesn't really change anything of what I said.
That isnt true, and Harold didn't.
>People already know how to repair
That number of people is very limited.
Yeah it's kinda annoying how they did that. That's a lot of territory just glossed over.
>Harold
Harold isn't technically a ghoul
Fair enough. But I will say that ghouls don't necessarily all turn feral. The ghoulification process is largely inconsistent and unknown.
Harold is an FEV mutant. Not a ghoul.
I think they really should have expanded on this concept. The master and Harold both were incidental, unique abominations but we hardly see much of anything like that after 2. It's always either ghouls or super mutants, not even New Vegas did much new on that front. I think maybe the marked men are supposed to be different but I'm not sure how. Ghost people are a good one but they aren't FEV related I'm pretty sure.
I think Marked Men are basically insane (but not feral) Ghouls. Freshly made by the Divide Nukes and ripped apart by the Divide Storms only to be constantly healed by all the background radiation.
Marked Men aren't insane, just hostile.
Aren't they in constant pain from having their skin ripped off from the sandstorms? Enough to drive most people mad.
Shouldn't ghouls be in pain too? Also it's established that ghouls (feral or not) smell like rotting flesh, which makes the amount of bigotry against them in the games seem very underwhelming. You literally couldn't live next to a ghoul because it'd smell so bad.
Well, you had Mr. House and the brain bots in Big MT.
Yeah, they're good scifi-wise for the universe, but they're not really mutants, certainly not of an FEV based variety. Come to think of it, NV expanded on pretty much everything except for the human FEV mutations. Maybe they didn't want to retread old ground, that'd be my best guess. Probably also why the legion doesn't have any muties in their ranks, it would make it more similar to 3's enemy encounters.
I think New Vegas played with this idea bit more cleverly by adding a great deal of focus on the Nightkin instead of just making a new race of mutants entirely.
They aren't human FEV muties, but I wish wanamingos had come back
What about the plant people in that one vault, or the annoying response version in lonesome road that pop out of the ground.
in the original f1 format ghouls were fev+radiation spawns. Bakersfield population exposed to the diluted fev that escaped the destroyed west tech research facility (the glow) to be more precise. Toddland just retconned them to magic radiation zombies for the most part
harold was just one of them, just he got exposed to it in mariposa
https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Harold#Developer_quotes
>Ghouls are a type of mutant. Harold is a ghoul. He's also a little special.
>So one thing is sure: Harold is not a mix of radiation and FEV. He's got to be one or the other, and I think he's a ghoul.
fine jeez.
And yet the games do make it a point that ghouls are discriminated against like they're a race in and of their own, to the point where they have to form their own communities away from the normies.
I have a feeling it'll be slightly better since it's actually a part of the universe. Everyone keeps forgetting that the Gaylo show wasn't canon to the games/books.
Gaylo TV only exist because Hollywood need inject more woke every media. Fallout series only exist because the lore is generic and stupid, where the gameplay isn't tightly coupled with the story and overall experience.
I feel like it would be hard to make something worse than the Halo show.
Raul exists, why are you acting like this a new idea
Baby Billy looks great
lets be honest, people who still play modern Fallout games deserve this
Yeah I'm really not sure why people are so surprised. Did anybody really think they were going to do this ip any justice with a live action show?
Yes
It is really not that hard imo
Perceived "difficulty" of adapting it isn't what I meant. It's the direction they've obviously gone with it. You know it's going to be terrible, look at who's making it ffs
Don't bother talking to these morons.
The Bethesda acquisition is fitting punishment for releasing the Series S. Frick up an entire generation, frick your life. Good luck firing the blue haired landwhales for incompetence without getting hit with a discrimination lawsuit. Hide behind identity politics die with identity politics.

Argile was twice the chad this dude is.
It's "Argyle" anon, named after an old sweater pattern. which kinda suits the manservant-esque way he comes across.
that's because they based it on fallout 4, the worst game in the franchise
The people with their hands all over fallout haven't understood fallout since fallout 2
Original lore was ass too morons
original lore at least had decency to be consistent. nu-lore is just a series of asspulls because devs don't give a frick.
post-war drugs in pre-war bunker? Who cares!

What do you mean ghouls are not zombies? What do you mean supermutants are not orcs?
Yeah this corpse been lying here for 200 years undisturbed. So what?
Writing doesn't have to be good, it just have to be good enough for my suspension of disbelief to kick in. Bethesda lore fails to do even that.

