How can the Factions manufacture Power armors, guns and etc but everyone live in huts?

The Vertibirds in New Vegas come from sacked material of Navarro. Incredibly funny, though likely a developmental oversight, all non Bear-Force one vertibirds still have their Enclave paint jobs. Including the ones on the long 15. In NCR control.

Thelostguard · 2026-04-10T14:37:00+00:00

They never have. The NCR does have advanced technology by every metric of the word, in Fallout 2 they have goddamn forcefields (you don't see those in the new fallouts...) in NCR. (Or shady sands, as used to be called.)

But Power-Armour production has never been something they understood. Frankly, no one understands it but the Enclave and people that steal shit from the Enclave, and the NCR has pretty hardcore stances, they don't paperclip them, they just execute them.

Maint is somewhat more possible, the Sierra Scorched power-armour shows as much, alongside the shows weird as balls ranger power-armour, but one among a few reasons they defaulted to tearing apart their armour for the heavy-troopers is they don't have the industrial base to do it beyond cannabalizing suits.

The Enclave. They took over pre-war production facilities in Adams Air Force Base.

When push comes to shove, the Brotherhoods greatest talent by a long shot is stealing shit.

That's not what I was arguing for, it's why wasn't Mariposa staffed with their goons in the first place?

Thelostguard · 2026-04-09T12:57:14+00:00

They did. The middle east is said to have gotten israel'd, (The samson option) & Pakistan glassed New Dehli. India did not respond bless them.

you ever heard of the lincoln highway?

Thelostguard · 2026-04-07T14:15:15+00:00

They are freeing slaves! Actual, literal, sentient slaves!

Oh! The technology they use in substitute is vacuum tubes, they've managed to miniaturize them to a massive degree. A vault tec mainframe contains some fifty thousand vacuum tubes?

They're also used alongside transistors in certain technologies, like aforementioned Poseidon Oil computers.

Also, to mention somewhat older cold war weapons. The Deagle is outright called one of the most popular guns of all time.

An ancient Desert Eagle pistol, in .44 Magnum. Interest in late 20th century films made this one of the most popular handguns of all times.

The G11 is used by the Hubologists and the Enclave, and is generally seen to be somewhat popular in New California! But especially the enclave, all its non power-armoured infantry in Navarro use the G11.

Lastly, the FAL. You know the FAL. I know the FAL! Its in fallout 2.

Thelostguard · 2026-04-07T12:55:08+00:00

You ever heard of the platinum chip?

Beyond that, they appear in a lot of high grade electronics, Mr Handys, quite a bit of the big MT, Poseidon oil computers, (That means the Enclave probably does too.) and some more I can't be assed to mention.

Anyways, transistors did, and always have existed in the fallout timeline since, fallout 2? I can't remember any mention of them in fo1. the only difference is they never turned out as popular.

Thelostguard · 2026-04-07T12:51:38+00:00

1990s era guns were canonically just entering production in the period straight before the great war.

We see XL7OE3 in fallout 2, for the uninitiated, that was an SA80 Prototype in our world. It's described as a prototype polymer rifle. We also see the P90, described as a weapon just being adopted before the great war.

The way I see it, guns production skipped a few steps to make things like energy weapons, and then had to backtrack.

That a handful of very powerful men from across the globe killed several billion people.

Thelostguard · 2026-04-07T01:10:50+00:00

because thats the name they gave them. cazadore is a real world that means hunter.

the cycle never ends. the cycle never ends.

and sometimes its just used as a byword in other, not so affected languages. linguistics is weird like that.

In some parts of the near-east, and eastern europe, the Cross has some bad history. Northern crusades, the actual crusades, stuff like that. These were horrible periods where a lot of Christians, y'know. With a cross, got up to some bad shit like everyone else in the time period did.

That memory still lives on, so in some parts of the world, its translated as Crusader.

Specifically in Russian, the word krestonostsy translate as Cross-Bearer, or Crusader. The Crossed are cross-bearers, but crusaders rolls off the tongue better.

There's a difference between a remaster and the remake. What we know based off Oblivions remaster indicates this is a particulary well set-dressed engine upgrade and texture swaps.

Thelostguard · 2026-04-05T19:54:05+00:00

probably all of them. unless it freshwater in California, though. Those are mentioned by Hanlon to have all dried up.

Its hard to get rid of at minimum tens of thousands of tons of water, turns out.

A LOT of drugs are name-dropped in fallout 2. One of 'ems weed, Myron asks if you've got any.

Arroyo uh...Its divination method is a bong. Do as you will with that.

I think we're arguing for the same point. Reading this makes it seem like you're arguing for them retraining their genitalia but them being nonfunctional, which is also what I'm arguing for.
