Fallout 1,2 and New Vegas definitely carry this theme.
I like Fallout 3 but writing wise it’s very different from those 3. You can blow up Megaton as part of gameplay with a nuke in fallout 3.
Maybe it’s needlessly pedantic, but honestly my biggest gripe with 3 is that everyone lives in trash. Why? It’s been 200 years, you don’t need to live in trash.
I would absolutely blow up Megaton to live in tenpenny tower so that I didn’t have to live in a goddamn landfill with a bunch of landfill people.
I only ever played a little bit of 1 (and haven’t yet played 2), but in the couple of settlements I saw in that game the people did not live in trash. They weren’t living super well, but they weren’t squatting in an open sewer either.
3Dog was offended that I let the ghoul underclass knock Tenpenny’s head off his shoulders. Well excuse me, guy from the radio, but I don’t think a strongly worded letter would do it. You don’t pitch a fit when I kill dozens of Talon PMCs, do you? Of course not, nobody counts PMCs.
“Oh God oh fuck I been shot. Let me pause. Let me just pause. Oh God. Hey, no, guys? I’m paused. Stawp!”
you know this is a joke right?
i cant wait to call people smooth skin in 200 years when they come to stay at my rickety inn
Guy in power armor shooting NUCLEAR WAR IS BAD over the head of a redditor going “whoa cool wasteland!”
