    What happened to anti-missile weapons?

    Posted: 07 Aug 2020 04:51 PM PDT

    I was just wondering this. Youd think as the cold war progressed that we would of had more advanced anti-missile technology just as in real life however the only anti-missile weapon I remembering being in the games was The Lucky 38. Is there an in-game explanation to the lack of anti-missile weapons?

    The BoS leadership conflict was based on "The Foundation"'s first crisis

    Posted: 07 Aug 2020 09:07 PM PDT

    A couple of things before the post really begins:

    1. English is not my first language thing.
    2. Spoilers (I guess) for some BoS quests.
    3. Just got into the game, if I miss something feel free to point out as I do not know the whole story.
    4. The post may be somewhat long so bear with me.

    Now to the matter mentioned in the Title.

    I have reason to believe that I mentioned in the title is true and also serves as a reference to "The Foundation" series by Asimov, If you haven't already read it I highly recommend doing so.

    In the first book we are presented to the character Salvador Hardin. This character understands the troubling situation the Foundation is in and thinks that the only way that they can move forward with their plans Is if he takes over as Governor. Hardin handles the situation with little care for diplomacy and imprisons all politicians that could interfere with his rise to power.

    The Foundation was an organization that had access to every type of technology the Empire had before it was dissolved and was created by the people of the Empire itself.

    Hardin got the idea that he had to take over after he saw that all previous governors did nothing to continue with the Foundation's goal, but rather stayed safe in an isolated corner of the galaxy.

    In Fallout New Vegas the Brotherhood of Steel has two possible leaders: Elder McNamara and Paladin Hardin (if you decide to help him)

    When we first meet the BoS in the game Mcnamara is Elder, leader of the BoS branch of the Mojave. This elder has imposed many "laws" limiting interaction with the outside world almost to being non-existent, leaving the BoS (An organization created shortly after the bombs fell with access to most technology known to man) isolated in their bunker at the edge of the map.

    Then came along Paladin Hardin, a man who believes that current leadership is holding back the BoS potential to expand across the wasteland and his plan to change the situation is to take over Mcnamara's position as Elder after exposing that he violated "The Chain that binds".

    Parallels between "The Foundation" and FNW:

    • Both characters that plan to take over the faction they are in are named Hardin and have a very high position, basically second in command.
    • Both have similar personalities regarding how to act, Book Hardin cares little for diplomacy and Game Hardin conducts a secret investigation.
    • The Foundation and the BoS are similar in the sense of how they were created and their potential in a lawless world.
    • McNamara and The Foundation's original leadership are presented the same way, people who want to stay safe in the comfort zone.

    Conclusion: The BoS's conflict of leadership was heavily influenced by Hardin's arc in "The Foundation"

    Whatever happened to horses? Why isn't there any horse in New Vegas?

    Why does Ulysses lose hope in the Brotherhood?

    Posted: 07 Aug 2020 09:49 PM PDT

    Was it just because they were too obsessed with technology or was there more to it than that?

    How does an average family look like in the Fallout universe?

    Posted: 07 Aug 2020 10:28 AM PDT

    I'm very interested in social history and I was wondering for a while whether child-bearing/rearing trends as well as relationships changed due to the apocalypse.

    So, do people procreate more or less? I'm not sure about trends before the war but the setting and what we see in lore suggests "traditional" family life of the 1950s America.

    As such, do people keep on having numerous kids post-war (ensuring that at least some of them survive under weak/non-existent healthcare conditions) or did they revert to "no kids because post-apo"? I mean, sure, they still have kids because otherwise the population would die out but it could be that they decide to have only one or two kids because of the situation they're in.

    Do folks marry? If so, are there still religious entities that officiate or are those civil weddings? Or are they married "in practice"? I suppose the further from "civilization" (like NCR) the less of a chance for an official wedding, but still. Or maybe the institution of marriage as we know it doesn't exist anymore and folks just don't bother?

    How does labor division look like? Is everyone on "equal" standing now or do people still divide labor "traditionally" as in women take on easier/less-taxing work and men do more physically taxing work? I know that we see plenty of women in different positions of power and working alongside men but I wonder if that's out of necessity and more-civilized/safer places reverted to the traditional model?

    Are there any horses?

    Posted: 07 Aug 2020 11:07 PM PDT

    I've never seen any horses or horse related genetically mutated animal in fallout and I feel like they would be an essential mode of travel in a post apocalyptic setting

    Can I get help find an unmarked location on Fallout 76?

    Posted: 07 Aug 2020 09:58 PM PDT

    I had a raider themed base idea and I am trying to find a rope bridge that has a prefab raider trading post on one side, it has a couple cages and is over a small cliff. I cant find it anywhere online.

    Why is there a green spot on the earth

    Posted: 08 Aug 2020 12:17 AM PDT

    During mothership zeta you can view the earth from the ship when you go to look at it there's a giant green spot. Is that the glowing sea or is it something else?

    Do we know anything about how the other countries looked like in fallout.

    Posted: 07 Aug 2020 10:42 PM PDT

    We know that the America of Fallout is based around the 50s/60s era but do we know how other countries like China and Russia looked like Or do we just assume that the whole world was stuck in 50s era aesthetics.

    Another related topic is do we know anything about other countries after the bombs dropped. Im pretty sure Deathclaws and FEV never left the US so mutants wouldnt be a thing over seas right?

    U.S. President Dead in Fallout?

    Posted: 07 Aug 2020 09:59 AM PDT

    So something that I've been thinking about, and it may have already been answered, is what happened to the president of the U.S.? I would assume he was in a bunker somewhere probably outfitted by VaultTec. Would it be safe to assume he survived the bombs and, if so, would he be enclave?

    How id the Enclave evil if its post-war United States that carries freedom and democracy?

    Posted: 07 Aug 2020 09:23 AM PDT

    Why does the Brotherhood have 3+ power armor in every game while the Enclave only has one?

    Posted: 07 Aug 2020 08:07 AM PDT

    T-45, T-51, and T-60, and T-65 powerarmor. Enclave has Mk II in Fallout 2, Remnants in New Vegas, and Shocktrooper in Fallout 3.

    Why does the Brotherhood of steel have more variants? How do these variants keep getting ass pulled? We used to have only t-51 power armor, now we have t-∞ power armor?