Gameplay reason
Yes thank you for confirming my point.
>series of asspulls because devs don't give a frick.
>Ive played Fallout 1, they basically are in all but name
They chose the name Necropolis for a reason. Been a really long time but don't the ghouls get referred to as zombies in F1?
Fallout 2
Myron invented Jet.
Also Fallout 2
People were addicted to Jet before Myron was born.
Don't kid yourself. Nobody has ever given a frick about Fallout lore
I dont even think its true, afair he invented new way to make jet cheap.
Anyway, even if its 100% true, you are comparing minor obscure thing like jet to the major retcons which are in dozens, making mutants into orcs, raiders into baclground insane people who want to kill for the sake of it and have no structure, ressurecting bos, enclave and other shit.
But people in this very thread were acting like the Jet retcon is a major thing
Also what's with the "turned mutants into orcs" thing? There's 1, maybe 2 smart mutants in the original, every other mutant was a moron
There are stupid mutants and smart mutants because the smart mutants were made from good genetic meatier along (I.e. people not affected by radiation too much) and the dumb mutants were just wasteland random the Master dipped in the vat. This is why the Master wanted to get his hands on Vault 13. I’m not sure if this is ever explained clearly in the game.
Wrong. Mutants in fallout just humans. Even if it was possible to make them smarter/dumber it wont mean they will start killing everything on sight. They will just become big green humans which would think themselves superior to everyone.
Bethesda mutants are dumb green orcs which butcher humans for fun.
>Wrong. Mutants in fallout just humans.
Ignoring the 'jeet speak, no, they're not. Interplay made them basically just orcs long before Bethesda even had the idea to acquire the game.
Gj exposing yourself as someone who never played fallout.
Prettentious little homosexual.
Starshit lost, soon less players than new vegas
Lets see how you will talk then, troony schizo cultist
The only Bethesda game I've played this year has been Battlespire.
As the other anon said the super mutants being basically orcs goes back to Fallout 1. It is literally a plot point that trying to make super mutants out of wastelanders almost always results in them being moronic.
Wrong
Flaw of mutants in fallout1 is that they are infertile, not their low iq.
Also low iq does not enable orc behaviour. You are moron, you should know. Does your moronation compel you to kill for fun and act irrationaly? Hardly. Even mice do not do that.
Yet mutants in troonout universe of bethesda do exactly that. Because they are orcs. They are comicaly evil for no reason.
>Does your moronation compel you to kill for fun and act irrationaly? Hardly
Explain black people. And yes, low IQ is always correlated to violence/criminality.
Show me a Black person living in a room full of dismembered people parts. Hard mode: no edge cases which only confirm my point.
In addition historicaly violence on a large scale was always carried thanks to the high iq, not the low one. Nig may act up due to his violent nature, but he is not methodical and smart enough to commit any sort of actual atrocity.
>Show me a Black person living in a room full of dismembered people parts
Literally look up how African cannibal tribes behave, anon.
Their behaviour is grossly exxagerated for dramatic reasons and no different from mexican cartels. There is a method in their madness.
Troonout mutants have no method.
>Their behaviour is grossly exxagerated for dramatic reasons and no different from mexican cartels
That's a very weird flex but okay. Have you seen the shit Mexican cartels do? That's very similar to what Super Mutants do.
Are you going to actually play the game instead of pretending to know what the frick you're talking about?
The Master kept Unity going via his own leadership and his first generation(aka non-moron) lieutenants. When Master killed himself many of the Super Mutants either died or fricked off like Jacob, who you pointed out.
Jacob was also a former follower of Unity.
Cope
>can't argue
>lol cope
Just to dab on you have Fallout 1 concept art showing just how fricking orc like they were going to look originally.
Don't forget to dilate and watch hbomberguy's video again, you histrionic homosexual.
Already stated my argument which dismantles your entire narrative, which you decided to ignore in a total desperation.
Cope with your orcs in troonout games.
You've dismantled nothing, anon. All you've done is say "nuh uh".
Remember to do your daily watch of hbomberguy's video before you inject the HRT.
>Flaw of mutants in fallout1 is that they are infertile, not their low iq.
It's both. They dumb ones have be babysat by the smart ones, and that's why the Master uses them as cannon fodder.
It's only when you show him that they're completely infertile that he realizes his plans are fricking unsalvageable.
The reason they're dangerous is the same reason they're dumb: it fricks up their brain and they act irrationally. It's like how downies act.
So when you have a whole group of violent morons in a wasteland setting where food is scarce is there any wonder why they turn into violent cannibals? They're too moronic to think otherwise.
Play Fallout 1 sometimes. It's fun if you can make it out of the cave.
In fallout they clearly organized enough to occupy army base and have functional army structure. So your desperate attempt to retcon shit gave you naught. In facti, in fallout2(and vegas) there is a town full of mutants living with humans wihtout problems. Explain it, troony.
>In fallout they clearly organized enough to occupy army base and have functional army structure.
Anon they were being led by the fricking Master and his non-moron mutants. Have you played the fricking game?
Are you going to ignore my question in increasingly more desperate attempt to force your failed narrative?
Cope.
You don't see raiding bands of super mutants in New Vegas because most of them were hunted down and killed, they're going extinct and the few surviving mutants mostly live in isolated settlements up in the hills. Black Mountain super mutants do the exact same shit as east coast super mutants, they have gore bags and just kill anyone they come by who isn't green or blue.
Whoa! Its almost like... fallout new vegas super mutants are... smart! And they have reasons behind their actions and agression! Unbelievable!
Goddamn son you are a dense motherfricker, you know that?
>fallout new vegas super mutants are... smart!
Tabitha literally talks about how the common and populous second-gen muties are morons and inferior to Master-made muties and regularly calls them dumb-dumbs.
?t=180
>they have reasons behind their actions and agression!
Not really. Tabitha just leaves if you fix Rhonda or save Raul.
tabitha is a nightkin who are explicitly described as being mentally unstable
And yet the dumb-dumbs listen to her, and just go around killing people, almost like orcs being commanded by a dark lord. The Vault 87 mutants are clearly insane too, even lucid ones like Fawkes and Uncle Leo are constantly screaming and slurring their words.
>leo
>fawkes
i dont care about what happens on the east coast
Then why do you think they just suddenly made them orcs for seemingly no reason?
im not the anon you were having a convo with nor will i read the previous comments to continue this conversation, i just wanted to point out that nightkin, of which tabitha is one, are, explicitly, referred to as being DAMAGED
Nightkin aren't stupid. They're just schizos.

