new pfp! 2020 vs 2023!
God I wish I was that Nukacola
Storyboard project i did for school! please dont mind how inaccurate my power armor stuff is and how dumb nick is in this i wanted to do fallout oc stuff n i had to make it work
My biggest plothole hangup with fallout 4 is kellog and how shitty he was done so the theory i propose: they should have just made kellog a synth lol? Like think about it:
1.) Eliminates the factor of "how the fuck did kellog live so long and not age?". Ingame shaun basically goes "institute technology we retired cuz (bullshit reason)" which is so dumb cuz its technology THAT STOPS YOU FROM AGING. But if it wasnt a real kellog but a synth recreation it would be like a cool "ooooh shit" twist moment as soon as you pick up the synth piece. Like thats not the real kellog they just made him again. Cloned him if you will.
2.) Good way to introduce the synths into the story. Theres so many places you'll see them beforehand but having kellog be the big "oh shit" moment for those who just speed through the plot would have rocked.
3.) The inherent tragedy of it. Idk i cant relate to kellog ingame cuz the memories quest utterly fails for me. Oh wow he lost his wife and child hes just like me fr- like fuck OFFFFF that happened to me too and i didnt go around killing innocent people. BOZO. But if he was a synth its a realization of like. This guy didnt do that. This is someone who fully believed he did and shared those memories but its like he didnt do it. Hes a victim of the institute just as much as you are. He legit doesnt know better. The implication of "if he found out he was a synth of a person long dead and his memories weren't real could he have gotten better" will always hang over your head.
4.) Paints institute in a more evil fucked up light . Asking shaun "what do you MEAN you recreated the guy that kidnapped you and brutally killed your other parent." And shaun just goes "well he was a good agent idk i admire the usefulness." Its like that collateral damage line but goes hard. Even better if he truly doesnt get why you're mad about it and at some point you see kellog again im the institute and are like WTF and shauns like oh we just made him again. If it makes you feel better you could kill him again too. We can make as many as you want. Like would that not be metal but also kinda horrifying
I've started Fallout 4again.
I'll be honest, the fallout show is not as bad as I thought it was going to be, but the implications that it's 100% canonical is bothering me. The concept of ghouls having to take a drug constantly to resist turning feral is ridiculous.
The prejudice against ghouls is based on the mystery of why they turn, when they'll turn, and if they're even in danger of turning in the first place. But as far as I can tell the show is saying yes they're all in danger of going feral and they're a danger to be around.
The point of society's treatment of ghouls is that it's unfair and based on the fear of the unknown, even more so than the obvious bias against their looks. Ghouls are not unlike anyone else in the wasteland, and they're unjustly persecuted on misguided beliefs.
But I guess now, they're all just one step away from being mindless zombies, fuck it.

i’ve seen a few people on here mad at the show for going with “Vault-Tec dropped the bombs themselves” but i thought that was implied?
at least in fallout 4 if you read some of the vault-tec logs, you see that some people in the company knew when the bombs were gonna drop, even at a time when it was still hypothetical
I didn’t even let him speak before I shot that fatbot at his head, it was on sight
Fallout theories ranking. If you're wondering about the placement of these feel free to ask but you will not change my mind
Emil Pagliacci confirming that Nate Falloutfour was in the murdering civilians unit of the army is possibly the funniest thing he could have done. I don't even think he fully grasps it
Huh that’s stupid and misses the point of that scene where a literal war crime takes place executing a protestor (in the middle of an in universe propaganda film satirizing American nationalism!) and is a shockingly callous idea that makes the male lead of fallout 4 an in universe monster what kind of fan account-
oh
So I got to thinking…yall know how there’s some cars that have those really flashy LED lighting things? Well, picture that but on power armour! Now, picture said rave power armour on a very disgruntled Danse that had no idea Sole would have the time nor skill to modify his armour in such a horrendous way.
Ok so here's the thing: I totally get where the Fallout New Vegas crowd are coming from
(Note: I haven't watched the show yet I'm only going off what's come across my dash so keep that in mind)
Fallout New Vegas is and always will be my favorite fallout game. But I also love Fallout 4. I'm a member of both camps.
I'm also weird in that I love Fallout but absolutely will not touch anything else in the post-apocalyptic genre because...I kinda hate it.
Fallout is Post apocalyptic, but not in the same way something like "The Last of Us" is. It's not grounded in reality for one, and whilst society isn't necessarily moving "forward"...it does exist in one form or another...and it is moving.
And then you have Fallout New Vegas which is very much post-post apocalyptic. It's not just about the wasteland and survival and fighting: Society is moving forward What direction do we want it to go? (oh that and Casinos! you have to admin the casinos were fun)
People are absolutely correct in that the games still exist. Nothing is stopping you from playing them It's not erasing the whole game from canon (I think?) and in a game series like Fallout canon isn't the most important thing anyway.
But here's the thing: By wiping out all that stuff on the west coast, the NCR etc. It shows us how Bethesda see's the series. You know that thing you don't see as much nowadays: when a movie had a sequel they would just undo everything that happens in the first one off screen?
It's like that: We have to maintain the status quo: . Because it seems to Bethesda, fallout is about pew pew chaos in the wasteland! it's why it still looks like the bombs dropped last week even though it's been like (200 years?). It's all wasteland rubble and shanty towns! Because it's fallout, that's the brand. Thats what people expect. The FNV fans are frustrated because it's Bethesda sending a clear message that their vision for the series is very much "stuck in one place perpetually" as is often the case with the genre. forever looking back, never looking forward.
But it doesn't have to be like that! the series can move forward whilst still being Fallout. In fact it would be super cool to see a setting where society has started to built more. Like we saw in F:NV . It opens up new story opportunities. New factions, all kind of cool new shit.
This isn't about who likes what games or why or even about the show (I've heard good things, so honestly I hope I like it) . I don't care. I just think I can see the argument that Bethesds wouldn't really want to take the series in any particular new direction because they've settled into "the brand"
honestly the things i find in my drafts…
