What kind of retard question is this? It's a AAA Western RPG, not fucking Dwarf Fortress or whatever.

My ranking
Fallout
....
...
...
Fallout NV
slightly lower if not equal Fallout 2
Fallout 3
Fallout 4
Fallout 1 is still the only one in the series that gives me real dark post apocalytic vibes. I remember one random encounter staring at the pixelated sea and wondering what was out there. Nothing since in the series has given me that.
I don't worship NV like everyone else seems to. Its competent enough. I generally think Western settings are boring compared to more conventional scifi, with notable exceptions like RDR. Most of the characters and companions are boring with a few exceptions like House and Yesman. Parts of the story don't make any sense. You see some half assed attempts to set up a morally grey political situation but they turn CL into cartoon villains. You start to see glimpses of the trademark sjw tendencies of Obsidian.
I find the the gender balanced DEI militaries in the post apocalypse to be silly. Yes I'm aware this goes all the way back to the first game and becomes worse in future titles but this is where it starts to become noticeable. I guess everyone else's suspension of disbelief must be legendary but once I see a game or movie trot out the genderwoke rape gangs I can't take them seriously anymore.
Everything else is self explanatory. Its funny how Fallout is such a legendary series but it has arguably more bad games than good.

Lots of the rape stuff in Fallout comes from A Boy and His Dog. A comedy film by LQ Jones that was a massive inspiration for stuff like Mad Max, Wasteland, and almost a blueprint for Fallout's world. The ridiculous dark comedy aspects of Fallout are often direct references to some of the scenarios in that film.
People still like Alien and Predator or Star Wars despite those franchises being mostly junk. It's common now for anything successful to be franchised and run into the ground. To the point where the majority of any franchise's content is mediocre at best. Fallout is no different. We are about to get a dogshit series from Amazon lead by Todd Howard for Bethestards to fawn over.
It's like every other modern day franchise that died long ago, including video game series such as Pokemon, Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, Silent Hill, Halo, Call of Duty, Warcraft, etc.
Each of them ran to the ground by corporate greed and have been milked for the worst. And each individual fan who still support each respective franchise are afraid of criticism or even admitting that these franchises are flawed and have been milked for the worst.

Finished a almost entirely shotgun-based build, FNV duh. Highly recommend. I forgot just how versatile a riot shotgun can be.
By the way, I feel like a dumbass, but I finally realized why so many troons identify with Courier 6. He did lose his package, after all.

But they've already been raped for a very long time, so can't get revenge

thank you for coming to my fallout ranking ted talk
Fallout 2 is what happens when a game like Fallout 1 starts getting more attention from the "normal" team and some higher up goes "lol it would be so funny if we put something from Doctor Who into the game, i love watching that show"

the rough edges that Fallout 1 has is why it's so high on my list. it's a product of a small group of nerds sitting around and binging Mad Max and putting whatever they think is cool into a game. it was a passion project from the very beginning and because they had to fight to even release the game it doesn't have too much extra nonsense weighing it down. part of the reason Fallout 1 works so well is that there weren't the resources or the drive to monkey with it from people who weren't involved. it's quiet, empty, and somber in a way you can only get from a small team of misfits (similar to Silent Hill)

It's worse than that, apparently Interplay not only encouraged putting pop culture references but more or less enforced it. All this to make the game more "accessible to the modern audience" at the time(despite how dated some of these references were even at the time)
It goes to show that Fallout was being screwed over way before Todd gotten his chess playing mitts on the franchise. Biggest loss to this day is Van Buren, if the studio quite literally just let the devs finish the game instead of canning it(which they easily could have, as it was supposedly 95% done) we would have a proper Fallout 3 on our hands and Bethesda's game(as the selling of the IP was inevitable) might have taken a completely different turn

Fallout London is interesting, but I don't know if I can trust current-day fan groups because of the Frontier shenanigans. Still, I have thought of an idea of a Fallout 2-style game set in the South. Well, particularly Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, and parts of Western Tennessee. I've heard everyone talking about a "Fallout New Orleans," but I feel like New Orleans and most of South Louisiana would be in the water after the nukes. There is a reason why the Boneyard is farther inland than actual Los Angeles. Maybe this can be turned into islands, particularly "Îles d'Orléans". Most of the inhabitants of the islands are inbred normals and ghouls being treated like leprosy patients. The irradiated waters have caused half of the natural ecosystem to die. The other half, however, have mutated into horrors beyond our comprehension. I haven't really thought further than this, but remember, a retro-futurism antebellum South wouldn't have a "Master" or BOS. There need to be new groups that satirize the Southern states' past, present, and future.

I really like the idea, but you would really need a talented writer to pull something like this off, preferably someone very familiar with the South. Otherwise you'd just get "Guys, what about Fallout, but you fight the KKK?"

Well, yes, the second and modern phase of the Ku Klux Klan could be represented by random hostile encounters with the Enclave as they travel base to base (Fallout 2 implied an international communication occurring on the rig). But that's boring, and the Enclave shouldn't have much involvement in the story—background hostile creatures like beast fishing encounters.
How about post-war Christianity in the South? It would be interesting if you have fire and brimstone preachers saying the good people who died after the bombs dropped left them behind. Extreme sects of Baptists rising from the ashes and all that. Maybe a Vault is experimenting on its citizens by having a random baby born to be the new Jesus? This then would simulate the events of the new gospel but more twisted by the Vault announcing they've been lied to their whole time in there.

Wouldn't the South have vegetation levels viable for farming? This would lead to the apparent formation of multiple farming communities. Also, sports and hunting are a popular pastime for country folk. The remnant of the militaries that weren't part of the Enclave would more than likely form totalitarian regimes that would make Vault City seem like sunshine and lollipops. Southern cities, of course, would have gangs like those within the Boneyard. The conflict between each environment would lead to the "River Wars" for control of the Mississippi River. Imagine the Redding story of Fallout 2, but it's more complicated.

Riot shotgun + And Stay Back is one hell of a good time. I remember when I first played NV and getting to Cottonwood Cove for the first time I got curious about what was on the other side of the river. Swam around for a bit until I found a path leading up, but inadvertently stumbled on the deathclaw promontory. Since I was not even level 10 I think, I got wrecked. Came back 20 levels later with a riot shotgun + And Stay Back and got my revenge, not even getting hit because the deathclaws would immediately get knocked down.
Fallout but featuring niggers as the heroes. Oh wait, that's just the upcoming bullshit Amazon series

Of course the south wouldn't have a Master.....it would have a Massa who'd be running all kinds of cotton plantations with black ghoul slaves
The left would lose its shit if someone released a mod or a game like that
Funny thing is theres a precedent for that as it was kind of going in that direction in fallout 76 with the notes the preacher left behind in flatwoodsAgent of Misinformation said:

There’s been a Large purge of bethesda and activision blizzard. Fallout 76’s community manager was sacked as well. Unfortunately Tod and Emil are staying