As canon as the Frontier.
The Jet thing has been a source of faux outrage for awhile. When the Bethesda haters thought Bethesda screwed it up they were up in arms.
Then it got pointed out Fallout 2 made it pre Myron then NV made Jet pre war they calmed the frick down.
It’s almost like a lot of the outrage and criticism of the Bethesda games is just stupid nitpicking by morons who care way too much about this.
Some still pretend to be mad about it but most have moved on.
>mutants are orcs
>nitpicking
anyone has mutant edit of that dumb moron at bethesda "not interested discussing realism in game with talking ghouls and orcs?"
Yes, that's nitpicking you imbecile
Thats literally one of the most major things in the setting, you dishonest, lying, mindbroken, deranged cultist fanboy piece of shit.

ywnbaw
Super mutants are a big deal in Fallout 1 to be sure. They are canon fodder in the proper Fallout games.
>NV made Jet pre war
fallout 4 made jet pre war because they wanted a bunker full of drugs and were too lazy to come up with pre war shit so they just used jet and psycho and all the other things that were in the lore already.
NV was before 4 you idiot
NV had Jet in a casino locked down since the night of the great war
> The one House lives in?
No the one from the DLC.
If you want to pretend to be mad about this have at it. I am just letting you know you are pretend mad at the wrong devs.
That's an oversight because the medkits use a generic loot list. You can get Hydra which was explicitly invented by the Legion in the Madre vault too, depending on the loot table.
Interesting, it's been a while since I played Dead Money so I didn't recall that. But IIRC people go there in search of wealth and become magical radiation zombies so couldn't the jet have been brought there? Or do you mean it's literally in the sealed Sierra Madre vault itself rather than other areas of the casino?
Well no, it's not in the vault itself.
What kind of jet junkie prospector would leave their shit in first aid kits?
They created several new pre-war drugs, actually. Day tripper, Daddy O and Calmex.

Somehow I think this is from the perspective of people who never played more than the first half hour of any fallout game.
The fact that they are fricking up Bethesda-era Fallout lore as well as the Interplay/Black Isle/Obsidian era shit is laughably incompetent.

I just want to believe that the article is made by someone who only watched the pilot and is just making shit up on the fly rather than being accurate. And I thought that Amazon's lore rape in Rings of Power couldn't be beat.
Raul was too busy being stuck in black mountain so he couldn't come
Fallout is unironically a shit setting. The novelty wears out fast.
Eh, somewhat
I still really like the athmosphere and aesthetic, but i won't deny that i was burnt out for a while after my 3 and NV playthroughs
>Ghoul as the MC of the plot
THANK FRICKING GOD.
I'm tired of fricking Vault Dwellers as main characters.
A Vault Dweller is the main character. She's flanked by a Ghoul and a BoS guy.
Isn't that the crew from Nukaworld?
The main character is a brown vault dweller.

What's your favorite Fallout?
Mine's 3, i really loved D.C, the characters and the companions
2 and new vegas
I do not consider3/4/76 a fallout games
>3 isn’t a fallout game even though it’s functionally identical to New Vegas
If you don’t think Fallout 3 is a fallout game than you don’t think New Vegas is a fallout game.
In what capacity it identical? Please do enlighten me. Your post reeks of agressively unhinged cope so if you are going to make up more dishonest shit frick off.
That's a cute girl
I dislike the writing in 3, but I like how it feels the most. Easily the comfiest fallout game to thrown on while sitting in the bed.
For me, Fallout 1,2, and NV are the main series, 3 is the spinoff game, 4 is the shit reboot, and 76 is the zombie bastardization.
I enjoy tactics and BOS more than 76.
>but I like how it feels the most
Empty?
Yes. Because I can play it over and over an still feel like I'm treading new ground despite very likely having been in the same places. I never get that with the other games, in NV it's easy to remember where everything is, and most of 4 is too dense and forgettable. It's awesome for an explorationgay like me.

Bethesda and it's consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
I just want this to come out so the next gen update for Fallout 4 can show up. PBR rendering and global illumination will be sweet.

That would require Bethesda redoing all their materials.

Nice to see that the centuries of mutation and living in a wasteland hasnt affected his perfect teeth.
A good writer would make it a joke about how he actually wears dentures to make people trust him more and at some point have the hero use the Ghoul's dentures when he needs to convince someone or have the Ghoul take them out at odd times.
Nah that's cringe.
>b-b-but his teef!

The dum-dums have the first generation mutants to keep them in check. Vault 87 and Institute mutants don't. Even still, there are several smart individuals from both East-coast strains, who are shown as outcasts.
It'll be shit, but at best it'll result in more sexy women in jumpsuits.
yjk
don't ghouls like to call people "smooth skin"? this ghouls skin is kinda smooth
How much are you betting this dude won't even try to put on a dry or gruff tone to sound like ghouls do and will just talk in his regular voice

>>In the Falloutgames, Ghouls are typically cannon fodder, mindless zombies whose bodies have been mutated by radiation. The Ghoul is a legend, distinct among his kind for his cleverness and cunning.
You guys do realize that it's Vanity Fair saying this, not the actual people behind the show, right?

