I *MIGHT* possibly drop back into 76 to try out the Atlantic City thing. 76 is garbage, but i'm from NJ and I always had ideas for a story set in Atlantic City. I had a half-cocked fanfic about Fallout AC that was alittle bit "Boardwalk Empire" and focused heavily on mob-type stuff, although...

I think it was totally acceptable for its time. It's clunky NOW, but back when it released it was great.

What is your definition of an RPG? The fact is there IS a loose definition. Two seconds on google can confirm that.

Not every genre has a loose definition. RPG's have a loose definition. Fallout 4 IS an RPG. It's ok you if you think it isn't a good one. But something not being a good representation of a thing doesn't make it not that thing. I think the Dallas Cowboys are a shitty football team, but...

"RPG" is a vaguely defined genre at this point, kind of always has been. A role playing game is a game, where you, play a role. It fits most games... Fallout 4 fits the generally accepted genre. It's not a particularly deep RPG, but it's an RPG. There's adventuring/exploring, dialogue options...

Yeah. This. I can safely say the water table under Megaton had never even remotely entered my mind until now.

I respect your viewpoint. I have a quibble about Fallout which isn't like, a dealbreaker or anything but it does mildly break my SoD... the fact that it's been like, 200 years and even in settlements were people have been living for some time, the don't bother to like... clean up or remove...

I suppose sure. I would have thought it would be the giant ants, zombie-people, deathclaws, or other much more obvious piece of ridiculousness. But hey, if that's what the dealbreaker is for you, then that's what it is.

A settlement probably not having an adequate water table is the thing that breaks your suspension of disbelief in Fallout? THAT'S what does it?

I mean. Yes. But Fallout also has radiation create giant Ants and zombies. Realism was never the intention in Fallout.

There's an NCR flag clearly in the background of one of the shots. The East Coast BoS may have just straight up have headed back to the West Coast. We're making ALOT of assumptions from a few pictures... pictures that by and large show an absolutely incredible level of attention to detail to...

That certainly does help. It's kind of a lost art today. Even 20 years ago, we had some absolute magicians when it came to practical effects. I was actually just watching a documentary about the making of Elf... random I know... but they were talking about how they used alot of forced...

That's where I can excuse some concessions for a live action product. The overall look of everything is incredibly faithful. More accurate Ghouls would be a bit more expensive to do properly. The Ghoul shown looks... fine, and realistically not every ghoul will have the same level of decay.

I gotta say, the show looks surprisingly faithful to the source material. Maybe, just maybe, some companies are realizing that when they have a successful thing... just make the successful thing.

I like to think that energy weapons were the shit, but most of them have degraded so much over two centuries that they're not nearly as effective as they once were.
