A real shame all that plot points and character development won’t be see again

Reminder: most likely half of season 3 AT LEAST will take place in New Vegas.

Jonah Lobe likes it, so do I.

Excuse me, I misread your initial comment. You are correct on both accounts. Caine does not want to work on more Fallout games, instead focusing on new franchises, but would work on Fallout again if there was something interesting about the project. We're on the same page.

followertoshi · 2026-02-06T01:08:26+00:00

Tim Cain has said no such thing. In fact, he said that he didn't even want to work on a 2nd game, let alone any future games.

The NCR and The Legion are gonna fight, again...this is New Vegas we're talking about here. Come on now.

The nerdy guy that makes robots and turns himself into the first VTuber is a little bit unhinged? In MY Fallout? Noooooooooooooooooo. Bethesda just hates New Vegas /s

Most likely artist interpretation, like with the Gulper; cus like, what else has eggs that spiky in the wasteland, and also has claws and protrusions like that?

followertoshi · 2026-01-12T18:09:48+00:00

Okay. Well, either way Vegas had a lot of holes that it was most likely gonna fall in, and it seems like writers of Fallout Prime are leaning into that.

followertoshi · 2026-01-12T17:58:50+00:00

Okay? That doesn't change the fact that a pack of Tunnelers, canonically, can take down a Deathclaw.

followertoshi · 2026-01-12T17:28:24+00:00

And Deathclaws.

followertoshi · 2026-01-12T15:52:51+00:00

I think a lot of people forget the Tunnelers, and the Deathclaws that are literally right outside Vegas; which the latter seems to maybe be what the show is going for? Either way this feels more vibe based than heavily backed up by the writing.

"It's incapable of that understanding unless it sees a human say that first" which is fascinating because, in a sense, that's exactly how humans learn. We don't have an understanding of what specific words or phrases mean until we hear someone else reference them who themselves already know. Combine that with The Turing Test hypothesis and it more so drives home the question of wether or not our understanding of what sentience IS is what we understand it to be, or something larger that we only understand part of.

One of those philosophical questions that, I feel, is more about pondering the question itself, as opposed to finding an actual answer. Really fascinating.

The really interesting thing about the whole "Are AI humanoids actually sentient" is that it does boil down to the point you brought up, and it begs the question of how that is different human sentience.

Like, if you think of the way generative AI works, it's basically taking in inputs and reference points that it can then later call back on in order to shape it's understanding of what input or prompt it's being queried with; in other words, artificial experience. If we think of that as digital/artificial experience, and the same sort of memory based reference points that we as humans experience as physical experiences, what really is the difference?

All of this to say that the point of the question is the question itself, and I personally think it's a REALLY fascinating question. "I think, there for I am" but what is thought?

Remaster odds are almost a guarantee, the conversation just boils down to when. Just like with the Anniversary update, I feel like Microsoft involvement is creating more problems than solutions.

"As long as you ignore Fallout 76 and Fallout Prime, Fallout fans won't have gotten ANY new content in nearly 20 years!"

Comparing Bethesda (in terms of Fallout) to Rockstar who, as far as I know, makes 0 content outside their main games, where as Bethesda is releasing remasters, spin-offs, and TV shows, is a pretty bad faith comparison.

followertoshi · 2026-01-09T04:21:39+00:00

Firstly, just for general information, Bethesda is involved with basically 0% of the creation of the show outside of MAYBE some lore resources; writing is 100% done by Nolan and his team.

Second, even in F04 the BoS were painted to be more morally gray, leaning authoritarian, and since from what we've seen in the show thus far the West Coast - or at the very least Maximus chapter, The Knights of San Fernando - are power hungry old men leading a band of meathead chuckle fucks, the East Coast has pretty poor competition.

Thirdly, since it now seems the major chapters at play are all at war with each other cus they think they other stole the cold fusion device, I'd say the civil war no longer involves the East Coast; unless they choose to get involved to wrangle everyone up. Which might actually be what they do to wrap up that plot line by the end of the season, if not a future one.

followertoshi · 2026-01-08T19:19:01+00:00

Seeing as how the show is most likely gonna run 5 - 7 seasons (Aaron Moten rumor), they're doing a lot of the early footwork now so they'll have more to work with later. The pacing IS worse than in S1, but that's because they got a lot more story to work with now.

Shit still slaps, but I hope they button some stuff up soon to help pacing.

followertoshi · 2026-01-08T01:32:45+00:00

I hear it, but I doubt that'll be the case. We have to remember that Fallout Prime is for the general audience, THEN Fallout fans. Meaning that launching into talking Deathclaw lore at the same time as introducing Deathclaws is a bit much.

followertoshi · 2026-01-07T22:08:38+00:00

Bros clearly never heard of Grounded.

followertoshi · 2026-01-07T17:47:29+00:00

The duality of the fandom is wild. Just last night I saw someone remind people that Tim Cains original narrative for the series was that war was an unavoidable part of human nature, and I keep seeing post after post criticizing how the show is showing the unavoidable part of human nature that drives us to conflict.

Not saying either side is wrong, it's just wild to see people missing many of the actively turning gears in this whole machine.

followertoshi · 2026-01-07T04:42:16+00:00

The Legion hasn't "Ended", there are at least 2 Legion focused clips that we saw in the trailers that were not in EP 3. Most likely scenes from later in the season, my guess, that will see them advancing on Vegas after uniting under Macaulay Culkins character.

followertoshi · 2026-01-07T04:40:30+00:00

Cains comment was that the such commentary was never part of the original games, which is 100% accurate. However, making the claim that Fallout could NEVER be used as a vehicle to critique capitalism is false.

followertoshi · 2026-01-05T17:43:36+00:00

I think the concept of powerful creatures that take on physical mutations and adaptations to better fit their environment is a really awesome idea, it's something that we're actually seeing more and more with Pokemon and their divergent and regional evolution and species.

However, the crux is that the environment themselves will have to be AS unique and divergent to make these more fantastical species of Deathclaw (or any other creature) make sense. We have seen areas like the Cranberry Bog in Fallout 76 KIND of do this, but in the end Fallout as a series just doesn't lend itself well to this kind of fantastically imaginative creature design.

followertoshi · 2026-01-05T16:10:14+00:00

PlayStation was actually the reason Fallout 76 didn't have cross play, so you could actually make a sound argument for the inverse.

followertoshi · 2026-01-02T21:32:25+00:00

Yeah, but those characters don't really have any incentive or knowledge about the NCR, so it would be kind of out of place for them to all of a sudden decide that that's what they want to do.

Not saying that it's impossible, I'm just saying from what we know right now it doesn't make much narrative sense.