This just may be the chud in me warping stories to my worldview, but I get the impression that Bethesda, even today, sprinkles redpills in all of their games. They won't flat out tell you, it's up to you to pick up on it yourself. I think the most obvious example, the least subtle, is opening up Tenpenny Tower to the ghouls and seeing the aftermath of them completely frick over the place and kill all the humans.
The most modern example of Bethesda sprinkling redpills is the diversity of Starfield. It's a warning of the possible future ahead of us. Society could really look like that if we don't start doing something about it today.
>we
can't tell if you're KKK, neo-nazi, Islamic State, Zionist, or CIA
either way, frick off.
Got me scared to see what the deathclaws will look like.
Couldn't look worse than what Interplay wanted them to be.
Frick you I liked the furred deathclaws.
Also if you to really prove your point post the clay model.
How disappointing
Most Ghouls are feral. You never noticed that you mow down hordes of mindless zombies versus the few little enclaves where there's only like twenty ones whose brains haven't rotted?
Western pop media is gay and lame
Buy an ad
Will this show go with the BoS as the cool guys they were in 1 and 2 or the losers they were in the other games?
They are going to make Felecia Day a chapter head. Dont worry, she only sings one of her original songs.
It's set in New California, but I imagine they're going to be generic heroes who want to help the wasteland instead of detestable inbreds who do petty shit like blow up gold reserves and steal toasters.
>It's set in New California
Ah yes, even better for the BoS.
Nothing would go wrong flying a fleet of vertibirds over NCR controlled California followed by a giant frickoff combat blimp. The NCR will take mighty kindly to the Brotherhood of Steel, especially after their bush war.
Don 't worry, I'm sure they retconned the entirely of the BOS NCR war so there was a second one and the NCR is dead forever because we need more power armor. 🙂
Probably just saying the BOS has someone gone allll the way back to Cali to save their original chapters and then we'll get a new west coast game but it will be indistinguishable from 4 and 76
>more power armor
there's no reason the ncr wouldn't have captured brotherhood, us surplus and enclave power armor
They did. That's actually how they got a lot of their vertibirds.
Not enough
Still not enough
Anons these are TV producers trying to write for a show based on a game they don't give a shit about for bethesda why are you thinking they will have any sense whatsoever
Can't beat combat armor.
Kind of a moronic situation with that. Surely they would have found some training manuals at some point or had some brotherhood defectors around to teach people how to use the stuff?
the salvaged power armor is literally only a write-around with the power armor training bethesda added for fo3.
Neither game should have had lootable armor, like fallout 2. The training would have been unnecessary and power armor in general would have been more rare and valuable.
>literally only a write-around
It's not.
>Neither game should have had lootable armor
It has been lootable since the first fallout, and it's lootable in the second one as well.
>power armor in general would have been more rare and valuable
It's not rare because people can actually make more suits now, and more suit have been recovered from further exploration of the wasteland since the first two games.
>It's not.
Yes it is. Power Armor training wasn't a thing until Fallout 3. Obsidian opted to keep the perk despite it not being lore friendly will fallout 1 and 2. They didn't need to extend the need for training in the lore. There would have been no reason for the them to salvage T45d and strip out the mechanics without the PA training requirement being made 'canon'.
>It has been lootable since the first fallout, and it's lootable in the second one as well.
you cannot loot armor from dead npcs in fallout 2. You can in 1, but they removed your ability to do that in fallout 2
>It's not rare because people can actually make more suits now
I mean in a gameplay sense, not a lore sense.
You know what, I actually forgot that power armor training wasn't just for moving around in armor when it's been powered down. Nevermind.
>you cannot loot armor from dead npcs in fallout 2
It's still lootable.
>I mean in a gameplay sense
Even in a game play sense, no.
I swear to fricking God if the show says anything about the NCR totally collapsing because of jwifesufbdsaf as an excuse to make everything out of rusted washboards and tin cans and for the BoS to swoop in as the gallant knights I'm going to send Todd Howard a very, very strongly worded email on the verge of an anger induced stroke.
Imagine if they also took over new vegas.
What if NCR was destroyed because Chris Av... I mean Ulysses shot missiles to their ass, and the Brotherhood is here to stablize this region?
The classic BoS were always good people who wanted to help and only recently stopped letting outsiders join until NV made them do a 180
They even ended 1 by slowly reintroducing advanced tech out to the populace and, iirc, becoming researchers
And then they a turned into lame zealots who should have stayed died in New vegas.
Are you saying that New Vegas DIDN'T ruin them? Because it did
New Vegas didn't ruin them. 3 did. New Vegas was just simply putting them down.
How did new vegas ruin them?
The classic BoS literally send you on a death quest as a joke.
Fallout 1 and 2 protrayed the Brotherhood as far too insular and wary of the outside world. Even by the time of two, it was evident the Brotherhood were gradually lagging behind as the world moved on. The Mojave Chapter is the most reasonable extension of their "arc". While Fallout 3 and 4 are badly written, it is probably reasonable to assume the Brotherhood would need serious reform to stay around, much less remain a powerful presence in the wasteland.
Reform? They need total annihilation.
Mr. House plz....
The world has no use for emotionally unstable techno-fetishists. Just wipe them out, will you?
they'll probably do the moralgay BoS and cartoonishly evil Enclave like FO3.
They should make the tv show about ghoul companion from nv. It would be kino
And with my careers final breath, it lays a curse upon ye and ye children and ye children's children.
Hark! The sweet lamentations of the nerds and the geeks and the fans!
For future use
Jesus christ, you can already mark off 10 of them from 8 screenshots.
they'd already leaked that the antagonist is going to be an up-and-coming NCR politician named Ron Trumm
the BoS considers him a threat to the stability of democracy in the Wasteland or something
Why would the BoS care about democracy?
Bullshit
That's too on the nose, even for them
Weird seeing post of this comic on three different boards I'm on at the same time.
Which ones?
/v/, /misc/, and Ganker.
Funny I first found the comic on /misc/.
lol
What comic?
Out of Placers. Its a webcomic.
Thanks
Big gay if true. BoS shouldn't care though.
wouldn't the BoS and NCR just be straight up at war/too hateful and high tension to bother caring about each other's politics unless it's involving sabotagaing the other?
That all comes down to how New Vegas canonically ended.
Which is going to be decided by people that only looked at Fallout 4 screenshots.
>That all comes down to how New Vegas canonically ended
Nope, even if you ally the Mojave Chapter with the NCR, the ending states that the war is still continuing elsewhere.
even if the Brotherhood and NCR teamed up on Caesar's legion the NCR would literally just turn around and betray them in like 10 years tops, unless they had like a massive political shift which would not be possible if they win hoover
>takes place after all the games
I thought this stupid fricking garbage would be done like 76, set early enough and far out of the way so that if it needed to be memory holed it wouldn't effect anything. What the absolute frick is wrong with Bethesda for okaying this.
i think you dont understand. The purpose of this west coast commiefornia production is to overwrite the original fallouts+nv lore. They will be non canon going forward with toddland on east coast+what this tv thing is supposed to be the offical version
>The Brotherhood (cultist military technocracy/meritocracy) cares about the democracy of the literal Neo-American Government with elections
They can't be THIS moronic.. right?
Why do NV trannies think their game is maligned or hated? Fricking everyone says New Vegas is their favourite game.
You homosexuals are so obnoxious with the persecution complex you are making me like the game less. Holy frick.
>communism good
Im going to predict theres going to be some non-robotic character thats super patriotic to the point that its more comical than liberty prime in order to paint communism in a good light.
TOTAL HOLLYWOOD DEATH
It was kind of fricked up that bethesdas idea of a good metaphor for tolerating black people were dudes who were literally rotting.
>assault rifle from fallout 4
it's over before it could even begin
literally all they had to do to have a big gun that looks archaic from the timeline split is give the brotherhood thugs M60's or 1919's
God T-60 looks like utter shit.
Why couldn't it just be a T-51b and a P-94 plasma rifle?
Because Bethesda didn't make those, and they desperately want people that remember the first two fallouts to forget them.
Why do TV adaptations of video games suck so much. The game is RIGHT THERE. How is it so hard to translate whats in the game to a TV production.

