    They explained why - the triple Vault setup was part of the experiment. 2 Vaults were for the purpose of maintaining relatively varied genetic stock and the 3rd “control” vault helped them introduce specific individuals that would both control the other 2 vaults and contribute to the ultimate...

    I would love a Fo1/2 remake/remaster that fixed the dated UI

    The scientists presumably used post-war irradiated animals for the experiments. Fallout 76 had a similar concept for one of the vaults and pre-war prototype FEV experiments conducted by WestTek (before super mutants)

    Regarding Wombat's post 1) We didn't get to view any "common man" situations by the time the bombs drop. They're at a wealthy birthday party in the 1st episode and even in the other pre-war flashbacks, it is pretty much just Hollywood and the homes of wealthy people. Hardly representative of...

    You get completely fucked by the flying gunships if you don't have the right loadouts to counter them. We had a map with 2 control towers right near eachother and suddenly had 6 gunships all gangbanging our squad while we couldnt do shit lol

    Different opinion: Retcons aren't really retcons if you have unreliable narrators or data sources providing the original information and the "retcon" fills in the blanks. For example: Fallout 76 adds a lot more backstory to the Brotherhood of Steel. Maxson still founds the BoS, but it adds...

    They added a regular Fallout questline/story to the game years back. While the game is online, you can pretty much do everything solo and most of the story interiors are instanced. There are also 'dungeons' you can run solo if you like - Expeditions that bring you to The Pitt or Atlantic...

    I think so long as you've logged in while a major order has been active, you'll get credit when you log in again if the order is met

    I never played Fallout Tactics, but I got it for free years back (Bethesda gave FO1, 2, and Tactics for free to people who bought FO76). Is it like Xcom?

    Titus wasn’t just being a dick, he was threatening the squire with execution to mask his own failings. Not too far a stretch that Titus could have just been like “this pussy almost got me killed” and they take the word of the knight over him Although Maximus was a piece of shit to his squire...

    Fallout - New Vegas

    NV is on par with 3 in terms of mechanics and graphics, so 3 might make NV feel “samey” in terms of how it plays. Certain mechanics in 4 might spoil you as well - power armor in 4 is actual power armor, not just regular armor you slap on your character like in 3/NV

    Titus was a little bitch that wanted to blame someone and let them die to cover his own ass, so letting him bleed out is whatever That later scene with Maximus and the squire makes Maximus look like a psycho/Titus, though

    I just had a realization: they may have indirectly confirmed the canon ending to FO4 is Minutemen or BoS. During the mission briefing in ep1, they talk about getting orders from high clerics in the Commonwealth. Since the BoS is wiped out in the railroad and Institute endings, that means the...

    Enclave and Vault Tec were in cahoots from what I recall from the games. The Enclave originally wanted to live off-planet and the vaults were testbeds for that

    First episode was great - liked the vault. The kid who played the daughter in the intro was a pretty good actor - the “is it your thumb or mine?” delivery was heartbreaking Seems to capture the spirit of the game well Not sure why the usual suspects on the forum are crying about Lucy - she...

    Even if you go with your story, there is a big difference between him killing his wife or handmaiden vs. killing some ranking individual in his lord's army.

    Did you ignore the part where he WANTED to kill John and asked permission? He is still rules based. John was raised in rank significantly - if Buntaro just flat out murdered John without permission from his Lord, then his own life would be forfeit and he would be dishonored. Buntaro sought...

    Civil War (2024)

    Reviews of the movie seem to suggest the premise is heavily divorced from political reality for the most part. CA and TX banding together is more of a “what happens if 2 of the biggest economic powerhouses of the country decide to fuck off from the union?”

    The nano wire method meant that even if the info was cut by the wire, the cut would be clean enough to restore the hardware. They wanted to avoid explosives or people smashing the stuff with a hammer

    Shōgun

    My understanding is the series is being received well in Japan. The book Shogun and the series are inspired/based on true events, so people well versed with the actual history during that period might find some of the creative liberties. But then again, someone familiar with the actual history...
