I love how retards these days assume Fallout's message is "CAPITALISM EVIL" for some reason, ignoring the fact that the commies were equally, if not more, fucked up.

The theme of the series is (was?) humanity's perseverance. Not some dime-a-dozen "Drumpf bad, America bad" shit.
 
New California is so much better than the frontier, it doesn't mess with cannon as much as the frontier. like the tanks in the frontier fuck up cannon so much, why is there enough m4 Shermans for the NCR to seemingly use them as their mbt? The m4 Sherman is 134 years old by 2077 , its over 330 years old by the start of new vegas! How do the legion have a soviet t-62 , a tank made after our timelines spilt meaning its possible it was never made!

I always felt weird about the twist at the end of New California that not only are you a Vault Dweller clone, but you're also the Courier. It felt "off" to me a bit.

won't lie i never finished it , but its weirdly large amount of modern pop culture references didn't annoy me as much as frontiers outright stupid plot holes
 
There certainly is satire of corporations; the Pulowski Preservation Pods, the uncaring attitude of Nuka Cola towards the environment and people.

I don't see anywhere in the games where the idea of capitalism is criticized, but these people only view large corporations and their ability to get away with criminal acts and unethical practices as the end result of capitalism. Not something innate to humanity like greed or a lust for power.
 
Super minor gripe about New California's ending too, the ending narration acts as if Hopeville was the Divide prior to it's destruction by the Courier.

In reality, Hopeville was the pre-war city that, along with Ashton military base, was the foundation that the Divide as a settlement was built upon. The Divide had the same name even before the Courier destroyed it because it was where the East and West met. So Hopeville was simply part of the Divide, not the Divide itself like the narration says.
 
The biggest thing about Fallout is not of its criticism of capitalism, nor of it's numerous preambles about how pre-war, America wasn't that good even, and it wasn't because of "muh capitalism".

If anyone took 5 minutes to watch the intro to Fallout 1, it outright shows you the end result of what rampant greed for lust and power does to a nation. We get a soldier in power armor executing a civilian and then waving at the tv while a flag flows in the background. That wasn't corporate, that was the government annexing canada for their resources, because as Ron Perlman literally states; "too many humans, not enough resources to go around." And as bad as 76 at launch was, it did go to some lengths to fill in the gaps on some things, such as the standing president at the time, who, as it turns out, was a paranoiac, delusional schizophrenic obsessed with hunting down and killing communists at the expense of literally everything else.

The general consensus is that america in the fallout universe is better off after the bombs fell because of how totalitarian and dystopian things were getting. Either America rules the world, or China does. It was all coming to an end sooner or later... it just came quicker that way.

The fact that there are scores of people that don't get this still astounds me, but I suppose I shouldn't be surprised at this point.

Isn't this literally stated at like two separate terminals in Lonesome Road? The Divide was named that because it was the only ceasefire region where both sides could be without trouble.
Ulysses beats you over the head with it too and gets buttmad if you side with anyone but yourself. He's obsessed with the Divide... but wants to nuke the NCR anyway since he's Legion affiliated despite practically dropping that flag to instead wear the old world flag on his ba-- aaggghh my head!

They tend to argue that America became totalitarian because of capitalism. That only a late-stage capitalist society could allow corporation like Vault-Tec to exist or its hunger for growth causing the conflict that would end the world. Funny thing is that these people don't engage in this analysis with the post apocalyptic setting. Though I probably could find a piece about how the Master's super mutant army only existed because of unregulated capitalism or how the Institute's Snyths are a way to create an obedient proletariat.

I believe Ulysses thought that the Legion will die once Caesar is dead. No need to burn a bull that is already sick. But the NCR will kill itself through expansion. By nuking the Long 15, Ulysses cuts off the NCR's ability to expand.
 
I shouldn't be surprised that a high profile mod that looked like it was made with lots of love and care was actually helmed by scalies with basic SJW beliefs. But for whatever reason I am.

Maybe it's because they're scalies.

Use of chud has really become a retard alert.
Jokes on them, I still support the Enclave.

...To be clear, I support the Enclave in 76, and what Colonel Autumn had planned in 3. He was right under a few things, in that the wasteland does need protection. At least he didn't plan on global genocide like Richardson and Eden. Now if only the writers for 3 weren't adamant about railroading your choices near the end... heaven's forbid the Enclave actually be the sensible choice, because it sure as fuck isn't the NCR, Legion or Brotherhood.

the biggest, most egregious portion of their criticism of the Enclave being a direct continuation of pre-war america is that they're all to eager to forget how authoritarian the NCR was in 2. Did they just collectively forget that you will get shot on site if you so much as accidentally whip out your pistol longer than 5 seconds? Or does it not matter because it's old and therefore irrelevant? And don't even get me started on those electric gates; oh yeah! and their attempted annexation of the Mojave, just like another government we all know and love!

Fascist is just "anyone I dont like thats in a position of power" now.
 
Why are furfags of all stripes absolutely incapable of NOT injecting their fetishes into literally everything?
What absolute dumbfuck said "Yeah, lizard people is a great idea for Fallout!" and wasn't promptly called a faggot?
Why the fuck are people praising this when it makes Bethesda's writing look fucking brilliant?
Why does all the voice acting for this mod make me miss Peter Gil's performance as Augustus Autumn?
 
I love all the comments on the trailer along the lines of "THiS Is HoW a FaLlOuT gAmE sHoUlD bE mAdE!"

So buggy, uninspired, with awful writing and dialogue, rehashing old ideas from better games than yours, then implementing your own shitty ideas that border on cringe?

So you like Bethesda?