Literally in the first two games
It's been a long time, but I've always thought the first two had more 80s vibes than 50s vibes
It may have had a few more 80s aspects to it, but it's always been 50s focused.
All the grungy 80s trash stuff like the leather and punks and the porno joint stuck with me more than any 50s elements
I think the issue is that people don't really grasp that
>pre-war America still had a lot of the 50's culture and aesthetic, but it wasn't exclusively 50's.
>post-war America aesthetic started to look more like the real-world post-60's, which leaned hard into goth, punk, bikers, etc.
You may like the wasteland series better then.
True.
pic related has a pulp sensibility very different from Bethesda's constant barrage of Ink Spots, Nuka Cola, and Americana generally. Bethsda would set their games before the apocalypse if they could get away with it. It's obvious Todd etc. like that stuff and general audiences respond well to it too
I very much disagree. All three of those aspects have been heavily prevalent in fallout since day 1.
And if anything, betheseda prefers the apocalypse. That why the east coast is still mainly wasteland. Interplay/oblivion actually progressed the west coast and even industrialized. Bethesda prefers scrap towns, rubble, and ruins.
Bethesda prefers to wrap their games in the 1950s pre-apocalypse. They don't build new societies.
In F1/F2 it was always very clear that the old world was dead and the game was about exploring the new kinds of societies that evolved in the many years since mankind reset.
It's interesting to me that the one modern Fallout game made by (some) of the original devs didn't play into the 1950s thing nearly as much.
I semi agree with this. I do think bethesda wraps their games with the pre war. But I also think interplay/obsidian did the same as well. The difference between them is that while they did put a lot of focus on the pre war aspect of the games, they balanced that attention with a strong focus on the world after the apocalypse, and how it picks up the pieces.
i generally agree with you but The Kings exist, man. some tribals thinking Elvis is a god is hilarious, a whole gang of them calling me baby or whatever on the strip is fricking stupid and 100% panders to the "50's fever"/pulp comic aesthetic that fallout 1 and 2 acknowledged but never fully leaned into imo.
I like to headcanon that Mr House someone influenced them to act that way. Like House was trying to offer them employment and to take a similar "hat" of that of the Chairmen but leaning more into an Elvis/singer thing. They declined, obviously, but I think they must've still found the idea fascinating enough to adopt it. For all we know, perhaps the reason why they're so ignorant of who Elvis actually was is because House purposely made sure all infomation concerning him was scrapped.
Hell, in Fallout 2 there are whole ass nice walled cities and shit
Vegas looks like a total shithole compared to even that and it would probably have developed even further by NV
Yep.
Tim Cain was actually pretty fond of how Fallout 3 depicted the post-nuclear world, his complaints were more about the gameplay systems and the ending than anything else.
>Tim Cain was actually pretty fond of how Fallout 3 depicted the post-nuclear world, his complaints were more about the gameplay systems and the ending than anything else.
No argument? Okay.
Wrong image? It's true.
https://rpgcodex.net/content.php?id=8416
Las Vegas was a shithole just before the NCR rolled in, which isn't that long ago. The families were literal tribals within living memory. When the NCR showed up at the Dam, House finally rolled his robots out and recruited the tribes to work his casinos.
>simping for fo3

>everyone complaining about the woman and the ghoul
>meanwhile I'm annoyed by how much Bethesda is pushing the BOS as the series's mascot

The BoS got their own spin-off game
The Tin Can Crew have always been the mascots
I'm annoyed by how much Bethesda is pushing the BOS as the series's mascot
You're 15 years late to that discussion buddy.
I could see enclave remnants still causing trouble and being an issue in the NCR home states, and they feasibly *could* call in some bunker buddies from other commonwealths.
>I could see enclave remnants still causing trouble and being an issue in the NCR home states
Fricking how? Navarro was half a century ago at this point. By any real metric, any Enclave remnant has died of old age or is a dementia ridden moron.
Old men with cybernetic enhancements that let them excel despite their years, more machine than man at this point.
>Old men with cybernetic enhancements

A NEW AGE
You gotta think, these were the deep state, the power hungry plutocrats that wanted to see more death and destruction because that's what they profited off of. These people have to have at least some amount of cybernetics. If Robert Edwin House could build a life prolonging chamber, and if Big MT could cut their brains out and put them in glass bubbles, these guys must have technology beyond even that. President Richardson and President Eden probably aren't even the deepest level.
If there isn't a character with their arm full of needles and a Jet inhaler in their mouth charging at someone with a power fist, the series will be missing the soul of playing 3D Fallout.
House and the mad scientists were the turbo-geniuses of the Pre-War era. I don't think there were many other people on their level.

