>not interested in discussing how realistic things are in an alternative--
i fucking hate it when people resort to this argument. its called suspending disbelief; you achieve that by sewing a believable narrative. when something doesnt add up and an explanation isnt their to clarify, then u just done fucked up.

fallout 1 and 2 aren't canon, deal with it, sweeiecakes.

Eternal reminder that anything Fallout related with Bethesda's name on it should never be considered canon.

otherwise known as "internal consistency

seriously though, I don't think around F3 anyone imaged they'd disregard the lore that made the company IRL BILLIONS.

Think about that for a micro second, Todd is a multi-millionaire.

>>385488763
The lore is fine some of the time, but the big thing that takes me out of it is Bethesda thinking people wouldn't actually have cleaned up their living spaces or decently rebuilt in 200 years. The first 2 Fallout games got that right.

>>385490857

Fuck, in NV they tell you that the NCR has actually reached some semblance of pre-war living, complete with government corruption and bullshit politics.

>>385492332
Tactics is still semi-canon as long as it doesn't conflict with actual canon. This is known.

>>385491996
You know what I meant

I'd fuck someone for a lore book. One untouched by Bethesda, of course.

Projection is healthy anon, don't tell me you're one of those casuals who like that sjw garbage COD.

Bethesda game lore is always a double-edged sword because while it's always fascinating it forever leaves us in a perpetual state of extreme blue-balls as the in-game stuff always fails to measure up.

>>385492589

Fuck Bethesda and fuck nu-Fallout they didn't even bring back the goddamn McRib. I hate modern day vidya developers with all of my heart.

>>385492774
But why???
Who would be so cruel and unusual? Is this all because they got bullied for being nerds back in high school?

>>385492756
Bethesda does not write good lore. Obsidian does.

>>385492847
Since it was written by MCA while Black Isle still existed I'd say it is.

>>385492940

It doesn't get anymore fucking canon than the goddamn Fallout bible.

>>385492896
I said bethesda game lore, in other words games that bethesda owns.

TES has some amazing background lore with all of Kirkbride's stuff, but it's never going to see the light of day in-game now is it?

>>385492870
Yes, and also because when you build one of the most incredibly advanced scientific R&D facilities unknown to man and leave it staffed by undying brains in jars in a post apocalytic society for hundreds of years, you swiftly stop doing science as a means to an end and start doing it just to see what you can do.

But the Sierra Madre got the suits BEFORE the war, during the construction

You did read some of those terminals, yeah?

I've never played fallout 1 or 2, can someone give me the overarching lore in them?

Tbh if you don't like Bethesda fallout, you should go to no muties. /v/ loves to suck off bethesdashit for NV more than 3, but truth is they're both pretty bad fallout games, 3 by far. At least NV has more choices and character development. Go figure that Bethesda would fuck it up even worse with 4. The fact is the lore for both 3 and 4 are fucked severely because Bethesda doesn't care about fallout, only the brand name they can slap on their version of skyrim with guns.

>tfw Fallout has enough gaps in its lore that you can come up with all sorts of plotlines and characters and have it fit in just fine

>>385493261
No need to get snippy m8, I wasn't even talking specifically about the sierra madre. Even if you factor in the pre-war unethical experiments, it can be reasonably inferred that they literally did everything just to see the outcome. I mean, don't forget that the Sierra Madre itself was the victim of a ridiculous construction swindle too. The entire creation if that resort was beset upon by corruption from all sides.

Just like that

>>385493338
Vault dweller goes to get water chip, finds a bunch of brainwashed muties that are controlled by The Master in the vault where the water chip is. Vault Dweller brings water chip back to his vault and is subsequently kicked out because he's too much of an outsider to come home. Fallout 2, ancestors of first vault dweller need a GECK (garden of eden creation kit) and you gotta fite the enclave and basically cripple them before returning home

Because science without ethics and morals is the purest form of research.

>>385493413

I say this as the oldest of old school Fallout fags, but the only way you can say NV is a bad Fallout, is from the context that any non-isometric Fallout is shit by default, which is just dumb.

New Vegas is fantastic.

>>385493723
truly the Ps2 had a great library.

BG: DA gave us a whole host of games for other ip's skinned over the relatively 'simple' game, that allowed the games to be faithful installments and still do stuff differently / new

>>385493918
Dino was a cool dude.

>>385493918
The only aspect of modern Fallout's alternate 50s boner I actually really like is how every single company in it has the exact lax safety standards and disregard for human life that pre-50s Hollywood had.

>>385493813
New Vegas just bugs the shit out of me because of the the factions all being total shitheads. I do agree with you, it is a good game, but personally it just gets on my nerves

Guy had serious issues, but then again, when you're forced to fend for your life in the place you sought to destroy for over 200 years, anyone would have issues. It's a wonder he stayed sane.
