This one tweet explains a lot about the general direction of the series.

My take is that the ncr making actual power armor with all the gizmos working was a pet project by a few engineers who realized the ncr had more to gain with proper PA but the fall of shady shands shelved the whole thing after a single suit. The way people in freeside reacted to the suit implies the ncr had more and wore them pretty often tho.

Honestly, for all the show's flaws, the NCR power armor isn't really one of them. If raiders can cobble together makeshift power armor while high out of their minds on chems, I don't see why the NCR's engineers wouldn't be able to make their own power armor.

Also I suspect that the helmet being based on the Ranger helmet combined with the NCR logo is why everyone reacted that way. Coop even mentioned the power of brand recognition. So I don't think NCR PA was a common sight in the Mojave or anything.
 
Anyone noticed how since Fallout 4 it seems everyone and their dog has somehow lived for 200 years?
In Fallout 1 the Master is special because of his age, he saw the world before the bombs dropped, and that perspective shapes the way he sees the world.
Harold was the other pre war character in Fallout 1, but he was only as child when the bombs dropped. This seems to be carried over into Fallout 3 where all pre war ghouls were children when the war began, the exception being Desmond Lockheart in Point Lookout, who was a secret agent and part of the elite pre war. In New Vegas, Mr House was THE survivor of the Great war.

Some, but very few pre war characters.
But ever since Fallout 4 they're everywhere. Cryo chambers everywhere. Pre war ghouls everywhere. And with the tv show it has gotten absolutely bananas.
How did Moldaver live to be 200? Who knows! Probably a cryo chamber stuffed near somewhere.
You've got a canadian pre war fugitive somehow living in a vault.
The Ghoul having met and seen everything both pre and post nukes.
You like pre war characters so much so here's an entire vault that's just dozens upon dozens of silly bureaucrats having survived the nukes.

Accessibility is a meme and just an excuse to dumb shit down. Emil calling gamers retarded is less insulting than trying to hide behind virtue as a reason for making your game gay and retarded.

Final tv show bit of lore on Mr House from a preview from IGN:
Mr House had long since uploaded his brain into a digital state because his physical body was a target, which is implying the show exists in one of Fallout New Vegas' "kill House" endings. Except sike, House is still alive.

Housebros say winning!

Reminds me of Arnold Schoenberg’s quote "If it is art, it is not for all, and if it is for all, it is not art." And Kurt Vonnegut's quote "Write to please just one person. If you open a window and make love to the world, so to speak, your story will get pneumonia."
But his tweet basically translates to "we have the full backing of our pet retards that will lap up anything and Microsoft's blessing. Otherwise our "talent" would bankrupt us."

You're missing a few but you're very correct. Bethesda's Fallout has way too many pre-war people and it sort of ruins how interesting the past was, especially since many of the pre-war characters were somewhat unreliable narrators.
Bethesda would have benefited from making their games take place about fifty to one hundred years after the bombs fell so that they wouldn't have to have an unrealistic number of characters somehow surviving for 200+ years in the wasteland.
Also, it's a symptom of bad writers + unsupervised/thoughtless use of the rule of cool. A lot of ideas in Bethesda games are genuinely cool in a vacuum, but fall flat when they are held up against the lore and common sense

I think what makes Raul good is that he was just some guy of no particular significance or skill who managed to survive the hellscape of the early days after the Great War and his insight and long memory adds to the world, in particular the perspected regarding how bad things can get, given most of your companions have lived (comparatively) soft lives under the NCR.
 
Is there a Fallout TV show thread, I didn't see it.
> Hype up the NCR/Legion fight all season
> Doesn't even fucking happen
> Probably S3 opening before Enclave rolls up, rocks their shit and begins the next Enclave v BoS war ala Broken Steel.

> Dad is shown as Vault-Tec through and through in the flashbacks.
> Oh wait he's actually Enclave but we're not going to explain how or who he was talking to on the radio.
> Working all season on miniaturizing the control tech
> Captures Lucy, everyone in the vault has visible tech on their necks, the chips are still quite large.
> Lucy reverse-captures him, he magically has even smaller versions and had already magically placed it in many unknown people outside the vault, this is not explained.
> Decides to an-hero his brain after being cryptic about it, "dies" as a character despite never seeing his work complete.

> Norm (best character) sends out a different radio broadcast bitching to Lucy
> This is never expanded upon, gets QT asian gf tho

> Post credit scene
> Quintus retardedly plotting Liberty Prime build despite his base is actively under siege

NCR showing up was hype though, Caesar clearly had intentions of a lasting empire in FNV, kinda dumb he refused succession. Its clearly a Yes Man ending, but its never explained how House regained control. Is he an AI now?
7/10, Ghoul continues to carry the entire show.
 