What's moronic about it? Why would the pre-war masterminds of the nuclear war not seek out eternal life? Every conspiracy theory you hear about modern day deep state, glow-in-the-dark, globalist cabals is (also) true about the Enclave. Why would they stop at some old, balding man on a derelict oil rig off the coast of San Francisco and a smart computer? Why would they even tell you who they are?
there were other strongholds, armories and bunkers around. Its not unfeasible that detachments left without leadership form their own kingdoms.
At least that is what smarter writers would do which is way too much to hope from the forever apocalypse guys currently in charge
>The gunners have energy weapons and some power armor
>No relation to the Enclave whatsoever, who never appeared in 4 in any capacity besides one single fricking guy
I'm still mad.
>energy weapons and some power armor
Both were still prevalent outside the enclave, and quite abundant in the military, and private megacorps.
But it would have been COOL anon!
Eh.
>Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee in one commonwealth
lol feels like they got last pick, what a goofy combo
The main character vault dweller going to be female. Not watching a female lead show. In the trash it goes. I bet good money that all the faction leaders are women and ghouls are used in some racial analogy. You will NEVER see more then one supermutant on screen at a time and it will be horrible c.g.i. Also in the last few episode they will bring out c,g.i liberty prime. Also look forward to Nuka cola everwhere but no other in lore based companies like robco or red rocket. Finally the main enemy is the enclave and their leader is a trump analog. There I spoiled the whole show, no need to watch.

>I think of dour comic relief.
DESU, I think most ghouls prior to 3 were like that. with the exception of Seth.
Weren't the BoS basically getting their shit pushed in by NCR to the point of extinction on the west coast? Why the hell is there so many of them? I find it hard to believe they would send their entire force out west. They even brought the fricking Prydwen. But if they did, that implies Legion lost and collapsed at the battle of Hoover Dam or the BoS wiped the floor of them (and likely NCR) which would warrant a boycott of this dogshit. Hopefully this is all just flashback shit. Hopefully.
It's not the west coast brotherhood. Even if they did survive the events of new vegas, they would still be a smaller power for a good while after.
This brotherhood is from the east.
what i find funny is how they still handle fly over states like some couple of hours of plane ride. Everybody warps between east coast and west coast like its a small annoyance. When in reality crossing it by foot or slow mode like horseback is going to take half a year at minimum. Even that slow ass zeppelin is going to take a while as its a giant target in the sky to take pot shots at
this is before all of the dangers on the way like hostile locals and wildlife
They're probably from East, Maxson's chapter, considering the ship is named after Arthurian legend. Possibly meaning Maxson won in Fo4 so now they have enough resources to send another armies to the west.
This I think would actually be interesting. A really powerful BoS chapter coming to deal with the NCR after they basically removed the BoS from their territory. Maxson was basically accepted as a first among equals by the other chapters too, so it'd be a cool conflict.
Also they might put in Liberty Prime for fanservice. Would be kind of funny to see it nuke what's basically a postwar reconstruction of the country it's so patriotic about.
>"doe-eyed" female protagonist
DOA
Whatever became of the Water Merchants from Fallout?
The Hub? It's one of the NCR core states and its major commercial center.
I meant the organisation
Is it still kicking?
Unknown, but probably since after the collapse of the NCR dollar, the Hub brought back the bottle cap which is backed by water from the Hub.
>people speculating about a returning Enclave
Can we get a resurrected Frank "Semper Fi, Mutie" Horrigan? I would forgive any sins against lore to see my mans Frank rip a dude in power armor in half.
Doubtful. Frank was probably a one of a kind specimen. Unless, they somehow transmitted the research and data to another unseen enclave remnant.
If the experiments that made Frank Frank could be reliably replicated, they would have probably made more than one of the guy who could literally tear Deathclaws apart barehanded.
Probably.
Speaking of deathclaws, I wonder if they'll ever give intelligent ones a second go.
Everyone whose worked on the game considers intelligent deathclaws a mistake.
Yeah. One thought they were too silly. Two others wanted them to be monsters, not librarians.
Quite Frankly, I don't think the idea of intelligent deathclaws to be silly, even including the librarian ones. I feel the universe has plenty of room for them, especially with all the other silly things with in it.
However, I also think you could have terrifying intelligent deathclaw enclave agents as well.
they would work in the super predator sense where they dont talk about the virtuous of shakespeare but are adapt in learning to manipulate machinery and complex problem solving to hunt the player
Perfect.
I'd be down for that if they can get Michael Dorn.

