| How did the culture of the BOS develop? Posted: 10 Aug 2020 08:56 AM PDT The BOS is descended from a group of US soldiers who went rogue for moral reasons but I fail to see how they would've developed into a group who calls themselves the BOS, has medieval ranks suck as Paladin and Knight, is a monarchy in all but name which reveres the Maxson bloodline and is highly xenophobic-isolationist. They're less US soldiers and more similar to the Adeptus Mechanicus of Warhammer 40K. [link] [comments] |
| Was there an American military campaign in the Gobi desert? Posted: 10 Aug 2020 07:00 PM PDT In fallout new vegas we find in a very hard locked box above cottonwood cove inside there is a Gobi desert sniper rifle and in zion canyon we find desert ranger combat armor also the ncr rangers were formed from the desert rangers. Was there a campaign in the Gobi desert or is a coincidence. [link] [comments] |
| How are squirrels and iguanas one of the most commonly eaten animals in the games? Posted: 11 Aug 2020 12:13 AM PDT You can eat them but we never see them. How'd they survive? [link] [comments] |
| Any information about Vermont? Posted: 10 Aug 2020 09:57 PM PDT Saw a rumor about Beth scouting and taking pics in The capital city of Vermont. Wanted to see if any lore was available. [link] [comments] |
| The average age-range of the Legion military? Posted: 10 Aug 2020 09:29 PM PDT One thing that I always wondered about the Legion is the age-range of their Army. Almost all the Legion soldiers you interact with in-game are young adults, with the exception of Lucius and maybe Lanius. When speaking to Canyon Runner about the Weathers family, he states that Kenny Weathers is too old to be a Legion soldier."There's a boy, too old to be trained as a Legionary. Normally they have to die, but he's too frail to make trouble."Lucius seems to be the oldest Legion soldier (Or at least one of), as Caesar states he has been the head of the Praetorian guard for 5 years and is getting older. "Lucius has been the head of my guard for five years now. He was a subordinate guard for eight before that. No invitee has dared to challenge him yet. Maybe it's an issue of respect - he is getting on in years."Add on to the fact that the life expectancy of a Legion soldier is very short due to the extremely brutal nature of being in the military ranks. So, my question for y'all is what is the average age-range of the Legion military? My guess is around 16-40. [link] [comments] |
| Possible developer oversight/lore break at Gorski Cabin? Posted: 10 Aug 2020 11:18 PM PDT I think it's reasonable to assume Gorski Cabin has been untouched by post war settlers, at least it's basement, considering there is a unique feral ghoul of Wayne Gorski still alive in the basement along with the terminal that proves Gorski was from before the war. Then why is it that there is the Diamond City Wasteland Survival Guide magazine right next him and the terminal? Unless Gorski survived long enough or turned into a non feral from the radiation in his basement, survived as a non feral long enough to have bought the Wasteland Survival Guide at some point between 2277 & 2287, and some time after that turned into a feral ghoul? That's the only logical explanation as to how Gorski came into possession of a Wasteland Survival Guide. But if that was true, surely he would've made some post war terminal entries instead of just his pre war entry [link] [comments] |
| Why aren't the Monongahela and Ohio rivers massively irradiated in Fallout 76? Posted: 10 Aug 2020 06:12 AM PDT In The Pitt we learn that the city is severely irradiated, including the Ohio and Mononhagela rivers. The Mononhagela is also the most irradiated body of water in the series, with 400 rads/s average. The Mononhagela starts in Grafton in both real life and in the game, so I can understand why it isn't massively radiated before reaching Pittsburgh but the Ohio river starts in Pittsburgh proper and flows south, eventually forming the Ohio-WV border. So, is there any actual lore reason that they aren't massively irradiated? [link] [comments] |
| Are the secret service (fo76) related to the enclave ? Posted: 10 Aug 2020 09:17 AM PDT They both are related with the government but do they work together ? [link] [comments] |
| Enclave Succession - How did Eden become President Posted: 10 Aug 2020 01:19 PM PDT Why did Eden become the 'New' President after the Destruction of the Oil Rig? Wouldn't one of the Highest Members left of the Enclave at Navarro take the Position as President? [link] [comments] |
| Which is worse radiation wise, The Divide or The Pitt? Posted: 10 Aug 2020 07:55 PM PDT My money's on the divide based on the sheer proximity to the nukes that made it that way. I haven't played very much of Fallout 3 however, so my knowledge of Pittsburgh is limited. [link] [comments] |
| Questions and considerations regarding the value of bottlecaps... Posted: 10 Aug 2020 12:21 PM PDT It's always seemed odd to me that Caps would be the primary currency of the waste, especially nation wide. Largely, I suspect there must have been machines which survived after the bombs fell, much like the recycling machines we need in many stores with automated payment for redeemed cans or bottles, which offered some reward for bottle caps returned to them which was rare and valuable enough to merit saving caps whenever found and protected from the nuclear blast by machines too sturdy to simply rob. This would explain the widespread prevalence of this currency without some inherent value like we'd find in bullets, nor a centralized government backing them with trade routes wide enough to spread the use across the united states, as machines from a national corporation would have already been nationwide and their redemption would create the initial value. Even after the machines were empty, the habit would already have been established and values assigned, and since making new ones is out of the reach of most survivors, they would retain the scarcity needed to maintain value. Add in that they don't seem to degrade much over time (unlike prewar money) and are light enough for easy use, this ended up becoming the defacto system simply due to its universal prevalence. However, almost all (Cough Festus Cough) known vending machines use prewar money. Given their mass and composition, they seem far less valuable than other metals (like reloadable brass bullet casings, for example, which would also have universal value and low weight). Are there any machines other than Festus which can be used to redeem caps? Does anyone have better knowledge of the other potential reasons behind this? Or just any thoughts on the subject in general? UPDATE: Apparently, the Whitespring hotel from Fallout 76 had robot run shops operating under a promotion to use caps instead of currency, and backed this with a labor force starting at 500 robots plus an entire resort. Given that trade routes would likely want caps to use here, this may have been enough to start the spread of use through interconnecting trade caravan routes, and given the existence of Festus may even point towards these kinds of promotions being a larger trend, which is why this replaced not only larger fiat currencies without the goods and services to back them, but also similar durable metals like brass bullet casings which have more practical applications. Thanks to user u/sikels for getting me started on Whitesprings. UPDATE 2: According to the Whitespring resort terminal Staff Bulletin for October 2077 "The Nuka-Cola Corporation will sponsor our first BUSINESS CLASS promotion. To celebrate the release of Nuka-Cola Quantum, Nuka-Cola bottle cap will be accepted as legal tender throughout the hotel.". This points to a product release being promoted with a bottle cap gimmick, which STRONGLY suggests that this may have been done in other places as Nuka-Cola was a large national mega corporation. Limiting this to one location does not make sense, but further instances have yet to be confirmed. [link] [comments] |
| Any appearances of historical landmarks? Posted: 10 Aug 2020 08:53 AM PDT Thw white house? The pentagon? The state department? Hollywood? Why has not New York made an appearance? Just immagine the skyscraper ruins of manhattan looking like metropolis. [link] [comments] |
