if i were the vault dweller and i came back from the ends of the earth with the water chip just for them to be like “ok now leave and never come back” i would just not give them the water chip. rest in peace to vault 13 but i’m different

this is crucial to our survival. and frankly, i... i think you’re the only hope we have.

The relief sculpture used in Fallout 2 used at Vault 8 and the Enclave Oil Rig comes from “Atomic Energy” sculpture presented at The Century of Progress, Chicago World’s Fair, 1933-34.

It’s companion sculpture was “Stellar Energy“ and were created by Ulric Ellerhusen.

Started reading A Canticle For Leibowitz on my train ride today and folks, given that this is a Fallout: New Vegas blog, if you love post-nuclear fiction set in the American southwest then boy do I have a book recommendation for you

fallout 1 immediately set the tone not only for itself but for the entire series when the first thing you see is a news report that says “our dedicated boys keep the peace in newly annexed canada” and then cuts to footage of a solider in power armor executing a civilian while another soldier laughs and then it cuts to an american flag with BUY WAR BONDS superimposed over the image

[veeranger]

excuse me forgot the part where they wave at the camera after the execution

actually no i can probably broaden my thesis to almost all fallout factions: i feel the incompetence and ridiculousness of almost all fo factions like the ncr, the enclave and the legion are completely essential to making fallout feel like fallout, y'know. like making them like unironically cool or functional loses fallout's satirical edge to me, ykwim?

like i feel whenever people try to make the enclave come back or make it like this super badass villian i feel theyre missing the point like they're the same dudes that lost most of their men + their president because they thought hiding out in a highly explodable oil rig was a good idea
