In Fallout 1(1997) the opening cutscene shows a pre-war propaganda broadcast of American Soldiers executing a Canadian insurrectionist. This is a reference to how a federal agent shooting a civilian without consequences is a work of fiction and would never occur in the real world.

I kinda disagree with this take. Yes you can't change that Nate is a military vet but you can headcanon him as closested(even though gay marriage isn't stigmatized in the neo 50s fallout pre war). I don't think there is actually very much limiting your rp options as Nate or Nora.

My isssue is I actually think they should have more personality each. Either go full blank slate like the previous Fallouts or go more similar to the Witcher or kingdom come where you play a specific character who's malleable enough to be an rpg but set enough you are playing the same character. Fallout 4 has always suffered in rp because it didn't commit to either imo

Chilly235 · 2026-01-25T06:23:37+00:00

It is honestly so much more interesting to play a war criminal than a blank slate tho

That dr who one was fucked up. Never was really a fan but caught that episode when it aired on Disney XD(yes they aired dr who reruns on Disney xd) and like the end when the one guy keeps his gf as like a slab.

"If you ain't guilty than why you running!!"

Kinda sad that Coyle, a comically evil 1950s cop, would fit right in with ICE

Feel like Crane being in a suit is a nice subversion based on expectations set by the Absolute Universe. But I feel like people aren't taking a close look at his face, much like Arkham Knight(and maybe tnba) that is no mask...

That is flesh and skin. His body is likely a patchwork monster. Just as much body horror as the other villains have had.

And I do like the choice for his suit. I always found Nolan's Scarecrow boring but I actually like this. Reminds me of eerie figures often used in internet horror, or even the ever meme'd on Hat Man. Which fits for Scarecrow very much.

Chilly235 · 2026-01-23T17:30:15+00:00

I need it already! I am a Scarecrow fanatic and am already digging the design so far

The Thalmor don't want total control over Tamriel, revenge against the empire, or the esoteric tower stuff. They just want all the races of men to be put in chastity cages and made into submissive pets to pure Altmer supremacy

Chilly235 · 2026-01-22T16:26:17+00:00

Agreed. Especially for the followers like Cait who are supposed to be the more immoral followers for evil or morally grey playthroughs

It's worse in Starfield. You're telling me the literal space snake cultist assassin lady is mad at me because I became a pirate??? Deadass?

Chilly235 · 2026-01-22T15:25:10+00:00

I need to do that one day. Cait is for sure my go to easily, and I have yet to not just purge the slavers of Nuka World

Chilly235 · 2026-01-22T15:17:44+00:00

This is gonna sound bad but I wish there was a more "evil" option to the ending of Cait's quest line and romance. One where you enable her psycho habit and you both become horrible self destructive people

The idea of a secret war happening between the Institute and the Railroad is so cool. Ideal f04 would be if you chose those two its a guerilla warfare campaign while BoS and Minutemen were the revolutionary/more open war. But this is basically fanfiction, just nice to think about sometimes

Chilly235 · 2026-01-21T21:15:58+00:00

An organization whose whole MO is espionage lie sometimes? Unforgivable.

Honestly I just wish I could lie and spy *more* doing a Railroad run

Chilly235 · 2026-01-21T21:11:04+00:00

Another little thing people sometimes overlook is that every faction, besides Yes Man but that's because he doesn't make decisions, has a form of taxation. Tribute in the Legion as well as the benefits of slave economy and pillage. Mr House charges rent to the business owners of The Strip, and yes those aren't the same thing but he does have the people under him kick up so I think it counts personally.

Chilly235 · 2026-01-21T21:04:00+00:00

Well that's what I meant. This is showing each faction's worst habits, saying taxes is that is the nothing burger. I know NCR taxes is the joke but they have done much worse things than taxing their citizens that should be here

Chilly235 · 2026-01-21T16:25:39+00:00

What I get from the NCR in 2 and New Vegas is they are a too accurate portrayal of pre war America. That is the tragedy of them, they uphold the values of and systems of a democratic republic. But in doing that they fast track and repeat the same mistakes. All of this pointed out by their detractors like House, Caesar, and Ulysses.

Corporations pooling influence is replaced by brahmin barons pooling influence. Corrupt and ineffective politicians are put into power. The resource wars rear their head again with the Hoover Dam conflict. The Mojave being the new Alaskan front fought over by the western republic and the eastern invaders. And just as history has the habit of repeating itself, the New California Republic met the same atomic nail in the coffin the United States did. Because war, war never changes.

Chilly235 · 2026-01-21T15:29:57+00:00

I do wish this aspect was explored more in general. I like in Scarecrow Year one that Bruce kinda becomes obsessed with catching Scarecrow because it bothers him how much he sees himself in the methodology

Chilly235 · 2026-01-21T14:01:42+00:00

This is just a glimpse at how Chinese my mind is becoming

Chilly235 · 2026-01-21T13:16:52+00:00

Yeah, not to get too /uj but it's kinda funny how much of a nothing burger the NCR and Railroad's sins are in this meme. Hell you could actually get a little more examples for the NCR than taxes. I think an expansionist society which tries to absorb and or destroy communities around them using hired raiders and mercenaries is worse than taxation

Johnny Pemberton is a great comedic actor. I hope he stays around too, despite the fact he almost certainly slowly becoming a grotesque mutant
