    Overview of Chinese Uniforms Throughout the Fallout Series (Google Doc link, comments open)

    Posted: 21 Dec 2020 02:30 PM PST

    I got bored and decided to put down my long-held thoughts on the communist Chinese clothing we see in Fallouts 3, 4 and 76. !!Skip past blurb to the end for link!!

    The Fallout games tell the story of the pre-war USA in countless ways- through terminal entries, city design and architecture, people's clothing, leftover technology such as robots and automobiles, the way people speak, newspapers, and so on. We eventually accumulate enough knowledge to develop a well-rounded image of what pre-war America, and to the lesser extent the world in general, may have actually been like. Much care is put into crafting and strategically placing these elements so that they are noticed and appreciated.

    China, America's major geopolitical and ideological adversary in the years leading up to The War, remains an almost total mystery. Very few things are known about China, and it will probably stay that way. Some people aren't satisfied with this, and are always hungry for new details or speculations about the pre-war world in general, including China. I think the most vivid details we can learn about pre-war China in the Fallout universe are communicated through the few Chinese uniforms that we can find in-game.

    Anyway, I combined my ridiculous knowledge of Chinese history and military aesthetics with my love of and familiarity with Fallout to present, to anyone interested, the most comprehensive look at Chinese uniforms in the Fallout series. Comments and discussion are appreciated!

    You know in Mothership Zeta when that laser hits the earth is that ever explained again? What area did it hit? Was it the size of another nuke?

    I just wanna discuss this whole dlc so many questions like all the people they picked up and the fact that you can hit the earth with a laser what do you think that did to that area? Where did it actually hit?

    How does Mr. House make caps?

    Posted: 21 Dec 2020 03:06 PM PST

    Mr. House has quite a bit of caps at his disposal, paying 2000 caps each for simple snowglobes, and spending a large but unspecified amount on acquiring the platinum chip. But where does he get this money? Do the casinos pay some kind of fee to him for being under the protection of the strip?

    How long can a ghoul live?

    Posted: 21 Dec 2020 03:03 AM PST

    Most of the ghouls in the Fallout universe are over 200 years old, so I was wondering how long a ghoul could live before it eventually dies on its own

    What is the implications of Goris potentially breeding with a non FEV intelligent deathclaw?

    Posted: 21 Dec 2020 09:45 PM PST

    Gruthar, and consequently Goris, carry the mutated gene from the FEV experimentation and are of course intelligent. If Goris as the last survivor of his clan were to mate to produce offspring that have a chance of being intelligent, would that be morally wrong? I don't see him doing it and I believe it'd be out of character, but if he were to, would that be an animal breeding with another animal, or predatory/weird? It seems like if an educated man bred with a woman cut off from civilization and surviving on her own in the wilderness from a cognition standpoint.

    How does cannibalism work?

    Posted: 21 Dec 2020 06:29 PM PST

    I'm not talking about Wendigos or Skinwalkers, I mean logistically eating humans is unhealthy and inefficient but somehow in game gives considerable benefits to the character. Are those psychosomatic, like they just think they feel 'better' after eating another person or have humans in fallout evolved to derive more nutrition from eating each other? Does Kuru not exist or is it cured or something?

    Will supermutants in Commonwealth become extinct?

    Posted: 22 Dec 2020 02:45 AM PST

    Ok, so, we know that supermutants in Commonwealth were created by the Institute, if the Sole Survivor destroy the institute, it means that no new supermutants will be created, right? then, this supermutant generation is the last?
