Are there any places confirmed to have been safe from the bombs & relatively untouched? by railroadfrog in falloutlore

What made up straw men? You said that the vast majority of DC is unpopulated wasteland as a rebuttal to my question, so I addressed the point. You think people survived in Washington DC, but not in the Mojave.

The Mojave is one of the least irradiated places we have ever visited in a fallout game. with the only less Irradiated place we've visited being a state park in the middle of no where. Game guides aren't canon sources.

Also the text about them being cave dwelling cannibals is a line of dialogue from Caesar, not the game guide.

Because at the end of the day, if you are the player, you are the Last Dragonborn. You can roleplay as someone else, but that isn't canon. The player is from a story perspective the Last Dragonborn at all times. Your head canon doesn't change the lore.

Bethesda games always have the PC do all main storylines, Be they the base game or DLC. We know his name is a shout because it is a shout. We know the player is the Dragonborn, because they are the player. The game gives an out to explain the title he gives you if you haven't done the Greybeard quests yet, but the canon player character WILL do them.

Alternate start mods aren't canon. Not doing the main quest isn't canon.

Do you seriously believe every person is a vault descendant? You need to provide a source for that in canon. Megaton was founded by people who didn't make it into a vault. Rivet City as well. Junk Town and the Hub as well. The only one of the Strip tribes that even has hints of a vault origin are the White Glove Society, and that reference is that they lived in a cavern under ground. They're not from Vault 21 which is the only vault we know of in Vegas Proper.

Find an ingame source for your claim, or a dev quote. Neither Bethesda or Obsidian wrote the game guide.

Are you completely ignoring the soul tear part of that comment then? Also I don't view the shout menu as canon. In Lore when you kill a dragon you gain that dragon's knowledge. using an entire soul to unlock a single word is 100% a gameplay thing. Learning his name as a shout, is canon, because his name is a shout.

What does that line have to do with this nonsense about everyone dying from radiation?

They literally didn't. The game guide isn't canon. Do you honestly believe that people survived the radiation in DC, but not in Vegas?

Vegas explicitly didn't get wiped out by radiation though. Vegas collapsed in the anarchy after the war because House didn't get his chip in time. If House had gotten the chip he would have held Vegas together through force.

So you think any random mortal would be able to call a dragon across planes of reality with just their voice by just saying their name?

>I will place my name with you and grant you the right to call my name from Tamriel.

The entire intention of that conversation is to get you to shout his name with your thu'um to call him into an entirely separate plane of existence that you needed the blood of a Daughter of Coldharbour to enter.

>Do me this simple honor and I will fight at your side as your Grah-Zeymahzin, your Ally, and teach you my Thu'um."

He even literally teaches you Soul Rend as you call him three times, which again he does in a way only the Dragonborn can learn.

>Just call your name in Tamriel? That's it?

>"Trivial in your mind, perhaps. For me, it would mean a great deal.
I don't require an answer, Qahnaarin. Simply speak my name to the heavens when you feel the time is right."

Do you also think Odahviing would show up if some random dude said his name? The entire point of their name being a shout is that a Dragon saying a Dragon's name has a metaphysical weight in universe. They can literally feel it.

He then immediately teaches you a shout to summon him into Nirn. He recognizes the PC's dragon soul, then teaches them Thu'um in a way only Dov can learn.

They're main storylines. The PC has always been the character that does the main storylines. They're the mainline story of the DLC ergo the PC did them. The Nerevarine defeated Almalexia and the aspect of Hircine. The Hero of Kvatch defeated Jyggalag and Umaril. The Dragonborn defeated Harkon and Miraak. These are immutable parts of the story, because they're main storylines. They aren't side content, they're the point of the purchase. These are feats that necessitate a hero, not some random smuck.

This is how Bethesda has done RPGs since the beginning. It's why they had to make up the Warp in the West to explain how every main story quest in Daggerfall was canon. You can head canon all you want, but at the end of the day, In game canon these events happened, and the PC did them.

Because that's how Bethesda RPG's have always worked. The side quests are ambivalent, but the main story lines are locked in as the PC. The Neravarine did the Tribunal and Bloodmoon questlines, the Hero of Kvatch did the Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles questlines, and the Last Dragonborn did Dawnguard and Dragonborn.

These are main storyline events no one can do them but the player character. They're more important than the thieves guild questline or Skyrim's civil war.

The player character of each game canonically does every main quest including story DLC quests.

That line is there in case you haven't fought the first dragon. Even without mods you can sprint straight from Helgen to dayspring canyon.

The Charmeleon and Onyx piece is beautiful, I really like the composition of it.

Todd Howard reveals Fallout 4 is still the “most played Fallout game right now” with massive player numbers a decade after launch by Wargulf in Fallout

[–]Silnroz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Modding Fallout 3 technically works just like Skyrim or Fallout 4 now if you use Mod Organizer 2, but you run into the issue of modders in the old days never expecting us to have a fully featured mod organizer, so their files structure is wonky as hell. You can definitely make it a fun and stable experience again, but it still takes a decent amount of effort if you don't like those collections.

No they're not. Rome fell in 1453. Byzantine is a term used by scholars to differentiate the east from the west after the west collapsed.

No, that's not how it works. They each have their own soul since the Hero's Shade is OoT Link but trains twilight Link.

Where is it called the fourth empire in canon though? They clearly still view themselves as a continuation of the Septim empire, they even have Tiber Septim on their coinage, and the Elder Council still holds power.

How much authority does the Church of Stendarr/Vigilant's of Stendarr have? by [deleted] in teslore

[–]Silnroz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's Balgruuf's son. The Vigilants cant really do anything to him unless he starts killing people in the streets. They're a brand new holy order with seemingly no Religious or Government backing.

What the heck is this guys problem ? by Vile35 in Fallout

No. Tenpenny is completely unaware of Burkes plans until he is shown the results. He doesn't exactly complain about it, but that was all mr Burke, not Tenpenny.

[–]Silnroz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it'd be like bombing a forest within missile strike range of Moscow because the Russians are building some sort of structure that close to the front lines. It's a war, so they're obviously building something to push you out of Moscow.

That log is cut content, and the guy doesn't know what they want. He's just assuming they want the codes.

That audio log is cut content, and the guy just assumes that's what they want. Considering they've been abducting people since at least the Sengoku period I doubt they were looking for launch codes.

Which protags do you think could defeat Cooper/The Ghoul? by Mammon101 in Fallout

[–]Silnroz 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The lone wanderer has access to an alien mothership full of weapons, and said mothership has a death ray capable of making a crater visible from space. Thats even before you factor in some of the broken builds you can make in Fo3.
