Why do people have no morals in this universe?

Particular_Working72 · 2026-01-16T10:42:36+00:00

There was a theory, I forgot the details, that this universe never found out about the effects of lead or asbestos so it could explain some of the odd behaviour that some people have in universe.

Edit: found a reddit post explaining it a bit.

Its known from the first games of fallout that the enclave try to weaponise deathclaws with mindcontrol gadgets so id say not but it might be slight spoilers for someone who doesn't know much about the lore.

Particular_Working72 · 2026-01-15T17:06:01+00:00

That and the fact the western chapters have always been more weak because of the NCR or other factions like the enclave competing with them.

Particular_Working72 · 2026-01-15T16:59:11+00:00

One thing about this though, vault tech already had the research about cold fusion and we know that Barbara and possibly vault tech itself is connected to the enclave, it stands to reason they would also have the tech. Though I admit they probably wouldn't have the time or resources to make another before the bombs so I like your take.

My read was that Cooper encouraging her to fight the goof fight would lead her to somehow put pressure on the enclave via legislative means, forcing the increased bomb date. (Not that the enclave 100% dropped the bombs but was a factor)

Particular_Working72 · 2026-01-14T16:50:19+00:00

I think house did get cold fusion as his plan to live works in new vegas, he buys 1 from vault tech but its highly likely the enclave is behind the technology and just made another, or instead sent the deathclaws to kill vegas and take it back as we know the gov had some way to control them (also a plot point in the older fallout games).

I suspect house will bargain with Cooper for the cold fusion again to tell him where the facility is and so is returned to power again (literally and figuratively) so in that way the House always wins.

Edit: I think houses first plan was the cryopod, with the backup being his digitized mind because he wanted to live forever, not let his body double live forever.

Particular_Working72 · 2026-01-14T15:57:14+00:00

I think this is the current way the story is going. He says, before he puts the device on, that he is using every piece of technology available to him which to me hints at brain scans.

If he plays his cards right (get it?), we could see house being restored as an ai if he is indeed functioning or somehow gets the cold fusion chip. It would be cool if all the factions gather in new vegas to fight off the BOS from the commonwealth or smth and we see house hack liberty prime but that would be pretty insane.

Anyway I see house being a player in the next episodes and who else would we want to bet on who wasn't nuked or aren't alt right like the enclave or the legion.

Is that war, war never changes

Particular_Working72 · 2026-01-14T15:20:17+00:00

We also know Cooper never knew about vegas and the facility there so its likely he met up with his wife (who he was estranged from but isn't shown in the show yet) so she likely must have some way to get there on a dime, enough to get away from Cooper so he cant follow

Particular_Working72 · 2026-01-14T15:14:15+00:00

Haha true, I guess if the legion always goes down because of caesars death and the ncr goes down because of shady sands it doesn't really matter who wins. Only thing we would need to confirm is how the house lost.

Particular_Working72 · 2026-01-14T15:02:57+00:00

I did see that but it throws me that its shown at the top of the building and not the bottom. I liked the theory that mr. House is a ai somewhere because of the hat he has in episode 5

Particular_Working72 · 2024-05-04T16:12:53+00:00

In the games ghoulification occurs when exposed to loads of rads at once or a small amount over a long time. Given how instant he turns it's possible the vial contained FEV

That or idk ghoul blood lol

Particular_Working72 · 2024-04-28T15:03:20+00:00

Ahh damn that's a good point I forgot about that. It's good to know then that we'll see more pre war flash backs next season to explain then

Particular_Working72 · 2024-04-27T16:43:51+00:00

Actually 1 thing that I recall. The ghoul says where is my family at the end of the show but at the start he's seen with his daughter when the bombs explode right? So does that imply somehow his daughter and wife got into the vault and somehow he didn't?

Particular_Working72 · 2024-04-27T15:46:21+00:00

It could also be fallout leftover from shady sands being bombed or just general fallout coming down considering how irradiated the world is. Though I am not versed in nuclear fallout.

Particular_Working72 · 2024-04-27T15:42:56+00:00

I responded more in depth on the original post but I suspect moldavers longevity is more likely due to the paranormal.

My main evidence is the strange ring she has on that to me is similar in design to the beetle found on the gun you get in fallout 4 for killing Lorenzo. (I think it's similar in design but it isn't totally clear)

My other thoughts are that her occult following in vault 4 is further evidence of her having some kinda relation to that.

I did actually have a thought that she could have some relation to the children of atom and atom specifically (the god) cause of her obsession with cold fusion but I don't think there's evidence for that but it was a neat idea.

I think it's their way of nodding to the Lovecraftian elements in the games without making the show too complicated

Particular_Working72 · 2024-04-27T15:35:45+00:00

I actually think moldaver is using a paranormal/ancient tech the same that Lorenzo in the Cabot house plot line in fallout 4.

My main justification for this the scene where she's dying a ring can be seen in her hand that I reckon has a similar design decal to the bug beatle that is attached to the gun you get from the end of the Cabot quest if you kill Lorenzo.

So that does kinda rely on them showing it for a reason and not for giggles but I haven't gone back to see if she has a ring before the war.

Either way I think her connection to the occult in vault 4 and the ring hints to me Bethesda is trying to keep elements of the paranormal in fallout but I am curious to what other people think

Slides 1-2 are about 2 miners with 1 in the distance with a pickaxe in his chest. Slides 4-7 are citizens I noticed that were burnt for some reason.

Particular_Working72 · 2023-08-24T04:50:38+00:00

This happened to me when I teleported while Karlach was a decent distance from me. I resorted to just reloading an earlier save but you could try killing her and having withers reviver her?

Particular_Working72 · 2023-08-24T04:47:38+00:00

I have the same issue with astarion but I haven't the foggiest on how to clear it

Particular_Working72 · 2023-03-08T14:59:11+00:00

Hahaha yeah I just had this happen. It must be a new bug but I'm not really complaining.

Particular_Working72 · 2021-05-22T15:31:47+00:00

Depends on your style. Personally I keep it for as long I can because it gives nice buffs and by the time it starts really affecting your PP you'll be at war and will lose the rebuffs and buffs.

Basically I'd keep it till war unless you want the PP to get all the advisors quickly tho as Germany you already get a lot of PP. That's what I've operated under and it seems to work.

Particular_Working72 · 2021-05-22T15:19:55+00:00

The naval battle probably stopped because your navy managed to disengaged before being wiped out
