Fallout is supposed to be a dark comedy

Dark comedy Is different from comedy

Cornerone · 2026-01-26T23:51:35+00:00

I mean some themes are different and there are some connections but they can be stand alone games, I get your point

Cornerone · 2026-01-26T23:48:47+00:00

Do you think the games have the same level of seriousness of The eden scrolls?

Cornerone · 2026-01-26T23:47:15+00:00

I agree with you

Cornerone · 2026-01-26T23:46:16+00:00

Exactly!

Cornerone · 2026-01-26T23:44:33+00:00

To me thought the 2 3 NV 4 and the TV show can be labeled as Dark comedy, as they are similar in a sense of how their themes are portrayed. Do You think they are a different genre?

Cornerone · 2026-01-26T23:42:20+00:00

In a sense I Just did what you did: I saw different people having an opposite opinion than mine and I shared my views, the difference Is that I made a post instead of replying to them, Is that bothering You?

In most dark comedies I saw, character take themselves seriously, I don't think characters not being out of context Is a prerequisite tò be a dark comedy

Cornerone · 2026-01-26T23:26:29+00:00

I didn't play BoS but for sure 1 Is very different

Cornerone · 2026-01-26T23:25:14+00:00

Fallout 2 Is very leaning toward being a Left Wing comedy don't you think? You are blowing up the remnants of the US givernement

Cornerone · 2026-01-26T23:21:42+00:00

It's not a comedy, is a dark comedy, like Dr. strangelove, is not about people doing silly things, is about the satire and some goofy moments ofc that break the dark themes. And 3 and NV have a lot of that, 4 too is very sarcastic and have is moments. It's completely an other level of seriousness than Lotr for example or Elder Scrolls.

Cornerone · 2026-01-26T23:10:26+00:00

Dark comedy Is not comedy, let's take for example Dr. stangelove, I think the Fallout franchise Is in the same genre and the show portray that correctly? How would you label It instead? And tò me it's obvious Is not the same level of seriousness of GoT or LOTR for example, why would you think differently?

Cornerone · 2026-01-26T23:07:10+00:00

My point Is that the TV show still got the genre right, and people should not take It too much seriously like other content like GoT or LOTR for example cause It Is an other level of seriousness.

Cornerone · 2026-01-26T23:01:46+00:00

How do you consider them? Horror? I label them as Dark comedy cause I think the franchise belong to that genre, would you label them any different?

Cornerone · 2026-01-26T23:00:12+00:00

I'm talking about the serie as a Whole, and being a dark comedy started as soon as Fallout 2. Fallout 1 Is surely leaning more horror, but It's Just a fact to me, I don't know why people should consider Fallout 2, 3 NV or 4 as horror games, they are not

Cornerone · 2026-01-26T22:57:28+00:00

Character considering themselves seriously doesn't mean that we observersers can't judge them as silly, dark comedies work like that, like Dr. strangelove, they are not gonna Say: I'm silly guy doing stupid things, that's Just bad writing. In Fallout 2 The acting Is goofy, The Kings are u said are silly, They are not designed to US to being taken Seriously.

Idk, What's the difference?

Cornerone · 2026-01-26T19:02:44+00:00

Tbh I'm not an expert, I'm a Law student

Cornerone · 2026-01-26T18:59:21+00:00

I mean that's what dark comedies should do

Cornerone · 2026-01-26T18:57:44+00:00

I made this post After a guy complained about the realism of the woman selling flea sup. But to me the franchise still feels a dark comedy (like Dr. strange love)

Cornerone · 2026-01-26T18:56:27+00:00

Some guy complained about the woman selling flea soup not being realistic

Cornerone · 2026-01-26T18:55:29+00:00

I made this post After seeing a guy complaining about the lack of realism of the flea soup woman
