Yeah. What the show did to the NCR and New Vegas is more than a little infuriating. Especially given that Bethesda considers the show to be canon. ===== As for Nate being part of that broadcast . . . So what? It seems some people think that the person who got executed was innocent even though...

For an earlier comment . . . I don't really think the Brotherhood elements in Alaska will ever really amount to anything more than a mild annoyance at best. The core of the Brotherhood's controlled territory has some of the lowest population levels of Pre-War America. Hell, it's probably why the...

And just for further clarity on the Earth 21X0 tangent. Shit gets real bad. Global conflict fucks things hard, but the US had a robust enough missile shield that it wasn't as badly fucked as everyone else. US still collapses. Twelve former states band together to create the United Civilized...

Funny, because the AI from the Earth 21X0 games was completely loyal and genuinely acted in the best interests of the United Civilized States. To the extent that the AI not pulling a Skynet was actually a plot point in 2160. Granted, said AI still de facto took over the UCS bloodlessly by being...

Yeah. It's another gameplay and story segregation thing. When you have to grab a Courser as part of the story, you see how scary they're supposed to be from a story perspective when he just rips through a building full of Gunners. But the gameplay just flat out isn't going to match that because...

It was destroyed. In the canon version of Mothership Zeta, you and the other characters take over the ship and have to use it to fight off another ship. You succeed and the other characters basically take care of the ship for you. In this fic's timeline they weren't able to decisively win...

It's always a fun phrase when negotiating a deal. You tell someone they'll get exactly what they deserve and they always think it means they'll get what they think they deserve, and never what the other person thinks they deserve.

Over a long enough range, the more powerful lasers will diffuse faster. But this is generally at ranges well outside what would be typical in infantry engagements. For the same level of energy, something like an anti-ballistic missile defense system would probably be more effective when using...

Yeah. There's some complicated stuff as to why . . . Differences in wavelengths of the light and the like . . . But the main thing is that blue lasers tend to have a better energy density and they tend to be better at transferring their energy into whatever you're shooting with them. As far as...

Well, we know that the Enclave gave the Salvatores laser pistols in exchange for chemicals that were useful in developing the modified FEV. Unless you can definitively show that the only thing those chemicals could possibly have been used for was the genocidal plan they attempted in Fallout 2...

Bethesda likes doing a lot of fucky things with the lore. Trying to blame the war on aliens is one thing I hate. Another is a lot of the stuff they pulled with ghouls in 4. I still absolutely despise the refrigerator quest and that goddamn crime boss quest. Ghouls still need food and water to...

They only really seem as unaware as they do because they were put into a feedback loop to keep them ignorant. They can be broken out of it, and in the absence of a resurgent United States to reaffirm their loyalty to they do some pretty fucking nasty things to the wastelands.

The entire world was supposed to have gotten fucked by the nuclear exchange, though I think it's implied that the main reason for that was that the nukes involved were typically of a lower yield that kicked up much higher amounts of radioactive fallout. So even the nations that avoided getting...

It's more than likely a radioactive pit. The West Coast of Fallout America was supposed to have been the hardest hit region of the entire country for no other reason than because it was the easiest for the Chinese to strike with their nukes. (Most of their nukes were supposed to be submarine...

If I recall, they don't actually control all of Texas and New Mexico yet. With fighting in Texas still being fierce. It's just marked like that on the map because the Lone Star Republic voted to rejoin the Union.

Honestly, with the fact that their primary Pre-War enemy made heavy use of stealth submarines coupled with their own reverse-engineering and even improvements upon that stealth tech . . . I have to wonder if by this point the United States doesn't have a means of detecting the stealth field as a...

Well, in real life one of the big issues of using two cannons instead of just the one is that there's less room for the tank crew. Not just the space taken up by the cannons, but by their loading mechanisms and their ammo. You also have the issue that the cannons are going to be off center with...

Was feeling a bit bored and decided it might be fun to do this across multiple boards. I know each of them are . . . let's just say politically different. So I figured it would be interesting to see how differently each board handles Hidden Agenda. If you aren't familiar . . . Hidden Agenda is...

Politically, I'll freely admit I disagree with a lot of the people on this forum. Even then, as someone who considers themselves at the very least left-leaning, this is really the only reasonable outcome. I expected it back when it first happened because it was pretty blatantly self-defense...

Since the genocide stuff got buried and any actual evidence would have been vaporized by the nuking . . . That 70/30 thing for Richardson might have been something along the lines of him doing an okay job but not doing enough to get the reclamation effort going. Or maybe just that he is being...
