Anonymous asked:
Ive been scrolling the fallout crit tag cause the show... is itself and ive got questions. any media you would consider groundbreaking? like people celebrate fnv for amazing world building but its still very ignorant. Anything youd recommended thats smarter? (in your opinion) the smartest even?
Depends on what you're looking for. The apocalypse genre is very flawed in and of itself, and I feel like a lot of what sucks in Fallout is kind of as a result of these genre staples (misanthropic gun-toting power fantasy, for example). If you aren't just interested in post-apoc, there are a couple sci-fi titles I might recommend which I do consider Groundbreaking.
As for post-apocalypse media only, here are 3 that I can recommend off the top of my head:
- Moon of the Crusted Snow by Waubgeshig Rice: This one is great if you want an apocalypse that's smartly written and are interested in real-world rather than an elaborately worldbuilt setting. The actual cause of the 'apocalypse' is never named, it's far removed from the remote community who the book focuses on. I recommend this one a lot.
- Caves of Qud: Roguelike RPG with cute pixel graphics. Takes the idea of a post-apocalypse and adds a few more 'posts' until the world before isn't even a memory and the ruins are themselves from earlier post-apocalyptic societies. It's very out there and wacky, bordering on fantasy, but plays with this type of setting in a way totally unlike anything else.
- Mad Max: Fury Road: On the off chance you haven't seen this. Fallout draws a Lot from Mad Max titles, though not very well. While extremely campy, I do think the wasteland worldbuilding of Mad Max holds together better largely because the genre-staple "raiders" are built up more to be recreations of old power systems, which helps explain why things are so rough out there. In Fury Road this sees Immortan Joe as a warlord sitting atop a total resource monopoly.
I also want to recommend Mad Max: Thunderdome but I kind of just want to make an entire post about it, because it has more genre staple flaws than Fury Road but is also probably the most emotionally resonant of any apocalypse fiction for me.
If any of my followers want to add more then please do! I know a lot of people recommend Wasteland, and I've seen good things from it, but I won't rec it without having played it myself.