Okay I just finished the finale and I think it perfectly encapsulates everything that both works and doesn't work about the show. It's too busy and ends up feeling rushed and muddled as we bounce between the eight million storylines and there's still a good deal of everyone who isn't The Ghoul, Mr House, or Norm is a bumbling retard (although I feel like Maximus and to a certain degree Lucy are locking in and becoming wiser which is neat). But it also nails the things that really work. The emotional beats were all really good, I like how it uses circular storytelling with the death to management scene and Maximus' stand, and I think the reveals, hype moments, and payoffs mostly work well (I hate to admit it because it makes me sound like a consoomer, but the NCR Ranger moment was beyond badass and I'm glad to see that they've survived). I also think that for the most part, the preexisting characters are written well (I genuinely don't understand what was going on with House in the first episode because he's been spot on ever since). And of course the show looks great, but that's to be expected at this point.

Now it's nerdy fanboy nitpick time because these things bother me. I hate that every Pip-Boy we see is the same model in different colors. I could maybe understand it within the three main vaults (although Fallout 3 established that there were other models we don't see in Vault 101 since we get the shitty one), but unless the 3000 Mk V is confirmed to be the final model produced before the bombs dropped, I don't get why it's the one in the Penthouse. Also if House could just blip himself onto your Pip-Boy to speak to you, why wouldn't he have done that to bitch at The Courier for taking too long? Ik Elijah can hyjak your Pip-Boy remotely, but he's a crazy genius obsessed with modifying old world technology. Also HAM radio broadcasts from Norm, Hank, and Steph all the way out in California can reach the Enclave in presumably either Canada or Alaska? And why would Cooper feel glad about his family going to Colorado? That's Legion territory. That should make him shit his pants with fear.

All that being said, I'm excited to get a proper look at Colorado and I'm glad we aren't just going from game setting to game setting. The post credits scene was also pretty hype inducing, I hope that this reborn BoS is a lot less goofy and stupid than they've been before. Also as a big Kaiju guy, I'm pretty excited for the inevitable Liberty Prime vs Liberty Prime fight. Fallout 3 was my introduction to the series, so I've always had a soft spot for that guy (although I feel that taking Liberty Prime's jingoistic slogans out of the context of him destroying the remnants of the US government ruins the bit).

So all in all, it's a mixed bag. Like I keep saying, this show has a problem where it keeps taking one step forward and two steps back. I like a lot of what it's doing, but I also think it's weighed down by a lot of problems (although this season was significantly better than the first, so maybe that trend will continue and season 3 will solve these problems).

There's one in multimedia that never updated its title beyond the initial announcement, but frankly I think the two threads should be merged because it's not like there's a separate Star Wars games thread or anything.
 
So absolutely nothing of interest really happened in the entire season. Great.

I’ve been a lurker but never commented in this thread before but I just have to say HOLY SHIT WHAT A FUCKING FAGGOT! The fucking mustache is killing me, it looks like a bowl cut on a kid. I cannot believe this man exists and thought the bounty hunter larp was a badass idea. The fucking redacted dox. The fact he was so angry about a “homophobic” comment that he googled then paid some shit website for surface level info knowing he can’t actually release it without killing his “career” is so funny to me. Not to mention the comment itself wasn’t even homophobic. He’s homophobic for getting so worked up about a gay comment. What is he even implying? That he’s gonna “hunt” and rape, I mean kill this person over a comment? What a pussy. He thinks this shit is so tough. It’s so perfect, it’s some of the best cringe I’ve seen in a while 10/10 thanks for posting.

UPDATE: I had to find this guy ASAP and the first thing I see is a crying apology vid. He did some gay shit (I didn’t watch long enough to find out what) and lost a sponsor. LOL

Also the doxx was real and he posted it to TikTok, this was just a redacted version. Even better. Faggot.

I'm not too bothered, they're a major faction in Fallout 2, 3 and 76.
The way they are introduced in the Vault / FEV experiment storyline works well, having Norm and his band of deluded Vault-Tec interns discover all of it feels organic.
I can't stand the Agent Hank McCooper storyline, "I'm having trouble miniaturizing this technology" all season to "Actually Lucy, despite destroying the control mainframe, I've already won, I've microchipped the Wastelanders, your too late!" is dumb as fuck.