Why are you randomly making Frank sexist?
I'm not, the producers are because pro-american man bad. Also before 76 there was no such thing as female enclave soldiers.
Who the frick is Daisy Whitman?
BESIDES her, fine. She's like the only one, I forgot. Still there aren't very many of them.
There aren't very many Enclave characters to begin with.
True, but the vast majority of them are male.
I didn't say he wasn't an antagonist dumbass I'm just pointing out how because he's big, masculine, and powerful they would make him be shown up by le strong independant woman because that's what they do now. They did it with cheif in the halo show, they did it with that one black b***h in starwars, they will do it in fallout. Maybe not specifically to him, but I am confident they will do it because that's what they do, you know it's true.
He was already shown up by le strong independant woman when my Chosen One kicked his mutie ass
Chosen One is canon male, just like you :^)
>canon
Chosimba is hinted to have possibly been a guy, but it's not actually confirmed.
Vault Dweller was a dude, though.
>Chosimba is hinted to have possibly been a guy, but it's not actually confirmed
Nope, he's canonically Mr. Bishop's father as of NV
Nope. It's a nod to it, but not confirmed. The Bishop bawds spread their legs for anyone, which leaves wiggle room.
Marcus outright avoids gendering the tribal. If they were meant to be canon male, he would have referred to his friend as such.
A male Chosen One can have a child with either Angela or Leslie Anne Bishop, resulting in Mr. Bishop's birth.
there's female enclave troopers in 2, you can tell from the combat text.
>pro-america man bad
Yes, Anon, the dumb mutie brute who hates you for being a mutie is, in fact, the bad guy.
Frank and the Enclave don't give a single frick about sex. They care about impurity.
This guy's nose looks fake. Overall not the best Ghoul look I've seen. Seems based on the 4 look but even less extreme that that. Ghouls are supposed to be fricking abominations who then casually walk up to you and talk to you like a regular fella with a sore throat.
The show does seem to be following Fallout 4 a lot at least visually. Realistically though, I don't see how they could be faithful to the original vision of ghouls in current day. It is too grotesque for general audiences, even those explicitly going in for a 'post-apocalyptic' show. I'm recalling the ghoul in Fallout 2 Redding or some other town who is attracting flies in the heat and wants you to go divert some power from the town generator to his house. That quest is what I always remember about ghouls.
Not to mention you'd have to cake the actor in layers of complicated, uncomfortable make-up.
This is bethesda lore my man, it's practically non-cannon compared to the real Fallout games.
This lad is supposed to be literally rotting alive ans yet he looks prettier than an average modern videogame woman.
Man I'm concerned about what'd going on with the boneyard, especially since in the lore, it's already been turned into an ncr urban center.

