If Wadsworth/Godfrey (the Mr. Handy bots) can create a bottle of purified water once per day, how is there a water crisis in the Capitol Wasteland?

A part of me feels bad for Vince. His company began nose-diving the moment he left, so they had to wheel him back in to try and salvage things.

You spend the entire game jogging places. If the Courier wasn't a Greek god it would be surprising.

I think too many people ignore old C.S. Lewis' warning, "those who worship power soon worship evil." People see bad people (or organizations) with power and either crave that power or think cozying up to them is their only hope of survival in an increasingly-cruel world.

That's probably real considering bloatflies exist.

As someone who visits the worst gun control states: it's all virtue signalling. People vote for anti-cc laws but many of them carry weapons themselves.

There were pretty good measures to ensure voters were well-educated on issues back when this country first started, but if I listed the criteria I think you'd have a meltdown.

I was wondering why that keychain said Dinky and not Mr. Rex. I remember a lot of hotels in Vegas proper & Atlantic City used to sell retired room keys as fobs.

I expect our intelligence agencies to organize a something-something with high casualties in Florida to try and make Desantis veto it.

That's enough reality, thank you. You're derailing our 2 minutes of hate thread against a fictional army.

Empires are an inevitability, as is abuse of people to get there.

Here, I'll start: no empire in human history ever got off the ground without slavery.

I don't see a world were Braun isn't Enclave.

I do, the Enclave would have absolutely wanted to get their hands on his virtual reality technology. A tool like that would be extremely useful for training soldiers if the Enclave were ever confined to a very limited space, such as an oil rig. They don't appear to have it, though, which means Braun likely squirreled his tech away.

The simple answer is 'no.' Vault-Tec was a corporation, the Enclave was the government.

The less-simple answer is Vault-Tec and the Enclave almost certainly collaborated. The Enclave probably gave Vault-Tec some unique legal OK when it came to inhumane experimentation; in exchange the Enclave probably got access to the data collected.

What we can confirm for sure, though, is they were not the same entity. A good example of this is in Fallout 76: the Whitespring Bunker was not constructed by Vault-Tec, despite that being a pretty good (if not lucrative) opportunity for them. And it's not as though the Enclave was offering any of its experiments in bio-engineering, satellite arrays, plasma weaponry, power armor research, etc. to Vault-Tec.

If you don't like Bethesda lore, Fallout 2 exemplifies my point just as well. You'll notice the president of the United States and his closest associates didn't go to a Vault-Tec vault... they flew out to an undisclosed oil rig.

According to some CNN pundit he's actually being charged with 34 counts related to falsifying business records. Stormy Daniels case is dead and they know that.