LA is large enough that vast majority of it would be still ruins. Yes you get civilized strongpoints acting as trade hubs/scavenger centrals yet no way are the small populations of fallout going to completely clean out the large area rubble. Greenery would do that way before
Are people here so moronic that they think “The *BLANK*” nickname means there is only one in the world like it? Your character’s title in fricking fallout 1 is “The Vault Dweller” it doesn’t mean there is only one vault dweller, but that it’s the most known one in the region.
You have a fundamental misunderstanding of both sides. The article is basically claiming that there aren't many important ghouls across the series. It's technically correct in that most ghouls you come across are feral, but some of the major players across the series are fricking ghouls. I mean the first game has an entire fricking city of them.
The article isn't written by the actual showrunners, it's written by Vanity Fair. You think Vanity Fair is going to get the details completely right?
>You think Vanity Fair is going to get the details completely right
Probably more right than Bethesda's advisor since it's fricking Emil of all people
Most sentient ghouls are looked down upon by humans in the fallout universe so much so that those with human respect throughout the franchise can be counted on your fingers. A nickname like “The Ghoul” isn’t one given by other ghouls
troony Vegas did the same shit back in 2011, and none of you complained
>Expectations
>Subverted.
This is what top tear movie script writing looks like. Don't be mad because you can't appreciate good things.
>“We had a lot of conversations over the style of humor, the level of violence, the style of violence,” says Howard, who’s also an executive producer of the show. “Look, Fallout can be very dramatic, and dark, and postapocalyptic, but you need to weave in a little bit of a wink…. I think they threaded that needle really well on the TV show.”
Look at those big guys in that clunky armor, what are they some kind of Brotherhood of Steel™?
It's established throughout the series that there are different variants of ghoulification, different stages, and varying levels of "decay", and that not all ghouls are even pre-war.
Good luck finding an actor who's willing to obscure his face like that
Pedro Pascal's most famous role is the one where he obscures his face. Before that he was just that one dude that dies in GOT and the other dude in Narcos.
The Mandalorian was a very notable exception. I'd love it if the industry took notice but I'm not too hopeful
The only solace I had as a Fallout fan was knowing Bethesda kept their shit far, far away from the west coast.
I hated what Bethesda did with the series and thought the east coast games were mostly dogshit in terms of writing and setting but at the end of the day it was kept separate from the real series.
I don't know who convinced them to do this, if it was Amazon, the studio, the writer, whoever, but the fact that they are coming out of the gates saying this is canon is a spit in the face to anyone that gave two shits about the series. Los Angeles isn't some podunk wasteland shithole, it's one of the most significant locations in the entire series and just from the screenshots it's clear they know absolutely frick all about it, like absolutely fricking nothing. Not a single writer has the faintest idea about the series they are writing for outside of Fallout 4. It's almost like Bethesda intentionally kept them in the dark. Fallout 4 directly references the NCR and what's shown so far doesn't even line up with that. How the frick did this even get made? Fallout is well past the point of flanderization, this isn't even the same series anymore.
Bethesda slowly and gradually sapped everything Fallout out of Fallout for mass appeal in the most brazen and thorough way possible, it's like turning Half Life into Fifa.
All that's left is the iconography and I guess I need to thank Bethesda for revealing that to me because now I fully understand what Ulysses was talking about.
I work on the production company. Ask me anything about the movie.
How wide is your butthole?
Wait, so it takes place after new vegas AND on the west coast AND is canon? I guess we'll know which ending actually happened.
The fact they didn't just set it in the east gives me SOME hope it won't just be another turd, but not a lot.
The prydwen appearance is curious too. Maybe the powerful east coast BoS is coming home to push NCR's shit in? They definitely could, based off of their fallout 4 potrayal. I guess it means we'll get a fallout 4 ending too since it gets destroyed in about half of them.
I'm most interested in these clarifications since we won't be getting another fallout game untill the 2030s and Fallout 4 didn't even reveal which NV is canon. Grim.
Place your bets about the ending. Hoping for House, but expecting NCR.
House ending and BoS + Minutemen ending would be my choices
I think an institute ending would be kind of interesting too, since they do end up taking over the commonwealth like they originally intended to. They're also big MT tier advanced, so they'd be the most interesting choice as far as actually progressing the east coast. Minutemen + Institute for me.
Then again, I don't want the last Maxson to die, so it's a tough choice.
from what you can tell from this limited marketing, including the ai slopped promotional material, its just going to be f4 on west coast. they even have the gigabrain behind beths magnum opuses, emil, as main advisor on set
I assume NCR and minuteman enclave will return to set up eventual battle for cheyenne mountain complex
I hope they have a single non-sequitor line about the NCR being totally wiped out by the tunnelers and have them never mentioned again. It's what Chris would want. War never changes.
And people say Bethesda doesn't respect NCR than Obsidian did.
Fallout 1 was the only game where Ghouls were cannon fodder, and that's basically because the Necropolis was Hostile On Sight unless you were a mutie like them. They were sentient and had a tribalist social structure which you simply did not interact with.
Maybe Todd's bad writer friend Emil thought Ghouls were all mindless? Yeah that guy's writing is fricking terrible. just look at Sloppafield.
Emil is one of the most incompetent dumbfricks at Bethesda. Even as Todd's butt buddy I'm floored his stupid ass still has a job. Dark Brotherhood wasn't even that good, let alone good enough to carry your entire career for nearly 20 years.
well luckily beths haydays are over. The ancient gamebyro is finally catching up to them and even regular superficial players are complaining how bad and bland the writing is. tes6 is going to be todds last ego trip and without him emil loses his main patreon. that and emil is pretty old himself. for better or worse management changes are coming
>even regular superficial players are complaining how bad and bland the writing is
The visceral reactions to Fallout 76 and Starfield by the most braindead of consumers were some of the most cathartic things I've ever witnessed.
I'm so happy Bethesda is finally done, this show could potentially be the final nail in the coffin of public opinion.
The Bethesda Fallouts have more lucid ghouls than the non-Bethesda Fallouts.
most of the ghouls of necro were passive aggressive and directed you to seth. The ones outside only really got hostile if you got straight up in their face. As did the glowing ex vault dwellers under it
on the whole they seemed to be a miserable bunch that didnt like outsiders as they hated how they looked
I'm just no watching because the MC is a girl. I'm sick of it.
As a huge fallout fan it does look good tbh.
>As a huge fallout fan it does look good tbh.
Theyve done their home work visually, setting it nine years after F4 gives room for content. Its also not the Prydwen, but another airship. Meaning a new one Was built.
>Its also not the Prydwen, but another airship. Meaning a new one Was built.
So you're telling me this seemingly philanthropic sect of the BoS has enough resources to manufacture a fricking nuclear powered combat zeppelin but not enough resources or goodwill to upgrade the two biggest settlements on the east coast, half of a rusted battleship and Fenway park filled with recycled garbage?
I dont think it was ever said there weren't other ships under construction
I don't think we know much about what happened to DC after Fallout 3, but I would assume it's basically a BoS controlled state, with everything that comes with that.
>but not enough resources or goodwill to upgrade the two biggest settlements on the east coast, half of a rusted battleship and Fenway park filled with recycled garbage?
Who said they didn't? Maybe people in River City abandoned their ship and moved somewhere closer to the Jefferson Memorial, after the Brotherhood eliminated super mutants threat. Maybe people of Diamond City after moved to outer villages after Fallout 4 when the 'cleanisng the Commonwealth' is completed. Who knows?
He looks just like a normal guy without a nose.
Why couldn't they hire one of the makeup artists from TWD?
They’re not supposed to be zombies, the only game that made them that way was Brotherhood of Steel.
I just hope power armor is shown as powerful and not fodder. That stuff is what let America start kicking Chinese ass.

I bet we will hear some reference to the lone wanderer or the sole survivor. Normies wont get it but we will
I imagine something like this.
>Lucy : What's this medicine? X...111 compound?
>Brotherhood Scribe : Oh, it's a upgraded version of Radaway made by a senior scribe in Citadel. I heard that the sentinel there helped making it.
Only first-gen super mutants were intelligent and even they had plenty of morons like Harry.
Second-gens were pretty much all morons.
which gen were the ones the enclave made at mariposa? 2nd?
Yeah. First-gen were the Master's. Second-gen were the Enclave's.
Making up bullshit explanation for your moronic retcon doesnt change retcon from being moronic.
Where do mutants even come from?
Who is making them?
Its said in troonout4 institute made them, yet its not the case because there are no facilities in institiute to create mutants. So its cheap bs dismissive explanation.
Truth is they are orcs.
You're getting increasingly schizo, anon. But I'll indulge you.
I haven't played enough Fallout 4 to verify if Institute claims they made them but I'll assume you're not lying. They're probably talking about the FEV experiments that resulted in the Fallout 3/west coast Super Mutants. The west coast super mutants existing at all is bad writing is something I'll grant you.
Mutants in 3 make more of themselves via dunking people they grab into FEV. Once again pretty bad writing but Bethesda wasn't even going to include them in FO3 until fan's b***hed so I'm not surprised.
BTW sources are saying that they're going to make it canon that Vault Tec launched nukes first to accelerate
Vault-Tec and the Enclave are buddy-buddies, the difference between them isn't entirely clear.
Then it is utterly stupid if Vault-tec executives died from the Great War. I mean, if they really wanted to start the nuclear apocalypse, shouldn't they do it inside the vault?
You guys know that an adaptation can... adapt things...
Like how your mom's c**t adapted to your bulbous head.
